Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan

2021 · 1 season

A wry, quietly bleak workplace comedy where cheerful children's TV masks grown-up exhaustion, funny and deflating in equal measure.

Overview: Being an adult is hard, and for Uramichi Omota, that truth weighs on him. While on TV, he’s the upbeat exercise instructor for a children’s show, but he and his coworkers keep revealing the plight of adulthood on air. At least they’re working through it.
How it feels: Dark, cynical, absurd and melancholic. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Work, isolation, loneliness, media
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
