'''The SpongeBob SquarePants Anime''', simply referred to as '''SpongeBob SquarePants ''' (Japanese: スポンジ・ボブ Hepburn: Suponji Bobu, pronounced Spongey Bobbu) is an ongoing Japanese anime television series produced by Narmak Animation that began airing on April 5, 1999. Its overall plot outline is loosely based around the manga and anime created by Narmak and is considered to be a what if scenario of what would happen if SpongeBob was a Japanese anime. But unlike Narmak's script, this story is less light hearted outside of the very beginning and is more of a very light Final Fantasy crossover that can be seen as a homage to 90s era Squaresoft titles. Like a Squaresoft RPG, the storyline is expected to be as convoluted and contrived as Kingdom Hearts, Xenogears, or Chrono Cross. Many tropes from various shounen anime or Squaresoft games are parodied in this show, but the main inspirations are Naruto, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Avengers: Infinity War, Half-Life, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Many of the episodes or arcs are named after episodes within the first three seasons of the show outside of a few exceptions. Some episodes are near faithful recreations of their American counterparts while others are vastly different. One of the many changes is this show's setting which was made to be more like modern day Japan. It is broadcast at 9:00 p.m. on TV Tokyo.

The anime centers around protagonist SpongeBob SquarePants as he tries to save his best friend Squidward Tentacles from the clutches of Sheldon Plankton and his army of robots or other minions earlier and later on in the anime, but everything goes haywire and soon SpongeBob must choose to save Squidward along with his other friends. At some point SpongeBob's best friend Patrick dies in combat, but later comes back alive in a later arc. This show considered to be a lot more bloody and violent than most ''SpongeBob'' spin-offs, but still family friendly for the most part. Some fans accepted some episodes having a TV-14 rating. Each season contains 50 episodes.

Trivia/Goofs

  • This show has an average 9.1 rating on tv.com and a 8.7 rating on IMDB.
  • E.V.I.L. is very different from its orginal counterpart in the orginal series. E.V.I.L. in this story existed from the beginning of time containing bases in multiple planets in different time periods as opposed to being a small short lived gang ran by Barnacle Man. This version of E.V.I.L. was made to be more like the Combine from Half-Life. Barnacle Man however is still the owner of the Bikini Bottom varient of E.V.I.L. in the ZII arcs, but the real creators of E.V.I.L. in this story is a combination of Planktonamor, Lord Purr Maximus, and S-O-U-R-M-O-U-T-H whose soul is merged with Planktonamor to extend his life.
  • Despite sharing the same name, this anime is not affiliated with Narmak's anime in any shape or form.
  • In the planned story line there were only two villain gangs, Every Villain is Lemons and Every Villain is Limes. There is now three, Every Villain is Limes fought in Season 3, Every Villain is Lemons fought in the first ZII season, and The Corrupted IJLSA led by an evil Crimson Chin clone with LRH funding their group fought in the second ZII season.
  • The Z arc and Season 3's storylines were merged into one story
  • This show takes place in the far future, even further in the timeline than SpongeHenge and SB-129. In the series lore, all of the orginal characters outside of divine beings who are immortal have died from some kind of third impact style apocalyptic event.
  • Various well liked arcs in Season 4 such as the Gary Come Home Arc were moved to the first three seasons due to the fan's demand.
  • The Hash Slingling Slasher is the main antagonist. In some of the early storylines, he was working along side Plankton and then Every Villain is Lemons. In the current draft, he is a lone swordsmen in order to make his character closer to Sephiroth.
