About Eternal Family

If you are hunting for a new comedy series, Eternal Family (永久家族) deserves a look (1997). The setup goes like this. At its core: It started as a sociological experiment. 6 different people were brainwashed to think that they were a family and then put in arbitrary situations to see how they would react.

More of the story: However, when a taping of the families conducts is sold in a desperate attempt to make a little capital it instantly becomes a success. Now the family is a first rated show and their every move is broadcasted around the world without them knowing it. When a clogged toilet sets off a chain of events that ultimately frees the family from the room they are confined in the broadcasters, not willing to lose their source of income.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Masashi Hirose as Ben and Yuuko Mizutani as Akiko. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. At 1 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
