Maido! Urayasu Tekkin Kazoku (毎度！浦安鉄筋家族) is a 25 episode gag comedy based on the manga of the same name by Hamaoka Kenji. The series originally aired in Japan over the second half of 2014.
This short series continues the insane antics of the Osawagi family beyond the original Urayasu Tekkin Kazoku anime. Osawagi Kotetsu is a hyperactive elementary school boy whose family and friends are a collection of bizarre weirdo's. The show is segmented into 2 minute long episodes containing isolated stories of insanity involving a large cast of characters. From the clueless homeroom teacher who models his wardrobe after Bruce Lee's. Kotetsu's taxi driving everyday middle aged father. A classmate who can't keep clothes on, another who has the body of an old man and on and on.
Even with the fact that I could only understand about half of the dialog in this series it quickly became one of my favorite shows for 2014. No one has picked this up for subtitling...legitimate or otherwise. Which is really disappointing. I love gag manga and this is one of the best I have ever seen. The animation is crisp and clean, which is rare for this style of anime. The RAW provider for this show is claiming that episode 25 is the final but information in the episode points to it continuing in January of 2015...so time will tell. Hopefully someone picks this highly entertaining show up. Regardless I still enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone who is a fan of insane and off kilter comedies.
As stated, this is in no way pegged for licensing outside of the Japan at the moment. The original series from the end of the 90's had seen some foreign licensing, but not in North America.
