About Sazae-san

If you are hunting for a new comedy series, Sazae-san (サザエさん) deserves a look (1969). The setup goes like this. In short: The main character is a mother named Sazae-san. She lives in a house with her husband, her kid, her siblings and her parents.

From there, the show is the ultimate family program and tends to follow traditional themes. Think of this show as the Japanese equivalent to "The Partridge Family" and you'll get a good feel for this show's atmosphere. Don't expect to see things like violence, swearing, kung-fu action or magical girls.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Norio Wakamoto as Anago and Midori Katou as Sazae Fuguta. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 2857 episodes so far, there is enough room for the story to develop.
