It is about a short, perverted middle-school boy named Ranpou who goes on crazy misadventures with Chutaro, a talking mouse genius who invents things for the two to mess around with.<ref>[http://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/rampoo-the-flying-warped-boy-1984/ Cartoon Research blog about ''Ranpou''.] Retrieved 21 Feb '17.</ref> An anime series adaptation of '''Ranpou''' aired from April 5th, 1984 to September 27th, 1984 on Fuji TV, for a total of 21 episodes. The production started at Tsuchida Productions and was originally planned to be aired on TV Tokyo in 1983, but it was cancelled due to the change of the organization policy on TV Tokyo's side. ''Captain Tsubasa'' instead replaced ''Ranpou'' and broadcast on TV Tokyo. The production resumed after changing the broadcast station to Fuji TV. The show allegedly received bad ratings because it was airing against a baseball game in some areas. Due to the meagre ratings, the last episode was wired on a few stations. ==Availability== A collectors' edition DVD-Set of all 21 episodes of the Ranpou anime is set to release on December 24th, 2021, through TC Entertainment and Best Field in Japan.
