T・P Bon

One of the aspects I adore most about the anime series T. P. Bon on Netflix is its reminiscent charm of Doraemon. From the artistic style to the characters and settings, it evokes that nostalgic sense, albeit with a unique twist on time traveling.

T. P. Bon is a captivating tale about Bon, a regular high school student who unexpectedly gets entangled in a time-travel dilemma, eventually becoming a time patrol agent alongside Ream and Buyoyon. Together, they journey through history to save people from the past.

Although T. P. Bon adopts a classic Doraemon approach with each episode presenting a standalone story, there's a cohesive thread that connects the entire series. Paying attention to the details really pays off, adding depth to the viewer's experience.

However, it's disappointing how Bon's friends are sidelined in the narrative, unlike Doraemon's iconic friends like Giant, Shizuka, and Suneo. The focus shifts primarily to his time patrol colleagues like Ream and Buyoyon from the future, leaving little room for his original friends.

The series is generally a comforting watch for children, yet there are moments when it seems to skew away from a typical kid's show, aligning more with its 16+ rating.

For those who, like me, miss those childhood moments of watching Doraemon every Sunday morning, T. P. Bon will resonate with you, as it targets audiences who cherish those memories.
