History Trivia / BoboboboBobobo

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In a mild case of TroubledProduction, the Spanish voice for Bobobo was very tough to get right, to the point that Regino Ramos and Jaime Roca were forced to test four different voice tones before choosing the one that appeared on the final product. One has to wonder how could he have sounded in any other of the options.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The S'mores Entertainment box sets that housed the complete series have been out-of-print for some time (likely because of the above-mentioned lack of subtitles leading to poor sales) and they sell today for hundreds of dollars. [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil If you'd rather not look for the episodes through alternative means]] you can still buy the two single-disc Illumitoon releases of the first 8 episodes for dirt-cheap; if again, you don't mind a lack of subtitles and being forced to watch the show in English.

* ThrowItIn: According to Creator/JaimeRoca, many jokes of the Spanish dub were completely made up, some of them by sheer brainstorming. As seen in the result, it certainly paid off.

** In a case of TroubledProduction, the Spanish voice for Bobobo was very tough to get, to the point that Regino Ramos and Jaime Roca had to test four different voice tones before deciding for the one which sticked in the final product. One has to wonder how could have sounded any other of the options.
** The entire premise of ''Manga/BoboboboBobobo''. It takes place in the year 300X; an evil empire has taken over the Earth and is attempting to [[BaldOfEvil make everyone bald]]. The titular character, who can use his nose hairs as weapons, goes on a crusade to try to stop them. He's joined by several people, including someone with ice cream as their head, someone who uses their farts as weapons, and a walking, talking piece of jelly. Note that these are simply the characters; they're usually not treated as silly.
*** Although the English dub confirms that it takes place in the year [[Franchise/StarTrek 3001.5]].

* FanNickname: In certain circles of the fandom, Don Patch is usually called "Patchan", which is a shortening of Patch-chan.

* SleeperHit: Again in Spain, the series was brought without much fanfare, but it then basically exploded, and it and its dub are both considered masterpieces nowadays.

* HeyItsThatVoice:
** Creator/RichardEpcar and Creator/KirkThornton both did voices in the ''KingdomHearts'' games as villains.
** Not to mention Pana's Japanese voice actor, Creator/HiroshiTsuchida, who voices Tron.

** Not to mention Pana's Japanese voice actor, Creator/HiroshiTsuchida, who voices Tron. [[spoiler: Of course, as of [[{{VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance}} 2012]] (or if you want to be technical about the source material, [[Film/TronLegacy 2010]]), Tron could be considered a villain]].

* BadExportForYou: Initially, all that the American fanbase had gotten was a compiled book of the Halekulani story arc (Parts of volumes 9 and 10), and Creator/VizMedia has absolutely no plans to translate the first eight volumes ([[OrSoIHeard allegedly]], they couldn't because Yoshio Sawai was ashamed of the artwork. However, considering that most other countries that translated it got all 21 volumes, that may not have been the reason at all). They finally decided to translate it again, [[WhatAnIdiot in the middle of the Cyber City Arc]], some time after the anime went off American airwaves. Now it's stuck in limbo at volume 15. And given that it had a lukewarm reception, ''Shinsetsu Bobobo-bo Bobobo'', the sequel, was never exported.
