'''''Hazedon''''' (''ハゼドン'', also known as ''Chief Joker'' in English) is a fantasy, comedy anime series that aired for the first time in the Japanese television channel Fuji TV in the 5th of October, 1972 until the 29th of March, 1973. It was the first show produced by Sunrise.
'''''Hazedon''''' (''ハゼドン'') is a comedy/adventure anime series, initially broadcast from October 5, 1972, to March 29, 1973, on Fuji Television. While the credit for "original creator", is listed as the company "Video Create", the series was the first production to be animated by anime studio Sunrise.


The story is about a goby fish named Hazedon, who travels the world with his best friends, Puyan, a blowfish, and Shiran, a mermaid.
==Story==
The series is about a young goby fish named Hazedon, whose mother, before her passing, imparts that he must become "the strongest fish in Japan." Heeding her advice, he embarks on a training journey. However, along the way he meets Shiran, a mermaid, and Puyan, a pufferfish. Each episode takes a semi-episodic structure, with recurring antagonists, as well as many incidental characters. The final episode sees the payoff to many of the series ongoing plot lines while ending on a cliffhanger.


==Structure==
==Structure==
The show is structured by one season of 26 episodes. Each episode has a runtime of 30 minutes, except the last episode, which has a runtime of 22 minutes.
The series has a total of 26 episodes. Each episode has a runtime of around 30 minutes, with each episode (except for the 26th episode) broken into two, 11-minute episodes. The final episode is the only exception, as it only contains one, double-length story.
 
Each episode also has a two-part structure, since one episode has two shorts. Again, the last episode is an exception, since it only has one short.

Hazedon (ハゼドン) is a comedy/adventure anime series, initially broadcast from October 5, 1972, to March 29, 1973, on Fuji Television. While the credit for "original creator", is listed as the company "Video Create", the series was the first production to be animated by anime studio Sunrise.

Story

The series is about a young goby fish named Hazedon, whose mother, before her passing, imparts that he must become "the strongest fish in Japan." Heeding her advice, he embarks on a training journey. However, along the way he meets Shiran, a mermaid, and Puyan, a pufferfish. Each episode takes a semi-episodic structure, with recurring antagonists, as well as many incidental characters. The final episode sees the payoff to many of the series ongoing plot lines while ending on a cliffhanger.

Structure

The series has a total of 26 episodes. Each episode has a runtime of around 30 minutes, with each episode (except for the 26th episode) broken into two, 11-minute episodes. The final episode is the only exception, as it only contains one, double-length story.
