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 Neptune Studios to produce a quality fan series built around his and Narmak's ideas. 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. The story is currently being rewritten again under Neptune Studios. This anime is a sword anime inspired by Samurai Champloo. It is broadcast quite often at 9:00 p.m. on TV Tokyo.
Just like in Narmak's version, 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 minions, 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 as an Evil Patrick in a later arc. This show considered to be a lot more bloody and violent than most SpongeBob spin-offs. Fans accepted several episodes having a TV-14 rating. Each season contains 50 episodes.
Overarching Storyline (Manga)[]
The Manga has four different narrative levels. There are different branching series storylines going on at once inside this anime believe it or not. There are four narrative levels in each storylines that can be seen only with those with an IQ of 150+ SNOO PINGAS. Only the highest of high SpongeBob Gods know the true storyline by heart. Some say that they can see images in 5-D to see the story line unfold via time travel and "imagination."
FOUR NARRATIVE LEVELS A: The Cosmic Level (Gods) B: The Political Level (Governments) C: The Individual Level (Folks) D: The Spiritual Level (Ghosts)
The First set of volumes adapts episodes from Season 1 of Spongebob and focuses on the conflict between Squidward and SpongeBob as he is going to be recruited into the Chum Five. The Second set of volumes build on the early death of Patrick, acting as a motivator to get revenge on Squidward only to find out that Patrick has conducted various crimes of his own through an alter ego. Some theorize that his soul gets taken over by the ugly barnacle who is also the Hash Slinging Slasher at the same time. The Flying Dutchman also becomes a much larger villain in Season 2 due to the dead being a consistent theme in that season. The Second Set of anime and manga chapters are a rushed combination of Season 2 and 3 arcs, which is why certain arcs fell flat in comparison. Not to mention the countless filler episodes that aired in between the Krusty Fallout Arc and Forest Club Arc.
The Final set of volumes and episodes in the fan series adapts select arcs within the 3rd and 4th Seasons along with a series of well recieved fan sequel miniseries that diverge from the manga known as the EVIL trilogy (Seeds of EVIL, Regin of EVIL, and Triumph of EVIL). With each miniseries involves a different villain who is a reflection of what our protagonist will become in the final episode, a soulless pawn for a corporate entity that seeks to expand with ruthless power, and the third miniseries giving what fans wanted, a conclusion to the Hash Slinging Slasher arc resulting in the saddest ending in this anime, the death of SpongeBob's best friend and eliminating many foes including DoodleBob and the Abrasive Side who represent the darkness within SpongeBob's heart. The death of Patrick wraps SpongeBob into being a corrupt middleman for Mr. Krabs who no longer has Plankton being a foe or any political entity (Neptune and the Atlantean government) holding him back as he has become the dominant force in the ocean. The final season is a lot longer than the other two due to the fact it adapts both the second half of Spongebob's season 3 and "select" episodes from Season 4 along with bringing new pieces of lore that are unseen and do not need to be explained. Many didn't like the inclusion of Tibbett's role in the series however he famously wrote the "Gary Come Home" arc which was regarded as one of the most arcs even to this day. Eventually the final half of the Final Season adopts a weirder take on the movie, akin to Evangelion 3.33 and the End of Evangelion and its Evangelion type writing later inspires the fan miniseries set of sequels to be a mecha based. The role of the Hash-Slinging Slasher is seen throughout as he maintains an important figure within the series. At the time of writing, there is a total of 6 sagas each dealing with a different main antagonist.

Critical Reception (Wikia Fan Series)[]
This is just sloppy writing!!!!! It was already proven that Gary's body is unique and the snail virus built up a immunity to Squirdward's attack. If anything Patrick is the one who should have died. Not only is he closer to spongebob, but the best friends 4 ever and Valentine's arc cement him as one of the best support characters in years. Quitting this anime. It was good in the beginning, but the author is such a sell out. Ever since the pioneers arc the series has been on a decline. I mean the hash slinging slasher mystery murder episode was good, but it only did so much. - SIRTreehugger
They probably should have stopped after the Squid Society Arc, Patrick was best girl and my favorite easily. But of course the anime always have to shit all over childhood friends and make the generic "first girl you see" win because they don't know how to write compelling romances. And then you have the terrible fucking power asspulls, Spongebob only had basic karate training and it was shown Sandy Uchiha was clearly stronger; how the FUCK did Spongebob beat metal Mr. Krabs, who beat Sandy, by pulling out a stupid Magic Circle that protects him from anything that was NEVER previously revealed? Such a shitty asspull and recently the anime as been filled with them. I might as well finish it though, I've been following it since the Chum Exams, which is easily one of the best shounen arcs of all time. Plus I'm too attached to these characters to stop now, might as well see who ends up as a couple. - Jazzidoo
it's slightly triggering when there are these memes that are copying manga style but then they fail the most basic thing. - Mommid
God, the writing in this has become Jimmy Neutron level bad. How dare they not explain how Spongebob's new power works in the very same chapter it's introduced in? That can only mean they never will explain how it works, and this series is doomed to end the same way Jimmy Neutron did. You all remember, Jimmy gets a new power up, defeats evil jimmy, timeskip where he gets together with Cindy, all rushed to shit. I can only expect the same to happen with Spongebob. This series has hit rock bottom. - DrewBreakman
The "Gary Come Home" arc in Season 3, is easily one of the best written arcs in all of shounen. - S-ClassRen

Trivia/Goofs[]
- This series has a rating of 6.8 on tv.com and 6.1 on IMDB.
- The previous version of the fan series had an ambitious plan to unite the story Narmak had wrote with the scrapped movie plot of the third SpongeBob film where in the old draft the evil alien cat people along with other powerful groups are seen as the true creators of Plan Z in an attempt to bring regime change to Bikini Bottom. The full version would be uploaded to a gaint text file, trust me the old storyline was a laughable mess, you would get a kick out of it.
- The new storyline takes out many of the questionable elements that EVIL Productions attempted to write in. EVIL and Atlantis War Arcs are still in the storyline but their implementation will be far better done.
- In the manga, Flats is fought as well before the Shell City Arc.
- The previous versions of episodes 2-4 were deemed uncanon due to production companies being switched.
