Comedy anime Osomatsu-san is heading back to the big screen on July 8 with a new film titled Osomatsu-san ~Hipipo-Zoku to Kagayaku Kajitsu~!
Created as part of the anime's sixth anniversary celebrations, the upcoming film will see the sextuplets embark on an adventure to discover a legendary wish-granting fruit.
Set 10 years after the events of Akatsuka Fujio's classic manga Osomatsu-kun, Osomatsu-san follows the daily lives of the six Matsuno brothers, now grown up as NEETs.
The TV anime first aired in October 2015, with Seasons 2 and 3 following in 2017 and 2020. The franchise also received its first anime film in 2019.
