About Mr. Osomatsu

Looking for background on Mr. Osomatsu (おそ松さん)? This comedy and slice of life series by Studio Pierrot (2015) starts out like this. At its core: The Matsuno sextuplets (leader Osomatsu, wannabe tough guy Karamatsu, straight man Choromatsu, cynical Ichimatsu, cheerfully stupid Jyushimatsu and lovable spoiled Todomatsu) are now in their 20s. Their neighbors still include such eccentric characters as fish market idol Totoko, loud bucktoothed troublemaker Iyami, tiny rival Chiba, wacky inventor Dekapan, and giant mouthed glutton Dayon.

Next up: Join the Matsuno siblings as they overcome mundane hurdles in their daily lives, such as finding employment, figure out who should pay the bar bill, and who should get the extra pastry!

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Daisuke Ono as Jyushimatsu Matsuno and Jun Fukuyama as Ichimatsu Matsuno. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. The run is 25 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
