For years, the Isekai genre has been a staple of anime, but Netflix’s new series Uncle from Another World turns the genre on its head. This beautifully crafted anime is a must-watch for all anime fans and is sure to leave you in splits as soon as you start watching it. However, the plot of the anime seems to be a little mysterious, with the title not giving much clue as to what to expect from the show.

But don’t worry. We are here to guide you through this incredible anime that must be on your watch list this August.

What is Uncle From Another World about?

Isekai translates as another or other world for the uninformed. Protagonists in this genre are frequently transported, summoned, or resurrected into a fantasy realm replete with swords and sorcery. Whatever way the characters arrive in this strange realm, they are swiftly lured into tales of adventure, peril, intrigue, and other high fantasy themes. What if the protagonist returns to their previous life? asks Uncle from Another World. What is the answer? Hilarity

Yosuke Shibazaki is the lead of the show. After waking up from a 17-year coma, he finds himself in Japan in 2017. Technology and culture have evolved to the point that the modern world is as alien to him as the magical world he abandoned. Takafumi Takaoka, Yosuke’s nephew, initially arrives to educate his newly awakened uncle of the harsh realities of contemporary life, only to learn that his uncle’s mad rants about his isekai exploits were all genuine.

Takaoka, Shibazaki’s nephew, plays the straight guy and reacts flawlessly to his uncle’s ignorance and trials. The gags come at you hard and quick, which is typical of manzai humor. The visual jokes, misunderstandings, and everyday applications of the magical talents of Uncle from Another World will have you in stitches.

Is the show currently streaming on Netflix?

Hotondoshindeiru is the writer and illustrator of the series, which Kadokawa Shoten publishes. The Netflix series is now simulcasting in Asia, with a two-week delay in the global distribution. The first five episodes of Uncle from Another World are currently streaming and are classified TV-MA.
