History Anime / OsomatsuSan

* OnlySaneMan: Choromatsu, as in the original series. His StraightMan persona is so watertight that his tirades reach [[{{Manga/Gintama}} Shinpachi]] levels of sanity at times. But really, all of the brothers rotate to fit in this position, with Choromatsu just happening to stay in it the longest.

* DoItYorselfThemeTune: "Six Same Faces", the ED, is sung by the entire cast.

** There's the obvious BoyBand, and their band's name evokes that of veteran Taiwanese boy band F4.

** [[Manga/DragonBall Goku]], [[Manga/SailorMoon Usagi]] and {{Manga/Naruto}} also join the fight against Chibi-Titan, albeit being the Matsuno brothers and their friends in disguise.

* NoFourthWall: [[MediumAwareness As if they knew there even was a Fourth Wall to smash, anyway.]] The first thing the brothers do when they appear on screen is comment o how long it's been since they got any TV screen time. They even have a picture of their deceased creator in their house, for crying out loud!

** The walls of the fancy academy they are in invokes ''Manga/AttackOnTitan''. And then, Chibita crashes in, breaking the walls like the Colossal Titan. The Matsunos ([[OnlySaneMan again with Choromatsu not subscribing to the madness]]) take out their 3D Maneuver Gear to fight Chibita.

'''''Osomatsu-san''''' (おそ松さん) is a sequel to Fujio Akatsuka's famous ''Osomatsu-kun'' series that ran from 1962-1969 in time for Akatsuka's [[MilestoneCelebration 80th birthday]]. The series brings back the Matsuno brothers and their oddball cast of costars and shows what happened to them [[TimeSkip Ten-odd years]] after the end of the first series. Of course, with a change in time, the original series' slapstick Showa-era comedy gets traded in for meta humor to keep up with its contemporaries, but it loses none of the zaniness that the original series was known for.

* [[invoked]]WereStillRelevantDammit: The entire premise of the first episode was the cast trying to pass themselves off as marketable to modern (mid 2010s) audiences. Needless to say, it backfired horribly.

* TimeSkip: After their disastrous stunt trying to make their show popular with modern audiences, the brothers actually sit down and try to think of a newer, better way to accomplish their goal. The next time the audience sees them, they'd been sitting down a full decade in their time.

* TooManyCooksSpoilTheSoup: Osomatsu's plot to make the show popular falls through when the cast starts putting in too many conflicting genres and anime references to tell a coherent story.

* ArtShift: Three times: the first episode goes from the black and white look of the 60's anime to a colorful, modern look a la ''VisualNovel/UtaNoPrinceSama'', and then finally settles a more stramlined version of the cast's original designs at the very end.
