How pretentious did you feel while writing this?

>anime
>innovative
Sure. Also, SoL isekai is better anyway.

>>154998163
Evangelion was innovative for its time.

>>154998366
Stop living in the past.

>>154998485
Ok, Sword Art Online was innovative for its time.

nigga WHERE'S MY MUKOSHU TENSEI ANIME
I WANNA SEE ORSTED KICKING SOME GOD ASS

>>154998659
Unless the anime is like 5 seasons long, the only ass Orsted will be kicking is a ten year old Rudeus.

>>154997995
Stop being newfag. This isekai series just variation from battle harem sub genre. Battle harem already mainstream they're coming is not something new.

>>154999041
There are isekai series which are not battle harems though. For example, Youjo Senki.

>>154998659
Hopefully that trash never gets an anime.

>>154999664
Fuck you

>>155000136
It's all Mushoku Tensei's fault that the genre has gone to shit.

>>155000178
Elaborate.

>>155000245
Mushoku Tensei, being at the top of the charts on narou and having stayed there for so long, is directly and inspiration or rather, a subject of copycatting by amateur writers who have not the patience nor the capability to write their own worlds and do proper worldbuilding.

>>155001216
You have a point, but that's just sidestepping the bigger issue of the general lack of good writers in the genre.

>>155001216
That sort of spiraling shit-fest would have happened anyways.
Shitty web-novel writers were going to steal from each other until the whole genre became a monolith, no matter what, exactly BECAUSE it was a story on a web novel site.

This doesn't change the fact that there are still pretty interesting isekai stories around.

why nips don't steal from the C S lewis, he knew how to make decent isekai

You're kidding me, Alice in Wonderland is possibly one of the most homaged Western works of fiction in anime.

>>155002060
But are there any drug trip japanese isekai with cute girl MCs?

>>155002060
>Alice in Wonderland
nigga that was the mathfag. C.S lewis did narnia

>>154997995
It works for Hollywood and nostalgia movies

>>155002130
Flip Flappers

>>155002138
Whoops, my bad.

>>155002178
It's only worked for Disney. All the other nostalgia reboots and remakes (Terminator, RoboCop, etc.) have been flops.

>>154997995
I dont see how this can be more generic than another battle harem or CGDCT show

>>155004192
The fact that there are tens of thousands of near identical stories on the internet

>>155004192
It appeals to the kind of audience you usually don't want around in the board, even through they already are here.
Its the cinders of the elitism culture moot tried so hard to kill.

>>154997995
>Zero no Tsukaima
shit
>Log Horizon
Mediocre
>Grimgar
dunno
>Overlord
dunno
>Konosuba
decent for a few chuckles but overrated
>Re:Zero
overrated
>Youjo Senki
meme

>>155004594
konosuba barely got out there besides /a/
it ain't overrrated, no re zero i'll give you that

>>155004664
I wouldn't call it overrated but it *is* very popular, including off /a/

>>155004346
So what you mean to say, is that it is a gateway anime of the worst kind.

>>15499799
>>155004594
>NGNL
shit

>>155004965
its the new gateway genre yes, isekai and jojo are the big hitters with people outside of the chan, so much in fact jojofags from /a/ have to make stealth threads to avoid shitposting

>>154998659
I recently finished that, thought it was pretty good. Just tell me this who the fuck is "Bloody Count" in the end?

>>155005180
Don't think the count got explained in the translated stuff i've read so far in the redundancy chapters.

You can find some mad spoilers on the archive if you want through, or start a thread and see what happens.

>>155005265
Yea I've read all the translated chapters but nothing comes to mind, except that it might've been Orsted all along! Or some sort of twist like that though unlikely.

>>155005531
Well he's gotta be at least elf or demon race, to be around after rudy's death.

>>154997995
>And as much as Japanese otaku deride the genre online, they are certainly voting for it with their wallets.
It's almost as if Japan isn't one person. They have people who think just like /a/ and then people who think just like reddit and normalfags.

>>155005598
It was amusing when I saw him in the references with all the other books like
>Norn Greyrat’s book 『The Adventures of Supard Race』, Zanoba’s Doll Company - K427

And then suddenly
>Bloody Count’s book 『Great Men of the World - Heroes』, K480.
Might also be some foreshadowing for a future event

>>155005180
Wasn't it Elinalise?

>>155005844
Maybe, but there's nothing really to prove it. Literally everyone with a longer lifespan than Rudeus could be.

For comparison

>>155005999
iirc the hint was that of the only five books in the house, Bloody Count's "Walking the World" was one of them.

>Ah yes, [Walking the World] by Adventurer Bloody Count.
>It's an amazing name, I wonder what kind of person would have that kind of name.
>While traveling, I never heard of an adventurer by that name.
>He might be from a considerably long time ago.
>I wonder why Paul had such a book.
>Well it's fine.

>>155006677
Not really, although it does look more bluish here>>155006833

>>154997995
There is nothing wrong with pandering to the lowest common denominator. It makes BD sell like hotcakes for one.

>>155007352
>It makes BD sell like hotcakes
I hope Death March flops horribly.

>>154997995
>upper tier
>still shit

Shit genre desu

>>154997995
Isekai is guilty pleasure with its wish-fulfillment nature. I like it.

Isekai harems are the new high school harems.

>>155007788
Now there's a title that most probably won't be flopping. Knights and Magic might but who knows.

>俺TUEEEEEEEEEE
In English please?

>>155007818
Not all isekai is wish fulfillment.

>>154997995
Why do you think people cling to isekai so much? Because they want to get away from the typical anime and manga cliches and want somethig different. Some isekai do fullfill that wish but sadly narou is filled with isekai cliches that it itself created.

>>155008223
>Because they want to get away from the typical anime and manga cliches and want somethig different.
But the cliches are all the same, just in a different setting.

>>154998589
What is .hack

>>154997995
>Log Horizon
>isekai
no

>>154999041
First, work on your English, and second, by no means does isekai imply battle harem.

>>155008223
The second most popular work in a media is the one that does everything with originality. The first most popular work in a media is the one that creates a template for #3 and below to follow.

Real originality only gets you second place because it can't be copied, and thus won't spawn offshoots that feed back into the popularity of the original.

>>155008277
>Cliches are all the same
They're definitely different you probably haven't read much of them with the whole slave buying, modern age wanking and city building cliches, dungeon managment cliches, just the general trend of 'scum' MCs and their revenge wank, stats, polygamy, Shoujo isekai with villainess reincarnation and so on and on and on.

Doesn't mean Different=Better though.

>>155008080
nip meme relating to the proliferation of super cheat unbeatable MCs. The closest English approximation is probably something like "OMG I'M SO HAXX0RZ"

Non-harem romcom isekai is the best isekai

Harem romcom if MC gets to bang the girls is the best isekai.

>>155008878
>>155008915
Pick one.

>>155008878
>Non-harem romcom isekai is the best isekai
Those don't exist.

>>155008383
First work on your manner. I talked about the current isekai mean the isekai which about isekai harem series because we talked in current context. Second log horizon may be isekai because there is no confirmation that their world where they're trapped is not real world.

>>155010106
>Youjo Senki

>>155010106
>First work on your manner.
Newfag detected. You have to go back.

>>155008804
The MCs afraid of seeing naked girls, trip and grab boobs accidentally, get beaten up and falsely accused of being a pervert, girls fall for him because he's a nice guy. Tsundere character, imouto character, oneesan character, maid outfits, nurse outfits, so on so forth. Those cliches are still there right?

>>155010167
Youjo senki is not the kind of isekai 'fad' that people described. People talked about harem isekai from narou and LN.

>>155008878
Name 3 isekai that does this

>>155008080
ME STRONK

>>155010201
Mate, within 3 years, half the new shit we'll get will be isekai. Only a fool would think that the isekai fad will only manifest itself in harems.

We'll have isekai idolshit, isekai CGDCT and so on.
