CATDOLL: The animation "Osomatsu" is very popular in Korea, but there are too many pornographic stories to be broadcast on TV

The new animation "Osomatsu" which has been aired since October 2015 can be regarded as one of the most popular works in recent times. In addition to being well received in Japan, the work has also had a good influence overseas, and some media have paid attention to the situation in South Korea.

In Japan, many female viewers who like "Osomatsu" are called "Osomatsu girl" or "Matsuko", and there are many such people in Korea. Although this work has not been broadcast on TV in Korea, it has quickly attracted attention due to the development of the Internet. The background is that the work invited a luxurious lineup of voice actors including Sakurai Takahiro, and the director is Fujita Yoichi who was in charge of "Gintama". These elements that are very familiar to Korean anime fans constitute the popularity of "Osomatsu" in the country.

In addition, South Korea is currently broadcasting the 1988 version of "Osomatsu", which also makes the work well-known. However, although many netizens expect the latest "Osomatsu" to be broadcast on TV, the possibility is still very small. After all, the work is full of various plots and jokes that are not suitable for public viewing, and it is not easy to pass the review of Korean TV stations.

A TV station staff member said: "If such a work full of dirty jokes is to be broadcast in Korea, the pressure on editing will be too great."

However, the work is still very popular in South Korea, and even caused some disputes. A Korean store selling COSPLAY costumes had previously sold the costumes of the relevant work without the permission of the copyright owner, and was banned by the production committee. Although this protected the interests of the copyright owner, it poured cold water on Korean COSERs. Will Korean fans be able to better appreciate the fun of the work in the future?
