Mr. Osomatsu

Mr. Osomatsu follows the Matsuno sextuplets now grown into their twenties, still orbiting each other with chaotic energy and typically finding trouble in even ordinary days. The brothers, all named Matsuno, drift through a mix of oddball schemes, chance encounters and social satire as they stumble through jobs, dating, and the daily grind. Set in the present, the series preserves the gag manga spark while stacking quick quips and visual gags that echo contemporary life and pop culture. Across brisk sketches and evolving running bits, the sextuplets end up in ridiculous situations that test loyalty, luck, and their stubborn sense of pride. It feels messy, loud and relentlessly energetic, a modern comedy with old school roots.

Released in 2015 as a reboot of Fujio Akatsuka's Osomatsu-kun gag manga, the series brings back the Matsuno brothers for a modern audience. The voice cast includes Takahiro Sakurai as Osomatsu, Jun Fukuyama as Ichimatsu, Aya Endo as Totoko, Yuichi Nakamura as Karamatsu, Kazuhiko Inoue as Matsuzou Matsuno, with a lively mix of new humor and classic references.

The series leans into rapid fire pop culture parody and meta humor, frequently breaking the fourth wall. Its anarchic energy and willingness to lampoon other anime moments helped it become a talking point among fans, sparking memes, fan art and lively online discussion.

Critics and fans praise the brisk pacing and the way the sextuplets chase adulthood, identity, and friendship while spoofing television tropes. The show blends silly sketches with sly social commentary, balancing nostalgia for the original while delivering a distinctly contemporary, high energy tone.

The series did not receive major nominations. It earned appreciation from viewers for its bold humor and strong ensemble cast, but its formal award recognition remained modest, reflecting its niche appeal and dedicated but not mainstream fan base.
