Osomatsu-kun

1966–1967 · 1 season

A cheerful, noisy blast of vintage slapstick where silly gags and chaotic chases roll by without much weight.

Overview: The first animated adaptation of the 1960s gag manga series, focusing on the adventures of the identical 10-year-old Matsuno sextuplets, led by the titular brother himself. Aside from the Matsunos, the series also showcases the tales of their rival Chibita, and the constantly job-switching conman Iyami.
How it feels: Absurd, light, whimsical and satirical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Family, friendship, identity
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
