Damn, I thought that the '3' was about to say '3rd cour'.

How do you turn a gag anime into a novel?

A lot of ways. And easy way is each new chapter is a short gag story. But I can see they running a longer over arching story that is just full of gags. Shouldn't be that hard to do.

But I got to say, damn this show is popular.

I really wouldn't be shocked if they did a 3rd cour.

I'm sort of curious to see how they'll do the novel too. Have you ever read something that tries to emulate gags or fast paced comedy, especially with several characters, and it just feels awkward, clunky, and somewhat embarrassing? They'll need to avoid that, which could be difficult if they intend to transfer Osomatsu's humor to page as is. Having a slower pace or being more introspective could work.

Definitely seems like a weird medium for such a gag-heavy series, but if it worked for Gintama...

All the games look pretty fun! I will definitely check them out when they're released, though I'm most likely going to suck at the quiz game since I'm not fluent in Japanese.

At least it is getting more adaptations. If they are successful enough, maybe more anime will be made. Also, a series that popular likely will produce numerous OVA/ONA shorts.
