Tensai Bakabon & Nekkyu Koushien: Segaiden 76
🕑 Added 2025-03-05 12:27:12 +0000 UTCThis episode seemed as good a time as any to mark Japan's transition from the Showa era to the Heisei, a significant cultural shift that happened during the period of time that I've been exploring in the majority of my videos over the past few years. Not only do these games fall right along that dividing line, along with the console that powered them, but they also feel Showa in a way that things like Megumi Rescue or Super Racing didn't. It's hard to explain, especially as someone looking in from the outside, but this whole episode is just kind of a vibe.

while there was no new tensai bakabon anime in 1988, I know for a fact one of the anime adaptations was airing repeats on TV in 1988 since I have a few episodes on VHS tape with 1988 commercials (One for Meiji Chocolates based on Faxanadu even!)
