Is The Frogman Show Finished?#
If you are looking for a definitive “The End,” you won’t find it here. While The Frogman Show (also known as Kaeruotoko Gekijō) originally aired from April to June 2006, it served as the catalyst for a massive, sprawling franchise.
The series has evolved into the Eagle Talon (Himitsu Kessha Taka no Tsume) saga, which continues to expand decades later. In fact, the franchise is very much alive, with Eagle Talon XX scheduled to release as a new net anime on January 6, 2026. Because of this continuous stream of sequels, spinoffs, and related works, you can keep watching new content for years to come.

The Release Order#
For those who want to experience the evolution of the humor and animation as the world did, follow the release dates. This begins with The Frogman Show (2006), moves through the Himitsu Kessha Taka no Tsume movies and series of the late 2000s and early 2010s, and leads up to Eagle Talon: Golden Spell (2020) and the upcoming Eagle Talon XX (2026).
The Completionist Order#
If you want every single piece of the puzzle, you must follow the sequel and spinoff chains.
- Start with The Frogman Show.
- Move through the direct sequels: The Chancellor Only Lives Twice, followed by the subsequent Taka no Tsume movies (II, 3, and 4).
- Explore the related and sequel series: Countdown, Neo, MAX, EX, DO, and GT.
- Dive into the spinoffs and alternate retellings, such as Ashita no Jobūbu, Taka no Tsume 7 and 8, and the Yoshida Katsuko series.
- Finish with the modern era: Eagle Talon: Golden Spell and Eagle Talon XX.
The Casual Order#
For those who don’t mind skipping some of the deeper lore or continuing with other source materials, we suggest focusing on the main Eagle Talon branded titles and the high-profile movies like DC Super Heroes vs. Eagle Talon.
Regardless of the path you choose, you can watch the anime on Prime Video to start your journey into this comedic whirlwind.
Final Thoughts#
The Frogman Show is less of a single story and more of a comedic universe. While the original show is finished, the Eagle Talon experience is an ongoing journey. If you enjoy comedy that doesn’t follow a traditional path, this is a commitment well worth making.
