Not too long ago, I decided to look for some interesting anime by going from url number to url number. Today's subject has the url number 305, so it was one of the first thousand added to this site.

This is such a classic XD it's known for its over-the-top characters and humorous take on the criminal lifestyle. Basically a parody of crime dramas. The series is characterized by its comedic tone and exaggerated character designs, typical of Go Nagai's work :D
The humor often stems from the absurd situations that the family finds themselves in and their interactions with other eccentric characters.
