| THIS IS SO FREAKN' RELATABLE. When iketeru was holding the watch but was still asking about the time, Me: by any chance...is he like me...?  OH SHIT, THAT'S ME. When someone asks me about the time cuz they saw my wristwatch. I take like 2-3 minutes and it's so embarrassing, so I just move my hand towards them so that they can see it themselves. I know it doesn't make it less embarrassing. So, I stopped wearing watch ๐ I can relate to Iketeru, how he dies of laughter cuz of silly dirty things, for me it's silly things like, someone slipped or they moved in a funny way etc. When I notice such things I laugh for like 10-20 minutes (in my mind) I actually bite my lips so that my laugh doesn't get out in the public (๏ฟฃโฝ๏ฟฃ) They talk about adults but for me during my age of 10 to 15 I used to be the lone wolf type of person who emitted gloomy aura with no friends, it was so difficult to blend in cuz people used to avoid me. So, after I got out of school I started wearing a smile so that it's easier to live in the society...and now life is as shitty as shown in this anime... The casts are perfect and obviously really like the ED, it's Mamo-chan after all. |
| Lmao. Life is really tough for Uramichi oniisan. This will be a pretty fun show to follow. And the ED is really good. |
 |
| Jaded adult-geared comedy is right up my alley. |

| So far it's not as funny as the manga imo but it was still super enjoyable to watch! I think part of it might be because I already knew about Uramichis twisted personality so his responses didn't come out as surprising to me but it also lacked a bit of impact idk. Like in the manga Uramichis personality switch always comes with very intense manga panels so maybe that's why? I'm not sure but I'll definitely continue watching. Obviously the voice acting is great with that many popular VAs. |
| Adult depression the animation. I like the concept, but I'm worried that it might become repetitive. Even the first episode felt a little repetitive. They're going to have to find more situations to make things more varied and interesting if they want to keep viewer's attention. The comedy was ok. I chuckled at some parts and others just kinda fell flat. The dick bit was actually pretty funny. Dark comedy can be a lot of fun, but they're going to have to do better going forward. |
| I'm crying. I'm laughing. This episode was relatable on a top-tier level. The dark humor is really hilarious. They really did a good job in turning the dark reality of daily life into comedy. And I'm not saying that it was those cringey, cliched, and overused jokes; it was just purely golden and sooo relatable. Uramichi really portrayed the way on how I (probably not only me, but how all of us) wake up in the morning, go do our roles in society, up until the very end of the day, which sucks but that's the truth, isn't it? I love how Hiroshi Kamiya portrays him. Also, I feel so bad for Iketeru. The man's as broken as his humor is. That was probably the funniest part in this episode. From the way that Uramichi just had to deal with him, up to how he wheezed about those stupid jokes, it made me crack up so much. Mamoru Miyano delivered a great job once again (I still can't move on from his wheezes LMAO). Anyways, I can't wait to see what jokes and shenanigans this show will bring in the following episodes. |

| I relate to Uramichi way more than I would like to admit. |
| I feel like this wants to be something darkly funny along the lines of Aggretsuko, but something about the pacing and delivery meant most of the jokes didn't land for me and everything just felt... bleak and boring. |
 |
| Some jokes were funny, others are a bit annoying. But it isn't bad either. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Chuckled a bit but the comedy didn't quite hit all the time for me. I feel like this could do much better with a little more consistency. Gee, the Seiyuu lineup though. |

| he's so relatable |
| I understand you very well Uramichi-san... |

| Admittedly, I'm not too sold on this series. You ever like have that person who keeps making self-deprecating jokes one after another and it just gets old? They don't rad the mood and everyone's just laughing uncomfortably at that point, but it's like okay man, we get it. That's kinda what this anime feels like. It's like, hey man we can talk about it, you don't have to joke about it every time. It's actually pretty sad. That's maybe the point, but if that's the case then I feel like it warrants a different approach than this. Dark comedy is hard to get down well, so hopefully they can get it as they keep it going. |

Later episodes are less repetitive. |

| The humor is very special, I would say it was quite funny so far but I'm not sure how it will evolve |
 |
| ah, finally, an anime that i can relate with ... *sobs* jokes aside, what the hell is going on with this anime's voice casting? we got Kamiya Hiroshi, Sugita Tomokazu, Nakamura Yuichi, Miyano Mamoru and Nana Mizuki in episode one already? man, this is one hell of god tier voice casting |
| Too much pain yet funny start so far. I don't know who I feel more sad for, the innocent little kids or emotionally unstable Uramichi questioning his existence and giving gloomy life lessons... |
 |
| This is interesting starting with the first episode as Uramichi starts as a cheerful character on the outside while he has a dreadful personality on the inside Oh wow he doesn't fit and fits at the same time in this environment, And his mood changes entertain me in a way that I can feel what he's feeling, A midlife crisis to be exact I want them to do more collabs seems like their chemistry doesn't fit and the way that it doesn't fit gives off a more amusing vibe to it especially those Kuma and Usagi guys, This Iketeru guy has a common thing of mine holy shit his humor is so bad it's good and his wheeze I can't with this guy it's hilarious. |

| Just watched this yesterday as I finally found access to it. To be honest, after watching the first episode, I went to the forums expecting an overwhelming amount of bad reviews cause, I personally got so bored and irritated with the redundant, over-used, no set-up depression jokes. But I was so surprised and confused when I saw it's very positively reviewed instead. This has been on my list for months after watching the trailer because,1) I liked the mid-life crisis concept, 2) I love satirical, dark-humor, parody, comedy Anime, and 3) Sugita is included, so I expected this to be one chaotic comedy riot from the start. But with just the first episode, I got confused as heck as to why they were rushing the jokes, one after another with no setup, and nothing was hitting me. It wasn't until the couple was introduced that jokes started hitting, cause they had character traits... Uramichii and the 2 mascots did not yet, until the 2nd episode. After reading positive comments, I felt like there's something wrong with me. But after finding some negative comments as well, I realized I wasn't alone in that after all. And that's all I needed to know, really. I didn't come here to question anyone's taste. I'm glad that a lot of people is having fun with it. I just needed to make sure that my dislike of the 1st episode was justified. And seeing as there's others who felt almost exactly the same way as I did... I think my feelings for this episode was fair. |

| This is one hell of a relating cast if I ever saw one lmao. Uramichi and his kohai duo are hilarious. Also Daga's laugh was so funny, felt like a genuine real laugh from the VA ;p |
| I don't understand why so many people love it. It's relatable ok so what ? Everything is based on the same joke. It's repetitive as f*ck. |
| Wanted to watch because I liked the concept of the show but the execution was bad, none of the gags during the first worked since it felt like a Power Point presentation that lacked a proper pace to what is getting told and the ugly animation, more like lack of it, make the characters more insufferable than they should be but it seems this show is just going to be "Isn't this so relatable? Depression am i right? ~โ" Next. |
| Going all out with the dark humour. Wondering how many reshoots that studio has to do when Uramichi falls off the wagon during filming - the editing crew must have a hell of a time cutting an episode together. Only issue is that how this can go on. You can only do the depressive adult life thing so much before it becomes overdone. |
 |
| I can't believe I can relate to Uramichi so much hahahaha. Iketeru's laugh (VA:Miyano Mamoru) sounds really natural, I can't help but to laugh too lol ED song is a BOMB! |

| Jokes are not really my cup of tea sadly :( |
| The opening is kinda funky. Not of my taste though Lol, this dude is having the existential and midlife crisis that almost everyone from the age of 18 has. He's in his 30's. I presume he has been doing this for a long time. I wonder if he should be called 'ojisan' instead of 'oniisan' lol He probably doesn't even get paid enough to deal with those kids. All of his colleagues seem to be having the same pessimistic view. I love how he doesn't sugarcoat things. Sugarcoating them leads to young minds having a false perception of this world. If someone had told me that finding and getting into a suitable college would be this hard, I would have been extra fucking prepared. Bruh they are still laughing at 'dick' jokes XD The ED is pretty good |
 |
| A pretty funny first episode. Going to stick around to see what the comedy has to offer. |
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |
| The D*ck part was so random and the voice acting was so good. Most hilarious scene this episode. Not a bad start at all. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| It might not be a particularly unique concept, but I'm enjoying the light-hearted exploration of the personas we wear to mask our undesirable troubles. Can't wait to watch more :-) |
