Today is the second one of my Dechonpa Anime Watches.
The Dechonpa watch range of watches were released by Bandai in the 1980s and through into the early 90s, and we're released in two types (SD Dechonpa, and Dechonpa Anime Watch). I'd thought that the simpler SD watches came first, but this is my second Anime watch based on a series that aired in 1982.
This one is based on the Anime series Tonde Mon Pe. The anime was from TMS Entertainment which is one of the oldest and most prominent anime studios in Japan (founded in 1946). Tonde Mon Pe came was aired from June 1982 and followed the story of a 15 year old country girl called Mon-Mon who becomes an au-pair for a rising fashion designer (Mrs Kano), and her psychic baby Pe-Pe (who makes toys and animals do odd things).
The watch features the baby Pe-Pe and her toys/pets (-this is a deduction though, as there is very little on the anime online).
As with the other Anime Watch, there is a large LCD display (under the lid) with time in one corner and a picture which fills as the minute progresses. The picture appears to be of Mon-Mon and Pe-Pe with the same two characters with Pe-Pe on the watches lid. Around the display are Mrs Kano and her writer husband (and some ducks). The time part of the LCD is simple with just time, date, and seconds.
Whays the cost
