Why is a long-running show that is this popular in Japan, ranked 5919 ? I mean, most, if not all of the Japanese population knows Sazae-san, and likes it. (the same goes for Doraemon, Chibimaruko-chan, etc.) The answer is simple: this is a slice of life-comedy show made for Japanese people, not for Americans, or French people. In a sense, it is the Japanese version of the Simpsons. But the genre of comedy is different, and unlike the Simpsons, it needs Japanese cultural knowledge to understand, and it isn't oversaturated at all. Note: Sazae-san first started as a crappy show, much like all other 1970's animes. Conclusion: Don't watch Sazae-sanif you're not Japanese, and either way watch the newer episodes.

Story: 8/10 This is a show with no or little coninuity... but all the anecdotes are quite fun to watch, as a Japanese person.
Character: Most of the characters are 1970's Japanese stereotypes, that have been commically amplified, but only a little. They aren't that unique, but their characteristics are well executed.
Art: 7/10 The newer Sazae-san episodes' art isn't bad, it's unique, and it does what it needs to do. Before, it kind of looked crappy.
Enjoyment: This really depends on whether you get "it" or not. If you do, you'll be pleased by this show, if not... well you won't enjoy it. I gave it a 9/10, but that's as a Japanese person.
