Isekai ojisan (2022–2023)
1/10
Anime from Another World
1 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
So in 2000 a 17 old gamer kid was hit by a truck while he was going to buy a video game and therefore he was in a coma for 17 years. While he was in a coma he went to another world of classic fantasy world that has elves, magic and all the fantasy world cliches from old video games. Nothing new or interesting about it.

All this anime is about a person who got old but left behind in time so much he is still SEGA fanboi who considers it was the golden age of video gaming when SEGA still developed a video game console. He also uses some ancient cell phone just because it's cool for him even though it cannot even make a call, he is that old fashioned. Anime tries to show love for SEGA video game consoles and video games but in reality all it does is making SEGA, its fanbois, even gamers in general look bad. In that regard since they use SEGA's and its consoles' name without censoring or changing the name it indicates they were approved by SEGA and it also means SEGA was okay to make themselves look bad as in their fans are the garbage of society and gamers are weird people. That's what the anime is actually about when it's not busy with unrealistically perverted characters, especially women and that's all about it.

Story progression is all over the place. Until 6th episode nothing particularly happens and the same thing happens over and over again whether it's the same humor, same conversations and even the same story points, not to mention same reactions of people to same situations over and over again several times in each episode. It shows what happened, then what happened later and what happened before all this and what happened again and what happened later in detail and so on and imagine this cycle continues until 6th episode. Clearly whoever wrote the story had no idea what to wrote but wrote it as they wanted to add stuff but to get back into the story to progress in their own way they wanted to trigger the same events with the same triggers. In 6th episode anime start to show potential and after that story starts to progress but still nothing interesting actually happens. So after you watched 1st episode you can skip to 6th episode and you wouldn't miss anything important as 6th episode is kinda summary of the episodes between 1-6.

During the whole anime there are like 10 people but the whole anime revolves around 3 main people and they get boring so fast, especially the kid who expects his uncle to be a pervert as much as him and the anime tries to make being a pervert how everyone should be when anime is not busy making SEGA, its products and gamers look bad. Whoever wrote the story probably believes just because a girl looked at him she is in love with him and it's stupid to don't believe so. And because of how badly the characters and situations are written any kid who watches and likes it would start to have bad opinions about life, especially thinking gamers are equal to garbage people, it's a must thing to be a pervert as women just wait for you to "get in" so you have to rape them as it's what they want, any people who wears glasses is ugly especially when they have long hair. Not to mention how women characters are out of virgin male fantasy.

Humor and graphical style-wise it's clearly One Punch Man wannabe but they couldn't manage to actually make it funny. In fact there is no single thing to smile for anything in the anime.

Nothing in the anime is satisfying as the story didn't progress much and story-wise it seems like there has to be lots of stuff to happen for an ending as if they are releasing One Piece but even 13 episodes were too much for this anime. It would be better as a movie.

In short it's an anime from another world because it's not like any visual media I watched. Everything is so amateurish and they didn't care what people like, how to develop a visual media for the audience and all so they did their own thing and it was a mess. I only watched it just because a friend recommended it just because it's about SEGA video game consoles so I promised I'll watch it so we can talk about it and I kept watching it for the references. I don't think you would like it if you are not a fan of the genre, SEGA video game consoles and its games. But even then this anime made me consider burning my SEGA Genesis along with its games I didn't bother slamdunk into the nearest garbage bin. I stopped buying SEGA games just because how greedy they are years ago anyway. Now liking SEGA is a sign of you are a garbage person as it's how SEGA wants to be clearly LOL.
