Time Bokan 24

is a Japanese anime series that is a re-imagining of the original ''Time Bokan'' series that debuted on October 1, 2016, featuring a team of time travelers in search for the "True History" that is not written in the textbooks. It is a co-production of Tatsunoko Production & Level-5. This series is also legally streamed by Crunchyroll in certain worldwide areas. A second season titled was announced and it started airing in October 2017. In late 2019, an English dub began airing on the Filipino and Southeast Asian Cartoon Network channels. The dub made edits such as making Calen's skirt more opaque and modest. The same edits are also applied to the Korean dub.

Plot

Tokio is a junior high student living in the present time who is recruited to be a member of the 24th century's Space-Time Administration Bureau. Together with his partner Calen, their mission is to uncover the "True History", the part of history that the textbooks don't tell.
