Genre that saved anime forever
>>145622759
I'm triggered (you)
Out of those only Re:Zero and Konosuba are good.
>>145622759
Not all of them and definitely not SAO.
It only applies to Syosetsuka ni Narou isekai. Truly the saviors of LN and Animu industry.
>>145622759
God all of those are shit. Leave it to the Japs to completely waste all that potential just to pander to virgin weebs.
>>145623385
>just to pander to virgin weebs.
Haha, you make it sound like you aren't a virgin weeb like yourself.
>>145622759
Wait, is SAO an Isekai?
>>145622759
>no isekai no seikishi monogatari
sudoku you'reself my man
>>145623483
No, kinda, maybe. Not really.
isn't bleach technically isekai?
>>145622885
They're all objectively shitExcept Nobuna
>>145622759
Is Mondaiji-tachi an isekai?
>>145623385
>virgin weebs
Isekai is shit but you're retarded. Anime isn't made for "weebs" you moron. The main market is, who would have thought, Japan.
Yah forgetting Mondaiji.
>>145623582
No, kinda, maybe. Not really.
>>145622759
log horizon and sao needs to fuck off. Gate was "okay" even with CG.
>>145623483
Of course not. No matter how people spin it the world is literally a game and not real.
>SAO
>Isekai
Video game is not isekai.
I don't know if isekai saved anime, but Drifters is coming to save isekai.
>>145622759
Harem
>>145623534
Best.
>>145624576
>protagonists aren't completely useless
Noice mayb-
>they all have superpowers and can just cut down swathes of soldiers by themselves
Fuck. Why can't we get a fucking Isekai were the protagonists don't have any special powers but instead get by by being cunning and smart? If the protagonist can just cut down everything but a select few designated rivals, him being dumb or smart doesn't really make a difference, he just swings his sword at the problem.
Whatever, I'll still enjoy Drifters I imagine.
>>145622759
That isn't urban fantasy battle harem.
>>145624922
what is konosuba
>>145624922
Alderamin has a protag like that, it's sounds great on paper but it gets dull.
>>145624922
Ever watched Hai to Gensou no Grimgar?
>>145624922
I'd love this BUT with a protagonist that isn't your generic hero type, because there have been isekais with protagonists overcoming problems with their smarts. I don't mean "oh he's an underhanded but loveable rogue" or similar (>>145625051), I mean someone in the style of Cao Cao from Three Kingdoms, Dio/DIO, or Tywin from GoT. Doesn't necessarily have to be evil, especially not edgy evil for the sake of it, but rather a proper psychopath in the truest sense of the word that will use any means to achieve his goal (e.g. Cao Cao blaming the food shortage on and executing his trusted officer for hoarding food to avoid a rebellion in the army, when it wasn't true, but it was what was needed to be done).
>>145625129
Worth watching for that last episode grapple alone
>>145625074
Alderamin sucks the mc's dick a bit too much, as everyone in the show sings his praises about just how awesome he is. It grates on your nerves after a while. I thought Tylor is a much better executed example of a smart instead of strong mc.
>>145625129
Grimgar was real shit though. They didn't get magical stuff out the ass but they were completely retarded.
>>145623582
It is, in the same vein of Isekai as NGNL. I like both but Mondaiji-tachi is better with its no-fucks-given stance.
>>145625639
Reminded me Re:Monster. Ever read it?
>>145625805
They were only realistic teenagers.
>>145624576
The isekai genre actually has a pretty long history, I wonder why it's only being looked at as one now.Honestly I thought Tensei is going to be the new hot thing.
>>145622759
Not even a genre, that's simply fantasy writting with shitty excuse for MC and plot. All the "good" Isekai would be better if they weren't isekais in first place.
>>145625639
Smart characters that solve problems through smarts and cunning are very hard to write, especially if you are going for that grounded no bullshit kinda deal you seem to. Not saying it's impossible but the author needs to be very good to keep coming up with problems and intelligent solutions to them over and over again and always keeping it fresh so it does not get old.
>>145622759
Been there, done that.
Remember that americans did isekai first.
>>145626477
>co producted by toei anhimation
No.
>>145625639
sounds like you should read dungeon defense, the MC's a genius with no physical might whatsoever, so he has to manipulate everyone to get what he wants
>>145626245
Yup, there are only two real things that separate isekai and fantasy
A) Its an easy excuse to have an ignorant MC, so there can be plenty of infodumping
B)Pander to losers who want to escape from the real world
Therefore you know a show will be shit just by virtue of being isekai, because thats the whole point of isekai
Does Rakudai Cavalry fall under this despite eventually discarding the harem idea and fixing on a single girl?
>>145626731
that's school battle harem fantasy, a separate yet near if not just as popular genre as isekai
>>145625927
You're joking right? Goblin MC from Re:Monster is the exact opposite of what he mentioned, save for the psychopath part, and it's not even the same kind of psychopath.
Cunning is something you hone when you lack strength, he's never going to pull a Cao Cao when he's a walking mass of broken skills.
>>145626824
Ah pardon me for mistaking between the two. I should have figured that out with the lack of mentioning shows that fall in that. It's a shame neither of the two can break the mold and actually figure out how to write something different.
Is there any story that has the characters start out as wimps and slowly get real power over time? I'm sure that's more like Jump stuff, but perhaps something that hits a stronger balance with character development while not being a Jump length story to do it.
>>145626945
He still
>a proper psychopath in the truest sense of the word that will use any means to achieve his goal
>>145626245
Now and Then Here and There wouldn't work, Re:Zero wouldn't work, 12 kingdoms would be far more dull than it already was, Konosuba and ZnT lose a lot of their humor.
Why is devil is a part timer there? Isn't that the exact opposite of isekai?
>>145627443
Konosuba could easily work without the isekai thing.
>>145622759
>Only know what four of those anime are.
None of them are master-pieces, two are paraded by normies like they're the second coming of Christ.Fuck Overlord. It's a shit show.
>>145627675
the show's not a very good representation of the LN
>>145622759
Make it stop
>>145622759
Dog Days
Log Horizon
SAO
Overlord
ZnT
That series with genderbent Nobunaga
Gate

Konosuba
Girls Bravo at the top right(not sure on this one)
What am I missing?
>>145622759

What does that even mean?
>>145629386
What could he mean by this?
>>145629386

>gate
i hope you like your military otaku pandering propaganda
>>145622759
>SAO
>Girls Bravo
Why are these even in the picture? Girls Bravo in particular isn't even close to any of the others, it's just another high school harem. The fantasy element is just tacked on.
Meanwhile it's still missing Outbreak Company and NGNL, assuming we're talking about stuff from within the last 10 years.
So look at this !!!!!!!!
SPOILER ALLERT THIS LEAKED FROM THE UPCOMING SEASON 2
We got Roswald that chained Subaru at the wall , and Rem trying to save him while Roswald decide to change his way to make Subaru despair to reach the Satella mind
http://b.1339.cf/blxfhxk.mp3
>>145622759
>no isekai show in fall season
Why the fuck is this allowed?
They need to adapt Atelier Tanaka already
>>145631516
>no battle harem either
Is the anime industry finally saved?
How come this one never comes up anymore? Watching it now and it's just pure unadulterated fun
Seems like once the trap Lelouch novelty wore off everyone forgot about it
>>145625051
He can steal warm panties from girls, that like the best superpower ever
>>145622885
Stfu
>>145631615
More like being pussified, its becoming tumblr friendly each passing year
>>145632083
how so?
>>145622759
How is Girls Bravo an isekai?
>>145632212
Lots of "strong women who need no men" shows being made instead of shows where the women are just eye candy
>>145626477
Reminder that isekai was 90% of American fantasy before Lord of the Rings got popular in the 70s and got so bad that they were already writing deconstructions in the 60s.
>Pic related is 1977 but Poul Anderson wrote one in 1956.
>>145627773
People keep claiming this, but every Overlord thread seems to have the exact same edgy teenager shit that made me hate the show.
>>145632564
Why is this a bad thing?
And also this is definitely not a new thing.
>>145632744
>Why is this a bad thing?
I didnt knew i was talking to tumblr
Carry on
Anyway, post your favorite isekai.
I loved this book as a kid. Too bad the sequels get retarded with Catholic dogma. (As in, the main character trips over a stick, screams damnit, and all the other characters are upset as he's literally damned the stick to hell.)
>>145632786
You got some sort of vendetta aginst women or something?
>>145631516
Atelier Tanaka is a MANLY NOVEL. WIZARDS RULE!
>>145632786
So you don't actually have an answer?
What exactly is wrong with characters who actually have a character outside of loving the MC's dick?
>>145632464
Forgot picture.
>>145632820
Forgot pic on this one as well, dangit.
>>145632861
Its tumblr pandering, females shouldnt do anything besides look pretty
>>145632861
>>145632917
He's just memeing, ignore him.
>>145632464
Drifters has the "let's invent gunpowder" thing, it's pretty neat.
>>145625129
I sure like glorified music commercials.
>>145632870
>>145632870
Is this the one where the D&D group get transported to a fantasy realm? Only had a book a few entries in but the plot was about no longer having a tech advantage because other countries were coming up with magic guns
>>145625639
Just read Dungeon Defense for that.
>>145623582
Yeah, but Mondaiji was actually fun.
Is time for another "/a/ reveals that it knows nothing about the subject they talk about" thread?
>>145622885
Reeeeeeee: 0 is poor man's Edge of Tomorrow.
>>145632703
The threads also aren't a good representation of the LN. The threads used to be mediocre, but not too bad. They've been nothing but a circlejerk with the same five people for quite a while now though.
>>145632647
>young girl he rapes on a self loathing power-trip in the first book comes back in another
>she's old and mindbroken
Thomas Covenant was a ride
>>145627773
It's a pretty good representation of just how little happened in the first three volumes, I'd rather reread The Lizard War than put myself through the first three volumes again.
>>145632703
>judging anything by the fanbase
Nigga, no.
>>145631516
Sadly old men as MCs don't sell too well. Which is also why I'll never see stuff like KENS or Beastman merc and his witch buddy adapted. Cute girls as fantasy MCs don't sell too well either so we're stuck with bland teenage protags forever.
>>145633370
>Cute girls as fantasy MCs don't sell too well
Thank god
>>145633123
You mean All You Need Is Kill right
>>145633566
Subaru treats loops as if it were his own life. That's why he is so hesitant on dying. Don't compare them.
>>145633370
> Old men as mc.
Why can't we have more of that? Why couldn't this dude become the mc?
Why all those MMO animes smell like Ragnarok?
>>145623385
GETOFF MY FUCKING BOARD YOU GODDAMN NORMALFAG
>>145633864
Because then there'd be no romantic interest, it'd just be the MC's daughterfus.
>>145633864
>Why can't we have more of that?
Are you illiterate?
>>145633370
>old men as MCs don't sell too well
>>145633919
Yea but you can pander to the west by making him some old war vet with muh ptsd who chased after his missing son/daughter into the fantasy land.
>>145633958
>the west
When was the last time the Nips actually made anime for the west without being hired/requested by the west?
>>145631516
I wonder when Youjo Senki will air...maybe in winter or spring?
>>145634118
when the west cried racism and demanded they change or hillary drone attacks them all.
>>145633958
Why would you want it to pander to the west? Hell no.
12 kingdoms is Isekai?
Escaflowne is Isekai?
>>145634570
Escaflowne is WHORE-core
Inuyasha is Isekai?
Fushigi Yuugi is isekai?
>>145633958
Or just leave the man as he is, a skilled veteran in combat. The young ones summoned from different worlds disrespect him until he shows off in battle. Also, western audiences don't respect the elderly as much.
>>145633919
The only waifu old dudes need is their wrinkly wives or deceased.
>>145634678
More like time travel. I forget what the story was trying to do by the end.
>>145634517
>>145634570
>>145634725
Yes. Yes, they are.
>Genre that saved anime forever
Na, Endride didn't save anything and it was Isekai.
>>145634924
What the fuck was this show doing? I forgot. Those pants and designs somehow really turned me off.
>>145635011
Deconstruction
Plebs like you wouldnt understand
>>145635082
In order to have a deconstruction, you have to reconstruct it in the long run. And no, Madoka is not a deconstruction.
>>145623548
No, what the hell do you think Isekai means?
>>145635299
Shitty anime?
>>145623548
>>145635299
Bleach is more like another realm. Not world.
>>145635354
It is called, another world. And no, SAO is not isekai. That's stuck in a mmorpg.
>>145622759
(You)
>>145624922
>by being cunning and smart
Because the entire genre is fantasy wish fulfillment bait for retarded teenage ESLfags. You can't write a smart character unless you yourself know how smart people think, and the people who write this shit are not smart people. You'll either get an asspull disguised as a clever and cunning plan, or at best, everyone else acting extra retarded to make the self insert totally relatable former otaku loser MC seem smart by comparison.
>>145622759
>Hataraku Maou Sama
>Isekai
Unless you're talking about Maou's perspective, and even then, it really doesn't count.
America have Capeshit, Japan Isekaishit, what is Europe thing?
>>145622759
Still the best isekai.
>>145627459
I was gonna ask the same thing. I guess, relative to the characters the story is told through it is Isekai. There's no rule saying that the other world can't be this one since they didn't start on Earth. I thought it was neat going from a world of medieval fantasy/magic to our boring, grounded reality.
>>145622759
