Get Ready for THE AQUABATS! SUPER SHOW! Super Marathon This Weekend

Back in 1994, a weird ska band by the name of The Aquabats! was formed. They’re a very interesting group to watch and listen to. Well, in 2012, they launched The Aquabats! Super Show! which ran for 21 episodes. This weekend, fans are in for a treat as the entire series will be aired as part of a marathon on Shout! Factory TV. The Aquabats will also be hanging out with fans during the event to share trivia and tidbits. Plus, fans can get a look at props from the show.

Based on the superhero mythology of The Aquabats!, a real comedy rock band which series co-creator and lead singer Jacobs formed in 1994, The Aquabats! Super Show! follows the comic adventures of a fictionalized version of the band, a musical group of amateur superheroes, as they haphazardly defend the world from a variety of villains and monsters. Styled similarly to the campy aesthetics of 1960s and 1970s children’s television and Japanese tokusatsu, The Aquabats! Super Show! utilizes various mediums of visual styles and special effects, mixing live-action storylines with cartoon shorts, parody advertisements and musical interludes.

You can watch The Aquabats! Super Show! Super Marathon over on Shout! Factory starting at 9 AM PT on December 5 and runs all day.
