Mr. Osomatsu Is Coming Back For A Second Season

Mr. Osomatsu is essentially the South Park of anime. The cult classic full of crude comedy and silly antics is coming back for a second season. Avex picture, the studio behind the Mr. Osomatsu anime, has released a new trailer announcing that there will be a second season of the popular comedy anime. Not only did the website release a trailer, but also a new visual as well.

The director from the first series, Yoichi Fujita will be returning to direct the new series. Other staff and the main voice actors will also be returning as well. Rakuten Books teased the return of Osomatsu last month as they listed that theOsomatsu-san Kobanashi Atsume (Mr. Osomatsu Funny Short Story Collection) Blu-ray Disc and DVD release would also include a big “Season 2 Announcement Episode.’”

Mr. Osomatsu first began as a manga titled Osomatsu-kun in the Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine all the way back in 1962, and ran in the magazine until 1969. The manga was the re-released in Weekly Shonen King from 1972-1973, and then again in Comic BonBon from 1987-1990. The franchise was picked up for an anime adaptation in 2015, and the first season was simulcast by Crunchyroll, bringing Osomatsu to the American audience. MAL describes the anime series below:

The majority of the Matsuno household is comprised of six identical siblings: self-centered leader Osomatsu, manly Karamatsu, voice of reason Choromatsu, cynical Ichimatsu, hyperactive Juushimatsu, and lovable Todomatsu. Despite each one of them being over the age of 20, they are incredibly lazy and have absolutely no motivation to get a job, choosing to live as NEETs instead. In the rare occurrence that they try to look for employment and are somehow able to land an interview, their unique personalities generally lead to their swift rejection.

From trying to pick up girlfriends to finding the perfect job, the daily activities of the Matsuno brothers are never dull as they go on all sorts of crazy, and often downright bizarre, adventures. Though they desperately search for a way to improve their social standing, it won’t be possible if they can’t survive the various challenges that come with being sextuplets!

There is no official release date for the upcoming new Osomatsu season but it has been officially been green-lit.
