It might be difficult to watch Uncle From Another World given how the episodes air in Japan before landing on Netflix worldwide later. But those Asia-based fans who have already watched the isekai anime claim it's more than just another isekai. So, how many episodes is Uncle from Another World going to have?
Uncle from Another World: What Is It About?
Based on a manga of the same name, written and illustrated by Hotondo Shindeiru, Uncle From Another World is a comedy anime with reverse isekai elements.
Takafumi's uncle has spent the last seventeen years in a coma, but now he's inexplicably conscious again.
Takafumi soon finds out two facts about his uncle, one mundane, the other magical. The mundane: his uncle is an avid gamer who has a lot of catching up to do since, the last time he was conscious, Sega was all the rage! The magical; he's spent these past few years in a magical world!
Now Takafumi must navigate life with an uncle who, quite literally, came from another world, not to mention help him catch up with around two decades of gaming progress!
Rarely do isekai'ed heroes come back to our world, and this is a particularly interesting case, as the uncle's magical past is also part of the narrative present, creating something truly funny and unique.
How Many Episodes Will Uncle from Another World Have?
Uncle From Another World is going to have a total of 13 episodes, as we derive from the DVD release announcement on the show's official website.
Uncle From Another World is going to have three DVDs, and the last one will involve episodes 9-13, thus revealing the exact episode number for the isekai show.

Is This All the Uncle From Another World Content We Can Expect?
Uncle From Another World is a bit of an odd anime topic-wise, plus it doesn't come from a big-name studio.
This doesn't mean it won't succeed, as it already has a bit of a fanbase, but it's normal for most anime to start small, without this meaning that no additional content can ever be expected!
