【No. 0480】Sazae-san [Part 2]
The Japanese national animation "Sazae-san" is broadcasted in the evening every Sunday.
Some Japanese people become depressed after watching Sazae-san, because they have to go to school/work next day.
This symptom is sometimes called "Sazae-san syndrome," which is similar to "Blue Monday Syndrome."
Also, it is said that you can predict changes of Japanese economy by observing the viewer ratings of Sazae-san.
This is because if the economy improve, people will go to eat outside the home on Sunday evenings, and the viewer ratings of Sazae-san will drop.
To tell you the truth, I don't think that this animation is very fun, but you can see it with a light heart.
If you come to Japan, please be sure to watch it.
今日は日本の国民的アニメ「サザエさん」のトピックの続きです。
サザエさんは、毎週日曜日の夕方に放送されています。
このため、我々はサザエさんを見ると、翌日から通学・仕事をしないといけないという鬱な気分になることがあります。
この現象をサザエさん症候群と呼ぶそうです(ブルーマンデー症候群と同様)。
また、サザエさんの視聴率の変動によって、景気の変動を予測できるとも言われています。
景気が良くなると日曜夕方の外食率が増加し、サザエさんの視聴率が下がるというわけです。
正直に言うと、特別面白いというわけではありませんが、穏やかな気分で何気なく見ることができるアニメだと思います。
日本に来た時は、是非ご覧になって下さい。

Interesting! It seems that Sazae-san manga was not so long lasting as the anime.
Thank you very much always for correcting my post!

Supposedly, if the economy improves, people will dine out on Sunday evenings, and the viewer ratings of Sazae-san will drop.
Supposedly is a good word to state a claim.

To be honest, I don't find the animation to be that engaging but it's something you can watch when you feeling buoyant.
To be honest = a more personal way of writing it
...that engaging = not so interesting but phrased in a more optimistic sense
buoyant = what you mean by 'light heart'

I suppose it has a stronger local appeal. But there's always room for the simple classics.

Yes, Sazae-san includes many Japanese cultures, and has strong local influence. For this reason, it is appreciated by us.
