Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan

Uramichi Omota, a 31-year-old former professional gymnast, works as the leader of the exercise segment of the children's show Together with Maman (a parody of Okaasan to Issho). Despite keeping an upbeat persona on the show, he can't help but reveal his true, jaded, worn-out personality.

She wrote that: "Simply put, Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan works because it melds absurdity with a dash of realism while reminding readers of their own experiences with children's programming. It does take a while to get going, but by the end of the second book, it has achieved just the right mix of humor and cynicism."{{cite web|last=Silverman|first=Rebecca|title=Life Lessons with Uramichi-Oniisan Omnibus 1 & 2 – Review|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/life-lessons-with-uramichi-oniisan/omnibus-1/.170379|website=Anime News Network|date=March 12, 2021|access-date=March 19, 2022|archive-date=January 9, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220109130703/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/life-lessons-with-uramichi-oniisan/omnibus-1/.170379|url-status=live}}

The anime adaptation's first episode garnered mixed reviews from Anime News Network{{'}}s staff during the Summer 2021 season previews. Richard Eisenbeis praised the portrayal of Uramichi being more "depressed and disillusioned than [as] an asshole" and the treatment of the other characters' predicament being "equal parts funny and sad", saying that fans of Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei will enjoy this series. Caitlin Moore was critical of the inappropriate humor said towards young children and the comic timing being "a little bit off" and diminishing the impact of the jokes. James Beckett felt the show didn't "play[s] up the absurdity of its central joke enough" to offset the lack of other jokes throughout the runtime, despite giving praise to the "understated" delivery and Mamoru Miyano giving a "naturalistic" performance as Iketeru. Lynzee Loveridge wrote that the series will appeal to people who enjoy its brand of dark humor, saying that: "If you find this funny, it also probably says something about you and your personal life experiences, your outlook on the world at large." Silverman found the early parts of the episode unfunny because of the focus on Uramichi's bleak outlook but was hopeful of his supporting cast balancing the humor, concluding that: "[T]he contrasts between the colors of the show and Uramichi's dark moments are good, and I like the vocal cast's delivery, but I'm having a hard time getting behind this episode in general. It does get better, but getting there could be a schlep." Nicholas Dupree said that despite a few gags landing its spot, he felt the premiere was hampered by its structure of shorter segments undercutting Uramichi's comments and lacking in quality punchlines, concluding that: "It's a pity, because this past year has had me in the mood for darker humor more than ever, but so far Uramichi Oniisan just hasn't delivered."{{cite web|last1=Eisenbeis|first1=Richard|last2=Moore|first2=Caitlin|last3=Beckett|first3=James|last4=Loveridge|first4=Lynzee|last5=Silverman|first5=Rebecca|last6=Dupree|first6=Nicholas|title=Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan – The Summer 2021 Preview Guide|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/preview-guide/2021/summer/life-lessons-with-uramichi-oniisan/.174285|website=Anime News Network|date=July 5, 2021|access-date=March 20, 2022|archive-date=September 28, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210928183108/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/preview-guide/2021/summer/life-lessons-with-uramichi-oniisan/.174285|url-status=live}}

Silverman reviewed the complete anime series in 2022 and gave it a B−grade.{{cite web|last=Silverman|first=Rebecca|title=Life Lessons with Uramichi-Oniisan Streaming – Review|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/life-lessons-with-uramichi-oniisan/streaming/.183684|website=Anime News Network|date=March 18, 2022|access-date=March 20, 2022|archive-date=March 18, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220318161134/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/life-lessons-with-uramichi-oniisan/streaming/.183684|url-status=live}} While finding fault in the "limited animation", the portrayals of Derekida and Capellini, and the limited appeal of its central premise, she praised Uramichi and Together with Maman{{'}}s programming for making up "a winning combination" for one of the series' best jokes, the "solid vocal performances" from the cast and the subtle details in the characters' past and background jokes, concluding that: "I do think it may work a bit better in its original manga form, but no matter how you experience it, this is probably a love-it-or-hate-it kind of show." The series was nominated for Best Comedy at the 6th Crunchyroll Anime Awards, but lost to Komi Can't Communicate.{{cite web|last=Coats|first=Cayla|title=Meet the Nominees of This Year's Anime Awards!|url=https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2022/01/18/meet-the-nominees-of-this-years-anime-awards|website=Crunchyroll|date=January 19, 2022|access-date=March 20, 2022|archive-date=March 14, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220314130924/https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2022/01/18/meet-the-nominees-of-this-years-anime-awards|url-status=live}}{{cite web|last=Goslin|first=Austen|title=Attack on Titan Final Season Part 1 wins top prize at Crunchyroll's Anime Awards|url=https://www.polygon.com/22924079/anime-awards-winners-list-2022-crunchyroll|website=Polygon|date=February 9, 2022|access-date=March 20, 2022|archive-date=March 8, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220308213721/https://www.polygon.com/22924079/anime-awards-winners-list-2022-crunchyroll|url-status=live}}
