Uramichi Oniisan

In the studio of the morning childrens' show "Together with Mama," a crew of miserable adults prepares their facades of amicable smiles and cheerful exteriors to educate a group of innocent preschoolers. In the middle of it stands Uramichi Omota, a former gymnast who can't help but bring the kids down to earth by revealing the harsh and depressing reality of adulthood, even in front of the rolling cameras.

Behind the scenes, Uramichi's much-desired peace is disturbed by his two bothersome juniors who work as the show's rabbit and bear mascots and singers: Utano Tadano, a woman who only wishes to get married; and Iketeru Daga, a handsome man with a crass sense of humor. From smoking and exercising to nihilistic outbursts, everyone's big brother Uramichi always brings up the not-so-moral side to his life lessons.

If I could share my home screen picture widgets and keyboard wallpaper, that itself would have summed up on how I feel about Uramichi Oniisan. Uramichi-san, Marry Me.

Basically an anime about the daily life of a working class adult, but with a touch of realism (instead of the goofy comedy trope). You wake up, got to work, eat, go home. 5 times a week excluding weekends except the typical involuntary UNPAID overtime when the boss calls you up asking, which the answer will always be Yes, that he needs help.

"Ah for the company, it is our duty as a hard working employee to make ... sure the company prosper in good will!" as we exclaimed with our coworkers knowing the boss is listening in the background, while inside we are screaming wishing death to reap our souls.

(is this a review or am I just complaining about life?)

Well if you are a working civilian with similar habits as the characters, you will definitely enjoy the anime. Like hey, we all need a comfort show that can represent our frustrations towards work-life, this is it.

All-while the struggles to mask a smile while lying to our feelings. In order to not only please those we are working with but also the kids we are responsible to work with for the day. Dealing with stubborn co-workers or those who gossip behind our backs. The characters are amazing to put up such a front in the workplace.

Amazing? "We're just being professional, there's nothing to gloat about. It's all for survival in order to live in this society that cares more about representation rather than our feelings." is what Uramichi taught me :D And more about the true harsh reality of life is what he teaches the kids he works with. Although Uramichi is depressing most of the time, he admits the kids can be a shinning star in his mist. The rest of the characters he works with are as interesting, although sometimes they can be a bother, Uramichi is as caring as can be when dealing with them.

That's all from me. By the way the guy is RIPPED kyaaaaaaaa XD

"this guy is nothing more than a boring man that has nothing going on in his life except his obsession with working out 24/7" -Uramichi's coworkers last words

Mixed Feelings

This is a hard one to write but definitely give this a watch if youre a seiota (seiyuu otaku) like me lol. In the anime we got hella loads of famous seiyuus (check above), but ofc the plot is not all that impressive. I did get a few good laugh or two but that's it. Nothing special about this but if you're bored and have nothing else to watch like me, yeah you can watch it to waste your time but if you're looking for something meaningful, there's not much to find in this anime tbh. I wouldn't really classify it as SoL tbh cause ... there's not much character depth and development, the plot doesnt really go anywhere and the humor is sometimes there, sometimes not really.

Watched this because of Mamoru Miyano's laughter scene.
13 episodes of wasted time...

I am amazed that they had such an amazing cast of seiyuus and yet the anime is so plain and not funny.
I really cannot express how disappointed I am in this show.

The story might seem unique and interesting, prone to have awesome jokes, but no story development or good jokes follow after whatsoever.
The art is okay, I mean it is nothing special and not bad either.
The characters were meh. They had cool backstories but again, never developed.
The characters might have been seen realistic but again, nothing was done with that.
