Another show based on a children’s manga by Noboru Kawasaki, produced by Tatsunoko Production and airing on Fuji TV on Sundays at 6 PM, shown before Sazae-san, it aired from October 6, 1974 to September 26, 1976 for 104 episodes.

It replaced Gatchaman in its timeslot and was replaced by Paul's Miraculous Adventure, the show is about seven young brothers and sisters who grow up peacefully supported by the love and care of their parents, but by their touring wedding anniversary, they were killed.

The show is written by Shigeru Yanagigawa and Takao Koyama (the latter later became the first head writer for Urusei Yatsura) and is directed by Hiroshi Sasagawa, whose known already as the head director on plenty Tatsunoko shows. As for my thoughts on it, well, it unfortunately didn’t get a fansub so no. However, I’m curious on checking it out because it can actually get quite intriguing for a children’s anime, I also would like to mention that unlike Inakappe Taishō, the episodes are full-length, which means more story and development!

443. Bremen 4: Angels in Hell (1981)

3/10

An Osamu Tezuka feature about the lives of four animals during wartime, as aided by a peaceful alien who happened to visit the planet at the wrong time. The cheap, cutesy animation, and particularly the silly dialogue, does a disservice to the dark and violent subject matter. (The English title is also misleading – there’s no angels or hell depicted in this film, except perhaps metaphorically.)

Obscure Animation Subject #47: Hakushon Daimaō (aka The Genie Family)

Originally posted on Twitter on April 7, 2023.

Produced by Tatsunoko Production, it aired on Fuji TV from October 5, 1969 to September 27, 1970, airing on Sundays at 6 PM before the ever popular Sazae-san, which premiered on the same day.

The series tells the story of a boy who finds a bottle with a mysterious power, each time its user sneezes or yawns, a genie will come up and must grant the user's wish. Written by Jinzō Toriumi and directed by Hiroshi Sasagawa, it lasted for 52 half-hours, each with two stories.

The show itself is mostly gag heavy, until the final episode where it became a tear-jerking drama however. I will not spoil what happens in the episode, but I will tell you it will make you cry real hard, like its one of the saddest series finales ever produced.

Anyways, the show was only a modest hit when airing, having eh ratings thoughout its run, though the Sazae-san anime had higher ratings to continue for more years and its still running on TV with its original timeslot, being there ever since the show began airing.

Hakushon Daimaō wasn’t talked about again until it entered cult status, being released on video and also through reruns on television. The cult was big enough to the point where two spin-offs focusing on Akubi aired in the 2000s, followed by a sequel series in 2020.

It was even to the point where the titular character would appear in the video game Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes and a cameo in the first episode of the Yatterman reboot. Heck, Saban would license the series for an English dub in 1992, as Bob in a Bottle.

So yeah, this show started off being a show that’s barely cared about when airing, but then became a cult classic thanks to reruns and home media. I even like the show a bit myself, and while not a must see, I do recommend checking it out for something you want to get comfy with.
