Landon (Television series)

Landon is a Japanese-American adult television series created by Sherman Clark & Naoko Takeguchi (creator of Sailor Moon). This series had been airing frequently since 1991, and has no signs of slowing down & is the flagship series of the whole company (the logo even has the corporate logo). The series was animated by Toei Animation since the 1st season. Multiple Korean studios have animated for the series, in which Rough Draft returned to animate the series starting with Season 20. This show was notable for "franchise merging" which means taking a franchise & taking it's story & operations into another franchise. Sailor Moon had it in '91 & Dragon Ball did in 2019. (It's fanmade, so take it with a grain of salt). Some of the writers would go on to write for Family Guy, South Park, SpongeBob Squarepants & ToddWorld. In fact, most of the sounds & background music would be utilized for ToddWorld later on, further proving that this show has some of the same crew members as that show.

Controversies
The show is no stranger to controversy. In the start, the show was banned by Persian officials in Iran & Afghanistan (even though they received the show well). But during 2010, the ban was lifted & it aired on MBC Persia since then. A controversy is the show's usage of a polyamorous relationship in Season 9, people from the US didn't really react well & the episode was pulled, until it was more accepted. Monica Rial was set to replace Tiffany Volmer (which was something Sherman didn't want to do), since the people in charge of voice casting overheard Sherman bad-mouthing Monica, the role automatically went to Erica Mendez (it makes sense since the main character in real life is dating Bulma (Erica Mendez). Franchise merging is another controversy the show was involved with since people would assume that it's the end of the franchise. The franchises that were merged weren't over, they would just be spin-offs off the original "Landon" continuity (as seen by Sailor Moon Diamond & Dragon Ball Ultimate). Totally Spies had been rumored to be merged, but the rumors have been debunked since the show's reboot has been announced by Toei.
