I'm enjoying this as Fantasy Mecha but what even is the point for the Isekai framing? And not just in a "Isekai is an overused trash motif" but legitimately WHY in this case?

His stupid magic gunblade is the only thing that needs him having the memories of a dude from our world to exist

>He has a fetish for the Knights because he was a gunpla otaku

Just make it so that since his life was saved by a mech when he was a little kid at the brink of death, he became fascinated with them anyway

>He was a great programmer in our world so that makes him really good at magic in fantasy land

That asspull is only necessary when the reincarnate ends up as some literally who peasant or novice and the plot has to explain why he is better than the elites trained their whole lives. This kid IS one of those elites. He is from a politically connected and loaded family whose grandpa is the Academy headmaster, his father is a great pilot, and his mother is a mage of no small skill. He doesn't need *lol programming* BS when you can explain his OPness as "He's the genius child of that family, who spared no expense giving him the best training money can buy from an early age". Fuck we even saw a montage of that.

There is no point to him being some otaku code monkey reincarnated. Just making this a straight fantasy story about effeminate genius rich kid and his magic robot boner would have made it 15-20% less infuriating
>>
>>159402653
Isekai sells and that's pretty much it, if it helps you his ability to manipulate magic is beyond broken, the point is that even the most gifted ad privileged person in that world would be a shitter in comparison.
>>
All isekai is wish fulfillment right?
>>
>>159402653
>Why are things like this, when they can be like this?
Because the author fucking wanted it that way. Why have mechs at all? Why have magic? Why does it have to be fantasy? Why are there dwarves? Why does the MC like mechs at all? Why why why?

>>159402653
Because then you'd just have your standard superman trope character that's great because he was born special.
It's a lot easier to write a genius shittily than it is to write a dude who just has a good education, seeing that very few people actually know geniuses.
>>
>>159403849
Except isn't MC already described as a genius in his old life? He's already someone that was born special.
>>
>>159402653
The whole isekai thing is usually used because it provides such an easy premise for a protagonist, while leaving a lot of options open, meaning an advantage and a handicap or a flaw.

Characters that are reincarnated have the advantage of the knowledge of their past lives, but have the flaw in the fact that their experiences essentially make them very much loners.
Granted, very few isekai ever actually touch this at all.

An adult in a child's body probably wouldn't be too thrilled about going to school or playing around with little kids unless they themselves liked kids in their past lives.
It's a shame this is only touched in the very beginning.
>>
>>159404094
Was he? I just thought he was a codemonkey, which by the way, isn't something exceptional.
Almost anyone who isn't born with some sort of defect can learn how to code and with enough practice, do it for a living, provided there's openings.

It's a lot easier to do with a fully matured brain though.
>>
>>159404163
I think its less "adult in child's body" as much as "child who happens to have all the memories of his last life as an adult"

Kind of like how Reverend Mothers and Kwisatz Haderachs from Dune have their own individual consciousness and personality but there's also all of the memories of their genetic ancestors swimming in their heads

Escaflowne, 12 Kingdoms and even KonoSuba are isekai done right. All the modern trash like SAO and K&M don't use the setting well at all. It's supposed to go something like this:

>MC is thrown into an unfamiliar world. By watching him learn about the world from his experience the audience learns about it.

>MC is fairly ordinary/weak in the fantasy world so that we can see them grow and there's tension when he faces a new threat. By making the mc's op everything gets resolved easily and boringly.

alternatively

>MC has some hidden power that he discovers in the fantasy world. This gives him a purpose and makes him central to the affairs of that world.
>>
>>159411492
But this not tranfer isekai, this is reincarnation isekai. A distinction should be made between the two. Besides, SAO isn't even an isekai.

Because he:
created advancements in the field of mecha building that didn't change for centuries. Somethings no one actually though of before when its common in mecha here in our world.

Then reincarnation isekai should deal with the problems tied to reincarnation. How growing in that world shape your personality, how people react around you, how your native why of thinking clashes with this world's. Youjo Senki is a good example of that because the MC was completely extreme in his way of thinking and had an antagonist "from" his old world (Sonzai X) wich made Tanya being a reincarnation relevant.

It's si strange that the MC's parents weren't disturbed at all by their child suddenly having a complete personality change.

How would a child's body effect an adult mind aside from frustration over being tiny?

>>159402653
>what even is the point for the Isekai framing?
There are 2 times when having an isekai setting is actually excusable.

>The author wants the MC to have knowledge they normally shouldn't have
>The author wants to make the MC a genius child

Outside of those two situations it's just making it easier to self insert.
However K&M is literally both of those, so there's no reason to criticize it for being an isekai.
>>
>>159419461
They probably thought their kid was a retard.

They could even like, let him be good at shit and have random flashbacks and use isekai as a twist for later. Grimgar did that and guess what's the best isekai LN out there.
But twists require some level of good writing to implement in any form.

>>
>>159419461
I agree.
If we were to realistically think about reincarnated kid being born into, let's say a medieval fantasy setting, they'd probably think the child was possessed or insane.
In the best case scenario, the MC would end up being treated like an idiot savant, who is also a bit of a recluse because he doesn't really share any interests with or get along with people of his age.

Being pampered and spoiled in the modern world has led him to be completely numb to lot of the conventional extravagance of that world and the standards of living would be quite abhorrent to anyone living in modern age, seeing that even nobles piss and shit on pots.

The modern values which you have are probably going to clash a lot with the culture of the world and it would be nice to see situations where the MC's overpoweredness doesn't allow them to impose their will on the world.

for fuck sakes, isekai is the least important and least interesting part of these series and it's certainly not the focus of the series. It's just lazy writing. Get over it.

I dont give a fuck about people who bitch and overanalyze stuff like this.

I kinda like the fact that its Isekai because it makes it somewhat believable that the kid protagonist is exceptionally smart and competent. Nothing turns me off as much as a protagonist who is the best at everything for no other real reason except the fact that he is the protagonist.

This is fine.

Comfiest and best anime ive seen this season.

>>
>>159426042
Really now?
>>
>>159425483
But what people dislike about isekais is exactly that, because the protagonist gets stronger for no other reason than he is the protagonist and he is the one who reincarnated and if anyone replaced him nothing would change.
At least in this case there's the mecha thing but most of them don't matter or only require the protagonist to have random real-world knowledge.

>>
>>159425483
>Nothing turns me off as much as a protagonist who is the best at everything for no other real reason except the fact that he is the protagonist.

That is exactly what is happening though. What else is the reason behind him being the only person to reincarnate aside from being the protagonist? Especially into a world that is specifically tailored to let him succeed by giving him an influential family and position, magic that just so happens to work exactly like the one skill he had in the real world, and stumbling into important connections for no reason.

Fuck man, just admit you want to self- insert and be fine with it but don't try and justify how this is good writing.

Depends on how you use genre. You could say its a "plot point", "premise, or even a "gimmick" instead if you wanted to.
It wouldn't be wrong, but language is best when it is based on convention. So calling it the "isekai-fantasy genre" is most correct.
>>
>>159429388
>So calling it the "isekai-fantasy genre" is most correct.
That's only because the term "fantasy", an actual genre, is stuffed in there.
Without it, "isekai genre" makes no sense on its own.
>>
>>159429826

Isekai fantasy is a genre characterized by a protagonist who has been transported to another world, involving the supernatural, magical, or divine. All isekai stories fit into this category, without it they aren't isekai. It's a genre unto itself, even if it is a subgenre.

"Metal isn't a genre." That would be equally absurd to say. Call it a fantasy subgenre, but it is clearly a genre.
>>
>>159402653
It's basically justification for the MC, and the writer by extension, to apply his favorite mecha tropes and design tendencies, and able to refer to IRL mecha series.
>>
>>159429238
>good writing
>justify
Okay, I'll try. First of all, standards are different in japanese culture for what writing should be, I don't think many on /a/ know or care about that we want the anime so if we like then it's okay is the rule I've seen observed here.
Making Eru japanese works for a couple reasons. He already knows about mechs, more than anyone else. He's been exposed to different ideas and culture, so he brings that to the table. This is repeated with the programming equals magic part, his job skill from japan is useful. The real fantasy here from a writing standpoint is that Eru gets to do what he wants to do all the time. They didn't even bother, in both the anime and the LN, to give the reader any reason that Eru is upset with his situation. He gets mechs and that's all he needs. That's the story of Knights and Magic right there, that if you just had passion like Eru for something you'd be okay and you could do anything.
So why the trap appearance then? It's all to make the reader feel like they are important. Eru meets the king, does the thing with the elves, kills countless monsters and people, all this doesn't matter because you watch him spaz over the mechs. Eru's mech passion literally overwhelms every possible part of the story, everything revolves around Eru getting the mechs and when he gets the mechs he's good.
There's an anticipation there of Eru getting the mechs, and that's why people like the story. You want to see him get the mechs, because you know he likes mechs. Replay that over and over and you have a winning formula with everyone reacting to him thinking "no, doesn't he care about anything other than mech?" The answer is fucking no.
The entire conversation with the king is the king spazzing out in his mind about how Eru has to like something other than mechs, he can't possibly care only about mechs.
Eru. Mechs. Happy end.

>>159430533
Would the story change at all if it wasn't isekai? What would people shitpost about if it wasn't? Is there anything that benefits from him being from another world? Did the author only do it because he wanted a magic=computers gimmick and didn't know how to write a believable genius inventing a new paradigm from scratch? Is this because the author himself doesn't know much about computers, and couldn't explain how Eru comes up with something like categorizing spells as processes, programs, daemons, etc? When Eru jacks Guer, he is effectively running the mech from the "command line" instead of using the standard UI, which results in him doing things that normally wouldn't be allowed by the machine, causing things to break when he inputs some arguments. Why not explain it like this if it is how you wanted to tell it? Why not have issues with the magic like stack overflow exist somehow and have him solve these "bugs" that result from functional but bad "magic programming"? Buglike monsters exist, why not let him fight some of those and be inspired to use their forms as basis for less conventional mechs (many arms, mounted projectiles, multiple camera/panoramic cockpit)?

It's for self-insert purposes.

There's more substance to a genre/subgenre than a simple yes or no to "did protagonist get transported to another world" If you take out the first few pages of most isekai that indicate they weren't from the current world, they would instantly lack the isekai quality, and you won't be able to identify those series any differently from any other fantasy/cooking/scifi genre.

Because it allows people to self-insert more easily.

People can self-insert into some guy on Earth dying and reincarnating more than actually being a natural-born genius with talent. Nobody who watches anime has any talent. Surely you know this by now.

He isnt famous enough. Later he is and designs other stuff that increase his nation's power and cause of that, he is allowed to meet the people who make the cores which in turns allow him to make his custom mech.

>>159402653
If they shoehorned isekai in for the sake of sales why didn't they also make the mc a little girl? I can't think of any anime with a lead like that that sold well. But I'm sure otaku would care more if it were female.
>>
>>159446732
you're exaggerating
>>
>>159444884
Then you would have to classify all VRMMO stories as isekai, which makes no sense.
Their bodies and minds have not left earth. They are inside of a server somewhere. They aren't even really stuck in the MMO. It's just that their plot device helmets will kill them if someone takes them off and no one can find a workaround for ??? reasons.
>>
>>159448444
Isekai Smartphone, Knight's & Magic, Isekai Restaurant.

Not sure if there are any others, but it looks like we're either approaching the golden age of Isekai, or we're about to hit the peak, and it's all downhill from here.

otome isekai

why we haven't gotten a Kenkyo adaptation yet I don't know. It's less about wish fulfillment and more about cute (the MC is a retard)

this sounds really interesting though, doesn't sound like a wank story.

A crapshoot off Isekai Izakaya Nobu?
>>
>>159414770
I hope there's lots of that in the anime.
If the series is mostly cgi robutts fighting cgi bugs I'll probably drop it, but I like "OP protagonist invents/discovers cool new technology/magic" shit more than I probably should.
>>
>>159448880
They are faggot the whole meme of SAO is a world seed, aka digital world being stuck in a digital world vs analogue ones is not different, aka it is an isekai same with .hack

If the MC acknowledges that the place s/he is in isn't in a game anymore, then it's isekai

>>159406170
I recognize that bulge
>>
>>159451358
Sure, if it's not actually a virtual reality game hosted on a computer on earth somewhere.

I know at least one novel where the VR game is actually revealed to be a different world and it's actually isekai. SAO is not a case of this.

The author should grow some balls and actually make the MC reincarnate as girl, like youjo senki, rather than the shota bait we are currently getting..

But it even has megumins voice actor, literally the only thing boy like about it is that it has a chest flatter than a chopping board. Its like they threatened to make the animators do a full detailed adaptation of berserk if even drew a slight masculine feature on it by accident.
>>
>>159460116
Her VA voiced a boy who was also a trap before. Lots of female seiyuu voice young guys, even Aqua seiyuu is doing that this season. Maybe it's just the author's preference. A girl mc would probably sell better but that's just what he wanted I guess.

Actually there are tanks in gundam, they are shit cause of plot reasons.

Also if u think about it a mecha would shit all over a tank, with the about of mobility it has.

>world where two powers are fighting a several hundred years war with mechas

Why is this not a LN with anime adaptation?
>>
>>159460738
Designing tanks and other hardware would take time so the first arcs would be the other side going full Vietnam with exploiting the flaws and weaknesses of mechas.
>>
>>159460609
Balancing on two legs is really really hard.
A 'realistic' mecha would be constantly in danger of falling over, especially after a big impact from a tank shell or something.

If you had magic to make the legs work reliably then yeah it would be a lot more mobile than a traditional tank.
>>
>>159461339
You could apply that magic stuff on your tank.

>>159461766
How about spider-mech tanks? Short and low to the ground, so they can't fall over like mechs, and with the ability to freely move in 2 dimensions, possible 3, and traverse most terrains, unlike tanks?
If you already have the technology to build mechs, why not?

Look. It's a knowledgable adult thrown into a world of children. He has so many advantages, he'll be inevitably called a genius if he uses them. And of course he uses them, because it's escapism. NEETs gobble that shit up like there's no tomorrow, the fantasy where the character is so much better than everyone without doing anything (by the virtue of reincarnation) coupled with the return to childhood age is the wettest dream imaginable for them.

Actually I wonder why do NEET like scenarios like this. I mean, the character is not going to get smarter, he's already at the peak of his intellect in the elementary school. The others are going to catch up to him and he'll seem to be nothing more than wasting his child genius potential because the world doesn't know he was never going to grow up mentally. Betraying expectations is surely a scary and extremely unwanted scenario for NEETs, so why so much love towards it? Do they want to watch the character stagnate and slowly lose his reputation?

Not like isekai novels actually portray it like that, it's usually handwaved one way or another or even not acknowledged at all. The genius somehow stays a genius or rather, the environment, once blinded with his brilliance, stays blind for eternity. This is the height of wish fulfillment, this is the modern Japanese brand of reincarnation stories, this is isekai.

>An adult in a child's body probably wouldn't be too thrilled about going to school or playing around with little kids unless they themselves liked kids in their past lives.
Actually imagine being reincarnated into a newborn body. Your muscles aren't there. You can't do shit. You can't stand up, you can't even sit up. You're fucking stuck there squirming for at least several months, with nothing to do but staring at the ceiling. I sure hope you get the most out of sucking your new mom's tit because that'll be the only fun thing you'll get in the next year. Or five years, if you plan to not stand out too much with your adult knowledge and/or you don't actually understand the new world's language and alphabet.
