Rompa and Lun are two cute yellow aliens who interact with humans. Then there is Oyako Club, a story of aliens and humans interacting. It was sponsored by the office of the Prime Minister of Japan, and thus its content is meant to be educational, including lots of live-action footage to further illustrate Japanese culture. Hoka Hoka Kazoku is also a simple story about a Japanese family and their daily life. A semi-autobiographical series, Chibi Maruko-chan is simple, yet nostalgic, making it a hit among both children and adults. Chibi Maruko-chan is a slice-of-life shoujo manga adaptation that follows young Momoko Sakura, otherwise known as Maruko, and her life in suburban 1974 Japan. Most of these popular family sitcoms weren't as rowdy. Shin-chan's naughty humor made it a controversial hit in Japan. It did OK on Adult Swim, but not well enough to justify dubbing more than 78 episodes. It aired episodes out of order and took many liberties with the source material, adding in references to American pop culture icons like Jessica Simpson and discussing American politicians such as John McCain and Rudy Giuliani. Thus, FUNimation's dub took a different approach to the series. Shin-chan is filled with puns that would be difficult to translate directly into English. Airing since 1992 with 1,038 episodes and counting, Shin-Chan follows the life of five-year-old Shinnosuke "Shin" Nohara, his family, his friends and everyone else he encounters in Kasukabe.

The series is lost media, as only the intro to Kirin Ashita no Calendar and a couple of episodes of Kirin Monoshiri Yakatahave been found. The Kirin series follows a cat named Cathy that teaches kids about history in a stage play format. After switching sponsors from Meiji Seika to Kirin Beer, Instant History evolved into Otogi Manga Calendar, thus sparking several more Kirin-sponsored animations. Monoshiri Daigaku: Ashita no Calendar is a part of a long line of advertiser-funded programming, going as far back as the first TV anime Instant History.
Taking up three spots in the top 15 longest-running anime is the "Kirin Monoshiri" series, sponsored by Kirin Beer. Like Sekai Monoshiri Ryoko, a lot of older series were educational, and many were also ad-sponsored. As the name implies, the series was a collection of educational documentaries that depicted real places around the world.
At the 15th spot at 1,006 episodes is Sekai Monoshiri Ryoko or The Instructive Trip Around The World. Some of the longest anime series are also some of the oldest.
