Uncle's Obsession with Cute Things
Oshimeter
Synopsis
At 42 years old, Mitsutaka Oji has got the whole office convinced he's the epitome of cool professionalism. Sharp suits, calm demeanor, the kind of guy everyone respects. What nobody knows is that this man is absolutely obsessed with cute things, specifically a character called Pug Taro. His apartment is basically a shrine to adorable merchandise, and he's been keeping this side of himself locked down tight for years. Then his nephew Masumi moves in with him, and suddenly Oji's carefully maintained double life is one accidental closet door away from falling apart. The comedy here comes from a very specific and very relatable place: the gap between who we present ourselves as and who we actually are. Watching this grown man try to maintain his dignity while sneaking Pug Taro goods into his shopping cart is the kind of low-stakes, warm humor that just works. It's not trying to be anything more than what it is, a lighthearted look at a dude who just wants to enjoy cute stuff in peace. If you liked the cozy gap-moe energy of Mr. Villain's Day Off, or the way Tokusatsu Gagaga handled an adult woman hiding her nerdy passions from coworkers, this is in that same lane. LIDENFILMS is handling the adaptation, so it should look clean. It's a chill comedy about letting yourself like what you like, and honestly, that's enough.

有同伴一起去主题餐厅是一种幸福☺️🤍✨
Unc what is this overthinking bs lmao. Also his ex wife is unnecessarily sassy to him. I mean id be too LMAO. Also funny Naruto-kun think hes flirting with everyone and taking notes meanwhile Oji-san is just (‘◉⌓◉’)
I could not stop thinking about that bears question the whole episode. Watching Oji sitting alone on the train after Kenta got a girlfriend stung way more than it should have. He signed up for the event anyway and that small act of allowing himself joy wrecked me a little
at this point the real villain is crunchyroll shrinking the subtitles during oji fast internal monologue sections. could not keep up with the belly warmer tangent at all
the divorce flashback landed harder than the comedy did. neither of them is a villain here which is what makes it hurt. she just wanted him present and he could not stop hiding
I was fully on team bromance until the drinking night at Kenta's place. The way he lights up when the bear plushie comes out of the closet is something else. Then the girlfriend announcement drops and my guy just deflates at his desk
Kenta hides his cute stuff even harder than Oji does and that says everything. The reveal that his last girlfriend bailed over it made the whole sanitized apartment make sense. That's the painful part of the episode for sure
I did not expect the ex-wife thing to land this well. The way she just sits there daring him to eat the cat cake and he does it anyway had me grinning
I couldn't stop grinning when the kid's tears just stopped the second he saw that Pugtaro pouch. Oji being the guy who saves the day with character merch knowledge is everything
Moshina inviting Oji's ex to the buffet without warning him is a bit much. That's not chaotic that's just cruel. Still the way she sat there smugly watching him squirm over a cat cake carried the whole scene
Takebayashi calling him out on the cute thing thing while he panics is peak divorced energy. She knows exactly where to twist
The bear latte art reveal had no right being that elaborate. Both of them trying to act serious while internally screaming is the exact energy this show needed
That otome game bit near the end caught me completely off guard. Dialogue boxes and little character sprites for his own inner panic? The show keeps finding new ways to make a grown man's mascot obsession feel like a dating sim route.
Unc failing to be nonchalant is hilarious. And the part where he lost his keys is so ಥ‿ಥ also Kawai-kun is the friend he needs, i cant imagine hiding ur special interests for so long and only being able to enjoy them in secret┻━┻ミ\(≧ロ≦\)
The save at the crosswalk was funny because the man literally clocked the car by staring at a charm on her bag. He looked heroic to her and was panicking on the inside. Cracks me up every time
Cuteee and funny but it's quite slow paced atm
Watching a 40 year old man stare at his phone at his desk unable to do any work because of a ticket lottery should not be this entertaining. The build up to the tap. The way he has to celebrate silently. Good stuff
The marking the calendar bit nearly killed me. Masumi all touched and Oji dying inside because he actually forgot. The guilt on his face while his nephew thanks him is too much
Great introduction to the MC! I totally get why he started hiding his love for cute things after being teased and outcasted by his peers in school. But keeping it secret to the point of getting married feels a bit weak. Surely his ex-wife would've found out eventually? You'd think honesty with a partner matters more, but maybe that's just me. But other than that unc is me in 30 yrs
