Flying House, full title: Time Classroom, Adventures of The Flying House, is a children's anime series produced by Tatsunoko Production with animation assistance by Studio Korumi, under directors Masakazu Higuchi and Mineo Fuji, and aired on the TV Tokyo networknote Which at the time consisted of only two stations, TV Tokyo and TV Osaka and other local stations across Japan. Originally airing from April 5, 1982, to March 28, 1983, the series culminates in 52 episodes. The series is part two of Tatsunoko's Bible trilogy, along with series one and two of Superbook. Like its sister show, it was also distributed in the United States by the Christian Broadcasting Network, airing both in syndication and on the old CBN Cable Network (now Freeform). All episodes are airing on TBN and its sister network Smile of a Child, and are available online at the Christian Broadcasting Network site.The story of the anime consists of three young children—Justin Casey (Gen Adachi in Japanese), Angela Roberts (Kanna Natsuyama), and her younger brother Corky Roberts (Tsukubo), who discover what they believe to be an abandoned house in the middle of the woods while playing hide-and-seek. Inside, they soon discover SIR (Kandenchin)—a friendly little robot, and Professor Humphrey Bumble (Tokio Taimu)—an eccentric professor who had recently perfected a time machine. Using the time machine, the group go back through time, experiencing and reliving the past. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
Flying House / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: As opposed to the first Superbook series in which each episode hit only the high points of each story, the writers of Flying House expanded a number of the Biblical tales into full-blown storylines, adding details not present in the original stories. For example, in the story of the fishes and loaves, the boy whose food fed five thousand is running away from his grandfather's farm to the city, where he hopes to make a better life for himself. | |

Flying House / int_2711e392 | comment |
The Complainer Is Always Wrong: Subverted with Judas in one episode when he complains about the other apostles wasting resources. By the end of the episode, the others recognize that his concerns have merit; he is recognized as a valuable asset to the Apostles, and their fellowship is reaffirmed. | |

Flying House / int_5fcedca | comment |
Big Eater: Justin, Corky and Prof. Taimu/Bumble. Granted, they have time-traveled to the time of Jesus, making it near-impossible for them and Angie to find an abundance of food with little local money and hold it for very long, leaving them nearly famished on a weekly basis. It's still no excuse for them to gobble up everything on their plate so quickly. | |

Non-Appearing Title: Aside from the commercial bumpers (retained in at least one episode), the title doesn't appear anywhere on-screen in either the opening or ending sequence in the current broadcast masters of the English version (although the name is part of the lyrics of the dub's theme song). | |

Meaningful Name | |
Flying House / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Prof. Taimu/Bumble in both versions. "Taimu" is a Japanese rendering of the English word "time", referring to his time traveling invention. In fact, his name in Japanese is, essentially, "Dr. Tokyo Time." "Bumble" is self-explanatory. | |

Bait-and-Switch Credits | |
Flying House / int_c76b215e | comment |
Bait-and-Switch Credits: The original Japanese OP depicts flags of many nations (along with a cute, funny dance by the kids, SIR and Bumble), and no Biblical content, possibly leading the viewer to assume that the titular "flying house" visits all of those nations. There's nothing to clue in the unsuspecting viewer to the show's Christian themes. Compare to the first Superbook series, whose Japanese OP consisted of an animated version of the Creation with theme song lyrics to match. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
Flying House / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: That time Jesus and his disciples walk past the flying house. None of them take notice of the strange looking house or the half-naked man sunbathing on the roof. Or the robot. In fact, this happens every time the house crash-lands. Almost no one ever seems to notice it much or comment about how different (ie: huge) it looks compared to their own houses. And, again, the robot. | |
