Tsuyoshi Shikkari Shinasai

Aired: 1992

A family-comedy TV anime broadcast on Fuji Television, based on Kiyoshi Nagamatsu's manga. The series centers on Tsuyoshi Igawa, a meek elementary schooler endlessly buffeted by his domineering mother and two outrageously assertive older sisters. The contrast between the family's overwhelming personalities and Tsuyoshi's quietly endearing helplessness drew a wide audience and built strong cross-generational appeal. The musical lineup also became a talking point: opening with rock band Bakufu-Slump's Sayonara Bunmei and ending Namida 3, the series later featured contributions from major acts such as TOKIO and Wink. Running for about three years, the show stands as a defining 1990s domestic sitcom anime, celebrating the absurd warmth of everyday family life.
