'''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. |
