The 54 episode Perman- split into 108 segments- from studio TMS is based on the manga by the Fujiko Fujio duo. The series was released in 2024 on BluRay in Japan, although the audio for a handful of segments is lost or heavily damaged.
The idea of an alien giving his powerful technology to a random child so they can be a local superhero is one of those premises that understandably appeal to children. As an adult, this man really just gave some kid who happened to find him in a field wild abilities. Our protagonist does immediately drop a bully child from a high height with his flight, and I have to forcibly remind myself this is a silly comedy show for children. The monkey helps remind me of this.
Descriptions of later elements sound like the series has a few more elements, like the robotic duplicate of Mitsuo coming to resent him, and additional heroes with their own stories, though comedy will always be the driving element. I did enjoy local zoo animals escaping due to problems with the robot duplicate. It's also interesting that at no point does the series change to color.
A children's comedy about a superman-like may appeal to Shazam fans, and certainly Fujio fans will enjoy the humor.
