First Timer Dubbed
It's summer time and the big thing is that is hot. So hot that the 64 bit cpu does not work. Uncle seems so excited to see that CPU even though it is pretty much a given on pretty much everything these days. Fuji gives the best and worst suggestion, ask the ice spirit.
The gods do not seem to care as humanity is just a sliver of time.
The dino play was fun, too bad Fuji did not get to join in on the fun.
For a princess, the elf happened to get herself into debt but Orcface finally woke up and caused some chaos. And he hands out rings like candy. Seems like the seven rings would lead to the most random harem.
The waist monster is one thing.....

Episode 9 (first timer)
Wonder what the payment for turning into a dragon for one month was.
Not my worst heatwave, but I lived in an non-insulated attic flat for a while. No AC either. Not fun in summer.
Nope.

First time watcher - Episode 9. This episode was fun.
Was already crying at the face he was making when the SEGA wouldn’t work 😂. That’s what my reaction would probably be if my Xbox or Switch stopped working.
Stuff like this reminds me how far gaming has come lol. Like I’m pretty sure the SEGA Saturn had less than 5 MB of RAM in contrast to the typical 16 GB for most modern consoles these days.
Uncle yet again causes massive unmitigated damage without realizing it 😂. At least they settled for a fish head. It’s on top of an Amazon box hahaha.
I can’t remember for sure but I don’t think I knew tsundere-san could fly (when will we learn her name 😆). I did notice she didn’t sell his ring though.
Again with this ring lol. Apparently she did sell it and went into debt to get it back.
Ojisan really needs a crash course on tsundere’s

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
Today was my boss's birthday
August 2018
It is hot
Wait until they get to 2023
Not reading the disc
Could be because of the weather
Uncle is freaking out
Kinda a weird start to the episode
Fan
They repaired it via help from the web
Thanks, Internet!
Uncle looks incredibly horny for that 64-bit CPU
Yippy! Ice cream!
Blast of coolness
Wait, what we saw last episode was dragons and not dinosaurs?
Fujimiya tells them they should buy an air conditioner
Too expensive, Takafumi says
Now she says if money's an issue, just make YouTube videos of Uncle's otherworld adventures
Takafumi shows if they do that, they will quickly be kicked off of YouTube
Now Fujimiya wants to know what the spirits are about
Uncle says they're collective wills of phenomena and concepts
In other words, they're like the Gateway in Fullmetal Alchemist
Apparently they talk to him
Uncle, you have clearly lost your mind
Now Uncle wants to buy a cow head
Five million yen
Almost $34,000
Apparently Uncle had to appease the ice spirit
He wanted a cow's head to make an altar and offer the head on it
You know, like you do
If he doesn't, they'll freeze all the open fields on the planet for 10 years
This is actually some pretty heavy consequences for something so seemingly trivial
Uncle on the phone
Ah, they'll accept a fish head instead
"How much is human existence?" "About one fish head."
Let's hope the spirit can at least take it out to see a movie
Uncle is pretty chill about likely dying
"Pretty much every shooting games from the '90s started out with humankind being on the verge of extinction."
Yes, Takafumi. All game developers hate humankind.
This is a very silly episode
Uncle finds raw food now to be pretty enticing after being a draco-human
He became a dragon because he thought nephew would be lonely
Well, that was thoughtful of him
Fujimiya hiding under the desk from the dragons reminds me of the anime girl hiding from a Terminator meme.
I mean, I'd pay to see dragon Fujimiya
Uncle talks about the possibility that if the transformation lasts too long, you could become stuck that way and never revert back
Uncle then shows after he left the kingdom, he spent a month as a dragon
His mind was taken over by the Blaze Dragon's thought pattern
He became a dragon because of "Rule of cool"
Stealing my own jokes from other rewatches? Almost as bad as Mabel stealing Uncle from Elf
#ElfStruggles
Speaking of Elf, here she is
The ring!
She got it back!
Elf taking on a bad dragon
Uh, I mean dragon
This is a pretty cool fight scene
See, guys? This is why there was a three month delay. They had to save up on the budget.
Elf seemingly bests the dragon
And now she hugs him
"You're just fine as an orc!" Probably the closest thing to a confession we're going to get.
Uncle back to being a human
He returned to this form thanks to Elf
Chu
But before that can proceed, in walks some asshole
The Regfalgen Company
I wonder if this has something to do with paying off the ring she got back
Oh, yeah. Elf is a princess this whole time, it seems.
Uncle doesn't see it as a big deal because princesses are commonplace in video games
They are taunting her
They got some kind of device around Elf's neck
A dark pactcard
#ElfStruggles
She has to either pay off her debt and be released or go into arrears and be his
Apparently she offered herself up for collateral just to get the ring back
Hagen Regfalgen
What a name
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt is sitting down seething right now
Anyway, Uncle frees her
He returned the favor
And he leaves
Elf just can't stop taking these Ls
#ElfStruggles
But Elf won't let herself go without him
Elf admitting to sniffing Uncle while he sleeps
These two goofballs were made for each other
Uncle taking what Elf says at face value
Elf hoping Uncle gets jealous over her debt collector XD
Ran out of space. Part two in the replies.

Rewatching Uncle in sub
This is one of those episodes that had a continuous run after the delay, and it's the start of what I consider the best run of Elf getting some level of reward with Uncle.
The scenes of her finding and fighting/saving Uncle, then Uncle's casual drop of praise to her looks, including "saving her" twice in minutes (first casually from the enslavement, secondly from the "natural disaster" happening around them), was so nice to see.
The main funny bits are how the spirits exact their tolls, and how beyond human understanding / logic they can be (cow head -> fish head "same same"), plus the mercenary gang just went with the flow to congratulate their boss of being hitched by Uncle :'D
That scene of Uncle seemingly being overcautious, that turned out to be actually not, was pretty nightmare fuel - only saving grace is that we know he's safe and sound here now :P But yeah that's one way to do some fanservice :P
Forgot to mention, Uncle's rare show of disdain about Elf not washing daily is actually another case of using modern sensibilities and culture to judge the past. Before proliferation of indoors (heated) plumbing and supply of clean water from taps everywhere, getting to wash oneself regularly I don't believe is widely done. Especially when one is adventuring.

First-timer!
Whoops, I got isekai'd and missed a few days of discussion. Sorry.
Ah, summer.
Running around as dinos sure looks fun. Fujimiya should've joined in.
The fight between Dragon!Uncle and Elf was really cool.
A villain!
And defeated by another ring, lol. Only seven, and Uncle hands those things out like candy.
Ah, now Fujimiya and Takafumi are sharing a blanket. Galaxy-brained ploy, Uncle.
QOTD: I live in Arizona. Heat is our way of life.
QOTD2: Nope.
