A lot of isekai series actually works without the isekai origin but as a standard fantasy series.


So true, I usually check out anime a few times a year and have seen some of these isekai, all forgettable and I don't think I've finished a single one?

I always think this too, when they are reincarnated 3 minutes into the show and the previous life is never mentioned again.. why not just have a standard ass show then..

Anime has really gotten worse. I hate how everything either has to be a weird isekai or in a high-school setting with the same tropey characters.

It has even infected Gundam.. A Witch from Mercury was TERRIBLE and barely had gundam action or war stories in it. Just a bunch of cringey shallow characters and lesbian baiting.

Why do most anime always have some element of cringe? I feel like western shows have more breadth of diversity whereas so many anime, even across different genres, rely on the same tropes. Maybe I'm just ignorant because I haven't watch that many.

If anything it's gotten better. Anime always has a specific genre or setting trending, that will never change.

I bet you haven't even watched the best anime from the last 5 years

They both do, it's just different tropes.

It's just that one of the extremely common tropes in anime is aimed squarely at massive horny losers so if you aren't the target it comes across as far more grating.

It is, quite literally, the issue that people refer to when they talk about when they say that anime has gotten worse. Heck, even people that like it will complain about its trickle down issues (such as the extreme proliferation of isekai).

There is a reason that anime has gotten hornier as a whole while at the same time giving less of a crap about actually making it even slightly tolerable to anyone who wouldn't have preferred it just be a hentai.

Log Horizon was a pretty good isekai too but it was more economics than fighting a big bad or the wronged MC going on a revenge tour

I understand, heck, I even find myself watching less and less anime. Because it's just not for me anymore.

The problem is that can lead to a form of "mental abuse," the "losers" angle of your post...and in some cases even help create more "incels." Which is not an excuse, just an explanation. Repression is no good too, for various reasons. Heck I'd argue that it's a contributing factor to Priests becoming rapists, as an aside... but again, not an excuse, but explanation. I mean why we hear such stories so often.

Plus one can criticize without the verbal abuse. Yeah? Just my two cents.

Japan should ban any anime with names where the protagonist describes the gimmick of the show to preserve the future of the medium
That's just banning light novel adaptations with extra steps.

Huh?
In religion, people are often shamed for things of the sexual nature. Which can lead to bottled up emotions, which can contribute to people "exploding" if you will...

Take that one Muslim guy that shot up the Gay club... who later was found out to have been a watcher of gay porn.

I would argue things might have been different if he was not shamed for his thoughts. That's what I'm on about.

I dunno if anything there seems to be less pervy stuff in anime, dont get me wrong its still there plenty but I have seen a whole lot less boob grabbing, panty shots, accidently falling on each other suggestively and less misinterpreted naughty situations in general. I say this and and I consume tonsss of garbage isekai.

Only one I saw semi recently that was pretty perverted was How not to Summon a Demonlord

I keep up with a decent amount. I don't like a lot of what has come out in the last 5 years and I don't like how everything is becoming generic. Gundam didn't need to be turned into a high-school drama with war far in the background.

If all you've watched this Gundam then maybe that's your problem

Have you seen any of these? None of these are generic at all.

  • Mob Psycho 100
  • Attack on Titan
  • Made in Abyss
  • Jujutsu Kaisen
  • Summertime Rendering
  • Chainsaw Man
  • Vinland Saga
  • To Your Eternity


Now this genre is flavor of the month but there's some good ones:
  • Trapped in the world of Otome game
  • My Online Grocery
  • Uncle From Another World
  • Overlord
  • Re:Zero

Most of these haven't came out in the past 5 years and there is always gems in the pile of shit. I'm just saying there is a lot more shit lately.

I do like Mob Psycho a lot.

All of these have had a season or even two come out in the past 5 years, I just looked through the seasonal airing charts.

I can't wait until the isekai trend is over.

Heck, I'm getting nostalgic for moe.
As bad as isekai can be, moe was worse. I don't miss that Era in the slightest. Honestly, though, you wouldn't know most are isekai if you skipped episode 1. They typically make little or no mention of their previous life.

SAO is cancer for popularizing isekai. It has been a decade later since the height of its popularity and we STILL haven't recovered. Who keeps greenlighting these stories to be serialized? TELL THOSE AUTHORS TO GO PICK UP A BOOK AND SEND THEIR LAZY ASSES BACK HOME.

Thankfully, there are a lot of isekai that don't have that "attacking hobbyist" vibe at all. Like Ascendance of a Bookworm. It's about a woman who gets isekai'd into a frail girl's body after she dies in an avalanche of books. The time period she gets sent to is similar to the 14th century. And her obsession with books actually helps her in this new world.

This is actually one of the ones I don't mind, yes. XD
