  • Jyushimatsu: Daisuke Ono
  • Choromatsu: Hiroshi Kamiya
  • Ichimatsu: Jun Fukuyama

Last month, retailer Rakuten teased a presentation of the announcement for Mr. Osomatsu season 2 among the on-disc extras for the Mr. Osomatsu JRA Special 2016 Blu-Ray.

Mr. Osomatsu is based on the late Fujio Akatsuka’s manga of the same name. The title received an anime series, which hit Japanese TV on October 5, 2015. Yoichi Fujita directed the project at Studio Pierrot. Naoyuki Asano provided character designs, while Shu Matsubara handled series composition.

The show kicked off on October 5, 2015 as a celebration of what would be Akatsuka’s 80th birthday.

The series ran into a degree of controversy over two episodes that aired early in the season, resulting in the show’s first episode being pulled entirely and episode 3 being heavily altered to avoid specific parodic references.
