Episode-length Osomatsu-kun film, released as a feature of the Toei Manga Movie Festival. Loosely based on a manga chapter, the film revolves around an alien plot to take over the world.

Osomatsu-kun New Year's Special involving Chibita and the cast in a parody of several fairy tales, the most prominent being Momotarou and Cinderella.

A parody of "Journey to the West" involving the characters of Fujio Akatsuka's two most popular works: Tensai Bakabon and Osomatsu-kun.

Orphan Nello and his poor, great, quiet beast Patrasche, arrive at the end of Ouida's classic tale "A Dog of Flanders", and, as written, die. But, instead of joining the angels, as the book typically goes, the two unfortunate souls have decided to get postmortem revenge for their suffering, and lead a hellish front dedicated to destroying the world. It's now up to Bakabon, his Papa, and the rest of the wacky characters of Fujio Akatsuka's "Tensai Bakabon" to stop them and their mysterious benefactor, while making some new friends along the way.

An Osomatsu-san special funded in part by the Japan Racing Association, a company that oversees horse racing and betting.

Osomatsu ends up meeting the CEO of a multi-trillion yen company, who wants to adopt Osomatsu as his own. The other brothers find out and they can't let that slide without a fight.

Happy holidays from Bakabon and the family! Watch Papa save New Year's, learn the details of Hajime's birth, and thrill as the youngest member of the family evades a kidnapping! It's a real crazy world out there, but that's how it should be!

Bakabon loves his Papa, Mama, and little brother Hajime. Of course, he doesn't have a normal family with a name like that: Papa's an idiot who takes matters into his own hands, no matter the circumstances, Hajime's just a baby and is renowned for his genius, and Mama is the extra-resilient voice of reason. Life certainly isn't boring either, with Papa stopping a fraudster, the parents celebrating their anniversary and sharing how they met, and the foolish patriarch himself deciding to run away and solve a marriage crisis on live television. It's a big dumb world out there, but that's how it should be!

Iyami and Chibita compete to be the best chef at the Matsuno Brothers's restaurant in order to appeal to a food critique.

15th entry in the Ekimae series, surrounding the then-insanely popular Weekly Shounen Sunday series Osomatsu-kun and Obake no Q-Taro.

Believe it or not, Bakabon's Papa is a university graduate! Discover Papa's college days with his favorite professor, see Bakabon and an American boy trade places, and anticipate for Papa's big alma mater reunion! The world isn't too educated, but that's how it should be!

Commissioned by Japan’s largest prep school, Kawaijuku, as an entrance ceremony short, this 1986 film follows a year in the life of a female “ronin” student. Directed by then-rookie Junichi Inoue and produced by iconoclastic filmmaker Koji Wakamatsu, it transforms what should have been a conventional promotional piece into an audacious, subversive portrait of youth, featuring Mikari, Naoto Takenaka, and manga legend Fujio Akatsuka.

The lives of the now 20-something NEET Matsuno sextuplets and the bizarre adventures they find themselves into in the modern day.

The adventures of Iyami, a con artist who's always looking for a quick buck, and Chibita, his short-statured kid partner-in-crime, as they make trouble for their town and constantly cause friction with the Matsuno sextuplets, a clan of rowdy identical 10-year-old brothers led by the eldest, Osomatsu.

If the first Bakabon series wasn't the "original", then what could Ganso Tensai Bakabon hope to achieve? How about wilder and more dangerous stories, stranger and crazier new characters, and a Papa who's more idiotic than ever? With a "koredeiinoda!" to end his bizarre escapades, this take on Fujio Akatsuka's classic series set the standard for all adaptations to come, and put the anarchic energy of the original manga into animation!

Atsuko Kagami is an elementary school girl who has an affinity for mirrors. One day, her favorite mirror which was given to Akko by her mother is broken, and she prefers to bury it in her yard rather than throw it to the trash can. In her dreams, she is contacted by a spirit (or in some cases the Queen of the Mirror Kingdom) who is touched that the girl would treat the mirror so respectfully and not simply throw it away. Akko-chan is then given the gift of a magical mirror and taught enchantments, such as "Tekumaku mayakon, tekumaku mayakon" and "Lamipasu lamipasu lu lu lu lu lu", that will allow her to transform into anything she wishes

Tensai Bakabon has been off the airwaves for almost 20 years! What's a Papa to do in dire times like the late 2010s? How about break every rule in the anime books, throw in celebrity guests, and take a nonsensical peek into the little things in modern life like otome games, blind dates, and the possibility that a series from the Showa era could make it to now! Is this really how it should be?!

The first animated adaptation of the 1960s gag manga series, focusing on the adventures of the identical 10-year-old Matsuno sextuplets, led by the titular brother himself. Aside from the Matsunos, the series also showcases the tales of their rival Chibita, and the constantly job-switching conman Iyami.

Based on Fujio Akatsuka's subversive family comedy, the series follows naive 10-year-old Bakabon and his folks: Papa, the patriarch and idiot supreme, Mama, Bakabon's darling mother and voice of reason, and Hajime, the newly-born baby boy who, due to being in the womb for an extended period, gained super-intelligence and an extensive bevy of worldly knowledge. Much of the comedy revolves around the idiotic natures of Bakabon and his Papa, and the people who have to put up with it.

Matsuinu follows the everyday adventures of six round and cuddly pooches that lead peaceful and relaxing lives, encouraging the audience to share in their warm and fluffy feelings.

Bakabon and his Papa turn common sense on its head. After all, most of the common sense that we take for granted isn't just nonsensical, but often comical. Join Bakabon and the family as common sense not just headstands, but backflips into the strange, absurd, and downright idiotic!

Studio Pierrot's first adaptation of Fujio Akatsuka's family comedy, and the franchise's overall third.
