It's 'people from earth go to a fantasy world'. That's isekai. Just because they're not ordinary high school students doesn't make it not isekai.

Doesn't Goku always come and go from another worlds too? That's basically the whole DBZ storyline, anyways, not the point. Drifters doesn't feel that much of an Isekai, more like a crazy game like Battle Royale but with historical figures.

Dunbine/escaflowne tops all/

>>149502040
Isekai is "Person from earth is teleported/transported/reincarnated/etc" to fantasy world. It's not space exploration, it's a very specific genre with very specific tropes.

>Drifters doesn't feel that much of an Isekai, more like a crazy game like Battle Royale but with historical figures.

...who are transported into a fantasy world, making it an isekai.

>>149502011
Shit is easily forgotten. I mean, do you remember every time you take a dump?

>>149502037
I'm talking about the semantics of what makes something isekai, haven't seen that yet, though I really don't bother with isekai threads

>>149502141
Something sounds off about your explanation, the difference being that one is fantasy and the other is "real"? Also
>what's DBZ heaven arc
Though I could say the same about Hunter x Hunter and Greed Island.

>>149502433
>what's DBZ heaven arc

Filler. Also, heaven in DBZ is a real physical place that you can just walk/teleport into and out of. Don't think about it too hard.

>Though I could say the same about Hunter x Hunter and Greed Island.

Greed Island is also a real place in-story, and also not isekai because it took place in a fantasy world to begin with.

>>149502141
That's like saying that a novel is a "romance" novel if it has a couple in it. Just like how GoT has characters who romance each other and it isn't categorized as a romance novel, Drifters has people from earth transported to a fantasy world, but it isn't an "isekai" anime.

>>149502503
>, Drifters has people from earth transported to a fantasy world, but it isn't an "isekai" anime.
>drifters meets the ONE criteria to be an isekai but it isn't an isekai

Drifters has been fun so far. Obunaga, yoichi and Iyoyasu(did I spell that right?) are a pretty great cast and I like how hirano depicts tactics, strategy and warfare. I just wish he'd cut back on the autistic humor.

Should I read the manga though? I kind of want to get more of the story without waiting so long.

>>149502011
People tend to do that when you go to jail.

>>149502040
Drifters don't feel litrpg.
They're isekai allright.

>>149502554
The anime has basically just been the manga with a neat OP and ED, so if you play those in the background and read it you'll get the same experience.

>>149502503
You're like those faggots who think Japanese cartoons aren't anime, and RWBY is. "It doesn't feel like the usual flavor of X, so it isn't X, even though it meets the criteria that make something X".

>>149502554
>I just wish he'd cut back on the autistic humor
I like it though. It's like shitposting, but in real life.

>>149502503
No, anon, it's like saying GoT is a fantasy series even though it's mostly about middle-ages politics and the fantasy elements aren't really the focus.

>>149502040

>not much of an isekai
>entire premise is important historical figures going to another world
>isekai means other world

It's as isekai as it comes. If by isekai you mean bakaoniichanharemgenericprotagwithoutpersonalitygoesfantasyandbecomesdemonlordorhero then you are picking a EXTREMELY specific part of the isekai genre.

>>149502643
But people being pulled into another world is a pretty fucking big focus of Drifters, you fucking moron. Besides, something being an isekai isn't tangent upon the amount of time dedicated to driving home the fact that it is an isekai anyway.

>>149502657

It's fantasy alright.

>>149502522

>one criteria of an isekai

Nah. There's more than one factor in isekai. RPG elements. High Fantasy. Shitty generic protag who turns out to be a god tier being on some level. Shitty harem of random waifus.

Isekai is a very specific genre of interdimensional travel. It's specifically targeting bored middle age or neets who are bored with their lives and need escapism where they aren't working a 9-5 but can't enjoy shit where they can't self insert.

The only thing Drifters has from isekai is the other world scenario but thats only a small part of the shit that it has. The protag is well defined and focused in Drifters. He's not some no name betamax virgin who somehow gets ball deep in the finest pussy in the land.

>>149502608
The guy has a point though. Inuyasha and Bleach are isekais, but nobody refer at them as "isekai". Your RWBY comparison it's way too out of proportion since it's a much more clear field, and I think that calling you a faggot would be appropriate, but I won't.

>>149502784
>There's more than one factor in isekai. RPG elements. High Fantasy. Shitty generic protag who turns out to be a god tier being on some level. Shitty harem of random waifus.

No. There's one. All that other stuff is just common tropes of the genre. This is not hard to understand, anon.

>>149502564

oh well that'll give him plenty of time to write some new content while he's in jail

I liked ZnT more at least it understood humor.

>>149502711
>but also what 90% of the genre falls into.
That's still fucking irrelevant. Is NGE not a mecha anime because it acts differently from other mecha anime and subverts the cliches? Is Madoka not a mahou shoujo because mahou shoujo were typically not dark before it was made? That's not how things work.

>>149502836

You fucking retard. You absolute fucking mongloid. Do you not even get how this fucking works? Do you not even know what an isekai means? And are we even watching the same series, you piece of waste? Did you totally miss the entire part about how the main focus of the show is pulling people into another world? What the fuck is wrong with you? Is should be calling you a faggot, and I will, you fucking faggot nigger.

>It means "other world". Sekai is a word for world and i- is a modifier. You can also see it in the word iseijin, which is i + seijin (person) and is a word for alien. ... Isekai (異世界) is a noun that means parallel universe, another/other/different dimension world
Tell me again how drifters is not isekai, especially when the parallel world stuff is the focus of the series.

>>149502851
DB is isekai then.
Bleach is isekai then.
Yu yu hakusho is isekai then.

The endless specifics you can do with isekai meaning 'another world' is that it's so undefined that it can't be a genre.

>>149503068
Isekai is going to another world without known means of getting back.
Living a life in alien world is what isekai is.
Going between worlds\planes of same World is not Isekai.

>>149502927
What about reading my whole comment and a few more above before replying like a total retard? The main focus of the show is how this world full of crazy military minds develops, just like the main focus of Bleach and Inuyasha are entirely different from just being "isekai". And RWBY is not an anime, it doesn't matters if it looks made for the motherfucking Miyazaki, it's not and it's made outside of Japan, there's no argument in there.

>>149503068
Anon, 'horror' is just 'scary', 'romance' means 'people who want to fuck', and 'fantasy' is almost impossible to define and for any definition you give you'll probably be able to find a story or two that doesn't fit but is still fantasy. That's how genres work.

>>149503184
The main focus of the show is how crazy military minds from Earth are faring in another world.
Which is Isekai by definition.
What the fuck are you lot even argue about?
It's literally another world where people from Earth are transported.

>>149503137
>Isekai is going to another world without known means of getting back.

Not him but Outbreak Company and GATE are considered isekai.

>>149503237
I don't know about Outbreak Company and I didn't finish the GATE.
Wasn't there a moment where they could not get back and were forced to resort to muskets?

>>149503269
What? Anyways, what you are trying to say doesn't make sense, being held back make it an isekai? By this new definition now every show mentioned in this thread it is an Isekai, though that's what I been trying to say.

>They tipped their arrows in literal feces

Is this an actual tactic that Japs used?

>isekai this, isekai that, stuff isekai in where it doesn't fit for good measure
