Is this the second coming of Konosuba?

Why, just because it's comedy and fantasy?

It's much older than Konosuba, it's a remake of a classic. It's way more enjoyable to me than Konosuba ever was, though. I love that we have an actual journey and adventure going on in Mahoujin Guru Guru, it's great.

Comparing them is an insult to Mahoujin

Except better, since it got 24 episodes.

It's konosuba without the otaku shit

I still love Konosuba though

It's also not isekai, just fantasy and adventure with wacky comedy.

>>161357630
What's up with Japs shoving Isekai into every fantasy show lately? It's ridiculous. Like in that magic & knights or whatever show.
The dudes dies in the beginning and is reincarnated in fucking fantasyland. What for? How did it help? Why?

Just so the guy could say "I love giant robots" while riding a giant robots? He could do that even if he wasn't a goddamn Japanese code monkey in his previous life.

It's not anything new really, even in the 90s they were not that rare, I remember stuff like Magic Knight Rayearth and El-Hazard. It's just a burst of popularity after a time of silence.

Hold tight that the comcept is still hella popular and will be around for a while. But that's why Mahoujin is so good, modern fantasy tropes are already so overused, so going back to a classic feels fresh.

>>161358476
You do have a point. But what I meant was they seem to be making more stuff Isekai even when it's not needed or relevant in the first place.

It makes for easier self-insertion for audiences seeking escapism. Note how MCs in modern isekai series also tend to be complete losers in their previous lives.

It seems to be such an unhealthy take, though.
"If you kill yourself you'll get reincarnated in anime land!".

I mean, of course nobody takes it seriously, but .. yeah, something about it just bugs me.

More Kukuris, in any case.

>>161358476
>>161358840
>>161358993
That and the simple fact that something popular did it and was succesful is also one of the reasons we see so much isekai nowadays.

It's not completely pointless since it shows he's a programmer and he invents a gun in the first episode. But then that's not such an elaborate reason

Should I watch the original first or go right to this?

You can start with the new one, but after catching up with the latest episode, give the classic a chance as well, it's pretty nice.

>>161355191
It's ok. I have found a lot of the bits and gags to be unfunny (a guy dancing and shaking his butt, really?) But Kukuri and Nike are great.

>>161357562
The original is a manga.

>>161361356
This show is too high brow for you. Go watch something more your speed, like Princess Principal.

Yes really, and he was a really loved character in the past as well, so much that he got his own manga spin-off.

The part of the story that parodies classic RPGs the most is just the beginning though, when it sets the start of Nike's journey and the mission to defeat a Demon Lord, after that it becomes it's own thing. It was, and still is pretty unique at what it did.

Dragon quest menus are the most otaku shit.
