It's a series commemorating 90th anniversary of Fujiko Fujio's birthday, a legendary mangaka whom many will recognize as the author of Doraemon. So why T.P. Bon was picked for that occasion instead of something more prominent? Your guess is as good as mine.
Time Patrol Bon is, unfortunately, not outstanding in any way. Pretty average, rather episodic, family-friendly plot is supported by basic characters and quite simple animation you probably wouldn't expect from Bones. I guess the historical trivia might be a hook for some, but that aspect is pretty run-of-the-mill as well. I suppose that explains why I didn't hear about the series until two months after its premiere despite being on the look out for stuff like this.
Easy recommedation if you're a fan of Fujiko Fujio, cautious one if you like series with retro vibes or light stories involving time travel, a definite pass if you're looking for something meaty with interesting ideas.
At the time of writing of this review (less than two weeks before the second half of the series would be released) there wasn't much buzz around T.P. Bon. I'll leave it up to you to decide whether it's because of series' mediocrity or Netflix's flawed model of releasing and promoting their anime OVAs.
