Uncle from Another World

What is Uncle from Another World?

Uncle from Another World mixes family comedy with fantasy fallout as Takafumi reconnects with an uncle who claims his coma hid a life in another world. The show gets much of its charm from watching that unbelievable past collide with present-day habits, technology, and pop culture.

​Seventeen years ago, Takafumi's uncle fell into a coma, but now he's back like a man risen from his grave. Soon, Takafumi discovers two bizarre things: His uncle treasures video games above all else, and, while comatose, he was actually transported to another world as some heroic guardian! Now, not only does Takafumi have to room with an uncle who is literally magical, he also has to catch the guy up on two decades of history—smartphones, high-speed internet, modern anime tropes…and the traumatic outcome of the '90s console war!
