Uncle from Another World

I absolutely loved this! Laughed so hard I cried. I can't say how much I didn't know I needed to watch this anime and am dying for a second season. The humour is mixed in with dark references that made my heart delight.

It's something many gamers can relate to (being left out, being socially awkward, having gaming or anime references only a certain few know, not picking up social queues.) it was a delight.

Especially how the hero wasn't exactly the shining light you usually get in anime's (handsome, amazing at combat, good with the ladies, good with his words.)

Uncle was just quite loveable and he's worth getting to know by watching it. Give him a shot and watch this so I can get my season 2 will you :)

Finding this series was completely unexpected and I'm glad I did! Isekai Ojisan (Uncle From Another World) is a unique twist on the Isekai genre. Instead of someone being transported from our world to a fantasy world and watching their journey unfold, we instead start at the very end, after they are transported back again. As the story unfolds, we get to see Ojisan (Uncle) become acclimatized to our world again after being gone for so long. With the help of his nephew, Takafumi, we find out what happened to Ojisan in the other world as he tells his story (memories) through a magical projection. We find out very quickly he wasn't exactly the hero we're used to seeing, was constantly discriminated against, and is embarrassingly socially inept. As the synopsis explains, Ojisan may have come back to our world, but gets to keep his magical powers. This is actually handled quite well, adds to the story, and never goes over the top.

Personally, I would recommend this series, especially if you're a fan of Isekai genre. Can't wait to see more!

The story is a reverse isekai with dark comedy ( which i found really funny ). It's a very good show, i really want all the production issues to end so that i can watch the next episode.

It is filled with all the 90s references and old video games references are also there which are very accurately shown.

The animation is nice, and the pacing of episodes is phenomenal.

The characters are interesting in their our right and all of them are very entartaining to watch.

It sometimes gets very dark, but only if you think deeply about it.

If you want to watch something new or something fresh you can give this a watch. You 100% won't regret it.

FYI, I'm over 60, and not a big fan of video games or Mage type anime, but I don't really think that comes into play.

This anime looked promising. A man who has been in a coma for, i don't know, 20 years?, wakes up with the tale that he was actually in another world the whole time. So, I thought it would be a fish out of water type anime. Instead, it's a very disjointed Mage anime, and there are SO MANY Mage animes.

In the beginning, it was amusing, not LOL, but amusing, and sad because all his references are not only from the early 2000s, but those of a teenager. It was also sad to think that his family fought over the money it would take to keep him cared for while in his coma, and they quickly abandoned him. Though I understand the financial hardship that his long term care would have caused, what could a 17 year old kid have done to be abandoned by his family like that? Well, they never did go into that. At least they haven't by episode 10.

It's just another repetitive anime, where the same basic story is told over and over -- dragon, monster, other magic users, it doesn't matter.

What a missed opportunity.

This isn't the first show where I've sat there and thought "why is nobody actually talking about this?!" and it won't be the last, but seriously; why is no one actually mentioning this great show?

Uncle from another world (the English Title) is a uniquely comedic and very relatable TV show, and the modern touch as well as reference to Japanese pop culture makes it a great show.

I think the best way I can describe this is an Un-Isekai. It is not set in a fantasy world, so don't expect fantasy world building, but there is magic and whatnot in the show for fantasy fanatics. The voice of the main guy is also Dio's voice actor, so that makes it hilarious as well.

Reference to things like SEGA, Evangelion, and popular culture is hilarious from a more 80s/90s side, but the origin from a webcomic also makes this reference some dumb but funny modern stuff, like VTubers, Youtube and Tsunderes (AKA, all you sad people's lives) which make this show feel relevant and nostalgic consecutively.

I enjoy the gags, and while this isn't special or amazingly life changing, I will watch the episode each week, and I will, if the show carries on as it's started, thoroughly enjoy it!

This is a pretty dry season, so if you're looking for something to watch besides Classroom of the Elite S2 this is definitely a good candidate. Give it a watch!
