Mr. Osomatsu Anime to Run for 2 Consecutive Seasons
The official Twitter account for the Mr. Osomatsu anime announced on Tuesday that the series will run for two consecutive seasons. The second half will begin in January.
The series premiered on October 5. Crunchyroll is streaming the series as it airs in Japan.
In a press conference on October 29, Yūichi Takahashi of TV Tokyo apologized for the series' third episode. The episode contained a parody of the Anpanman children's anime character. The first and second episodes of the show also contained parodies of many other series, such as Attack on Titan, Boys Over Flowers, and Sailor Moon. The first episode is scheduled to be removed from various streaming sites on November 12, and will be reanimated for the home video release.
Japan does not have a parody exception or provision in its copyright law. Therefore, making parodies of copyrighted works may illegally violate a copyright owners' "right to maintain integrity," if performed without the copyright holder's prior consent.
