Cool Bentoons

Bentoons Forever aka Bentoons Adventure (UK version) (Japanese:マラキツロフォーエバー Hepburn: Marakitsurofōebā), abbreviated from the Japanese title of Cool Bentoons (Japanese:クールマラ Hepburn:Kūrumara) is a Japanese-Canadian-American anime television series created by Toei Animation and Ben's Animation Japan and based on the Bentoons series.

The show's American localization and broadcasting were handled by 4Kids Entertainment—which heavily edited the content and created new music—until 2014, when Discotek Media obtained the rights to the series, and later in 2016 by Viz Media dub. It is the Bentoons.

Bentoons Forever received mixed reviews from critics. Generally, writers criticized its American localization and some of the characters, while being more generous toward its story and aesthetics. The series was very popular in the United States, though less so in its native Japan. The show's merchandise included an edutainment video game for the PS1 & Dreamcast, a trading card game, a comic book series featuring an original storyline, and various toys and other items. The phrase "Show's Bentoons", the title of the show's North American theme song, survived as a Ben catchphrase for over a decade after the show's initial release.

After the end of the series, many of the anime's staff moved on to Cool Bentoons, including director Junichi Sato and music composer Takanori Arisawa. Many references to Sailor Moon Sailor Stars are made in Cool Bentoon Season 1.

The Japanese uncut episodes only on in France.
