Uncle From Another World Debuts Special Isekai Crossover

By Evan Valentine

Uncle From Another World is one of the biggest Isekai series to arrive this year, though the anime adaptation has been struggling with some major issues thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. As fans wait for the newest episode following the hilarious uncle to return, the series is helping to usher in a new Isekai to the anime world as next year will see Handyman Saito In Another World joining the former. To unite these universes, two new posters have arrived that fuse the worlds.

Handyman Saito In Another World first arrived as a manga in 2018, telling the story of a typical handyman who finds himself transported into a magical world and using his job skills as a part of a "Dungeons and Dragons" style group of adventurers. The Isekai series will air first in Japan and then arrive streaming on Crunchyroll, giving anime fans a look into this hilarious world.

If you haven't had the chance to dive into the hilarious world of Uncle From Another World, the original publishers of the manga series, Yen Press, released an official description 

"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."  

Handyman Saito In Another World also was published by Yen Press, with the publishers releasing an official description of the story that will receive an anime adaptation next month beginning on January 8th in Japan:

"Handyman Saito has never been anyone special. All his life, he's had average grades, ordinary athletic skill, a commonplace job... But his unremarkable path takes a turn when he wakes up in another world. Here, warriors, wizards, and elves accompany him on quests delving deep into dungeons, and Saito realizes for the first time what it's like to be needed. After all, who other than the handyman could be trusted to open locked treasure chests or to repair his allies' equipment? Beginning with a simple "thank you," this is the story of an ordinary person's fulfilling life."
