Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In a supernatural version of the modern day, The Eccentric Family (Uchouten Kazoku) presents diverse Kyoto, where tanuki and tengu live side-by-side with humans. The tanuki Shimogamo family was once the head of the entire Kyoto tanuki society, but after the unfortunate death of their patriarch, Chief Souichirou, the family falls into disrepair as his four sons struggle to grow up and regain their foothold in society. This series follows Yasaburou, third son of the Shimogamo family, who inherited his father's idiocy. Having been taught by legendary tengu master Akadama and with close ties to human-tengu Benten, who is both a member of the tanuki-eating Friday Fellows and his longtime crush, Yasaburou's life is complicated.Quirks and eccentricities abound. Yasaburou's brothers are their own curiosities. Yaichirou, the eldest, is aloof but overreacts to everything. Yajirou, the second oldest, is only motivated when drunk and lives as a frog at the bottom of a shrine well. Lastly, Yashirou, the youngest, works under his abusive cousins but has a knack for creating electricty. Their mother is a theatrical bifauxnen known as the "Black Prince" who's very afraid of thunder. Yasuburou himself disregards tanuki laws and society and masquerades as human most of the time. Despite antagonistic relatives, the Ebisugawas, and the threat of being caught and cooked in the Friday Fellows' hot pot, the family and friends go about life in ways only a bunch of misfits could.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Originally a novel by Tomihiko Morimi published in 2007. A thirteen-episode anime adaptation was created by P. A.

The Voice | |
| The Eccentric Family / int_1c77ec26 | comment |
The Voice / She Who Must Not Be Seen: Kaisei Ebisugawa, who doesn't like coming out in the open, so Yasaburou ends up having conversations with her as a disembodied voice while she's hiding under a bridge or in a drawer. The audience (although not Yasaburou) finally gets to see her in episode 9 of the anime. She lets herself be seen by Yashirou while helping him to escape from the Ebisugawa factory but deliberately hides from him any other time. He finally gets a far-off glance of her in the final end credits, but it's implied she's gone the second he heads toward her. The second season reveals that Yasaburou cannot maintain his human form (or any transformation for that matter) and reverts into his tanuki form whenever Kaisei is in front of him. | |

Chekhov's Boomerang | |
| The Eccentric Family / int_21f3e32e | comment |
Chekhov's Boomerang: Two things make second appearances in the ending: The folding fan is demonstrated in episode 3, and shows up in the aerial battle in the next episode: Yasaburou uses it to attack the Ebisugawa's flying battleship, but loses the fan afterward. In the last episode, Akadama-sensei uses it to obliterate both the council of tanuki and the Friday Fellows' meeting. The flying "inner parlor" is also demonstrated in episode 3, used in the aeiral battle in the following episode, but crashes at the end. Near the end of the show, the Ebisugawa brothers try to launch Train!Yajirou and his brothers into a river; but it turns out they saved the wine-powered levitator from the inner parlor, so they simply float over the river (and toss the Ebisugawas into it). The second season introduces the painting of hell which is brought to play to be a gateway to hell itself. It's what brought Soun to his end in the final episode. | |

Unresolved Sexual Tension: Between Yasaburou and Benten. It comes with him being mesmerized by her to but also justifiably afraid for his life whenever he's with her. And her generally being entertained by his presence but also saddened by the realization that she will undoubtedly consume and thus lose him. | |

Glamour Failure | |
| The Eccentric Family / int_90984c54 | comment |
Glamour Failure: The youngest Shimogamo brother occasionally has his tail pop out when under stress. For tanuki in general, stress (or a loss of focus) can cause a complete reversion to their animal shapes, as when the council discovers that the Friday Fellows were next door, or Soichiro around Benten The second series also shows that things linking to traumatic memories can also cause tanuki to revert, such as Tousen's fear of thunder, Yajiro reverting back to a frog when he sees his mother due to still feeling guilty over his role in their dad's death. Which makes Yasaburo's strange, as his is Kaisei. | |

Karma Houdini: Akadama kidnaps a human girl, which directly leads to her stealing his powers, turning evil as Benten and consequently causing most of the troubles in the series, including catching and eating Sōichirō. Not only that, but he refuses to condemn Benten for what she does for the longest time. After all of that you'd expect the tanuki community to be extremely wary of him at the very least, but strangely they still treat him with the utmost respect. | |

Take That! | |
| The Eccentric Family / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: The series regularly makes small quips against blindly following tradition. | |

Tanuki | |
| The Eccentric Family / int_b556e777 | comment |
Tanuki: The titular family and about half of the characters are tanuki (Japanese raccoon dogs). Being capable of shapeshifting and living in modern-day Kyoto, they mainly take on human forms in order to disguise their true nature. | |

Bifauxnen: The Shimogamo mother often takes this form for playing pool and mingling with humans. | |

Youkai | |
| The Eccentric Family / int_bea77379 | comment |
Youkai: Limited to tanuki and tengu, though, at least in Kyoto. Kitsune have been mentioned but as of yet remain unseen. In the second season, Yasaburou finds himself in Hell and meets Oni. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Eccentric Family / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Yasaburou is fond of this. He fancied himself Nasu no Yoichi as he spitefully shot an arrow with love letter at a priceless fan and in realizing he really didn't get Benten's complicated feelings he fancied himself a frog on the bottom of a well, who knows nothing of the vast ocean. | |

Beyond the Impossible: Yasaburou's dad shapeshifts into a mountain (no other tanuki can transform into anything bigger than a truck). | |

Jerkass: Ginkaku and Kinkaku, and their dad, who seem to love nothing more than antagonizing the Shinogamo family. | |

Theme Naming: The Shimogamo brothers have one going following a pattern of 矢(Ya/arrow)*the number son they are* 郎(rou/son). Similarly, the Friday Fellows are each named after one of the Seven Gods of Fortune | |
