The Who's Who of Hipipo

("Open Image In New Tab" highly recommended!)

one of my favourite scenes in "Osomatsu-san: The Hipipo Tribe and the Glistening Fruit" was the climactic chase featuring cameos from many reoccuring and one-off characters (some of whom also appeared in the film's opening) from all three seasons of the anime - some well-known among fans of the franchise, others not so much.

in an attempt to fill in those "not so much" gaps, I proudly present a project I've been looking forward to posting for three months: a visual guide to the name and origin of every character who cameos in the climax and/or opening. see the list in text form under the cut!

Osomatsu-san is an original anime series in the comedy and parody genre that first aired in 2015. Directed by Yoichi Fujita, best known from Gintama, the series is an original production not inspired by any manga or light novel. Known for popular anime series such as Ultramarine Magmell and Akudama Drive, Pierrot studio appears as the creative studio of the production. The anime is licensed by Viz Media, which brings many mangas to readers in English, and is originally broadcast on many local networks such as TV Tokyo, TVO, TVA, AT-X, BS Japan. In addition, Osomatsu-san is distributed exclusively by many distributors. One of the main reasons that make it popular worldwide is that it is broadcast on online content platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Tubi, and PlutoTV worldwide. The final season of the anime, like the previous seasons, consisted of 25 episodes and aired weekly from October 13, 2020, to March 30, 2021. Fans are wondering now; has the anime been renewed for a fourth season?1 What is the plotline of the Osomatsu-san?2 When is the fourth season of Osomatsu-san?What is the plotline of the Osomatsu-san?The Picture: @vizmedia / YouTube – TrailerOsomatsu-san is basically a dark comedy anime series that contains the absurd stories of the six brothers in each episode and is mostly for adults. The series is also the sequel of the Osomatsu-kun series, which is about the six sons of the Matsuno family after 48 years. Osomatsu, Karamatsu, Choromatsu, Ichimatsu, Jyushimatsu, and Todomatsu… Six unique people who have no ties to work or women live under one roof, sometimes struggle with each other, and spend their days enjoying their hobbies.When is the fourth season of Osomatsu-san?Viz Media or any related company has yet to renew the anime for a fourth season. But anime is a real phenomenon in japan. Anime was named 2016 Top Buzzword. Even though it’s an underrated anime with the disadvantage of its genre in other countries, its popularity in Japan might provide a season renewal. When we looked at the story, although there was no continuity, we had received the fourth season signals at some points.Animes often use their manga series as their source material, and if the manga does not provide enough source material, a new season is very unlikely. However, Osomatsu-san is an independent production from any manga, and if it is desired to continue, source adequacy will not be a problem.Anime became a big trend in Japan in 2015 when it was first released. For that year’s disc sales, the anime’s first season became the best-selling anime of the year with record sales. It sold 114,548 in its first volume, and on average, it sold nearly twice that of its closest competitor, ‘Fate / stay night Unlimited Blade Works Part II’. This was a huge success, but disc sales dropped in seasons two and following season three. Especially in the third season, it lagged behind many anime. This reduction in disc sales might be a concern for a fourth season, but the increase in exclusive distributors in recent years can be presented as an excuse for this decline.Half a million people follow the anime’s Twitter account, and that’s a really hard-to-reach number of followers for an anime. Considering the anime still has a strong fan base, we are hopeful for a fourth season. Based on the previous seasons of the anime, we see that the average production time is two years. The last season met with the audience three years later, but we think that the pandemic also had an effect on this. If there is no extra delay and the anime is renewed for a new season, Season 4 may be on the screens at the end of 2023. Stay tuned for updates.

Ok Dive!! but...

...seriously...

....i mean...

...come on...

...if THIS BOY’s gonna “turn out to be straight” then ure going TOO FAR with that baiting already!!!!! omg wut XD

or perhaps...

...MAYBE...could be??? that...

...you are actually GOING SOMEWHERE with this? I have like zero hope for a decent teenage gay backstory here cuz DAHHH but such a SETTING omg whats happening... this goes painfully far with baiting like this.

Seriously sports anime learn from example. Do it or DONT, but DECIDE one. If this is an example of messing around it certainly is bold overkill. BUT if he happens to be a queer character then wow nice starting, and would be great to see with absolutely no romance actually happening at all too, maybe even better. 

But heh thats just me seeing a potential in this MASSIVE delivery. Which likely is just a failed baiting attempt. Failed cuz crashing THIS back into a straight line would require breaking it at several places omg XD Or maybe they just leave it to “guessing” so they and eat the cake and keep it.

Top 7 Karamatsu Facts You Probably Didn't Know

1) His favorite drink is whiskey, but it's actually barley tea (he'll say it's whiskey but it's actually barley tea) (this is stated in Spoon.2Di vol.10 and Karamatsu character book (in "Osomatsu san drama CD volume 6-2 Karamatsu and Todomatsu" he can get drunk on barley tea, barley tea is also mentioned in "Matsuno family diary"))

2) His favorite food is karaage and meat (this is stated in Spoon.2Di vol.10, Karamatsu character book and official merchandise)

3) He has a panty fetish (as shown in the Ichimatsu character book)

4) He knows how to cook fried rice (Osomatsu's favorite food)

5) Judging by the movie, he doesn't know kanji

6) Director Yoichi Fujita has 2 Karamatsu stickers on his laptop (one of which he received at an Osomatsu event)(Karamatsu boy??!)

7) Before the release of the movie, there were various hints that he would be an important part in the plot of the movie.

[kraniumet]

morally conflicted because i think it’s unproductive to criticise something for what it isn’t, especially when it’s about something that is heavily affected by budgetary constraints + it’s lame to idealize the past, but equally I would give some fingers to see the shogun ass, shinsengumi crisis and silver soul fights animated with the frenzy and sense of emotional+physical weight that courtesan of a nation, four devas, be forever yorozuya etc had.

*2.5 hour phone conversation with my sister later* yeah the gintama anime really does lose a lot of its action scene panache after the switch to BNP

[mffgh]

an interview with takahiro sakurai about the movie. translation from @sakiamiya on twitter, from animage magazine.

What did you feel when you first heard a movie is being made? Honestly, it will be better to make comments like, I was surprised, or, I was happy here, I would think. But those weren’t my feelings and rather it was, I won’t put it past them to make one (laughs). This series stirred up this much energy and excitement, and I had already heard from Director Fujita Yoichi and Script Writer Matsubara Shuu-san before that they wanted to try making a long skit. That’s why I thought, “To think they actually went and did it …”

That being said, I couldn’t imagine what kind of story it will be.

If they lined up short stories like the TV anime and then end it with a BOOM! explosion and the words “the end,” the movie will still flow and end properly since it is that kind of show. However, in my opinion, since it will be a film adaptation, I thought I’ll prefer it if it was a dramatic story instead. I believed the movie would be more or less “going all out” with what they have. So it would be nice if they make the story while being conscious of this adaptation being a movie.

And that’s when it became a movie adaptation with that kind of feel.

What did you feel when you received the script and learnt of the contents? It came out with a “good feeling” to it. Not “deeply moving” or “shocking,” but “good feeling.” The Osomatsu-san-like feeling the series has built up until now is properly mixed in, with a bit of fantasy and just a little bit of deep story. It is also a story where you can see the subtleties of the sextuplets’ hearts and how they grew up.

The story is about the sextuplets meeting their eighteen year old selves in the past, right? With a timeslip-like mechanism, you trace back your memories and end up meeting yourself who is still growing—this kind of drama that touches the soft parts of your heart is something I like a lot. I also think it is a movie-like thing too. However, the recording was a lot of work. We have to do both our past and present selves, so, huh? Isn’t this double the workload? Script Writer Matsubara Shuu also said, “You’re right, you have to do it twice,” and apologized (laughs).

What was your impression when you saw the eighteen year old version of the sextuplets? Everyone changed in a way I couldn’t imagine from their present selves. Jyushimatsu is really delinquent, and there are some whose characters have become complete opposites.

There is a huge gap between past Karamatsu and present-sunglasses-wearing-Karamatsu. As for Todomatsu, his youngest feel became even stronger and he’s like a cute girl, which irritated me (laughs). Ichimatsu is pretty much like a normal high school student. However, while there is a gap between him and his present self, you can already see the signs of the soon-to-come “darkness” … is what I feel.

And the one who made the most impact on me, personally, was Choromatsu. He consciously acts as an “honor student” in his own way, but his acting is bad to the point of being really annoying. No matter how many times I watch, it is funny (laughs). Kamiya-kun has done a wonderful, full 100 out of 100 job. These gaps are rather important points in this story.

To begin with, in “Osomatsu-kun”, everyone had the same face and personality and was fun to watch. These sextuplets would then, due to certain chance, try to find themselves in an extremely clumsy manner. That is the sort of impression I got from the eighteen year old sextuplets.

It then turns to “Osomatsu-san” where each and every one of them was given personalities, roles, and unique characteristics. While the sextuplets are shitty NEETs, they can’t be hated and are very human—that’s how the fans see them, and we do too. However, when you unravel the past, you will see the sextuplets had their own mental conflicts until present time. This is how the story of the movie is drawn, to unfold this drama … is the feeling I received.

However … Osomatsu is the only one who hasn’t changed though (laughs). Well, Osomatsu has been put in the position of, You’re the only one who hasn’t changed at all!!

In that case, have you changed your acting between eighteen year old Osomatsu and present Osomatsu? I tried in my own way to be creative, but I also did it while thinking, it doesn’t have to convey (laughs). Two, three years when you’re an adult doesn’t amount to much change. However, for you when you’re still in your teens, isn’t it much more dramatic?

With that in mind, I did try to separate the younger Osomatsu and the later Osomatsu, and come to grips with them, but … They will probably feel the same (laughs).

Please tell us the scenes you liked without giving any spoilers. Let’s see … The present sextuplets who became NEETs will appear in front of their eighteen year old selves. However, the way they appeared is really, really stupid, the worst, and wonderful. The adult sextuplets will also go to disguise themselves with extraordinary choices. Those disguises are why did you choose that?! in the “those disguises are horrible” way (laughs). However, you could feel that it is sextuplet-like, and there’s a strange touching-ness to it.

At times there are really stupid scenes that pop up again and again, like they’re trying to hide their embarrassment. “If you cut these scenes, the movie will become a good, more mature one, you know”—such elements are purposely piled in, which leads to a, “Well, we aren’t really like that,” feeling (laughs). I thought this balance was really good.

Like I said in the beginning, there is a dramatic feel to it from being conscious that this is a theatrical movie adaptation. There is a little bit of bitterness. I think the story is rather moving, or rather, it can make you feel I watched something good. However, even then, the sextuplets are the same as always; the flavor of Osomatsu-san hasn’t been lost. I believe it is because of this series’ power which has been building continuously from the TV anime and Director Fujita’s sense.

Please go and have a taste of the Osomatsu-san that has become movie-like.

[come-to-the-day]

You will have to thank @fattlestacks for this new series of posts. She indirectly made me discover this weight gain while searching for Osomatsu san fat fan art.  

Because this is from an anime directed by Yoichi Fujita (from the Osomatsu san anime). Well, the first season was. The weight gain happens in the second season, directed by Kei Umabiki. 

 And this anime is called "Classicaloid". Yeah, it's like Vocaloids but with classical music.
