Gan to Gon (partially found anime series; 1971)
Gan to Gon (ガンとゴン Gan & Gon) is a Japanese children's comedy anime series produced by Jiho Eigasha (who produced the notoriously difficult-to-find anime series, Hoshi no Ko Poron) and animated by Nihon Douga. It aired from December 1, 1971, to December 9, 1971, on Akita TV, for a total of 260 episodes, each around five minutes long.
Plot
Gan and Gon are a pair of oddballs on a worldwide search for treasure. Gan is an unsightly kind-hearted man of justice who loved adventure but was a bit scatterbrained. Gon only thinks about sleep but, when it comes down to it, he would come up with some really crazy ideas.
Status
While some episodes of Hoshi no Ko Poron have been found and uploaded online, no full copies of Gan to Gon episodes were known to exist. However, a copy of an episode of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger was found in the possession of a user named morikawa confirming that at least one episode still exists.
In June 2014, a 16mm master copy had been bought on Yahoo! Auctions Japan. During a Niconico stream on December 24, 2016, called "Hoshi no Ko Poron livestream", an episode titled "Protect the Oasis" was revealed.[1][2][3]
After that, 7 more episodes were found by another user and it was being uploaded every other Saturday until April 8, 2017.[4]
