Anime 56768 Tadaima Okaeri Reviews Filter Check 1

I am a big fan of omegaverse mangas; I love them! It is my second favorite genre of manga (office manga is still the best, though), especially if they also involve kids. Now, there is an anime within this genre!! I can't give a full review yet since only 3 out of 12 episodes have aired as of now. It's worth mentioning that this series delves into omegaverse themes, so if that's not your cup of tea, feel free to stop reading this review. Oh, and if you're not familiar with it, this anime serves as a pretty good introduction to the concept of omegaverse ... (men being able to have children). If you're open to seeing a BL manga being adapted into an animated show and intrigued by the concept, keep reading! A friend recommended it to me, sparking my interest. Yes, I'm not lying about that—I genuinely didn't know there was going to be an omegaverse anime and I am ashamed of that because like I said, it's one of my favorite genres. Admittedly, the first episode made me feel a bit awkward, perhaps because I'm more accustomed to reading manga with similar themes rather than watching them animated. Nonetheless, the addition of the baby character adds a nice touch to the series (as always). Overall, I'd rate it a 7 for now. While it's enjoyable, it's not the best of the best; I've encountered better BL stories with children that I would have rather seen animated instead. However, I'm keeping an open mind and looking forward to seeing how the remaining 9 episodes unfold.

WHOLESOMENESS in a nutshell. There will always be a place in my heart for anime toddlers🥹. Still, this show is such a sweet family story about raising your kid in the Omegaverse.

The context: For people who don't know, the Omegaverse genre is basically an alternative universe with second gender called Alpha, Beta, and Omega. Basically, Alpha are top of the food chain, superior individuals; generally both male and female Alpha can impregnate. The opposite is true for omega who are considered inferior in society eyes & seen as sex objects because they have strong pheromones. Both male and female omega can get pregnant. They can ... be paired with an Alpha by the act of nape biting, which help suppressed their pheromones. Betas are just stuck in the middle. In Omegaverse, most things are determined by this social hierarchy. Although, there exist the rare fated pair of Alpha and Omega who are basically each other's half. This chemistry transcends logic. It is a wild setting, but one that actually explores a lot of social prejudice and allow same sex couple the fantasy of pregnancy.

The story: With that out of the way, I find Tadaima, Okaeri to be such a refreshing story. This genre is usually a bit twisted due to its premise, so seeing Alpha and Omega parent just happily raising their child was beautiful. The prejudice here is something our MCs face daily, but it felt closer to real life in how passive aggressive these interactions are. Yet there's also hope. The children are so cute and positive you just feel healed from watching the interactions. It might be too sunshine & rainbow for some, but we do need these happy, slice-of-life fantasy to believe real life can be better.

I am a big fan of Omegaverse stories. But the thing is, the omegaverse au was made by Westerners. It's nice how media like Manhwas (Korean comics) and Mangas (Japanese comics) finally adapted to it. However, there was no animated series related to it...until Tadaima, Okaeri got released. Omegaverses have some sensitive topics but Tadaima Okaeri seemed to be the best introduction to this concept. The series is so wholesome and I like how it covers topics that can someone be applied to today's world.

The art style reminds me of Gakuen Babysitters which is understandable since both are similar in terms of the artist. ... The colors rlly fit the theme depending on the emotions portrayed. The characters have their own personality and all somewhat made their own character developments.

If you're looking for a wholesome series + serious and cute plot, I recommend it!!
