"Osomatsu-san" is a Japanese anime series that is a modern remake and reimagining of the classic manga and anime series "Osomatsu-kun." The show is known for its humor, absurdity, and unique style. It was originally released in 2015 to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the original manga's creator, Fujio Akatsuka.
The series revolves around the Matsuno sextuplets, who are identical brothers with distinct personalities. Each brother is named Osomatsu, Karamatsu, Choromatsu, Ichimatsu, Jyushimatsu, and Todomatsu. The show follows their misadventures and often surreal escapades as they navigate various situations, often getting themselves into ridiculous and hilarious predicaments.
"Osomatsu-san" is renowned for its irreverent and self-aware humor, which often includes references to pop culture, parodies of other anime, and breaking the fourth wall. The series is known for pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable in anime comedy, making it popular among viewers who appreciate unconventional and offbeat humor.
The characters' interactions and dynamics, as well as their comedic struggles with adulthood and societal expectations, are central themes in the show. The art style and animation also contribute to its unique appeal, incorporating a mix of traditional and modern animation techniques.
With such fame, it's inevitable that there would be papercraft projects dedicated to Osomatsu. Fans can explore the Pixiv page of Japanese designer Kataho and take a look at his collection of Osomatsu-san papercrafts. These crafts maintain the original theme's humor, somewhat surreal. The templates are provided as high-quality image files, suitable for double-sided printing. Additionally, you can also discover several paper craft projects related to other classic anime series.
