#Children’s TV is Grim in Uramichi Oniisan TV Anime Teaser

Hello, all you good little kids out there! Are you ready for a teaser trailer (below) for Uramiichi Oniisan, an upcoming TV anime based on the dark comedy manga by Gaku Kuse about a gymnastics instructor on a popular children’s TV program who keeps accidentally letting his cynical and depressing personality slip out?

The OP / ED theme song performers for Uramichi Oniisan have also been revealed: the opening theme, entitled “ABC Taisou” (“ABC Exercises”), is performed in-character by Iketeru Oniisan (CV: Mamoru Miyano) and Utano Oneesan (CV: Nana Mizuki). The ending theme, entitled “Dream on”, is performed by Mamoru Miyano.

The Uramichi Oniisan manga is serialized in Ichijinsha’s comic POOL digital magazine, and an English language version is also published by Kodansha Comics under the title Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan. Kodansha Comics describes the story of the series as follows:

How did the cynical Uramichi end up hosting a TV show for small children? And how long is the studio going to let him keep teaching the kids the sorrow and exhaustion of life instead of, say, the ABCs?

The Uramichi Oniisan TV anime is directed by Nobuyoshi Nagayama and features animation production by Studio Blanc.. The series is scheduled to broadcast in Japan beginning in July of 2021.
