Synopsis:
In the bustling district of Kojimachi, Tokyo, a clandestine organization known as Eagle Talon operates with ambitions far exceeding their resources. Their attempts at global influence are consistently undermined by Deluxe Fighter, a somewhat hapless but eternally optimistic protector. The series offers a lighthearted perspective on the everyday struggles of those operating within this unusual dynamic.
Deluxe Fighter’s persistent interventions disrupt Eagle Talon's meticulously planned schemes, leading to comical and often absurd situations. The narrative explores themes of responsibility, unintended consequences, and the delicate balance between ambition and reality. While not a high-stakes drama, the anime provides a consistently entertaining look at a world where ordinary individuals find themselves caught in extraordinary circumstances, all delivered with a uniquely comedic sensibility.

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