I find basically every character that isn't the main character to be very annoying and like yeah, they made them that way, thats the joke, but after that joke we still have to endure with these characters. Re:zero borderline on the list but god do I not enjoy subaru even if he improves eventually and his love interest is not enjoyable either. Zeus posted... I love Saga of Tanya the Evil, but I wouldn't want to be in that fucking world. And it's a series that only really works as an isekai Thats like the one isekai thats not set in a fantasy world (and its good, I like tanya the evil) but for the other 99% where they basically don't need to be isekai but they just make it an isekai because that sells better than fantasy apparently, I'd like some world building that makes the place look wondrous. Isekai is to fantasy anime what incest is to porn most of the time. Zeus posted... Also a lot of fantasy worlds in isekai would kinda suck if you were just an ordinary person because they're unbelievably dangerous while also lacking basic QoL stuff (although many tend to have far more attractive people, so there's that). It can both be very unsafe and appealing. I should at least have a significant desire to go there even if it's counteracted by lack of safety and modern convenience. Like the abyss in made in abyss. I'd never actually go there if it was a real place but it's cool and interesting and has amazing views and creatures and landscapes that can only exist in a giant super deep hole with ancient mysteries and bizarre but consistent ecology. When I watch that I want to see them get to the next area not just because the story will continue but because I'm super excited to see what the next area is like. When I watch generic isekai anime #759 and they go to a bland desert town after the generic "beginner" town I'm not excited to see where they go next. I don't care where they go. I don't even really care that they are in a fantasy world. They aren't making use of the setting outside of things the main character can do (like use magic/swords). On the other hand when they go to the desert town in mushoku tensei I was literally awed. The song playing while they pan around the city packed with tiny details and inventive architecture and unique culture on full display and I just sat there thinking "wow, this is amazing". Theres no reason that gimmick isekai can't have that. Spider isekai could have done that. They could have made each place truly interesting and alive, but they didn't. And it's not like not doing it makes it unwatchable but just seeing it done well makes me wish there were more like it because it's not a high bar to reach. I'm not against gimmicks, I just want good world building, characters, and writing. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) <cite>YoukaiSlayer posted [p:959383259] in Anime, Man...
