Yatterman Night is a Japanese anime series from 2015 that aired on FUNimation. The show is a spin-off of the classic Yatterman series from the late 1970s created by Tatsuo Yoshida. The shor stars Yoshiko Ohta, Mari Okamoto, Reiko Katsura, Noriko Ohara, Jouji Yanami, Tatekabe Kazuya, Junpei Takiguchi, and Kei Tomiyama.

Yatterman Night takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where the Yatterman Kingdom rules over the divided and oppressed people. To the people, the Yatterman Kingdom is a beacon of hope, providing them with assistance and protection from the ever-present threat of the Doronbow Gang, a group of villains who terrorize the people under the guise of providing them with freedom.

The plot of Yatterman Night follows the granddaughter of the legendary Yatterman duo. Her grandfather was the hero Yatterman-1, and her grandmother was the heroine Yatterman-2. They were known throughout the world for their heroism and bravery, and their granddaughter aims to follow in their footsteps. She sets out to defeat the Yatterman Kingdom, believing that they are corrupt and oppressive rulers who have lost their way and betrayed the people they were meant to protect.

The show starts with the revelation that the Yatterman Kingdom is not the benevolent rulers they claim to be but are instead a power-hungry and ruthless dictatorship. The Yatterman family has turned their back on the people and is using their advanced technology and resources to keep the people under their control. This revelation turns the protagonist's world upside down and drives her to take up the mantle of the Doronbow Gang and fight against the Yatterman Kingdom.

The show's themes focus on oppression, revolution, and the struggle of the common people against those who wield the power. It highlights the theme of remembrance, where the protagonist carries the memories of her parents, who were executed by the Yatterman Kingdom. Her memories of them are vital to her mission as she draws strength and inspiration from them.

The art style of Yatterman Night is bright and colorful, with eye-catching designs for the characters, mecha, and world. The character designs are reminiscent of the classic shonen manga of the 1970s, which adds to the show's nostalgia factor. The animation is fluid and dynamic, and the action scenes are well-composed and exciting to watch.

The characters in Yatterman Night are well developed and multi-dimensional. The protagonists are a part of the Doronbow Gang, a group of villains who aim to overthrow the Yatterman Kingdom. Each member of the group has a distinct personality, and each has their reasons for being a part of the group. They are not just two-dimensional villains but are instead fully realized characters who are relatable and sympathetic.

The voice acting in Yatterman Night is excellent, with the entire cast delivering their lines lightheartedly but with a depth of emotion that shows their commitment to their roles. The soundtrack is also well done, with a mix of serious and whimsical music that matches the show's tone.

Overall, Yatterman Night is a great anime series that builds on the themes and world introduced in the original Yatterman series. It is a modern take on the classic series that feels fresh and relevant, and it delves into complex themes that elevate the show beyond a simple action-adventure. The animation, voice acting, and music are all top-notch, and the characters are well developed and likable. If you are a fan of classic shonen manga or just anime in general, Yatterman Night is an excellent series to watch.

Yatterman Night is a series that ran for 1 seasons (12 episodes) between January 11, 2015 and on FUNimation
