NTV announced in March that it will air a third television special based on Fujio Akatsuka’s classic comedy manga Tensai Bakabon.
The manga inspired four television anime series between 1971 and 2000, as well as a full-length anime film in 2015 titled Tensai Bakavon ~Yomigaeru Flanders no Inu~.
The special is titled Tensai Bakabon 3, and it will air as part of NHK’s “Golden Learning Week” campaign, which will take place between April 30 and May 6.
NTV aired the first live-action special, Tensai Bakabon ~ Kazoku no Kizuna (Bonds of Family), in March 2016.
