Tadaima, Okaeri

Hoping for a fresh start, househusband Masaki Fujiyoshi, his spouse Hiromu, and their toddler son, Hikari, move to a new neighborhood. The couple's union was frowned upon by many due to Masaki's status as an omega—a secondary gender that allows an individual to give birth. Even for an alpha—seen as the superior secondary gender—such as Hiromu, discrimination seems to be commonplace and a hindrance to a life of domestic bliss.

Fortunately, the new family is not alone. Little Hikari becomes attached to Yuuki Hirai, the Fujiyoshis' lonely college student neighbor. Despite his initial reluctance, Yuuki ends up befriending the infant. Moreover, the family can also confide in Hiromu's childhood friend and coworker Tomohiro "Matsu" Matsuo.

Although everything is going well for the young couple and their child, a sudden presence from the past might pose a problem for the peaceful life they dream of.

I held off on watching this for a long time because I wasn't familiar with the omegaverse. Even though I originally thought that the premise would be difficult to wrap my head around, I finally decided to watch this because I've been scouring the internet for more BL recs/anything mildly BL even and cannot find any more. This anime surprised me with how wholesome and sweet it is -- I truly regret not watching it sooner. The pacing is a little slow at times, as this is iyashikei, but I enjoyed it. I did have to do a lot of googling while watching though, as ... the show doesn't explain all aspects of the omegaverse and kind of assumes you will have some prior knowledge. Would recommend.

7/10

Mixed Feelings

One of the first Japanese BL I have watched but ….

Is a simple quick short anime to binged and they do have some wholesome moments but if you want like a good story plot , this anime doesn’t deliver much as it has a few plot holes and no connection in the storyline , and often a lot of huge jumps here and there.

The babies are cute and certain interactions between the main couple are cute too, but it could be expanded. The anime in general could expand a bit more on certain aspects and concepts in the storyline.


Overall, the anime Is not ... amazing but is not really horrible.

Just a kind of nothing burger. I feel like everyone's character development, especially HIromu and the Masaki, had a chunk of their character development off screen three years ago. In the omega's case he does learn and grow, and he's the character that changes the most throughout the course of the show, but it wasn't enough to keep me properly engaged. The two side characters, Matsuo and Yuki had more chemistry than the main duo, but the bar is still in hell. The twins did not need to be there. Masaki's cousin was okay I guess but I don't even remember his name.

The kids ... are cute i guess. There are some cute moments in the show that made me laugh, but it really isn't enough. I wish the kids were more annoying. They felt too perfectly cute. Kids are fucking little assholes, thats what makes the cute moments even cuter. They felt really flat.

My main issue with the show is its treatment of omegaverse. I am no omegaverse connoisseur, but I am on Tumblr, so I know a fair bit. I will give the show credit: it does utilize the omegaverse trope throughout the whole show... but it doesn't really do it well. And I think that's the highest insult.

For the uninitiated, omegaverses across media can vary **very wildly,** and there's really only a few general rules--and even those rules get broken. The show generally follows the main "rules." For the sake of gross simplification, generally speaking alphas are the semes, ukes are omegas that can get pregnant, people release "pheromones" like wolves, omegas go into heat, and omegas/alphas do mating marks. Betas also exist. (No one knows what betas do in this hierarchy. Not even tumblrinas.)

These are the only real rules Tadaima Okaeri follows, which usually would be a great thing--shows that feature an original cast must have a very nuanced/well thought out/unique take on the omegaverse. But those are the only rules it follows because Tadaima, Okaeri doesn't remember anything else. Packs are flown out the window, despite the four or five rotating dudes that keep inviting themselves over to the main couples house. Even stilll, the only real rule that Taidama Okaeri cares about for most of its run is that alphas are semes and ukes are omeagas, with the other stuff not appearing until the final conflict. Something interesting that Tadaima Okarei does do is that omegas and alphas aren't encouraged to be together; what's normal in this verse is dating within your type. This is the main piece of worldbuilding that drives a lot of the show, and to be fair, I've never seen anything like it before. However, it ends up just being a copy paste bad discrimination story, and you could honestly replace it with "they disapprove of this marriage because I'm gay/transgender" and really nothing would change.

I'm just... who is it for? Back when this was airing every anituber i saw treated this like it had the fucknig measles, and while we're all allowed to have our likes and dislikes, this show was so milquetoast that the fear from people like Glass Reflection seems like it's for a different show. that's another thing, despite omegaverse being what this show is about, it never really leans into the strangeness of it all. Masaki literally has gets pregnant and has a baby in the middle of the series, and all we get is him saying "I'm having a baby" to a jump cut of the baby in their crib. Like, seriously? The only people watching this are comfortable with omegaverse content, they can withstand a pregnant man. It just felt like it never wanted to commit to anything weirder than it's bland discrimination angle. And even still, even still!! With that discrimination angle we never saw anything beyond how people in the couple's personal lives felt about it. Nothing about systemic opression of omegas, which IMO, you HAVE to deal with if your'e doing an omegaverse with original characters.

Overall this is a hard skip, for both casual BL fans, omegaverse fans, and everyone else. Don't waste your time.

Also the budget for this show appears to be four pieces of lint and a toothpick, but since this is a BL, that's kinda a rite of passage.
