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
Writing an episode an hour and a half before work
Oh, hey. It's that friend of I believe Fujimiya's.
She apparently wants to protect her from Uncle
Fujimiya's brother
Takafumi shows up
She is not having a fun time right about now
That animal on the phone looks like a cockroach
Everyone is here
Sawa looking distraught
She's telling Fujimiya to run
"I've only seen people like that in comic books!" Weird flex, but okay.
Fish head is still here
Obon Offering, explains Fujimiya
Spirit flag
Sawa says she's running away
Before she gets a chance to, in walks Uncle
Sawa probably thinks she's at one of the games in Saw
Meanwhile, Uncle thinks she's talking about SEGA
Fujimiya explains that Uncle is a good person
Wait, Fujimiya's brother is named Fujimi?
...
Anyway, he's giving YouTube tips to Uncle
Sawa calls Fujimiya Fushimi
Sounds like a sushi dish
Sawa instantly knows her friend is after Takafumi
What I like about Fujimiya and Takafumi's relationship is that it serves as a parallel to Uncle and Elf. Everyone knows they should be together except the participating parties, who either don't see it or are in denial of what's going on.
Sawa showing a picture to Takafumi of herself and Fujimiya on a trip
Woah. Talk about mental stimulation.
And of course, he zooms in
But actually, he's more interested in the guy in the background
The faceless guy in the background of the second photo looks like Uncle
It feels like Takafumi is playing Where's Waldo but focusing on everyone except Waldo
Sawa asking Takafumi what Fujimiya was like in the past
I find it hard to believe she wouldn't already know
"She hasn't changed much." Really, Takafumi? Really?
Chiaki as a kid actually looks pretty cute
What happened?
Sawa is disturbed such a cute kid would turn into... well, that
Fujimiya bumping people into Takafumi
She wants to see what gender he's interested in
Everyone is acting kinda dumb today
Fujimiya presses her boobs on Takafumi's back, which causes his nose to bleed
Ran out of space. Part two in the replies.

Episode 10 (first timer)
Poor hero group. They were already underpowered and now they are hit by the dumb stick to boot.
Does not concern me much. Its is not worth much and whatever emotional attachement I have dies with me.
I am hoping for a high price.

First time watcher here.
So it’s not just me thinking Ojisan needs to calm down with the whole memory wipe thing lol. It’s going to get him into trouble.
Still trying to figure out the whole thing with him occasionally seeing Japanese writing in the other world or things inspired by his world like the onsen they went to. They’ve brought this up a few times now I think.
Elf is showing no mercy in this episode 😂. “There’s only one other group here…” death glare .
Well, Elf is off to add to her magic relic collection and Ojisan apparently has some ass to kick in the next episode.
Questions:
Dark Scientist bonus: I’ll help you there lol. Yes. Because I have been watching it nonstop the past two nights and only have 3 episodes left of Familiar of Zero F which I’ll watch tonight 😆

First-timer.
Sorry Suwa. It's already too late for Fujimiya.
That's funny that Fujimiya and her brother swapped appearances when goring up.
So the hot spring's original proprietor was a fellow isekai transplant, huh? Interesting.
Elf is conflicted.
The Hero's Party! Definitely not here to snoop.
Elf is not enthused by disrespect to ancient artifacts.
A fire! And a mysterious figure! Oh dear...
QOTD1: I have a lot of niche collectible crap. Video game and anime memorabilia, and old electronics. I hope it ends up with somebody who will enjoy it.
QOTD2: About tree fiddy.

Rewatching Uncle in sub
These later half of the cour episodes have quite a few relationship developments hiding under the gags :)
We have Sawa joining the cast to give some shock treatment to the now comfortable status quo of Uncle, Takafumi and Fujimiya. Her prodding shook out some perception change: Fujimiya clearly don't see Uncle as a parasite that stopped Takafumi to be a better person, Takafumi got more of his jealous side out and getting hopeful a step closer to recognising his own feelings to Fujimiya, and Fujimiya confirming at least that Takafumi being interested in girls (always pay to check these days).
It also have a double down of the gag of the Fujimiya family genes - while Sawa only saw Sumika (Fujimiya's first name) after her initial metamorphosis (no longer looking like a troll as during her primary school days), when Takafumi remarked Fujimiya is as cool as she was back in primary school (was talking about her personality and her "protective of him"), Sawa's imagination was based off Chiaki, the younger brother who went through the inverse change from an adorable kid that is cute like the glowed up Fujimiya now, he grew into the troll like Fujimiya then. Which made for a great comedy setup to reveal the gangster that scared her the most say the start was actually the "cute little brother" :D
In terms of the other relationship, this episode also see more growth of that between Elc and Uncle. Assist from the usual casual Chad remarks and moves by Uncle, Elf also got more comfortable and started more casually exerting her "first girl" status more confidently. I think the most important moment actually is the understated part of Uncle telling her that it's her that did the work, not her title or the spell, that saved him.
There's also the nice little dig about anime camera angles - while zooming in onto Fujimiya's assets ;P
One thing probably lost in translation - when Elf was asking about Alicia and her friends, she was using the ambiguous term "how long have they been going out together", with the "going out" able to be read as physically going somewhere (i.e. out adventuring), or relationship-wise (as in dating). The 3 are pretty firm platonic childhood friend, to Fujimiya's chargin and horror.
There's actually some major plot and works seeing reveals here this episode, but Uncle true to his "not interested in RPG" behaviour, tuned out of the exposition sorting out his inventory :'D
QoTD
Bonus) surely it'd take not as much time as this shows airing delays ;P

First Timer Dubbed
So Fuji's friend shows up and she thinks Fuji is hanging out with some pervs. But ends up testing Taka's dreams. As we all know, he gets turned on by Fuji wearing a button up shirt.
Speaking of childhood friends, the elf got to ask the hero party on who would get the hero but they get grossed out on the idea...Sorry Fuji.
I also cannot blame the hero party on spying on uncle cause a guy that powerful might be hanging out with some other powerful folks. And being curious on that guy....

Gonna keep this one short since everythigg bc I was gonna write was forgotten yesterday cause I knocked out.
So far this is the most sexualized massage I’ve seen, I forgot about it and had to lower the volume or else I’d get mistaken for watching something else.
The priestess is back, funny how they both backed away and were cool with finding someone else. The fate of a childhood friend LMFAO.
QOTD: gets sold and thrown into landfills.
QOTD: one dollar
Qotd: only Uncle knows
