Uncle from Another World (Japanese: 異世界おじさん, Hepburn: Isekai Ojisan) is a 2022 Japanese anime television series based on the web manga by Hotondo Shindeiru. It is animated by Atelier Pontdarc and directed by Shigeki Kawai. It aired from July 6, 2022 to March 8, 2023, with 13 episodes.
After his uncle awakens from a long coma with memories of another world, Takafumi discovers that the man can use magic. Their everyday life becomes a meeting point between otherworldly adventures and contemporary entertainment, as Takafumi helps his uncle navigate a world transformed during his absence. The series combines fantasy with comedy and parody, framing its isekai premise around an adult family relationship.
Premise
Takafumi Takaoka’s uncle, Ojisan, awakens from a coma after spending years in another world. He returns with memories of a life filled with magical experiences and abilities, but the world around him has changed during his absence. Takafumi visits him and learns that the stories of magic are more than claims: Ojisan can demonstrate supernatural powers.
The two begin sharing a home and tackling the gap between Ojisan’s experiences and contemporary life. Takafumi helps him catch up with modern technology and entertainment, while they establish a YouTube channel to show his magical abilities. The opening situation brings together family life, fantasy, and the comic contrast between an otherworldly past and present-day culture.

Ojisan is Takafumi Takaoka’s uncle, recently returned from another world with magical abilities. Takafumi helps him adjust to contemporary life.
