Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan

I can feel each episode...u know? I had all this problems with my job and I couldn't show it but when I watched this anime I felt I'm not alone and I really love it I'm so sad that it's gonna end I wish there is a 2nd session for that cause that's the only anime about hard working and problems with job. I love it thanks guys.

You know the Krusty the Clown show from the Simpsons. This is basically that. The main character is Uramichi. He is the host of a little kids show. He is deadpan and very dead inside. He hates his life.

Uramichi Oniisaaaaan.... Zzzzz I'm so tired dude. Zzzz it's the morning again...

A slice of life where an emotionally unstable gymnast running a children show with his coworkers who have just as many crises in life as him.

This was such a refreshing and hilarious show. Every episode, I just cracked up at how Uramichi and his coworkers complaining to these kids and teaching them about how life sucks. There wasn't really any structure to the story, just these characters in different skits talking about various aspects of lives.

This was brilliant because it was very relatable to the audiences, who have jobs and constantly have to put on a show at work. In a way, I can see how the show is the author making fun of himself. He's struggling to have ideas for his show, so he's making fun of how his desperation. Anyway, each character in the show had their own struggle, and audiences will resonate with at least some of the abysmal and depressing remarks from these characters.

To add more salts to the wound, the innocent kids in the show, although adorable, made seemingly innocent comments that pierces through our main characters. It's a hilarious way of showing how obviously people try to put on a happy face that a kid can even see through.

I enjoyed this show a lot, but honestly as the show went on, the jokes became a bit less funny.

Overall, a smart and wicked show that is both funny and sadly relatable. 8.5/10.

This is a show that feels like it doesn't entirely commit to a lot of things, but it still manages to accomplish some things. Whether it's intended or not, though, this series goes into such horror territory that it's easy to take as intelligent and almost unimaginably dark. It may just be more honest than I'm used to, and it did resonate in a number of ways, but doesn't it seem like they're in hell?

In any case, the Japanese voice acting is very good, and well cast. The premise is easy to understand, if you've ever seen any of these programs that are usually aired for mothers and young children to watch. The songs are also well-performed.

This is also one of the parts where the series doesn't commit completely to anything, so it's highly interpretable. Are the kids aware of how bleak things are, and the problems with their adult idols whom they believe have got it all figured out? It depends on the episode and what they wanted to say. Is the song really like that, and the kids don't understand how horrifying the words are but like the sound of it? Some of them seem like it, and others don't, but either way, it's deep in horror by that point.

It's funny and even cute sometimes, but then it immediately becomes extremely heavy and honestly depressing. The final episode really seems to double down on the horror, or ease in interpreting things that way. It's weird, because in some ways, it seems almost uplifting, but then the question follows, because it doesn't like to really commit in any particular direction.

It has some nice moments with different kinds of people, who are either archetypes you know well, or ones you haven't really seen exactly like this, so it can throw you off if you're expecting an easy go because you were assuming this was a silly comedy.

It's one of the only things I've seen in a while that made me think this much about what story it was trying to tell, and the characters were most all very understandable, often likeable. The production overall is very solid, and it's a series that doesn't overstay its welcome, really. I can always appreciate something that when it's done, I still want a little more. This was like that. But it's also something where, perhaps thanks to its lack of commitment, I don't feel I should ever revisit it. Nonetheless, I think it's worth watching once, though if you're extremely depressed, maybe try to find something else. This will definitely upset you a lot.

Uramichi Oniisan is a hilarious yet brutally honest look at adulthood through the lens of a children's TV show host who's deeply jaded about life. Uramichi, the main character, teaches kids how to exercise while constantly dropping dark, sarcastic comments about the realities of being an adult. The humor is spot-on, especially if you're someone who can relate to the everyday struggles of work, existential dread, and just trying to get through the day. It's a comedy that makes you laugh at how painfully relatable it is, but there's also a bit of a deeper reflection on how people hide their true feelings behind a happy facade. The blend of dark humor and sharp social commentary makes it a unique, entertaining watch!
