Time Patrol Bon is based on the science fiction manga by Fujiko Fujio, a duo composed of mangakas Hiroshi Fujimoto (Fujiko Fujio A) and Motoo Abiko (Fujiko F. Fujio). The manga was released in three parts from 1978 to 1986 under the Comic Tom imprint. The manga follows the story of an ordinary boy who becomes an apprentice member of the futuristic organization “T.P.” (Time Patrol), which secretly saves people who have suffered unfortunate deaths from all over the world and across all eras of time.
This is the first Time Patrol Bon anime adaptation series. An animated special aired in 1989 and was animated by studio Gallop, known for their works on titles such as the original 1996 Rurouni Kenshin series, Initial D First Stage, and several Yu☆Gi☆Oh! titles, among others. The new anime adaptation announcement was made on the 90th anniversary of Fujiko F. Fujio’s birth.
