It's a fundamental change to anime. It's not going anywhere, ever.

I thought Gin no Guardians was Isekai

>implying you like Konosuba because it's isekai
It shits on isekai remember? It's like saying you watch EVA for the mechs.

>>154762920
For the last fucking time, Konosuba is not a satire/parody of the isekai genre. It's merely a particularly comedic/absurd take on the premise.

It doesn't lampoon the basic cliches and assumptions of the genre. Kazuma still appreciates his life in the new world to a degree, he still has a harem of cute girls whose cuteness outweighs their flaws, he still gets to live the dream once in a while. It's not attempting to be a scathing parody at all.

I feel like people are labeling Konosuba a parody simply so they can say "I-I don't like the REST of the trash isekai, only Konosuba because it makes fun of them!" Kind of like how people label Re:Zero a "deconstruction" as well because they're retarded.

Fuck you EVA works very well as a mecha show.
It's got some excellent monster of the week stuff in it.

>>154762633
Good. Isekai on its own will never come close to being insulting in the way dumb ecchi and harem shows are.

>>154763086
>it's not funny because it's racist but because it's making fun of racism
Indeed. Same kind of mental gymnastics for Isekai here.

>>154763086
To be completely fair. Good parodies aren't meant to be scathing or off-handed insults to the topics they're parodying. They completely embrace it and even celebrate it at times.

Which is why most of the best parodies about something are written by the very people who come from that subculture to begin with.

Narou is basically fanfiction.net without the fan fiction. It's where nips go to self-publish their shitty wish fulfillment power fantasy stories and lately light novel publishers have been grabbing the more popular stories on the site and giving them official publishing deals. Mahouka, GATE, Log Horizon, Maoyuu, Overlord, Youjo Senki, and Konosuba are all formerly from Narou, with Log Horizon being the first isekai novel from there to be given an anime adaption (and Maoyuu from the same tax evading author being one of the first Narou anime adaptions).

>>154764790
That's actually a really nice movement. I enjoy seeing things become more democratized, and for authors to have more avenues for moving up in the world.

Mamare was great.

>>154763086
I don't like it because it's a parody.

I like it because it gives alot of personality to the characters that represent the other world while also providing a competent main character in the world he joins while still being able to provide laughs.

Characters all have good chemistry with one another and they're not completely tethered to the MC to provide quality entertainment too which cannot be said with too many others in the genre.

>>154764790
So can someone from /a/ write there and show the nips what a good story should be about?

>>154763132
This guy speaks the truth

What's the next big thing lads?

>>154765067
Reverse isekai will dominate anime from 2018 through 2023, characters from fantasy worlds coming to the real world.

>>154765067
I'd say anti-heroic tales, but it already had its chance and simply nobody took a notice.

Aren't we getting SAO s3 this year? It was supposed to be announced after the movie.

That's probably the most popular isekai.

>>154765067
VNs will make a comeback.

>>154762515
Just marathoned through all the episodes today and honestly i was expecting more from all the hype. I enjoyed the first season well enough as i saw it as a kind of refresher from the standard power fantasy side of things that these isekai anime so often tell and it did go somewhat out of its way to avoid, comment, or subvert the tropes that go along with it but quickly in season two that same shtick began to get old. I dont know if it's just from them spinning their wheels on the same jokes and "subversions" that every critic and their mom was praising it for or just a feeling that it wasnt trying as hard to be as clever anymore.

But its got waifus so whatever it'll probably stick around but i cant see myself sitting through another season.

Isekai isn't a fad, it's been happening forever. Zero no Tsukaima was Isekai.

>>154762515
It's truly a mysterious phenomenon. I mean, we've been bogged down in Isekais for a couple years now, and suddenly there's a break? Did Japan run out of ideas? Or maybe they're not keeping up? It's not like Isekai became unpopular all of a sudden.

>>154765611
>tfw isekai is so cancerous it literally gave the author cancer

>>154765541
I think that the praise here is just for it being a comedy anime at all. Those are so rare that when one of them come, we will all like it, even if we agree that it's not that good.

>>154764027
Is this true? If it is then LH made an impact in the industry like Eva.

>>154765756
SAO was what started this fad, even if it's arguably not a "true" isekai.

>>154765820
In the anime sector perhaps, but in the web novel sector it was Mushoku Tensei, even if it didn't have "true" JRPG mechanics.

>>154765820
>SAO
>Isekai
Even if it was, there were still isekai anime from decades before.

>>154765891
Fantasy world reincarnation was already a popular jerkoff premise for amateur writers prior to Mushoku Tensei, MT just solidified a lot of the common cliches seen nowadays due to spawning a ton of copycats thanks to its status as the most popular narou novel.

These things always go in phases

Accidental marriage/engagement
cyberpunk
Club/council presidents
Demon Lord
Magical high school battles

Only annoyance is there's no sign of Isekai letting up. There's even a fucking magazine of nothing but isekai.

>>154765930
Starting a fad != coming up with the premise.

SAO is responsible for the resurgence, not the creation of isekai stories.

>>154765988
I'd still take isekai over battle harems anyday.

Fall 2015 of anime was a blight upon human history. Fucking Fafnir no Shinmai Maou to Seiken Tsukai no Absolute Duo all in the same season, Christ. And then Rakudai Kishi no Asterisk War happened soon after.

So when are we going to get a manga of the LN where the guy is reincarnated as a hot spring?

We're talking about that good shit with neetakumoris being transferred to the fantasy land.

That's the thing that Shield Hero, Mushoku Tensei, Re: Zero, Outbreak Company, Konosuba, et al share in common.

Genderbending aka Youjo senki and Magical girl thingy coupled with Isekai. We probably get anti heroes as well but thats probably not a big thing.

Isekai needs to innovate and nips are fundamentaly handicapped on that department so expect small changes like genderbends, Yaoi, Yuri meshed in to the formula. Sure, these existed before but noe theyll get popular

>>154766683
Here and There. Well, he wasn't a neet but he really grows up after everything and gets his shit together.

>>154767050
Every possible permutation of isekai has already been written and uploaded onto some dark corner of the web but you know that the publishers are only going to bet on the safe, samey shit in the top 20 list of popularity/sales.

Is it still isekai if it happens in the MC's head when he's in a coma?

>>154767103
Of course. This applies to any fiction. That's like saying "Is it still isekai when it's in a book?"

>>154767050
I wish we could hurry up and get a decent yaoi isekai. With the fujo and otome market getting more and more attention i'm just wondering why it's taking so long.

>>154767203
Only if the love interest is a trap.

all anime is isekai

>>154767255
Well if the protag gets their big traveling band of boys and men he could potentially get anyone. That goes more into harem territory probably and would dilute the one on one romance. Guess it just depends what kind of direction they want to go in.

Cloudy eyes has proven to have been pretty fun and comfy, most of the MC's excuses for not caring about these things is because

Isekai and others with fantasy settings are popular because this planet is boring and uninteresting. There's a reason why SoL moeshit/romanceshit zero fantasy always have a mediocre amount of audience and popularity. Well-executed otherworldly settings are always the game changer for attracting lots of audience and reverse isekai doesn't do that.

It'd be something if she got brought over as a literal plain japanese woman.

>>154762515
Japan hottest fad right now is adventure and exploration

So what's really new isn't isekai, it's the creative bankruptcy of reincarnation (meaning they don't particularly give any fucks about the old world) and "cheats"(meaning they can power fantasy away any challenge)

>>154774022
also slapping mmo stuff together instead of worldbuilding

>>154773658
More often than not in these otome isekai the main love interest of the game (usually the prince) is still paired up with the original heroine because it would put the former villainess-turned-reincarnator in a bad light if she were to NTR the heroine. In other words, she'd be a straight up villainess, not a reformed one.

But all the other love interests are fair game. Usually the MC ends up with "dark horse" character of the game who isn't important in the original story but ended up massively popular with fans, or an outright minor character... there are an unusually high number of stories where they go full gay for the heroine as well.

>literal plain Japanese woman
I think you mean "exotic foreigner with raven black hair, charming upturned eyes and a lithe, modest figure who proceeds to deny all those compliments and stutter that she's not cute at all because after all, how could an awkward girl with no experience whose high school love life might as well have been extinct and has long passed her youthful years slaving away in a corporate lifestyle attract the attention of a prince-like character who seems to exude kira kira~ effects like this?".

Can we have a main character who actually treats the other world seriously for once and doesn't do meta commentary on everything?

Every fucking MC has to be genre savvy these days, it's fucking unbearable. It's gotten to the point where most of them literally say "this is just like one of my Japanese web novel fictions!" in the first few pages. It's not funny anymore.

I never said it was famous in the West.

Describe the ideal world you'd like to be isekai'd to, /a/.

Kirito goes into a coma because of the evil NSA.

The surviving Law guys try to train up a peasant army in preparation for the Chaos invasion (Chaos are led by the literal God of Darkness who is also an evil NSA agent who eats souls like rape).

They get rekt, but Kirito's harem save them with GM accounts and deebeezeee powerlevels.

NSA connect UW to the internet and get 50,000 American players to connect (it was advertized to them as a beta test for a new AO-rated VRMMO where you're allowed to slaughter anything and everything you like, with blood and guts), they mass murder UW residents and think it's hilarious.

To defeat them the main characters get 2,000 Japanese VRMMO players to connect. Despite the difference in numbers the Japanese are superior and win because Asian gamer damashii.

Then PoH (who is also an evil NSA agent) unleashes a zerg rush of Korean and Chinese gamers who were recruited by being told this is the a Korean VRMMO that's in beta test but evil Japanese hackers broke into the server, turned off pain dampening and are torturing their countrymen.

Even when some Japs who speak Korean try to explain the situation to them they don't listen because hurr japanese

The other NSA guys are surprised this works, they thought it wouldn't be worth it because they didn't think Japan is more different from Korea/China than European countries are from each other (hur)

Koreans and Chinese overwhelm Japs because this is every Jap's worst nightmare.

Kirito wakes up (thanks to the literal POWER OF LOVE from his entire harem) and wipes them all out in one attack though.

(Also PoH's motivation is that he's Korean and he hates Japanese so when he got stuck in SAO he decided to set up Laughing Coffin and have them and the clearers kill each other for shits and giggles because Nips killing each other is hilarious.)

Kirito and Asuna become gods because of x10000000 acceleration.

The AIs explore VR space with rocket dragons.

>>154772112
besides humans (Maribel, Sanae, Sumireko), even gods (Kanako), youkai (Mamizou, Nue) and lunarians get Isekai'd. Even Game Boys (and any kind of forgotten things, like dodo birds) get Isekai'd. Also, it's possible that other humans get isekai'd into it ("spirited away") to serve as youkai food (although it's also possible that youkai only really need the humans' fear, instead of actually attacking to kill them), or they accidentally enter it (and Reimu guides them out if they want to leave).

If you count Seihou, even android maids get isekai'd into it.

People liking something doesn't change the fact that it is poorly written. The fact of what it is (an isekai harem fantasy) just makes it more likely. The people who are fans of this are fans of the idea of it, not its execution.
You can literally see here, in real time, a combination of redundancy and an utter autist's interpretation of body language. Some translators will do a "localization" (read "rewrite the thing altogether in English"), but these localizations are what I was referring to as being juvenile. They read like Scholastic titles.

>>154762684
This

>>154785669
Japanese literature is redundant as fuck in general, it's not unique to isekai.

>>154785669
it is not poorly written. It is not written with boring formulaic grammar doesn't mean it is bad. that' where the art comes from. And language is not the important part of novel.

Also, closing my eyes will totally prevent me from sending the message that I'm upset about something, because the other person couldn't figure THAT out from the fact that I was sitting there staring at the fucking ground.

>but it's not like other books have a better prose most of the time.
I've seen high schoolers with better prose than this.

I'm catching his esl. Help.

I believe a non japanese can understand artistic value of the japanese sentences and words and can be carried completely when it's translated to english.

>Does first world standards lead to a person with brain damage like you? You're in desperate need of urgent medication or treatment for your brain.
Here I turned your gibberish writing into something more legible, when you're able to write something like this maybe your trash opinion will be worth considering, as of now you're little more than a monkey making monkey sounds.

>>154786703
That's hogwash, you clearly never tried to translate anything
Firm belief not backed by practical experience is nothing short of delusion

>>154786762
You perfectly sound like an ultimate scammer.

>>154786703
If there's artistic value in that set of lines, it's completely lost on me.
The only way you're ever going to extract the writing-related artistic value into a translation is doing what they did with FFXII and just having a bunch of classically trained writers and actors rebuild it all in English.

>>154786755
A brain dead pig like you doesn't sound convincing.

Samefagging must be really hard when you're an esl.

How many times was this run through google translate ESL-fag?

>>154787168
Why should i use a shitty tool for an attention whore like you? I'm done, you must be happy now because i've feed your shameless attention whore fetish.

>You don't have a problem with Emilia saying something, and then the line after immediately saying that she said what she said?
That's common in Japanese literature, and not so weird in general.
The scene being full of anime tropes doesn't mean it's "poorly" written, you don't have to try hard and tell us why closing your eyes is dumb.

>I've seen high schoolers with better prose than this.
Don't think you spouting such sentences is kind of useless and add nothing to the discussion?
It's a baseless statement.

>>154787264
Not really, I'm sad your country's schools failed you so hard.

>>154771425
It worked with fate

>>154787316
>your country's schools
You need to learn english i don't wan't to be so harsh to a people with a brain damage.

>>154787401
>You need to learn english
Do they teach irony in your shithole country?

>>154787467
They teach i need to pity a children with a brain damage like you.

>>154787507
So no then, no wonder you can't tell good writing from bad if your shithole country's schools won't even teach the basics.

>>154787315
>Don't think you spouting such sentences is kind of useless and add nothing to the discussion?
>It's a baseless statement
I gave my basis for why those high schoolers can write better prose than this. You just poopooed it because you're incapable of separating your love of a fictional set of characters and ideas from the way said characters and ideas are rendered.
>That's common in Japanese literature, and not so weird in general.
This isn't Japanese literature though. This is a translated WN. It might not be unheard of in English literature, but again, I found this passage with hardly any effort at all, because every other line in the fucking thing has this problem. It would take significantly more time for me to find a similar error in any of the books off my shelf.
>he scene being full of anime tropes doesn't mean it's "poorly" written, you don't have to try hard and tell us why closing your eyes is dumb.
The passage being filled with clunky description of unnatural movement makes it read like ass in English. It's a script for the little anime characters in your head to follow, not proper writing.

>>154779083
is this legit?

>>154787315
stop replying to that idiot underage attention whore. he is a shitposter stop wasting your breath and just report it.

It's very difficult to define isekai. I think it's a major type of fiction; I read somewhere that genre fiction is divided into four categories:
>regular characters in regular settings (like SoLs or irregular plot devices)
>irregular characters in regular settings (like Maou-sama)
>irregular characters in irregular settings (like high fantasy)
>regular character in irregular settings (that's generally isekai)

But people nowadays mean certain cliches when they use that term like JRPG mechanics, slave harems, unfair OP advantage,...etc. I think SAO certainly is an isekai, it doesn't matter whether the characters are in world similar to a game or in an actual game.

We English-speaking peasants should just replace everything in our libraries with whatever fucks like you can masturbate onto a page, I suppose.
Dunno why you're getting mad at me though. I'm not the one pointing out that you write like a goddamn orangutan.

>>154788013
I like those categories, I usually just go with 'stranger in a strange land' for isekai
