Crunchyroll announced their pickup of the streaming rights for the second season of Osomatsu and ahead of the premiere they’ve now brought out a subtitled trailer for it. Which is definitely useful considering how dialogue-heavy the series is and all the jokes they slide into things. Crunchyroll will be bringing the show out on their service with it set for an October 2nd, 2017 debut at 1:35pm ET for their members. Availability is strong as it’s open to viewers worldwide outside of Asia.
Based on the manga by Fujio Akatsuka that ran from 1962 to 1969 and had a couple of revivals along the way, it had an adaptation in the mid 60′s and then a remake in the late 80′s. This series is serving as a sequel to it with the same animation studio from the 80′s involved, albeit with a new creative team. The original series focused on the six kids when they were young but this one takes a look at them as adults now and how their lives turned out.
Directed by Yoichi Fujita, the series is animated by Studio Pierrot based on the composition by Shu Matsubara and character designs by Naoyuki Asano.
The series stars Takahiro Sakurai as the eldest son Osomatsu, Yūichi Nakamura as the second son Karamatsu, Hiroshi Kamiya as the third son Choromatsu, Jun Fukuyama as the fourth son Ichimatsu, Daisuke Ono as the fifth son Jūshimatsu, Miyu Irino as the sixth and youngest son Todomatsu, Aya Endo as the heroine Totoko, Kenichi Suzumura as Iyami and Sachi Kokuryu as Chibita.
Plot Concept: The Matsuno household has six naughty and mischievous sons (who are sextuplets), led by the eldest, Osomatsu. They may have been grade schoolers since the Shōwa period, and they may still live in the same house, but modern day society has certainly changed around them.
