Smartphone Isekai

I'm wondering about that too. I heard anon said that the LN is one of the best selling LN in Japan, but what the hell?

The light novels are supposedly flying off the selves since the anime started.

>>160360643
Not best selling in Japan just best selling by that publisher.

>>160361002
The anime has done its job I suppose. I wonder what other isekai adaptions will follow suit.

>>160361051
Death March is coming soon which is basically the same as Isekai Smartphone.

>>160361126
Is it as comfy as Smartphone?

>>160361468
It's even comfier and it has catgirls and lolis.

>>160360643
>he measures LN quality by popularity
>he doesn't realize all LN are shit

>>160360643
Best seller for Hobby Japan. If you're going to complain, don't be a fucking retard unable to understand what you read

Worst show of the season. probably the history of all anime. Here I thought Taboo Tattoo was the worse trainwreck I ever saw, but even that ridiculous shitfest was more fun to watch, and is still miles ahead of this Smartphone Isekai garbage. It's almost like some rich 9yr old got money from his parents to make a self-insert anime with a terrible self-indulgent plot just to animate his Deviant Art tier genetic waifus

Why is /lit/ always so butthurt that no one cares about their "true literature"?

>>160363276
Have you watched only 50 anime?

>>160363374
Great question. I'm not even sure half of its posters actually like to read to begin with.

>>160363452
name a worse trainwreck than taboo tattoo and this one

>>160363452
If you're trying to defend this show, you're doing a pretty bad job at it

>>160363276
This might be generic trash but far from the worst. Your new, as well your intent to 'fit in' is showing.

>>160363539

>>160363603
I disagree. Kabaneri was ok for half the season, had good art, interesting setting, god-tier waifus, and a good plot until Biba showed up to ruin everything and turn awesomeness into a steaming pile of hot garbage

>>160363781
Gee. You could almost say it was a train wreck

The show is fun and quirky, the characters are cute and well thought out and the story - well, we'll see how it goes. Haters of the show are in the same caste with the haters of Eromanga Sensei, and while entitled to their opinion, should continue the bashing in Reddit.

>>160363581
>he tries to fit in

>>160363916
still not as bad as this one due to the afore mentioned reasons

>>160364022
A train wreck has inertia, anon. It builds up hype before going off the rails.

This is a pure comfy trolley ride from start to finish.

>>160363781
The first episode was 10/10.
Then it slowly shitted up .

>anime (a way to tell an story, but a window for day dreaming to others)

...and you are surprised this kind of stuff is popular?

This anime is so bad it actually made me think about an alternate universe where things get interesting

Everythig happens exactly the same until that fight with the spider that absorbs magic, but this time when mc steals the core the following happens

>spider powers down and desintegrates
>mc: yes we won, now random girl destroy it
>just when one of the girls is about to destroy the orb a vocie can be heard
>Finally!! im free from that spider prison
>the orb explodes leaving a bunch of red smoke
>from the smoke a powerful lich comes out
>it's been 1000 years i should start draining the magic of this world
>what's this someone here has an incredible amount of magic!!
>lich grabs mc from the ground and absorbs all his godlike powers
>with his last bit of magic mc manages to open one last gate for the girls to escape
>samurai girl manages to save mc and get him trough the gate too
>A now powerless mc and his team will have to figure out how to fight the now godlike lich

>>160364365
I think he more questioned the need for an anime on it.

>>160363374
The better question would be what is the purpose of /lit/?

>>160365305
LNs aren't allowed on /lit/ or /a/. Imagine thinking your medium of fanfics is relevant when you're not allowed anywhere. Why don't you have a board anon? Is your past-time not considered a real hobby?

>>160364248

I'm just wondering how far they'll portray his socipathic streak in the anime.
Can you imagine this cutipie (pic related) saying this to a guy he's holding up in the air by the throat: "If I ever hear another word like that come out of your mouth, I'll rip your tiny pecker off, shove it down your throat, and then stich your mouth shut. You'll be sucking yourself off for the rest of your days. Understood? Nod if you get the message, asshole." That or the incident where he beat up 2 guilds, stripped them all, hung them by the ankles in the woods, took photos of them and told them he'll spread them in the capital if he ever sees them again and then left them there.
Source: LN 4 and 1.

>>160360329
I'm really curious what makes this particular one sell. You don't need much writing skill, hell, you don't need any writing skill to shit out this pile of garbage. Even I would be able to write something better in two weeks. One, if I wouldn't play Dwarf Fortress at the same time.
Therefore, there must be like thousands of basement novels like this, so what makes this one popular? I think we all can agree it's not a matter of quality of the writing. Or plot. Girls aren't particularly unique or memorable either. And don't even get me started on MC.
Overlord has Papa Bones, Konosuba and Re:Zero toy with cliches making isekai adventure horrifyingly hilarious and hilariously horrifying respectively, SAO was (somewhat) fresh when it came out and at least made an attempt with setting and romance. Even if you don't like them, you can see what made them popular.
But this has absolutely nothing to offer. It's just an isekai cliche checklist. Well, it has a smartphone, but I don't think this is something that won the audience. Therefore, if this has absolutely noting of value, why this? Why not something else? Is this some ironic masterpiece of postmodernism that sells because it's shit? I don't get it. I understand the concept behind this isekai fad, but the sheer scale of what I'm witnessing is beyond my comprehension.

>>160366857
Ow, the edge.

>>160367039
>it has a smartphone

That's enough, there's a shit ton of isekai so they get filtered out quickly on their premise, you just have to hook the audience once and not have shit writing style.

>>160363666

Rail Wars was not an Isekai though so by default it cannot suck anymore than this show can. Besides it had much better sluts than this show by far.

Isn't that literally every isekai LN?

>>160367276

>>160367039
It sells because it's so bad it's good. Like crack cocaine for normies.

>>160363603
>>160363666
It's funny cause they're both shows about trains. Genius, anons.

>>160367951
Even trashier

The directing is fucking bad

>>160369410
That would be the least of its problems.

Is it supposed to be like the opposite of konosuba?

>>160368495
No? Have you actually seen those shows? both are literal tranwrecks. They're not about trains in the slightest

>>160365248
isn't obvious? Money, mah friend.
Consider all i said >>160364365
that explains why such a self-insert novel is so popular.

Isekai are a guilty pleasure of mine but Smartphone is just too bad even for my shit taste.
MC just gets too much extra shit.
Increased physical and mental capabilities (along with innate martial ability)
And he can do literally ALL the magics, even the personal null magics. Total bullshit.

Does he use his phone more in the novel?

He doesn't even use it much, he has super strength, super speed, super endurance, etc. and the ability to use ALL magic in a world where most people can cast 1 spell.

The phone is completely a one note gimmick just for the title.

Okay, it's about some guy who dies young so god says 'you can be ressurected in this other magical world with a boon of your choice'
So that happens and I guess they have god on call now
There's adventurers and magic and stuff, no surprise, different people using different magics
They change their earth clothes for more suitable clothes and get a cloak
The guy is kinda all-rounded and can do a whole bunch of different stuff and usually comes up with the plans. Notably he uses a power to steal something nearby to solve at least one problem.
And he adventures with three girls
One of whom casts some crimson something explosion magic
Another of whom uses a sword and I guess they're supposed to be honourable and stuff though I've yet to see them do anything useful with that sword
The third of which just seems like an idiot but then aren't they all
So they're all signing up at the guild and doing quests from a questboard the guild has for money n' stuff
The girls don't seem to like slimey things
They killed a dullahan
Went into some old dungeon
By pure luck they get mixed up with some noble trouble and money

Question is, what anime is this?
Answer is: How the fuck are we supposed to know anymore?
