Mushoku Tensei is a rough watch in season 1 due to how shit of a person the mc is.Pretty sure dude stays a creepy pedophile through the whole series so it stays rough
This is why I dont bother perusing seasonal anime anymore. If its actually good Ill hear buzz about it. Otherwise Im just picking interesting looking stuff from the past few years.Seasonal anime is still worthwhile. A lot of great shows this season, new and sequels.
Isekai has been around forever, but the specific Isekai's that has been flooding the anime scene are specifically Harem Isekai where it's some Japanese male that somehow gets transported into a medieval setting where they are overpowered as fuck, women exist to fall in love with the MC because the plot demands it, and every other guy exists to make the MC look good. I used to think Battle Shonens with "tournament arcs" were lazy as fuck, which I admit is my guilty pleasure, but a lot of the newer Isekai's basically don't even try anymore. SAO isn't exactly an Isekai, but it played a huge role in the popularity with the Isekai genre we see now.
The genre would not be the issue, but every single Isekai seems to get more and more lazy.
FFS, they don't even pretend to care about story or world or characterbuilding, it's just "look at this strange gameificated world, where everything is full of numbers and skills and levels, and MC gets this broken cheat ability!"
Take the script of ep1 from 10 of these animes next to each other, maybe redract the character names, and you will have a hard assigning them correctly because they are all the same.
Even DC is jumping on the bandwagon with the Suicide Squad Isekai.That actually seems like it'll be a lot of fun. I'm probably gonna watch it at some point.
See, that's why I like Isekai Uncle. It's that as a tongue and cheek joke and he doesn't even know what Tsundere is because he got hit by Truck-kun in like the year 1999. He's also constantly talking about Mega Drive and Sega Saturn.
CE needs an Isekai. Imagine, someone from outside of CE who has never been here, busting into this now-locked board. Would make for a fantastic anime.
Yeah I notice the only Isekai's that people actually like are parody's (like konosuba) or ones that actually try to do something different from the same Isekai formula. It's kind of insane how you can tell which Isekai's are souless/shameless by seeing how "to the books" they are lol. It was kind of crazy that at one point "battle shonens" and "slice of life" animes were the ones flooding market and now I wish we got more of those.
