Isekai Ojisan

After a fatal encounter with a truck, Takafumi Takaoka's uncle, Yousuke "Ojisan" Shibazaki, lies comatose for 17 years. When he finally regains consciousness, Ojisan begins to ramble in a foreign tongue and reveals that he had been transported to a magical world called Gran Bahamal. Takafumi dismisses his uncle's claims as nonsense until an incantation makes a cup of water hover in the air. In a flash of brilliance, the pair creates a YouTube channel to showcase Ojisan's magical abilities.

The responsibility now falls on Takafumi's shoulders to acquaint Ojisan with everything that has transpired during his absence, including getting him up to speed with the internet, new technology, and surprisingly, the outcome of the '90s console war—the result of which was especially distressing for a hardcore SEGA fan. With Ojisan's wisdom from his other world experiences, they grow their YouTube channel and tackle online comments and trolls. The journey of this uncle-nephew duo promises to be anything but conventional.

Ok, here we go for the nineteenth time:

Characters:
-Principals: The only thing special there is the uncle-nephew relationship (5/7).
-Secondaries: I love them in spite of everything (2/3).

Logic: (Tolerance for being a comedy anime).
Those who haven't seen the anime should prepare themselves for almost nonsensical scenes like seeing the main characters transforming into “dragons”. (7/10)

Entertainment (Personal):
... There were only 2 episodes that I felt the plot moved forward in a rushed manner; but I loved the rest of the episodes.(9/10)

The basics in an anime:
-Animation: I think for scoring in this section I looked more at the waifus (2/2).
-Music: In my opinion, one of the best OP of an isekai anime if I compare it with others according to music and animation. (1/2)
-Vice: It's a gripping plot despite being a comedy (2/2).
-Tag fulfillment: “Ecchi” was missing. 🗣 (1/2)
-Ending: Nothing out of the ordinary (I think), just need a second season (1/2).

Plot development (or initial premise):
I hope someday they stop interrupting the romantic developments (like for the finale).(7/10)

Personal Reflection (Clearly personal):
I'm okay with anime that at the end doesn't leave me with an existential crisis that lasts 1 week.(3/10)

Comments:
This is almost like watching a regular isekai, only they parody the stereotypical characters of this genre and let me have a break from the otherworldly story, plus I like the essence of the “harem” that the guy is forming.
I don't have a favorite waifu because I couldn't decide, but I just hope the guy can, although I wouldn't dislike a harem ending so much.
By the way, speaking of the ending, I'd rather have this all end in that dreamed second season of 24 episodes because I don't think this story will be enough for anything else. (Mind you, let them finish the episodes on time this time).

Final score: 8.0.


(Note: As I'm very tolerant of anime, my minimum score for all of them is currently 4).

Mixed Feelings

I didnt expect much but at least had some hope that would be at least around average or slightly above and i was right...

It will give you a couple laughs here and there but nothing more than that
While Isekai Ojisan offers a unique twist on the isekai genre, its reliance on humor and character interactions over action or world-building may not be for everyone. The pacing can feel slow at times, and the focus on comedy and slice-of-life elements might not hold the interest of seeking a more dynamic or action-packed story. Although the dynamic between Ojisan and Takafumi adds some
charm, the series lacks ... the depth and excitement many expect from an isekai, making it an enjoyable but ultimately average experience.

A solid 6/10, worth watching if you’re a fan of laid-back humor, but not a standout in the genre.

Not Recommended

The label "Isekai" has become synonymous with " it gets me an anime deal" in Japan or something; because without it, this series would have not gotten one.

This series was so bad that the TV network had to lie about the delays to protect the studio.


Reflecting on the title, if you change the title to: "I Found Out My Uncle is a Wizard," absolutely nothing changes. The adventures in the "other world" could easily be substituted with mundane occurrences from the uncle's life as a young wizard, and the impact would remain unchanged.

It's a missed opportunity for meaningful storytelling and a disappointing execution ... of a potentially intriguing concept.
