Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo/Episodes

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo is a Japanese anime directed by Hiroki Shibata, produced by Toei Animation and ran for 76 episodes from November 8, 2003 to October 29, 2005 on TV Asahi in Japan. The anime, licensed by Toei Animation, first aired as a sneak peek on Cartoon Network's Fridays block on September 30, 2005 and then aired on Cartoon Network's Toonami programming block from October 1, 2005 to October 13, 2007. The series was also shown on Toonami Jetstream from November 5, 2007 to June 30, 2008.

The anime is dubbed by Phuuz Entertainment Inc., in association with Cloverway Inc.. The dub was censored at some points in order to receive a lower TV-rating, allowing it to be broadcast to a younger audience demographic. Despite its limitations, the American dub of the anime manages to preserve the spirit of the show; the translators and adaptation writers were forced to rewrite several of the jokes due to the differences between the Japanese and English languages. At several points in the dub, the American version makes fun of the fact that it is a translation of a Japanese product (for example, when Bo-bobo is filling out an application card in episode two, he botches it because the application is in Japanese and he cannot read it, instead drawing "little doodles" for answers; in the original Japanese version he messes up the application for a completely different reason, and the "little doodles" are his honest answers written in hiragana). Additionally, with the exception of the opening credits, all other on-screen Japanese text is intentionally kept in the English dub (most likely as a part of the retaining the show's surreal humor).

The series was originally licensed for home video release in North America by Illumitoon Entertainment who released only 2 volumes on bilingual DVD in 2007 before their distribution deal with Westlake Entertainment fell through, and all further volumes were canceled. S'more Entertainment later announced on January 16, 2012 that they would be releasing the complete series to bilingual DVD in North America. On April 10, 2012 Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo: The Complete Series, Part 1 was released and on November 19, 2012 Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo: The Complete Series, Part 2 was released.
