An iconic anime series that has been airing for just over 55 years has now broken a world record -- one that it set for itself several years ago for the longest-running anime TV show in history.

Per Oricon News, the anime Sazae-san has broken its own world record for the longest-running animated television series in history. Lead actor Midori Kato, the voice of Sazae Fuguta, also re-earned a Guinness World Record for the longest career as a voice actor for the same character in an animated TV series. Sazae-san and Kato are both celebrating their newly received awards in conjunction with the shows 55th anniversary, and their fifth anniversary since originally receiving the records.

‘Sazae-san’ Long-Running Japanese Animation Show Hit by Coronavirus
Image
Japan’s ultra-long-running animation show “Sazae-san” has run out of fresh episodes due to the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on production. The show will stay on air but with repeats for the foreseeable future.

The show, about a suburban housewife called Sazae, has been on air continuously since 1969. It plays on Fuji Television Network every Sunday in the early evening slot of 6.30pm.

All TV drama and a large proportion of animation production in Japan has been halted by the nationwide lockdown that the government initiated last month as a means of slowing the spread of the coronavirus. Last week, the government announced an extension of its state of emergency, meaning that the lockdown and production hiatus will continue.

The last time that “Sazae-san” turned to re-runs was back in 1975 as a consequence of the oil crisis that sent petroleum prices spiraling upward and the world economy spinning down.
