![]() There's more though: "Together with Maman"'s director Tekito Derekida meaning careless director, Furitsuke Capellini meaning a literate capellini (pasta)-haired choreographer, to name a few. See the simiarlities: Uramichi full name implies a double-faced personality (inner and outer side), Tobikichi plays the rabbit mascot "Usao" while Mitsuo plays the bear mascot "Kumao", and get this: Iketeru's full name is a pun meaning "But I'm handsome" while Utano's means "Just a singer". What I love about their names is that mangaka Gaku Kuze has a legit reason why he has given these very memorable and likable characters names as such. ![]() Uramichi Oniisan is not alone though, he has helpers performing alongside him, and display the same fervor of lifelessness that's simiarly identical or less worse than what Uramichi is going through: his juniors of Tobikichi Usahara and Mitsuo Kumatani, both 28-years old and are once Uramichi's juniors in college, and formerly music actors 27-year old Iketeru Daga and and 32-year old Utano Tadano. But if there's one thing that you do not want to do: point the facts out, or Uramichi Oniisan will bite the hell out of you with his culminating depression. He can get away with his upbeat personality on camera, but off-camera, his life is reduced to an old man's activity of some heavy smoking and drinking while doing his muscle training hobby at times. ![]() In truth, he is the same 31-year-old guy who was a former gymnast with a really good smile and physique, but with a caveat: he is mentally unstable. Uramichi Oniisan tells the story of 31-year old Uramichi Omota, a lively and bubbly adult imitating the parody of Okaasan to Issho, a children's television program on Japan's largest TV network NHK (that's the children's arm of NHK Educational TV for ya), dubbed "Together with Maman" on MHK, also a gymnastics show for children. How depressing can your life be when you've reached the point of no return? young adults in their late 20s or adults in their early 30s (of which I am one, hands up if you belong to the Millennial generation) who have gone through this stage of handling jobs and juggling life at the same time, and now passing this knowledge down to children. It's OK because the "OK Boomers" young generation will absolutely not understand how #Relatable this show is to ![]() Reality" in the most dark, crude stance of a satirical parody, or as I like to call it in a better light: "Adulting/Adulthood" the Animation. Uramichi Oniisan can just be summed up in these one-word caricatures: (simply *chef's kiss*) amazing, comical, wholesome (if you understood the show's intents), magnifiquely magnificent (all-around). *switches off the TV* So that's your real shell of a dark personality huh? "Hai Domo, kids! Let's all come together and do a charismatimgly cute children's show to the audience! A-B-C, A-B-C, A.to.Z!" ![]()
