As a reader of this mangá i found the comedy kind of boring compared to the original work because i didn't feel like laughing but it must be because they compiled the chapters i can't say exactly, i just hope it gets better. And i didn't understand why the visuals of some characters changed and i also found some voices very different from what i imagined

Yes i'm being pretty critical because it was one of my favorite comedy manga that i always laughed at but unfortunately this adaptation episode didn't make me laugh

Maybe you don't laugh at the same jokes twice, or then it really was mediocre for you.

As a fan of dark humor, I think it's badly done here.

All the jokes lead to the same "adulthood/life sucks, pity me" punchline.

There's no sense of variety and they might as well had been repeating the same one joke endlessly throughout the episode.


came here to say the same. it feels so uncreative. a shame because adulthood and midlife crisis is unrepresented in anime . I think some people just praise this beacuse its the only thing we are getting once in a while.

Well there aren’t many geniuses like Kumeta Kouji but yeah, it’s pretty subpar for a dark comedy.

VA's good - Anime - Meh...

Not dark enough, repetitive, not sure they can spin "adult life sucks" out for 12 episodes.

Hmmmmm, interesting idea, should be comedy gold, but just didn't find it funny, gonna pass on this one.

Honestly didn’t know what to expect and I like this. At first the comedy wasn’t hitting me but as it went along it gave me a good chuckle and it has noticeable voice actors that I’ve heard quite a bit.

Really liked the comedy, it's the fun and relaxing kind of show I wanted to watch. The humor centering around adult depression and burnout is quite relatable honestly lol

The first half was good and gave me a couple of smiles(not laughs). And then came hilarious voice acting of Iketeru. That laugh made me cry! I feel dumb to laugh at it but oh boy it was the most realistic laugh I have ever heard in anime. Legendary Voice Actors, Great Comedy

I know right! His laughter was super realistic and contaigous LOL

maybe the fact that i can't understand japanese and have to rely 100% on te subs made some of the jokes fall flat for me, but the Iketeru guy laughing will make me give a second chance (even though I didn't quite get the joke).

This is a tragic eulogy to all the "boys and girls" who are now adults!

So ...millennials? lol

It's funny because it seems like sometimes MC's "dark" dialogue is only between him and the kids while the production staff is oblivious to what's going on. The director going along with all of it just makes it more funnier hahah.

Highly relatable show, I think I might stick with this one for now.

I gave it a try and I guess this is for a different audience. Felt very forced at times and seemed to lack structure. It's not like it's not entirely unrelatable. But wasn't al that interesting the way the show flowed.

I normally try to do the 3 episode rule before I really decide to drop or continue watching but I'm going to just drop it here.

Even though it was not for me I hope those the do enjoy it have fun!

I like Kamiya Hiroshi, but he really takes the humour out of Uramichi. And, the fact that Miyano Mamoru, who could have played the character, is right there!! What a waste!

Anyway, this was still funny. The story of adults who failed in life. haha

I was slightly surprised that the guys inside the costumes looked so hot. lol

Daga Iketeru's jokes are puns, I guess. It will be very hard to translate those.

Woah. Never expected this kind of show get a full duration. I thought it will be max at 11. But, that's it! The comedy really hit and miss, honestly. However, the kids and their pure face really created such a good mood to balance what i feel. Uramichi is a very lucky dude. Too bad he couldn't handle his stress. Because, its hard. Sugita also there too. Then those shimoneta dude. Okay, this is a mess, on a good way, i think....

Please don't punch me, oniisan!

So, pretty much commander Levi didn't make it in the final season of that other series and reincarnated in a modern society with a guy who's dead inside and can't stand his own job and life.

I'm on the fence on this one. I do like these kind of 2 faced characters, but plenty of the jokes just didn't have either the well enough buildup or the punchline just sucked, along with the timming. I'm ok with Uramichi or any other character being mean while off camera, but I didn't find it funny or cute when Uramichi was straight mean to the kids, even if they didn't get his references.

If Uramichi was more like Krusty the Clown, who was a complete two face but it managed to wow the kids and keep his boozing, gambling and love for bombastic asses magazines away from the kids, I would certainly find Uramichi's sad lonely life funny, and not just plain sad.

As many have mentioned, the lack of variety with the leading punchline of "adult life sucks" gets tiresome quite fast.

I'll give the three episode rule to this one.

Hard to get on the first 6 minutes, but lasting to one episode grasp the idea of this anime, easy watch series with no real story behind. Great filler anime when there's nothing else interesting to watch.

The art quality reminds me as early as '08 which looks heavily budget, but the the ED song is subtlety cool.

I’m not sure if I’ll end up liking this much going forward because it’s so depressingly relatable. I guess the only thing I may have liked was another female character to cling on to the hope that Uramichi could find someone for him, but alas that isn’t the case.

holy crap... why is the seiyuu line up so stacked. This is insane lol.

They definitely improve my experience. Especially sugita lol. I just can't help but imagine gintoki being under the bear and it's hilarious.

But for the most part, the depressing style of comedy isn't really my type of thing. I can't really relate to the whole sad lifestyle thing but I guess the show does what it attempts to do well enough

Ok, I'll call it this early in the season: This is my AOTS.
I came into the show with high expectations but I honestly didn't expect laughing this much. This anime is way too relatable.
Plus the cast is just *chef's kiss*... Mamo's laughter alone was hilarious!

This anime really shows the bitterness of adult life lol. I liked how Uramichi answers to Miki's question about why he's 31 but not married yet :"D

Not all the scenes were funny but the comedy was very relatable for sure and I laughed because of it... ugh adult life!!! seriously funny and ironic, hahaha.

The seiyuus line up are amazing and both the song and the visuals on the ED are great.

That was amazing lmao, though I can kinda see it getting stale if they keep doing the same thing, so I hope that is not the case. Either way I'll still definitely enjoy this show a lot. The voice actors in this show are stacked.

I laughed so hard at the Richard Feynman joke, it wouldn't have been as funny if it weren't for Kamiya Hiroshi and Mamoru Miyano's delivery, that was so good lmao. Really looking forward to more "Depression with Maman".

ED was a bop though damn, I really liked the retro vibes of it.

I got the jokes and laughed hilariously after watched it 2nd time (since the subs is fast and english is not my 1st language), even came to like the ost.

I agree with some comment here : it'll be boring if the joke is repetitive (e.g. osomatsu-san).
But the manga readers says it is a good manga, so let's see.

Also, i'll have my hope as low as i can, since SOL's not as popular as action genre.

I loved this, his contrast between his smiley facade with his extremely unstable one is getting me. It's like all expectations for how a normal person would have answered are completely gone.

That guy's laugh was contagious while our main character's expression listening to it is dead funny!

I love this kind of dark humor! As someone who works with kids, I feel an acute empathy for Uramichi Onii-san cause the dark and gloomy side of me wants nothing more than to be set free when I have to pretend to be cheerful and enthusiastic for the little ones. This is such a lighthearted yet honest depiction of those daily glum moods you get sometimes.

I already love Iketeru Onii-san with his inappropriate dirty humor and bordering on stupid personality hidden behind the face of an ikemen. The dick joke was hilarious because it was just so immature and Uramichi got such a kick out of rubbing it in until Iketeru couldn't go on air haha
