Tarabaman
A long-running metaseries of costumed heroes with king crab-inspired aesthetics fighting fantastic alien or monstrous foes. The first series, Taraba Q, was released in 0044; its pilot episode featured scientists learning about a mysterious king crab from outer space. Subsequent episodes covered alien invasions, out-of-place artifacts, and supernatural abilities, often with vague allusions to the nature of the first episode's alien crab.
Tarabaman has undergone several reboots and reimaginings; the second series, Tarabaman, is better-known worldwide and set the tone for things that followed.
While at its most popular in Japan, Tarabaman is loved worldwide -- a fact that has come into sharp relief after the Britannian invasion of Japan. Tarabaman has 'forked,' at this point. While production has continued in Free Japan, a high-gloss action movie titled simply Tarabaman: First Generation has entered production at Hi-TV's Area 11 branch, expected to release in 0099.
