"ISEKAI IS SHIT!"

Are you trying to imply those aren't shit? Ask yourself if anyone would watch them if not for the waifus, because nobody would.

Your post is as stupid as "who would go to a restaurant if not for the food."

I'm sorry you're so insecure about your taste OP

>>146799600
KonoSuba would probably still be good if the three main heroines were all boys.

Haha I love le waifus im such a weeb hope senpai notice me xD

>>146799788
It's enough to know my taste is objectively better than yours.

>>146799600
konosuba has shit waifus and is generally shit but I'm guessing /a/'s standards have fallen low enough that it stands head and shoulders above the rest

(it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't constantly going on about "this isn't like my isekai fantasy at all!" the thing that makes these series shit is that they don't even aim to have plot. worldbuilding, relatable or realistic or even interesting characters and are simply content to tick all the boxes of other series with similar stories with a new coat of paint)

Wouldn't Digimon be considered Isekai?

>>146800037
The authors of Konosuba and Re:Zero are good friends. I ship them.

Emilia and Megumin share the VA.

Also, both are meant to parody/criticize the typical otaku protagonist. Both juxtapose its MC with a cliche overpowered "hero" white knight to underline the fact that the MC is NOT a hero.

And while Re:Zero is pretty controversial, KonoSuba was widely accepted as pretty fun, especially considering it came from studio known for ruining everything they touch.

It sold so well S2 is already announced.

...So yes, you should.

>>146800202
Isekai needs a power-fantasy component where the MC/s otherwise are useless or weak in their daily lives. There also needs to be a slice of life element as well.

It's getting there, but I can't see much Slice of Life in Digimon

>>146800202
Similarities:
>thrown into new world
>new world is substantially better than old world
>get lots of friends

Differences:
>the new world is connected to the old world
>protagonists weren't friendless losers before
>protagonists are children, rather than young adults
>no easily accessible romantic options

Especially the last two options make this different from the scorned manchild-pandering isekai types.

>>146800503
>Isekai needs a power-fantasy component where the MC/s otherwise are useless or weak in their daily lives.
This.
This is the most important feature of isekai.

>>146800202
Yes. And it was great

>>146800579
So by that metric, Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari is not an isekai since Kenshi is a mary sue everywhere.

>>146800037
No. Konosuba is unfunny as fuck.

konosuba was pretty shit. It got okay towards the end. It was saved by megumin.

Re:zero is okay. I wouldn't consider it isekai because they pull away from that and make it more fantasy. It's not like SAO or knsb where you're constantly reminded you're trapped in some fuckin game

>>146799494
Re:Zero is shit.

>>146801083
Yeah, this.

>>146801018
I don't consider Twelve Kingdoms to be Isekai, since it's way too good compared to other Isekai shit

>>146799494
Both are good. The only reason people hate on them is because the want to be different so they hate it. Because you know being different makes you cool. Ok brah we get it.

>>146799996
It's a deconstruction anon. That means they can do literally everything the same as your typical isekai, but it's ironic. I know, this is highbrow stuff, not for moeshitters with no taste.

>>146799494
Re:Zero was amazing for the first 7 eps precisely because it wasn't really isekai trash. It was an amazing whodunit. After episode 7 it became typical Isekai wish fufillment and has been shit ever since.

Konosuba's popularity is 1000% due to the girls. Has absolutely nothing to do with it being isekai.

>>146800646
Interesting point. I'm was not sure which of those two aspects I should've called the defining aspect of isekai, but I was pretty sure that it's one of those two:

Either further empowerment from a somewhat average baseline,
or empowerment as a huge contrast to a previously lower than average state of power.

But then I realized: Both are a form of power fantasy, because the states that should be compared are not two states within the universe, but rather the state of the viewer and the protagonist.
In the first case, the viewer gets the feeling of empowerment through simply self-inserting into an average guy, whom he doesn't hold up to in his real life, but shares some aspects, like hobbies. In the second case, he self-inserts into an unempowered protagonist likened a lot to him, who then becomes empowered in place of the viewer.

It should also be noted that just because a work has "isekai" in its title, doesn't mean that it is one, because "isekai" is not the sort of term that becomes applicable by the creator simply saying that it should be categorized as such, contrary to a term like "anime of which the creator says that it's isekai".

>>146801123
I like how the anime only guy got a revolver but he was too insane to do anything worthwhile with it by that point.

>>146800037
Konosuba is way better than Re:Zero, it's the best comedy in years. I enjoy Re:Zero, but mostly just as this crazy roller coaster ride, not because it's really good or anything.

>>146801761
>best comedy in years

Dungeon Meshi is far better at comedy than it.

>>146801282
> because it wasn't really isekai trash. It was an amazing whodunit.
I don't know what the fuck you were watching, but Re:Zero is no mystery anime where there's a genuine puzzle to be solved.
It was recognizable as isekai right from the second scene on. The way they transitioned from the normal to the fantasy world should've told you that they, in typical isekai fashion, will totally disregard the normal world from that point on, which they also managed to do. Save for a single 1-second flashback to the shop, there is literally no callback to the normal world in 24 episodes so far. Heck, we know almost nothing about the normal world. We weren't even shown his family, and we are not going to be, because the normal world has been abandoned by the story.

Consider the following:

>The MC is a college student with a retail job and girlfriend. The Mc has been dating his girlfriend for awhile now (3 years+), and is rather indecisive if he want to keep being with her (As she's rather pushy and tries to tie him down) or try to seeing new people and do new things on his own.
>One day when his girlfriend tries to confront him on their relationship and if they should continue pursuing it. Before the MC can say what he wants to do, his girlfriend is Isekai'd through a portal by a mysterious entity and kidnapped. The Mc follows her and ends up a in a high fantasy world, where he runs into a girl who is basically a fantasy version of his girlfriend (She's a complete opposite of the real one) who is involved with a conspiracy going in the world.
>The plot of the story focuses on the MC trying to locate his girlfriend that got kidnapped. While doing that he spends time with the girl who is the fantasy version of his girlfriend, and other people which makes him evaluate himself. What does he want to do with his life, and his relationship with his girlfriend and if he should go after another girl after saving her.
>Its a journey of self-discovery, improvement, and relationships with fantasy. MC also doesn't have any powers and is average.

Now would you read it?

Real world anime is shit

>>146799494
And from all the examples you could have use to "defend your point" you pick those two? You are a retard.

>>146800037
I found the two shows compliment each other really well.

>>146799494
All I see in that pic is isekai trash overrated by memesters

>>146801250
I know, sadly being ironic isn't the same as being good.

>>146801556
oddly enough I enjoyed the anime only content for the added dose of nihilism and the final scene with the imperial decree that tied into his eventual fate resolved that storyline in a way that was satisfying for me at least

I love threads like this that are guaranteed to be full of shit flinging.

>>146799962
If it was enough you wouldn't be making this thread. You clearly lack too much given your need to sustain yourself through shit posting.

>>146801282
These are my thoughts exactly. I'm surprised people aren't pointing this out more, maybe they have and I can't find it between the 15 threads of shitposting, but I was expecting this to be the consensus.
The real thing that I hate about Re:Zero is that it starts so promisingly, only to turn into the same old shit. It just takes a 180 into shounen edge and never looks back. Woah crooked necks and biting your own fingers?? So messed up!

Compare that to the subtle and unsettling way Subaru bleeds out in the loothouse. His panic and terror at the idea of dying is something we don't usually get to see the MC of a series like this grapple with. And yet, it makes perfect sense. A nobody kid transported to an alien world would most likely end up dead pretty soon one way or another. Its frustrating to see them throw away a great premise like they did. But the worst part is that people actually prefer the same old narrative so why would they bother doing anything else?

>>146801556
And reminder that you literally can't make the setting go industrialization because they don't have the materials like we do.

Or at least, not as easy. Only Youko has modern knowledge after all and now she's busy with saving Taiki.

Give her a couple hundred years without her going crazy and maybe the world will advance.

>>146802134
No, consider THIS:

>MC and friendos are doing generic Japanese teenager shit in generic Japanese town/city setting
>MC's best friendo is above average in most things and all the girls in their friendo group have crushes on him
>MC is below average or just doesn't really stand out
>one day MC and best friendo are walking home
>MC turns away for a second, probably brooding about how he's the cuckold in their friend circle
>turns back at best friendo and he's mysteriously vanished
>quick scene where best friendo is thrown into another world
>immediately goes back to MC
>anime is generic slice of life about boring-ass MC and his group of friends adjusting to life without their missing friend
>MC slowly learns to come out of his shell and stand out more, learning that he's unique in his own way and doesn't need to stand in anyone's shadow to define himself

>>146802134
I would.

>>146799494

At this point I'm starting to think that Re:Zero is the most overrated anime of the decade. Even more than SnK and SAO, I mean, at least with those two there's a general consensus that both are trash but with Re:Zero there are people who unironically think is somekind of "masterpiece" of the anime.

>>146799621

>>146800037

Konosuba was this year's sleeper, no really expected it to be good and it took everyone by surprise. It has a visibly low budget, but the jokes and timing are pretty good.

>KonoSuba would probably still be good if the three main heroines were all boys.

Darkness would be 100x creepier which would equate to being 100x more interesting of a character if Dark was a guy. Megumin would be the same regardless of her gender. I mean, you can only explode one way. Aqua would definitely take a hit since Kaz looks at her as the heroine that just won't work out romantically for him.

none. Eventually they all turn to shit because it got popular and the author (amateurs) don't know what do with their story.

These LNs/WNs have great beginnings or at least the first 2-3 volumes. But almost all go downhill fast after that.

Not only that, almost none of the MC uses any info from the modern world to get ahead in the world they get transferred to. If they do use something, it's few and too far apart.

Konosuba is fine. Re;zero is pile of overrated shit. Subaru is one of the most annoying MC of all time. He is bipolar switching from his Shinji persona to his Kirito persona.

I had a hilarious idea for an Isekai one shot. Person summoned from our world accidentally spreads a bunch of diseases including small pox. 90% of the population dies. Including the demon lord. Prophecy complete.

>>146816730
Wow, that is hilarious, anon.

No, not really

>>146815339
Knights and Magic is top of my list. At least the parts that are not machine translated and practically unreadable. I've read a number of isekai that I enjoy for what they are but I'm actually fairly willing to talk up Knights and Magic.

I think reincarnation works better then summoning as it can create a better divide between oldworld and new world character. It also allows the character to get ahead purely on intellect without needing cheating. As is the case in this one where the main character is an obsessed mecha otaku/programmer whom starts serious daily training from a young age to reach his goals.

He has no major cheats beyond a strong understanding of logic. He builds up everything from there. The magic in the world he winds up in works in a logical way that's similar enough to programming to allow him to be very strong at magic design.

From there it's all about him making crazy giant mechs. Until the translation goes bad.

You know it might be wrong saying this since I never read Konosuba LN or WN but i never understood how it became such a hit.
The anime seemed no different from the usual light hearted isekai parody adventures like Nidoume No Jinsei and that reincarnated lich dude died to the raijus and wants to prove to the humans that black magic is good and so on.

The humour seemed stale and kind of
'kiddy' like you often see in these sorts of series. I guess its just me when I prefer more crazy stuff like Detroit Metal City when it comes to humour.

>>146816730
The person in question would have to be sickest mofo in the world to spread anything but the common cold. People aren't even vaccinated against smallpox anymore are they so he'd be sick too.

What was that story where nip blacksmith ended up in some late bronze age backwater world?

>>146816911
Magi's grandson works almost like that.

In there the MC reincarnates as a baby and regains his memories on the day of an accident. An old wizard finds him and adopts him and teaches him his magic, hunting and foraging skills, then learns enchanting and swordskills with other people who visit the old man. He never learns common sense though, so he's sent to a magic academy to learn social skills and expand his world.

The magic works there by using your imagination to form the magic you wish to use, it was originally chantless but it became less common when they tried to imitate the power of the old wizard so they chant to make up for this so they can form their image in their heads better. Having a clear image of what you wish to cast is also not enough, you also need a firm control of your magic power and increase the magical power you use for more powerful and complex spells.

Not only does the mc have a clear image of what he wishes to cast because he has his memories when he reincarnated, he also imagines the process behind the magic itself. Like fire needing oxygen to burn, or converging various sunrays for a solar beam attack from above.

What i like about the LN is that anyone can get to his level with enough effort, even the wizard who adopted him was able to successfully cast his "gate"(sorta like a door that links towards a ) spell with enough effort.

>>146799494
I think the best thing about these Isekais are the MCs. I mean would still watch those 2 if the waifus wouldn't be there but if it Kazuma or the suffering fucker wouldn't be there It wouldn't be as good for me

She might be a dumbass but god she's the cutest dumbass
I've never felt this attached to an animu grill before, is this what it feels to want to have a waifu?

>>146802134

How about MC isn't an average fag and is actually pretty competent. Maybe a soldier, a non-retarded cop, or something? Not like GATE where they had bullshit levels of technology to steamroll the natives with.

Why is modern isekai so shit compared to older isekai?

>>146829556
Cause you are a nostalgia faggot.

>>146829556
The escapism is so blatant that it hurts. The MC abandons the real world without a second thought and nothing ever comes of it, the protagonist is always some flavor of friendless young adult or teen, there's easily accessible romantic options, the MC is nearly always either ridiculously overpowered and/or the only male in the group so that no other man can steal his spotlight by competition, etc..

Isekai is still shit imo. I don't know what you are trying to prove with those two shows. They are average at best. I couldn't get into KonoSuba and dropped Re:Zero pretty early on.

Narou isekai is literally saving animu though. And not only animu.

Could some mediocre trash like Twelve Kingdoms and escafailowne do that? No because they were mediocre. Because they were stale. They had not an ounce of entertainment in them.

Cheesy west pandering garbage is what they were. Good Riddance.

If you switch Kazuma with Subaru you might have actually a good show in ReZero.

>I think reincarnation works better then summoning as it can create a better divide between oldworld and new world character.

It at least gets it out of the "but I want to baaaaack!" rut (AND out of the opposite: /a/'s contrarian bitching when a character doesn't want to go back badly enough).

>It also allows the character to get ahead purely on intellect without needing cheating
Hah. No, it usually only swaps one style of cheat with another. How many reincarnation stories *don't* have the character self-aware with their old memories and maturity at a super young age and then skill grind themselves into superpowers as a kid? And/or their outside mindset lets them use magic better than the locals? I was entertained by Knights and Magic and Magi's Grandson, but those guys are totally hax.

Is it just me or did "ISEKAI" become a hot meme only in like the past two weeks?

People weren't calling SAO "isekai" a year ago.

>>146835992
it's a hot new meme yes
the only reason the theme exists is to explain that Re:Zero isn't shit

Re:Zero is pretty bad, though. The MC is insufferable and the writing is just kind of nothing. It almost has an interesting gimmick, though, so I'll give it that. And Konosuba is a parody story.

The only isekai I like enough to mention is kumo ga nani ka, and that turns to shit later on. At least the manga is fun so far.

>>146835992
Because SAO basically started this new wave of fucking shitty isekai WNs. (Yes, trapped in an MMO is a little different, but so many of these garbage stories are basically video games anyways)

>>146835992
What happened is that people switched from complaining about "trapped in a video game" to complaining about isekai, and lumped the former into the latter.

>>146800503
>Isekai needs a power-fantasy component where the MC/s otherwise are useless or weak in their daily lives. There also needs to be a slice of life element as well.
This is overly specific as fuck.

People learned a new word so they started using it
That and there are at least a few people that keep making threads dedicate to the genre that reach bump limit

>>146835992
Because SAO is not even an isekai

Isekai mainly referrs to Transported or Reincarnated to a different world type of stories that come from Syosetsuka ni narou(Which is basically an isekai breeding ground). They are mostly WNs that got picked up and adapted into LNs and now even into anime series.
>>146836146
Nah it didn't.

>>146834513
Kazuma's humour works in his series because the girls are immature, silly or easily flustered so his straight man routine is flawless. In Re:Zero almost everyone other character who isn't a cat of some sort plays the straight man role so it doesn't work.

>>146834513
If you replace Kazuma with any MC ever you automatically have a good show. I mean Kazuma is the main reason why I love KonoSuba so much anyway.

Why haven't mods moved this thread to /jp/ yet?

Waiting for someone to make modern Isekai that isn't light novel garbage.

I marathoned 23 episodes. Went to bed at 5AM and woke up at 8AM to go to university.

Fucking tired, but worth it.
