Anime Retailer Right Stuf’s listing for Viz Media’s Blu-ray Disc release for the first season of Mr. Osomatsu states that it will not include the “controversial episode 1” of the anime. The Blu-ray Disc will include episodes 2-25 of the series, and it is slated to ship on March 9.
After the premiere of the first season in October 2015, the staff of the anime announced that the Blu-ray/DVD release for the anime in Japan would not feature the episode. The first Blu-ray/DVD volume shipped in Japan in January 2016. The episode was also removed from various streaming sites in Japan in November 2015, and Crunchyroll stopped streaming the episode the same month.
Viz Media acquired the digital streaming, electronic sell-through, home video, and merchandise rights for the Mr. Osomatsu anime, including the second season. Viz Media is releasing the anime with an English dub.
