| This first episode hurt to watch from second hand embarrassment for oji-san. Never have I felt that way with a series that uses dry humor in serious situations. So far, Oji-san proves to his nephew that he was in fact in another world and maintained magic powers from the previous world but when oji-san shows his nephew the memories of his 17 year trek, he can't help but be awkward at how dense oji-san was. Also, these guys really name dropped SEGA, Sony and Nintendo must have took effort to get the rights lol. The feeling so far of this series is more about reflection of an isekai instead of actual isekai, in fact it's more of a reverse isekai now. Good episode so far but I hope this keeps the consistency up. |
| watching a truck run immediately was.. oh, no, wait. internet and mobile phones were a little different in the year 2000... this poor guy is probably still very upset for the poor sales of Dreamcast, the last console ever produced by his beloved Sega "my first love was at elementary school" and it shows Sonic & Tails... cool. It also had the actual music. Hope he also likes Knuckles. "The concepts of tsunderes became popular around 2004", ok, understandable, he couldn't be aware of it unless he already saw Neon Genesis Evangelion or Ranma 1/2. He also missed Kaname Chidori for just a couple of years, sad. And... Naru Narusegawa? Nice, the thrill of an online auction, even if it is something that already existed back then. And cool that he wins and makes up for delivery expenses like that. Suggested by one of my two best friends, this has a lot of potential. |

| Pretty good start, the humor is well done and really entertaining. |
 |
| That was entertaining throughout even though every joke was just based on dry humour. Interesting enough to continue for sure. |
| *Truck runs a red light* Nephew is ok. Yesss Takehito Koyasu voices Uncle. Having to adjust to 17 years of technological and societal change, learning what haters and those that call you a faker are. Oh Elf is voiced by Asuna's VA... Nephew recognises the elf as a Tsundere but Uncle does not (though I can remember some key examples before Uncle got coma'd) Sure had a hard time because of constantly getting misidentified as an Orc variant. Tried to be Dr. Stone but the villagers accused him of blasphemy. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Great mixed of genres and the humour how base!!! kekeke Great Uncle!!! |
| Rewatching it to prepare in a couple of weeks the anime will be back. Just noticed how the nurse and Elf kind have the same hair colour    |

 |
| this was unexpectedly genius. the comedy is awesome and i'm not sure who's supposed to be the straight man here. |
 |
Lol I thought the same thing during my rewatch. She does kinda look like the elf. A lot of the female characters look a bit similar. In a good way, though. This anime has a very distinctive character design artstyle for females. The faces almost look like lizards. 😂 In a cute way. |

| Why I never heard about this anime. It's so fucking good and refreshing lol |
 |
| Finally watched episode one and it's absolutely hilarious! I can't wait to see how the story goes from here and also to see some more wacky stuff. Very good first episode, hopefully it stays good. |
| Ayooo... WTF why is this so funny? I should've started it earlier. But, better late than never. I love the uncle and how oblivious he is. |
 |
| I have already seen multiple smaller reactions videos for multiple episodes of this anime and have wanted to watch it ever since a few episodes were out, but then I heard the final episodes got delayed so I never got to watch it, but now with only the final episode left to be released I finally gave in and this is as enjoyable as I thought it would. Very funny and different, hopefully the final episode will come around before I finish ep12! |
 |
| Resubscribed to Netflix after being away for a year and went straight to this title first. One thing that struck me during this episode: In the hospital, he has to use Japanese for his spells to work, but later in the apartment he is using the other world's language again. I feel like either I missed something or it was omitted. |
| This was fucking good I really like the setting and characters I cant wait to also watch the other episodes. |
| This is pretty fun, normal world settings but with a guy that keeps his isekai powers, and his personality is quite hilarious to be honest, especially how he's obsessed with SEGA xD |
 |
| Suddenly, this returned as a full series on Netflix and even more surprisingly with italian dub (made in the capital city, it almost never happens now). Another good reason to re-watch. And at least the pilot is as funny as i remembered. |
|
| Damn that's rough. Being called an orc variant cause he's not as handsome as them. It's pretty fucked to say the least how he was treated. But this serious is pretty funny too |
Undefeated  Bahamut |
| Quite the refreshing take on what has now become an oversaturated genre. 34-year old Ojisan sure lived a rough life on the other side but still could not prepare him for the harsh truth on his first love SEGA.. |
 |
| I'm dying of third hand embarrassment. I know this is a comedy about the Uncle being dumb, but this is getting Rent-a-girlfriend levels of painful. |
| Cucumber ice cream is the best! |
| It was okay. The humor works. But I wonder what the story will be about at this point. This shouldn't be the case at the end of the first episode. I fear the story will take place in the normal world, with some characters from the isekai visiting. Not sure how I like this premise. But so far I'm willing to watch. Edit: What it will be about, and where it will take place, are two different things. The story has not established itself yet. And if it did, the premise seems super weak. This is why I hope it will establish itself in the next episode. Better late than never. |
| Great and funny first episode |
 |
| The opening scene with all mighty Truck-kun got me good lol. Damn Oji-san's dense asf, that elf tsundere seems like fun tho :p |
| Haha, that was fun to watch! Very promising start. As much as I dislike isekai shows, I can already say that this one is gonna be an exceptional show. Exceptionally good, that is. ;-) |
| Starting off strong. Just as its source did. |
