Ahh the YouTube adpocalypse, 2017 and 2018 were a garbage time for some but still had fond memories of it. I kinda remembered there was an outrage on that 1K sub + 4K hrs of watchtime, though it's been 4 long years since then, some YTers will still have flashbacks. I really do hope some YouTubers watch this (Netflix) anime because this is so hilarious with the references they can pull off.

Also I thought that TsunElf was here but it was actually just Ojisan. And wow Fujimiya was a kid...atleast she grow up to become a waifu. But that last part made me laugh like Takafumi as well, when he said that V-tube is on the rise at the same time Ojisan got a lot of views on a video with no gameplay from him but only his Elf appearance carried the video, the mad brain inside me just can't hold it.

This is such a blast, no wonder why Netflix picked it for some reasons or one.

"AHHHH!!!!! Why did you do that"

That's pretty much the joke most of the time.

The uncle becoming an accidental vtuber, the YouTube ad revenue policy, Fujimiya's face and the complete lack of social awareness. This is hilarious, I'm glad I started it.

Too bad elf girl didnt really show up in the world though that would have messed up the dynamics of the show this early on.

lolzed at the face smack into the barrier after the cliche heroism attempt.

Makes a lot more sense why Takafumi ignores Fujimiya’s interest in him so much. Holy shit she was awful lol

I find this anime really sad, but I'm still watching it. Fujimiya turned out to be really awful as a kid, uncle's looks turned people away from watching and his new look is bringing people to watch, Takafumi doesn't like Fujimiya very much which is understandable. If uncle Yousuke poses a real vtuber-like person and does some crazy stuff, then he will certainly achieve higher and higher subscription and watchtime levels. We still don't know the full extend of his abilities. He's certainly a weirdo.

at 5:47 , bad translation of netflix :

- ... hemmed in by Chu 's army ...

- WRONG . the correct translation is "hemmed in just like Chu 's army" .

四面楚歌 = shimensoka = Si mian chu ge = 4 directions , Chu 's songs .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gaixia

Having been defeated, Xiang Yu , leader of Chu army , retreated with the survivors to his Chu camp, where they were surrounded by Han army , and that night , the Han army , many of whom were Chu in origin, sang traditional songs of Chu.

This induced homesickness and desertions in Xiang Yu's Chu army and made Xiang believe that many Chu soldiers had already defected to the Han armies before the battle at Gaixia.

Losing Chu soldiers through defections and believing his position hopeless, Xiang Yu fled later that night with only 800 Chu cavalry.

in short , the Chu army was surrounded from 4 directions by the Han army , then the Han army sang Chu songs , to break the spirit of the Chu army .

Ok thats a bit of a shame that it was just a transformation and it wasn't that the elf girl actually got transported to the modern world. Would have loved to see the romance continue in modern day.

It is nice that the MC is beginning to realize that the elf actually cared for him. (Its a shame though cause even if he realizes it he's now in the modern day)

I would agree with you if the flashbacks were just random nonsense, and not constant ridiculing of the isekai genre and how he finds numerous ways to ruin his supposedly perfect isekai experience every step of the way because of his extremely awkward personality.

I mean, you can say the exact same thing about how Konosuba is just a constant boringly repeated loop of "oops, the gang is in trouble again! Let's show audience more on how Darkness is a masochist, Kazuma going to do some weird shit probably with Steal, the goddess being completely useless, everyone is just gonna yell and cry a little bit about how everything is going horribly, and oh and don't forget Megumi gonna throw an explosion, that's the crowd's favorite!!" .

I think you are being disingenuous about Konosuba's humour. Sure, Aqua is useless, Darkness is a masochist, and Megumin likes to cast explosion, are points often reused regarding those characters.
But a lot of the humour in Konosuba comes from outside those characters. For example, when they visit that water town and everyone is trying to trick them into joining their religion or whatever. Or when the orcs are trying to chase down Kazuma. Etc. A lot of the comedy isn't actually born from the main cast's tropes.
Furthermore, Konosuba continually introduces new characters throughout the entire series, who have their own unique thing that is different from that of the main cast. For example, the bad guy in the castle from the first season (Dullahan I think?), or Wiz, or the guy with the mask, or the slime guy, etc etc. Much of the humour throughout the series feels fresh.

Not really the same thing, Konosuba still has a over-riding story to it. It is a bit of a 'task of the week' show, where the gang accept a quest, usually complete it but fuck up so bad it makes whatever they earned meaningless. It's a fun show to watch because on top of the characters, you want to see how they fuck up. This doesn't have this, other than then trying to make money, it's mostly just gags about his life in the fantasy world. Was funny for an episode but got old pretty quickly in my opinion. Did like the AoT reference last episode though.

Would have sympathized with him if he didn't retain his abilities from the isekai.

I love this, I thought it would be a generic isekai but oh well this feels so different from any isekai I have watched yet. It's soooo refreshing to watch this, although I love this so much I don't think it can top mushuko tensei for me, well they are like 2 sides of a same coin anyway

I'm hoping it's a fakeout and the elf does show up in our world. I assumed she would because she's in the intro in our world but having it actually be the uncle is pretty hilarious.

Ojisan lived through the YouTube changes in 2018, and he was in a bind. He was in one in the other world and we see what happened (I think the TITANIC reference is VERY noticeable xd). And he asked the internet for help to get to 1,000 subscribers, and he was able to get there xd.
Ojisan wanted to help Fujimiya and brought "Obasan". He put on the body of the elf girl from the other world xD. I thought he appeared on his own, the elf girl is very pretty.
And we see how Takafumi and Fujimiya met, she was very different than she is now xD
Taking advantage of Ojisan being as the elf girl, they recorded a video. It immediately went viral hahaha

Hilarious it's more a docu-comedy now. Also got that adpocalypse email. Treating subscribers like the Spirits, Vtuber, & AoT references great stuff.
Elf fight animation super cool.
lol Ojisan's learning conflicting messages about appearance mattering or not. It seems the true ugliness is his inside, his personality & behavior is horrible toward others, including endangering the whole sealed city.

I have to admit, the way this anime mixed social media with fantasy elements is somewhat refreshing. And Takafumi's reactions were pure comedy gold. If anything, this show is entertaining for its character personalities. It's quite amusing.



Yeah, you think it is about isekai, then post-isekai, then it is really about the shit people have had to deal with, including youtubers.

That near opening line of Takafumi that, "The economic downturn has been hard on me too", got my interest. It isn't just comedy, it is comedy to cope with a truly unstable world, with a main character from our world one generation back ("I was there, Gandalf"), but a long-time adventurer-expat in Granbahamal.
