Two anime featuring family life that have been staples for decades in Japan--maybe for longer than I've been around--and I haven't yet featured them at Mostly Harmless? For shame!
Here's the Chibi Maruko-chan opening:
and ending:
These are the old theme songs for the show that the tsuma watched when she was a kid--and that her musume are watching new episodes of.
Here's the Sazae-san opening:
and one family's live-action tribute to the show's ending:
The tsuma claims everyone who grew up in Japan knows this song.
Just for fun, here's Sazae Trek:
and i-sazaesan:
Just in case I turn out to be wrong here.

This is all great stuff. Loved Saeze Trek. Saeze-san was started as a comic strip in 1946.
Holy shit!
Not only that, but Saeze-san was drawn by a woman, Machiko Hasegawa, who drew it until 1974. Saeze-san started on TV in 1969.
So it is my age.
