they probably would have done better by making a full anime adaptation of the New Testament or something. But we all know that the Vatican isn't actually Christian enough to do that especially if it would make jews look bad or have Jesus saying bad things about jews
Superbook is an isekai. Over and over again.
I recently learned there was a revival of that show in 2011.
Learned about it the weirdest way--by looking up the dub actor for Mobile Suit Gundam's Ramba Ral.
Turns out it was a man named John Payne, and Superbook 2011 was his final voiceover role.
If you're talking about the CG one, there's also books of them. They're.... well, they're words and pictures on paper.
I feel like there's a "his work on Earth was done." joke or reference in there somewhere.
There's one MSG line of his that I wish had become a meme, especially lately.
"I hate politics. I'll be going back to space immediately."

The Vatican once commissioned Osamu Tezuka to make a series on the Bible to rival Pat Robertson's Superbook, but he died before completing the Old Testament. (The series was finished by Osamu Dezaki.) Unfortunately, him dying also obviously precluded making a New Testament continuation, the furthest they got with that was the final episode being about the birth of Jesus.
