The original TV anime series Hakushon Daimaou was aired for 52 episodes (104 chapters) in Japan from October 1969 to September 1970 and has become one of the most popular series in the history of Tatsunoko.
Tatsunoko Production has announced that its classic comedy TV anime series Hakushon Daimaou / The Genie Family will return as a new anime titled Hakushon Daimaou 2020 in the spring of 2020.
While Genie in the original story appears by rubbing the lamp that he is in, Hakushon Daimaou in the bottle appears by its owner’s sneezing (Hakushon is Japanese onomatopoeia for sneeze).
