jjk scan 241 vfc airsoft stamped from the beginning cast
I’d be exaggerating if I said Isekai Ojisan is the funniest isekai I’ve ever seen, but I simply can’t get enough of its dry, meta humor. Paired with a relatively drab setting and a daffy soundtrack (complete with the goofy ukulele bend), the timing and delivery of the uncle’s lines are just awesome. He manages to look extremely incel-y but has the most dawg-esque personality you could ask for. Despite being infuriatingly dense, unintelligent, and kind of creepy, that man is certainly the star of this season. In fact, the livelihood of the show thrives on this fact, making use of the uncle’s utter stupidity and inability to read social cues to set up funny and interesting situations.
Though the rest of the cast is relatively flat (even the uncle can’t be called dynamic), they’re all quirky and fun to watch. Considering that the main focus of the work is on its comedy, any and all lack of development is completely passable in my opinion. On a similar note, I would comment on how the “story” is lacking (with little of note having really happened), but considering that the aim of the work is to narrate a chill retrospective on the isekai shabang, I see no outstanding issues there.
The art style is very attractive in its grainy feel, and it manages to capture the isekai action + slice of life comedy well in their respective parts. The animation itself is relatively conservative, saving sakuga for the punchlines, magic spells, and heavy action scenes in the show. While it’s unfortunate that the overall product’s visuals weren’t more fluid, I think that whatever we got is certainly up to par at the least.
