The anime will debuted in July 2025 on TV Tokyo, TV Osaka, TV Aichi, TV Setouchi, TV Hokkaido, and TVQ Kyushu, before airing on other networks. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired.
Takahiro Sakurai, Yūichi Nakamura, Hiroshi Kamiya, Jun Fukuyama, Daisuke Ono, and Miyu Irino all reprise their roles as the Osomatsu sextuplets.
Yoshinori Odaka, the episode director for the anime’s first and third seasons and the director of the Osomatsu-san ~Hipipo-Zoku to Kagayaku Kajitsu~ film, directed the fourth season at Pierrot Films. Shū Matsubara was again in charge of series scripts, and Eiji Abiko again designed the characters.
Bboy band and dance group DA PUMP perform the opening theme song “Osomatsu-san no Bomba Sheeh!” (Mr. Osomatsu’s Bomba Sheeh!), referencing the “Sheeh!” exclamation that the Osomatsu brothers make. Rapper m.c.A・T wrote the Japanese lyrics for the cover. Hitomi of the band Atarayo and the Osomatsu sextuplets perform the ending theme song “Buddy.” Seiji Kameda composed, arranged, and wrote the lyrics for the ending theme song.
The Mr. Osomatsu television anime was inspired by Fujio Akatsuka’s original Osomatsu-kun manga and “high tension comedy” TV anime, which centers on the Matsuno household with six naughty and mischievous sons (who are sextuplets). All of the sextuplets, including the eldest Osomatsu, are all in love with the same girl, Totoko. The original Osomatsu-kun series followed the family when the sons were 10 years old. Mr. Osomatsu re-imagines the original manga and TV anime with the sextuplets as adults.
The Mr. Osomatsu anime has three anime seasons that premiered in 2015, 2017, and 2020. The Eiga no Osomatsu-san film debuted in 2019. The franchise also includes various anime shorts and two live-action films.
The second live-action film opened in Japan on Friday.
The Mr. Osomatsu anime franchise announced in June 2021 that it would get two new anime films with limited theater screenings in Japan in 2022 and 2023. The first new film, Osomatsu-san ~Hipipo-Zoku to Kagayaku Kajitsu~, premiered in Japan in July 2022. The second film, Osomatsu-san: Tamashii no Takoyaki Party to Densetsu no Otomari-kai (Mr. Osomatsu: The Soul’s Takoyaki Party and the Legendary Sleepover Party) premiered in Japan in July 2023.
Matsuinu, a line of dog character products inspired by the Mr. Osomatsu anime, itself inspired a series of anime shorts that debuted in October 2023.
The anime streamed a four-episode “ultra-short anime” exclusive to the Mr. Osomatsu fan club, to commemorate the club’s fifth anniversary in 2024.
