It's easy-to-make-appealing escapism. Imagine-you're-me protagonist just gets whisked off to fantasy land where the population is 70% double D women or something.
All of these are garbage low tier anime bullshit and not good in a narrative sense at all. The only way you can think this is good is if anime is the only media you consume. I saythis being a person who've seen all of them. >
Meh. Konosuba was funny at least. But Jobless Reincarnation was lame. I liked it when he was just a little kid and experimenting with his powers but after that it was too boring.

As fun as this anime is the only time you're reminded it's isekai is when tanya has a schizo moment every few episodes and mentions BEING X for half a minute.
With every post you get more moronic. If you had a valid point that'd be one thing
but just blatantly being a homosexual and intentionally misrepresenting shit is pure Black person tier
you should honestly have a nice day, all joking aside.
Shit film. Stupid girls with pink and blue hair. The first few episodes were interesting, but when he got into the castle it became so fricking cringe. Also the characters are ugly drawn. Compare faces in RE: Zero and CSM. Re: Zero sucks ass, even the evil villain girl had a creepy, ugly face. The blue haired and red haired girls look crap. The elven girl was ok looking, but that's about it.

my fav is probably Log Horizon.. I've seen the first two seasons several times and I'll watch it several more. But Overlord, Tensura, and Moonlit Fantasy are also really up there for me.
I wish more Isekai would come out that takes itself seriously and cuts out the homosexual stuff and the more cartoony elements.
For a bit of an obscure but surprisingly good Isekai, Otherside Picnic. It's weird and different, has female main characters. One of them is a dyke, but they don't make it a romance or anything and brush it off pretty well.

Saga of Tanya the Evil
As fun as this anime is the only time you're reminded it's isekai is when tanya has a schizo moment every few episodes and mentions BEING X for half a minute.
Overlord and Tanya the Evil both probably would've been better if they left the isekai element out of it and just told the story of an evil character straight.
I wasn't going to say that but honestly it really is good. Frick it, I might actually watch it again tonight.
I made the terrible mistake of starting .hack//sign and it fricking sucks. I'm on episode 9 and.. I really think this anime is absolute complete dogshit, though I do really like the main character.
That one was fricking weird.. From looking at screen shots and reading people talk about it, I got a completely inaccurate impression of what that anime is.

Flashman is an old historical fiction series about a cowardly Englishman that joins the British army because he wrongly assumes it'll be easy garrison duty where he can lazy about and collect a paycheck. He lies and cheats and tries his best to avoid notice of his superiors but through his own actions attempting to avoid the front lines and responsibility he constantly finds himself promoted and sent on increasingly dangerous missions. He garners a reputation as a fearsome and skilled soldier that is brave to a fault when he is the exact opposite. In his efforts to live an easy life of semi-retirement he lives one full of danger and excitement. >>She wins everytime and gets promoted?
She wins and is promoted in the wrong direction. Tanya wants a safe back line position on the Generals staff away from the front. The opposite happens and she is given increasingly dangerous missions and accrues a reputation as a battle maniac that prefers the front to leading from the rear.
That's the joke. The character tries to do something to have X result. Misunderstandings! And character has Y happen instead. Y being the exact opposite thing that they wanted to happen.
>Overlord
these are the two I'm reading right now. they're pretty fun reads. tanya more so if you know some history. the longer I can spend in a dream the better because our waking world is fricked and there's no escaping it.
Almost all isekai is garbage because the isekai concept is thrown out the window after the 1st or 2nd episode but here's some good ones. >Sword Art Online (only arc 1 and 3)
Only isekai where there's an actual sense of agency to find a way out and not just slice of life + RPG status screens. Cry about it. >Ascendance of a Bookworm
Good quality and MC commonly uses retained knowledge from modern world to affect the new one. >Grimgar
Good quality, sense of main character fragility instead of being god mode. Almost a deconstruction. >The Twelve Kingdoms
Classic, great quality anime. >Mushoku Tensei
Good quality overall. Although the isekai aspect isn't brought up a lot and when it is it's to remind the MC he was a fat loser.
>Only isekai where there's an actual sense of agency to find a way out and not just slice of life + RPG status screens. Cry about it.
It's funny you should mention that. Though I'm not familiar enough with the genre to name any shows in particular supposedly that's what most of them used to be. That is before they started catering to the NEETs who hate life and just want an escape.

You must be men because ascendance of a bookworm is so fricking boring. It feels chinese that's how op and textbook the story is
I mean yes of course I am, but it's such an odd thing to point out. I liked it because it wasn't like the others. The MC is physically frail and gets sick all the time and is the furthest thing from being overpowered unlike all the other isekai trash out there. Her autism with creating books is endearing and the story surrounding her is interesting enough to keep me watching.
I fast forward through it. Its very cookie cutter. The reverse isekai thing is just a novel concept that hides the fact it is otherwise still a generic low budget show full of gary/mary sue cliche characters one shotting everything.
>Reverend Insanity
I think I left off at chapter 800 or 900, around the time Fang snatches the nearly-perfect body with the souped up spirit sea or realm or whatever its called (it's been long enough I forget the terminology)

He's still alive and writing Infinite Bloodcore which so far isn't nearly as interesting and either the translation is dead or the 2nd book isn't finished.

I am going to kill xi jinping
after staring at my guys butthole while crawling through some narrow space in MHW for the nth time I decided to swap genders. Haven't looked back since.
I play women in games that are designed for coomers when my girlfriend isn't looking because I'm cooming to the characters. It's pretty simple, really.
imagine a world where you're needed
where people look at you like you can do something good
a world that can be saved
a people worth saving
doesn't it sound nice?
It's been a trope for a long time. Even the Quran has an Isekai story in it of three brothers who enter a cave and go to a magical other world. The old Arthurian legends do too. I mean the really old ones, from the Red Book that Tolkein based the Lord of the Rings off of. There's also the legend of fairy rings, Tir Nag Nog (spelling is for sure wrong), the list goes on and on. Even Disney had an Isekai, I think it had the kid from home alone in it. Never Ending Story is another..
Best Isekai is, "Her Majesties Wizard"
The Michael Moorwiener Eternal Champion novels are an Isekai too. The guy starts out as a human and dies of a fever then keeps reincarnating as a world ending bad ass. The Elric Saga is one of the Eternal Champions lives. The original books.. the ones that came out later were cucked and fricking gay. If I ever met Michael Moorwiener I'd spit in his face for selling out so fricking hard.
I love playing hot girls in video games. I even like when guys think im a girl. If i could push a button an instantly RP as a hot girl IRL i would too. But i wouldnt want to stay a girl and im not trans.
There are a lot of people who imagine that they'd have been warriors, explorers, and leaders had they been born in a different place and time. Nevermind that there's a lot of warfare, exploration, and leadership going on in the world that they show no inclination toward.
>why do some men like playing as women in video games
this comes from World of Warcraft and night-elf girls. eventually, no man who has seen those long pointy ears/spoiler] bouncing in his face every minute he's in-game can resist having such a character.
I love isekai ever since inuyasha shit's fun who doesn't want to imagine being in another world. Or someone from the past coming to our time. Or going back in the past. Look at fiction like a Connecticut yankee in king arthurs court. Shit's just fun to see it's like fish out of water but better since the culture clash is even more dramatic
They're losers with no backbone to change their current life, so they need isekai as a way to self-insert and make themselves feel relevant with generic OP cheat skills. It's just so easy to fantasize and pretend you are saving the world with a cheat skill instead of getting off your lazy, morbidly obese ass to workout and contribute to the actual world.
Isekais are made for bullied kids with no life, usually between 12 and 16 years old, who waste all their day watching anime and imagining they could live in one. Of course they are not good, they are not meant to be good, just to make some losers live out their fantasy.
I say this as someone that was down that dark path and used to watch self-insert shit for 12 hours a day. They are all fricking dogshit. It's fine if your life sucks and you use them as escapism, go for it. But if you unironically think they are "good" you are an 80 IQ monkey and should have a nice day.
I have done it before
Honestly, I like pretty things. I like looking at pretty things. So I made my ideal gf and inserted an ideal personality in my head onto the character. I rarely do it but I have done it a couple of times. But that is why I did it. What can I say? I'm a fricking gay. I don't know why other guys do it but that's why I did it before
>play as man in Let It Die >die in the cheesiest way >feel kinda bad >sub all my male characters with females >they die in a dumb way >dont feel bad for women suffering
its that simple
It's easy-to-make-appealing escapism. Imagine-you're-me protagonist just gets whisked off to fantasy land where the population is 70% double D women or something.
Name one good isekai

true, I don't think it's the best out there or anything, just above average
I can't think of any isekai I've really enjoyed. It's all slop to me at this point.
I guess "Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun!" is alright for a shounen

Given its supernatural elements I think it counts as isekai
WHAT ARE THESE FANCY ASS WORDS BRUH
I remember the age old reply was "I like looking at their ass". After playing Fortnite I realized the truth
Chunners taught me the truth
I chose female characters to lure simps to give me free gifts
They're losers with no backbone to change their current life, so they need isekai as a way to self-insert and make themselves feel relevant with generic OP cheat skills. It's just so easy to fantasize and pretend you are saving the world with a cheat skill instead of getting off your lazy, morbidly obese ass to workout and contribute to the actual world.
The cheat skill IRL is being born into money.
>spend entire life working for little gain
>get cheat skill
idk anon. no matter how hard i work i'll still not have the things i want
the cheat skill is money, genetics and luck
Yes. The reality for most people has been getting worse since 2001 or so.
It's just autistic bullshit for losers. There are no good isekai anime.
I'm a huge pervert that likes dressing women in loose clothes, hence why I don't play women in games with shitty graphics
i just like the pretty aesthetics
and the escapism of being both a different person and in a different world
Isekais are made for bullied kids with no life, usually between 12 and 16 years old, who waste all their day watching anime and imagining they could live in one. Of course they are not good, they are not meant to be good, just to make some losers live out their fantasy.
