In preparation for the first broadcast of the third season coming up on October 12 (Mon.), we present "6 Things You Need to Know to Enjoy Osomatsu-san", a look back at the first and second seasons of the series!

We hope you will look back on the series before the broadcast and look forward to the broadcast of the third season.

(1) Commemorating the 80th anniversary of Fujio Akatsuka's birth

To begin with, "Osomatsu-san" (1st season) was a TV anime that was broadcast in 2015 as a "work commemorating the 80th anniversary of Fujio Akatsuka's birth. The six children of the Matsuno family (Osomatsu, Karamatsu, Choromatsu, Ichimatsu, Jyushimatsu, and Todomatsu) from Fujio Akatsuka's classic gag manga "Osomatsu-kun" have grown up in "Osomatsu-san," which has a slapstick plot that makes you laugh without restraint, a parade of surreal gags, and a worldview that makes you want to read deeper. While inheriting the "Akatsuka-isms" of the series, the modern characterization and freewheeling storyline were the talk of the town immediately after the series began airing.

(2) The hit work that became a social phenomenon is back again!

The slapstick antics of the NEET six children and other characters familiar to viewers of "Osomatsu-kun" have entertained viewers with developments that have always gone far beyond their expectations. The TV series (first and second seasons) sold more than 630,000 Blu-ray and DVD copies, and the movie version, "Eiga no Osomatsu-san," drew more than 500,000 viewers. Will the sequel, the third season, also rewrite their legend?

(3) Each of the six children has a strong "personality!

In the original "Osomatsu-kun," the six children had the exact same face, build, hair style, and clothes, and there were many episodes in which they played pranks on each other by taking advantage of the fact that they were all the same. In "Osomatsu-kun," the adult version of "Osomatsu-san," all the characters are "NEETs and virgins," but their individual characteristics are expressed in the way they dress and their facial expressions, which, combined with their image colors, makes it easier to recognize each of them as an individual. This is why the clash of personalities between the siblings, which was not seen in the original work, is the charm of "Osomatsu-san!　The six siblings who have swung in the wrong direction stir up the story.

No.4 The story is more than just laughs.

Shu Matsubara has composed and written the scripts for "Osomatsu-san" throughout the series. The scenario, written by a "professional comedian" who has worked on variety shows and comedy programs, brings out the best in each character. The script is written by a "professional comedy writer" who has worked on variety shows and comedy programs, and brings out the charm of each character to the fullest. He is so trusted by the cast. The cast members also trust him. The storyline is all-around enjoyable, from surreal and black gags to tear-jerking episodes and heartwarming episodes, and can be considered the greatest highlight of "Osomatsu-san.

(5) The six children are played by a splendid cast of voice actors!

The six children are brought to life by a cast of star-studded voice actors including Takahiro Sakurai, Yuichi Nakamura, Hiroshi Kamiya, Jun Fukuyama, Daisuke Ono, and Miyu Irino. At the script stage, they were skeptical, asking themselves, "Is this really going to be fun? But when they actually tried it out on the recording studio floor, they found it to be outstandingly fun. The cast members are always at the forefront of their field, and their outstanding skills bring out the fun of each of the six children, and when they interact with each other, it makes them even funnier, which is the very essence of "Osomatsu-san.

No.6 What is the unprecedented new development coming in the third season?

Expectations are high for the third season. This time, an unprecedented new development awaits us! The only clues we have are the main visual and the PV. The six children are still as scruffy as ever, wearing their new stadium jackets in their own style, but saying that "the third season has been dragged out too long" and "there are no expectations at all". The familiar characters such as Totoko, Iyami, Chibita, Dekapan, Dayon, Hatabo, Matsuzou, and Matsudai are all here. ......?　What is this twin-like character? 　Do they hold the key to the new development?　Are they even human?
