A
promotional video for the fourth season of Mr. Osomatsu has been revealed on the
official website for Pierrot Studios' original anime
series . The video confirms that the premiere is scheduled for
Summer 2025 (July–September) , and lists the tagline: " Our
best summer ever is finally here... just kidding ."
"Mr.
Osomatsu" (Osomatsu-san) is a modern, absurdist adaptation of Fujio
Akatsuka's original manga "Osomatsu-kun ," a high-octane comedy that follows
the antics of the Matsuno family's six troubled children. In this reimagining,
the characters are no longer 10-year-olds, but rather unemployed, aimless,
though just as chaotic, adults. They all happen to be in love with the same
girl: Totoko.
Since
its first broadcast in 2015, the franchise has gained a solid fanbase with
three seasons aired (2015, 2017, and 2020), as well as multiple animated shorts
and even a live-action film. The first animated film in the franchise, "Eiga no
Osomatsu-san," was released in 2019, and two new films were subsequently
announced for limited theatrical releases: the aforementioned "Hipipo-Zoku
to Kagayaku Kajitsu" in 2022 and "Tamashii no Takoyaki Party to
Densetsu no Otomari-kai" in 2023.
Mr.
Osomatsu Synopsis
The
majority of the Matsuno household is made up of six identical brothers: the
self-centered leader Osomatsu, the manly Karamatsu, the level-headed
Choromatsu, the cynical Ichimatsu, the hyperactive Juushimatsu, and the lovable
Todomatsu. Despite all being in their 20s, they are incredibly lazy and
completely unmotivated to get a job, choosing to live as NEETs. On the rare
occasions they do try to apply for a job and manage to get an interview, their
unique personalities often quickly lead to rejection.
From
trying to find a girlfriend to hunting down the perfect job, the Matsuno
brothers' daily activities are never dull, as they embark on all sorts of crazy
and often completely absurd adventures. Though they desperately seek a way to
improve their social standing, that won't be possible if they fail to survive
the challenges of being sextuplets!
