Reborn! (season 1)
The first season of the Reborn! anime series is a compilation of the first thirty-three episodes from the series, which first aired in Japan from October 7, 2006 to May 26, 2007 on TV Tokyo.[1][2] Titled as Katekyō Hitman Reborn! in Japan, the Japanese television series was directed by Kenichi Imaizumi, and produced and animated by Artland. The plot, based on the Reborn! manga by Akira Amano, centers around the life of Tsunayoshi "Tsuna" Sawada, a timid boy who learns he is the great-great-great grandson of the founder of the Italian Vongola mafia family. Tsuna, who is the only living heir, must learn to become a proper Mafia boss and is required to undergo training from the Vongola's number one hitman, an infant named Reborn.[3]
