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 :)

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 anime is soo underated

this is one of the best comedy coming these past years...sadly people drop the series/or not pick it up because of the ojisan MC... they really missed out.

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!

One of if not the funniest anime I've seen. Excellent story with great characters and character-building.

It honestly boggles my mind that it has a mere 7.5 rating here. The cultural references to things such as video games, anime, and the internet is awesome.
