Nobody talks about this one. A 1985 comedy that treats its flying-school future not as world-building exposition but as the setup for genuinely weird humor, where the joke is that everyone's casually airborne and nobody cares. The show moves like its characters do, fast, loose, bouncing between gags without pretending any of this needs serious explanation. It's the kind of mid-80s sci-fi comedy that got buried because it wasn't trying to be important, just funny in a way that required you to accept the absurd premise and move on.

Konpora Kid is a comedic science fiction TV series set in the Mechatronics Era, a period in Tokyo's future. Schools no longer stand on the ground but hover over the city at an altitude of roughly two to three thousand metres. Every person carries a flight mechanism inside them, so people move freely through the air, and getting from place to place has become easy as a result.
