After a rough time with a few delays, it’s finally almost time to soak in the final episode of the Uncle from Another World TV anime. The official Twitter account revealed that the series’ 13th and final episode is set to make its broadcast debut on TV in Japan on March 8 at 10:30pm Japan Time. 

Episode 13 was originally set to premiere on December 29, but the impact of COVID-19 on China caused a delay in video material delivery. 

Shigeki Kawai directs Uncle from Another World at anime production house Atelier Pontdarc. Global Netflix streaming kicked off on July 20, 2022.

Yen Press publishes Hotondoshindeiru’s original manga in English and sums up the story below:

Seventeen years ago, Takafumi’s uncle fell into a coma, but now he’s back like a man risen from his grave. Soon, Takafumi discovers two bizarre things: His uncle treasures video games above all else, and, while comatose, he was actually transported to another world as some heroic guardian! Now, not only does Takafumi have to room with an uncle who is literally magical, he also has to catch the guy up on two decades of history—smartphones, high-speed internet, modern anime tropes…and the traumatic outcome of the ’90s console war!
