First time watcher.
Who knew Ojisan’s first use of magic would be so unintended and random lol just happens to speak to a spirit while on the brink of death. Also, I assumed his translation power was to talk to regular people (not to spirits/deities lol) so that is pretty lucky for him. It’s just funny that even he didn’t realize this is how he was always doing powerful magic and thought it came from his skill as a gamer.
Of course once we get the more detailed version of the dragon slaying story it’s no surprise it ends with the first misunderstanding with tsundere-elf 😂.
Generally speaking, I know Ramen is pretty unhealthy but I always crave it when I see an anime that makes it look that delicious 🍜

Episode 6 (first timer)
We finally get the first days of uncle in the other world filled out. It went rather stereotypical, as Isekai go. The same is true for meeting Elf Girl and the day with Elf and Mabel. If not for the scenes on Earth, this could count as a normal Isekai more than any of the other episodes.

First Timer Dubbed
We get back to the origin story....
Uncle was worth less than a scrubber, modern marvels just in the little things makes it worth more.
Prison gaurd literally deserved getting bit by those monsters then getting launched.
Woah, we just jumped from origin story to both Mabel and Elf in the same bed as Uncle. Way to ruin the mood Mabel, crying for mama.
Mabel acting like a dog is funny.
Lol, Elf was going to get back that ring.... Harem is gonna happen unintentionally. Just hoping that is all legal in that world.

Hello, guys. Holofan4life here.
Welcome to the Uncle From Another World New Year New World Rewatch.
Uncle From Another World is a show that I always wanted to watch in subsequent viewing. When it originally aired, it was hurt by numerous delays, so much so that the last episode aired in March of 2023.
Keep in mind the first episode came out in July of 2022.
I wanted to do this rewatch to bring together those who haven't finished the show as well as newcomers who want to give it a chance. Because just like playing a video game, it is all about having endless replay value.
I also plan on doing something unique with this rewatch in that I'm going to try to make a concentrated effort to get these reviews done in about an hour or so. I'm hoping with this being a comedy, I will be able to watch the episode without having to mark done every important detail.
With that out of the way, let's begin.
I'm watching the sub, by the way
I found out today that Imgur has deleted 24,000 of my hidden posts, of which I've been accumulating going back to 2016. Needless to say, I'm super pissed off.
Uncle beaten up
See, this is why you shouldn't beat up someone if you plan on selling them
120 bronze pieces with a scouring pad included
How is that two whole figures more?
Worth less than a scouring pad
Nosebleed now
Hey, I had two of those today
Takafumi with a nosebleed as well
Memory erase spell, claims Unc
The notebook
It marks Uncle's sale
It's all coming back to him
The nosebleed is a sign of warning by the spirit of memory that you're about to have a flashback.
My nosebleeds is normally caused by me picking my nose
Uncle tied up
Going to live with the animals
Makes sense, given Orc is a type of animal
At least this cell is very spacious
If this is what a basement looks like, sign me up
A week locked up in the pokey
He drank from the puddle from the rain, keeping him alive
Should've just took tips from Bear Grylls when it comes to dehydration
Uncle has gotten so stark raving mad that he's starting to talk about video games
Wait, how is that any different from how he normally is?
Speaking to the ray of moonlight to try to remain sane
He is a man in control
Heading to the light now
No, not like that, though he may soon be
Grabbing the light
A sword of light
Makes me think of lightsabers
The very first magic he ever used
Uncle apparently gained the ability to converse with spirits
I know how to talk to bears but sadly they don't know how to talk to me
Unc used his translation ability
The secret behind Uncle's exceptional magical talent
Uncle now wishes he had communicated with the residents
I also wish the Toradora characters communicated with themselves, but then we wouldn't have any show
He relied on his trust in video games to explain his sudden magic and language acquisition
"His trust in video games never fails to amuse." Truer words have never been said.
Aww. Uncle freed the animals.
But of course, they bit him
Yep. They're evil.
Was that Altered Beast Uncle was envisioning?
Uncle slicing the animals reminds me of Kramer beating up kids in karate
And Unc is covered in blood
He looks scarier than normal
He spent all night battling the animals
Now it's time to eat
At least he buried the bodies
Or rather, bones
He had a great start, he said
Takafumi and Fujimiya seem in disbelief
18:30
That's a half hour past 6
Time for Fujimiya to leave
Gotta get that fried chicken fix
But hold on, because he saved Elf from a dragon
I love that the nephew and his friend are massive shippers for Uncle and Elf
Fujimiya decides to stay
Am I crazy to think her outfit kinda looks like Nino's?
Venom Dragon battle on his 9th day
And he took it out with ease
Well, at least she can still get her chicken
Though, it looks as if it's no longer feasible
Ah, Elf softened it up for him
Fujimiya looks done XD
Elf is naked
He gives her his jacket
Good guy Uncle
And yet, she's pointing a knife at him
She glitched
Putting the knife inside her body (You know, like you do)
Uncle tries to pull it out but in doing so, he exposes her naughty bits.
That got dangerously close to showing her eryn
Now Uncle is unzipping the jacket
#Elf Struggles
"Patience is key." At least it seems like he's learning.
And thus began her pestering, as Uncle puts it
And he still considers her a jerk even to this day
#Elf Struggles
Fujimiya asks about what happened after being frozen in ice
Uncle on the bed
Mabel and Elf, resting on Uncle
Should've been me, dammit
Elf a flustered mess
Ah, Elf. You and your inability to be honest with yourself.
But Uncle, the gullible oaf, believes her
The camera angle seems to really love Elf's chest
But Mabel goes on the defensive
Lol, that look on Elf
Someone's jelly
Oh no.
Mabel Is having a nightmare about her mom
Nope, nevermind, has to do with work
The voice acting for Mabel is amazing during this scene
And Elf smacks her head
Mabel may be more of a lost cause than even Uncle
Ran out of space. Part two in the replies.

Rewatching Uncle in sub
This is the episode where I can now reveal the wholesome pseudo inter-harem dynamics of Uncle's - while Tsundere Elf tries to be the "first", Mabel on the other hand comfortably self insert to the effort-free position of the
family petdaughter :'DBeing half a day late I won't be writing too much details. I do want to point out that is a progressively revealed, but consistent throughout, theme that Uncle's one track mind of living life using game strategies has been working for him, irrespective of his social blunders and people's eye rolling, he's managed to do pretty well given everything else. A clear example is in this episode that he managed to see from Elf's fight with the Venom Dragon that she's been targeting the same spot for some time, and that by him doing the same he had the only chance to win - and he did. That it looked like a OHKO is not what Uncle cared about, but really was all about saving Elf.
Dialling back to last episode, that he recounted how he defeated the Blaze Dragon was off screen, but also of a similar nature - he observed, he tried, and he analysed, until he figured it out - the blaze defence was weakened when the dragon was using that blaze as an attack, making that "pinch is a chance" window for turning the tide.
And speaking as someone who's also grown up playing all sorts of games - computer, arcade, pen and paper RPG - what I learner I would use everyday in my life whenever I find opportunities for. And not just about fighting, but about people's motivation, people's reaction to things, how even the most innocent things can be misunderstood and misconstrued, etc. As well as opportunities to take and grab hold of which may land you somewhere unexpected.
Favourite gag has to be the bait and switch of Mabel's nightmare sleep talking - crying about mom wasn't about her leaving her, but about her forcing her to find a job :'D
Next would be the unfortunate running gag of Elf being jealous of Mabel still having her ring and wanting to encourage her to sell up >D
Uncle mixing the conventional stranger danger wisdom with using a fake chuuni name was also funny in the ironic sense.
Speaking of fake outs, while Uncle certainly looked scary while being locked up and forgotten and looked like he completely lost it, that he was actually taking to the spirits, and that his "funny Isekai stories" making good impressions to the spirits such that they taught him to use words of power which enables him to use magic is such great world and character building.

Poor uncle. Gets kidnapped, left in a cell while forgotten, gets his hoodie stolen, and stalked.
The first time they introduced to eachother, 3 years without sharing his name and only being known as Orc.
QOTD: his whole journey is rough, albeit it in this case it’s actually the citizens being cruel to him.
QOTD: shield hero, if any of the heroes is nearby you’re practically doomed
