Time Bokan 24 (タイムボカン24 Taimubokan Nijū Yon) (also written as Time Bokan Twenty Four) is the 9th instalment in the Time Bokan franchise which is a re-imagining of the original Time Bokan (series). The series is a collaboration between Tatsunoko Productions and Level-5 to celebrate Tatsunoko Productions' 55th anniversary in 2017. It was announced at AnimeJapan and premiered from October 1, 2016 to March 18, 2017.
A second season titled Time Bokan: The Villains' Strike Back (タイムボカン 逆襲の三悪人 Time Bokan: Gyakushū no San-Akunin) premiered from October 7, 2017 to March 24, 2018.
This is the first Time Bokan series to not feature Noriko Ohara, Jōji Yanami and Kazuya Tatekabe voicing the villain trio, due to Tatekabe's death in 2015 and Yanami's failing health. The roles have since been inherited by Eri Kitamura, Hiroki Hirata and Kenta Miyake, who voiced the descendents of the Doronbo Gang in Yatterman Night.
Plot[]
Tokio is a junior high student living in the present but suddenly becomes a member of the Space-Time Administration Bureau in the 24th century. Immediately, he learns that the history he has learned in textbooks is wrong, and there is a more interesting version of history where the peerless beauty Cleopatra is actually a comedy duo named Cleo and Patra, Momotaro is more of an ogre than an ogress. Together with his teammate Karen, they use their Time Bokan Mecha to search for the True History.
The series also has a mecha called the DX B01 Mechabuton which had a toy unveiled at the International Tokyo Toy Show by Takara Tomy.
