Himitsukessha Taka no Tsume

I do not remember how I stumbled upon this classic, but I do remember fucking around on YouTube and being compelled by such a beautiful art style, and the yellow subs at the bottom of the thumbnail meant I could enjoy whatever the fuck this was in full-joy.

Taka no Tsume, AKA Eagle Talon is something of a hit in Japan. It has numerous advertising tie-ins, and even as recent as this post, a theatrical movie starring the Justice League with a budget of 1,000,000(or maybe it was less than that) USD funded by a Yahoo Auction charity.

The plot of this is as simple as a team of super-evil masterminds want to take over the world from their apartment complex. Unfortunately, that does not go well for them as their efforts are thwarted by the middle-aged super hero, Deluxe Bomber.
The cast consists of Hitler, an AGP, the nutty professor, a child prodigy, and Phillip. Everything is done by the animator, Frogman, who voices the characters, does the music, all the animating, etc. I think in total, the series had a budget of about 1 USD. That's changed as Eagle Talon became more of a hit, as the voices are slightly different and the animation has gotten...better?

If you like such classics such as Aqua Teen Hunger Force, this anime is for you. It's pretty much the Japanese equivalent.
