Uramichi Oniisan

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!

The show is perfect. He is working with kids, and the kids are asking him the most brutal questions "why are you so old and don't have kids", "hope and meaning in life"- not out of criticism or being a push over- but because they are kids and they don't know any better.

By confronting these questions without the easy way out that he does in his life with colleagues, family and friends, Uramichi has to look into itself and go through a journey. I am hooked!

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.

To be honest, I wanted to drop the show halfway through the first episode because I felt that it was somewhat dark, which was not what I wanted since the whole point of watching a comedy anime was to watch some meaningless goofy show to escape. BUT, I'm glad I didn't.

Unlike my initial thought about this anime, this show is more real than dark. They portray real life events that most of us go through in a very lighthearted and funny way. Its so relatable that you don't feel the need to "escape" real life but face it, and feel at ease kind off knowing that not only you whom goes through hardships. And as the last episode message entails that we can be happy even if nothing changed in our life. Really really enjoyed this one.

I would highly recommend.
