[Anime]Yoru no Yatterman

A long time ago, the Yattermen were heroes of justice who fought against the evil Doronbo Gang, exiling them and bringing peace to the Yatter Kingdom. Several generations later, however, the Yattermen have since become corrupt with power while everyone else has been forced to live in poverty and despair. After losing her mother to the Yattermen's selfishness, Leopard, a direct descendant of the gang's leader Doronji, reforms the Doronbo Gang with Boyacky and Tonzura's descendents, Voltkatze and Elephantus, to rebel against the corrupt Yattermen.

I anticipated this anime and wasn't disappointed by the first ep. So far, has my favorite first episode of the season.

Yatterman has also been my favorite episode of the new season so far. I suspect it will be my AotS.

I'll consider picking this up after I watch the original Yatterman. Don't want to miss any potential references and what not.

Also, is it true that the first episode was rather serious for the most part, but the ending completely goes loony and "ruins" it (heard that was the case from another user)?
