Read the sticky. Google doesn't like mining the same info all over again because it's unprofitable for sale, so they asked 4chan to ban generals and threads similar to that. It all makes sense when you look at it from the whole perspective.

because contrary to what many believe, self-insert male protagonists are the best trope you can possibly write. Especially if its in a story with a harem of girls with good action sequences, a training arc, and maybe a tournament thrown in.

Yes if our farmers grow cash crops instead of food there is nothing to eat, how would we have ever known that without you isekai-kun?

>>17513179
didnt they also have to pay a lot of tribute to some other foreign country or something?

>>17513179
that doesn't make sense, logically speaking if farmers stopped growing crops, then food prices would shoot up making it more profitable to grow crops, thereby encouraging farmers to grow crops.

>>17513181
Food takes time to grow, and shortages of food thanks to cash crops is a real thing that happened in places like the American South and India.

>>17513162
the only recent one that i can think of that doesnt have a badly explained harem or a MC with OP powers is "simply good taste for a duke's daughter".

Talking about manga only, i dont know why people keep talking about WNs on /a/.

Literally only one manga series. Sad.

How many of those are there this season? Because I don't know a single one.

But yeah I generally agree with you isekai is shit and they should stop using the setting so often.

>>17513205
eh my fucking ass you canuck fuck, i have the goddamn law of this site on my side
get fucking bent and enjoy your ban

>>17513162

It's the easiest to make. I don't understand why it gets made since they sell like shit 99% of the time but whatever. They probably think that if you throw enough shit at the wall something will stick eventually. This crappy fad will go away eventually.

>>17513208

You need to be 18+ to post here.

i see the /v/ crossboarders woke up eh?

>>17513210
says the newfag that can't follow the rules

>>17513199
They're popular enough to have multiple publications, crossovers, etc... White Queen and Kyousuke even got into the Girl/boy rankings and they don't have an anime.

>>17513203

Where does it mention /u/ you retarded subhuman?

>>17513162
>when you look at a image and can tell the personality of every single character in the show
avoid this kind of show like the plague.

>>17513209
But its exactly because they sell 99% of the time. For example nobody excepted anything out of Overlord and each Bluray vol sold 10K+ and the LN got a gigantic boost. The latest vol for example sold for almost 150k.
Tanya also did pretty good.

LNwise Death March has been selling 20k+ for a long time now and with an adaption its probably going to double that if not much more.

Slime doesn't even have an adaption but without literally anything its selling 50k a volume. Generally even having your LN sell for 10k is already considered profitable and tons of WN adaptions reach that with ease because they have the backing of an already established fanbase from syosetsuka.

>>17513216
Actually slime has a manga scratch that.

>>17513204
Honestly, I liked TFP because quality-wise, it was much better than any other isekai out there. I know that compared to regular literature it isn't perfect, but I would take it over "generic LN where MC gains cheat powers and creates a slave harem" any day.

>>17513206
Isekai Restaurant
Smartphone
Knights and Magic

Those are the major ones this season.

>>17513216

Overlord is the biggest isekai success and it's still not even near real successes like Love Live, GuP or Fate.

And one of the main reasons why it succeeded was because it's not a generic as shit isekai with nice boy Gary Stu who gets a harem of cute autistic girls while saving the world with his OP skills.

Average isekai anime sells like absolute trash. They are lucky to reach 3k.

What they don't tell you is Cotton takes a lot of resources to be grown outside the biome and over time existing fields may or may not have been barren or dust bowled by extended use before MC arrived. It is a crop that has to be rotated or it will cause damage to the soil if not meet with its needs. Naturally the crop lives more than a year so many people tend not to till the soil and destroy the crop if it is still growing.

>>17513219
If judged by the standards of Love Live, GuP, and Fate, pretty much every anime ever made was a failure.

Rest in pepperoni, thread.

I just rewatched it during summer so details(japanese names excluded) are still fresh.

kuso thread

When you think about it what's the point? Someone will just mask it under a isekai manga adaption thread in the beginning which will in turn into an all out isekai thread after like 100 posts. Happened many times before they just won't be as apparent as this one because of the /a/utist OP.

>>17513311
Well shiiit. Cant believe this actually happened

>>17513162

Or maybe some Japanese Youtuber then starts ranting about how shit it is like how western youtuber ranting about how their western show or western gaming trend is killing the industry or something. Do Japanese go that far?

It's like you just realized that the industry operates on cash ins of booming fads. Before this, it was HS Battle Tournaments (haven't had any high profile hit of this in awhile) and then even further back everything was mecha or spess opera.

46KB, 800x473px

Anyone from /jp/ looking forward to shieldbro anime?

>>17516535
Battle Tournaments has something to gain and archive, even if most of them are shit.
Mecha and Space Opera are benefitted from it being an SF and they mostly has good story and characters to back it up.
Isekai is just self insert fantasy. The worst form of fiction.

>>17516857
Good isekai has the MC actually improve the lives of the people around him because of his outsider knowledge. It's pretty much a call for Japan to accept foreigners under the guise of power fantasies.

I know it's the kewl thing to shit on the hot new fad, but to say it's the "worst fiction" is reaching. You actually have to have a creative brain and imagination to make even a halfway decent isekai, what with keeping in mind not to break established lores and all.

>>17516871
Forgot to mention, really fun yet meaningful interactions because of the premise of culture shock and genuine curiosity. Remember that FFX and Dunbine were Isekai before it was cool.

>>17516881
well, i would say calling FFX an isekai is a bit of a stretch.

>>17516881
Dunbine is a weird kind of Isekai. Maybe one of the better ones. First of, you don't have just the MC, but other people as well went to Isekai. So, the conflict is not only between MC and the people there, but also MC and the people from his world who decided to do bad things. Then shit's really get real when everyone who's fighting in the Isekai world get flung to our world and continue their fight there, while the current world (80's cold war tension era) reacts to it. It at least has an epic feel to it.

Most Isekai nowadays are some bloke flung to another world either as himself or he becomes someone else and then having cute girls all around him. It's basically an evolution of the Harem genre. It's all self fantasizing fluff.

>>17516905
Well, GATE is the modern interpretation of Dunbine's premise and the craziness before it that was Those who Hunt Elves.

I know it's hard for you who has an apparent dislike for the genre to actually look for examples that don't entirely fit your biased opinions, but get out of the mentality for awhile and you'll see that Isekai is far from being the "worst fiction" Is it prime self-masturbatory material? No denying that, but so is "higher literature" from your average depressed Russian author.

>>17516920
Having majority of the recent ones currently being trash really colors the impression of the whole thing, isn't it? I can't blame him for thinking like that.

If anything, Isekai needs to highlight more dignified works. But the trashier ones makes the most money thus they made more of the same. So the whole generalisation continues.

>>17516936
You're going to have to put the blame on the consumers on that one. "Dignified" works don't sell, and authors got to eat. Not everyone has the energy to work multiple jobs so they go for what's tried and true and add in their own twist.

Regardless, my point is that this isn't unique to isekai. It's going through its 15 minutes of fame and then eventually will lose the popularity and go back to what it was like a decade ago in place of the new fad. Putting it down because of its current status is just plain pettiness.

There have already been many, you just won't watch them. That's the thing with all you people complaining about anime; you never, ever, ever, ever watch any of the stuff you claim you want to watch. You even pretend it doesn't exist. Because that lets you whine and bitch and moan and play the victim.

People like you are about the bitching and moaning just as much as the other person.
You even pretend bad stuff in the genre doesn't exist.

I imagine they would end at Spirit Turtle with the portal to Glass' world then ending the first season right there. It would give the books a huge sale from the "What happens next?" moment, and be a good starting point IF they make a season two.

I am never going to forget the fucking Canadian elves in this. It was quite a shame author didn't do anything with dwarves aside from the fact that they got almost wipe out. Evangeline's story when?
Also I like that Author keeps Arc somewhat 'normal' despite his OP powers with his lack of combat skills, experiences and warrior mentality.

Anyone knows the differences between LN and WN for this?

strangely it doesn't happen as much in Isekai

NEET Receives a Dating Sim Game Leveling System

Chinese NEET is reincarnated to a Not-Japanese Neckbeard in a dating sim world and decides to be OP

Only have seen the manga so far. What makes the elves Canadian?

Thanks. This LN is pretty great.

I read the first two books because they were pirateable.

The protagonist seems religious, I guess, but I never thought he was pure zealot. I personally view the death goddess more of a goddess of reincarnation rather than death, especially since William spends so much time guiding souls to their next life rather than killing them.

She is supposed to be the guiding light after all.

800 years ago there was another other-worlder name Evangeline, an elf. Her tales involved befriending a Dragon King, saving dwarves and creating the great Canada forest from a waste land. So Elves now lives in a country named "Canada" with a city named "Maple". There is also the Great Slave Lake in there.

>great slave lake
Is it a lake with slavea living nearby or is it a slave lake to another lake?

>>17574967
It's just named after the Lake in IRL canada anon.

What are some modern isekai that don't contain stats/drops or any type of retarded game mechanic, a generic RPG setting and a japanese everyman protagonist with some dumb gimmick that makes him extremely powerful? Anime, manga and LN are fine, japanese is fine.

>>17579924
Do you mean modern as in made today or modern as in in a modern setting?

>>17580253
Made in the last year or two. I haven't found anything new that's decent lately.

>>17579924
Faraway Paladin almost fits, but it has a tabletop RPG setting (Narnia/Lord of the Rings type of setting). No game mechanics or dumb gimmicks to make him overpowered though, but he's OP due to being raised by a trio of OP undead adventurers.

Release that Witch pre-Zero's defeat (ch630). After that it becomes shite. But if you like "kingdom building" it does it great for the first ~500-600 chapters.

Not really Isekai but how about this?

>>17579924
Mushoku Tensei has most of what you're describing but the Laplace factor does make him a powerful (squishy) wizard so I guess that doesn't count.
