I hate isekai, because they often remind the viewer it’s not a fantasy world, but supposed to be a game. Many isekai would have been so much better if they were just straight up non-isekai fantasy anime.
The isekai idea is supposed to make it more relatable and easier to start, but people don’t really need that to pretend a mechanic different from our reality exists in that world and someone got cast into it somehow.
“Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town” does that well because it plays on the stupidly overpowered, doesn’t know what’s normal trope without the MC being reincarnated.
You forgot to add “I’m also in love with my sister AND I’m a vending machine”
I’m also in love with my sister
This part is true. But, I am vending machine?
Actually creative but I’m a bit ashamed on how much I enjoyed it.
my kids first words were, “Hello There!”
Kenobi!
“I am the worst, but actually the greatest because of macguffin.”
I’m getting real tired of these open-faced and very uninspired power fantasies.
Random idea I got while reading your comment:
I am studying at the magic university to prove magic doesn’t exist.
It’s all advance science application! The magic circle is literally a circuit diagram! And that! That is literally a smith chart!
I really don’t get this schlock either. It’s not like a videogame where you can feel cool, it’s just gets in the way of telling a good story.
Man i miss cgdct, and i am not even a fan of chdct it just feels less cheap.
Have you been watching Sorairo Utility?
I’m looking forward to “That Time I Got Reincarnated In The Backrooms.”
Joke’s on you, I would watch the hell out of that.
Isekai analogue horror would be an interesting spin on the genre
