The Eccentric Family
The Eccentric Family finds comedy in a shapeshifting household that carries an old loss beneath its unruly daily life. Crunchyroll is the only legal streaming service named on this page. Also released as Uchouten Kazoku, this 2013 TV series has 13 episodes of 24 minutes each, making it a compact first season with room for its family tensions to settle in. P.A. Works balances playful supernatural mishaps with sibling friction, social obligations, and grief that no one quite knows how to discuss. It is a strong fit for viewers who prefer personality and conversation to combat, especially when fantasy is woven into ordinary routines.
About
Kyoto is home to humans, shape-changing tanuki, and tengu who observe the city from above. Yasaburo Shimogamo is the third of four tanuki brothers, and curiosity pulls him away from the conduct expected of a responsible heir. His wanderings repeatedly bring him into the company of an aging tengu, the intimidating human Benten, and relatives caught up in a struggle for influence. Meanwhile, the Shimogamo household still lives with the disturbing fate of its admired father, who was captured and served to the Friday Club. As Yasaburo tries to understand what happened, old loyalties and buried resentments begin to surface. The mystery gives the season direction, but the family members and their tangled affections remain its focus.
