The Super Mario Bros movie is an isekai. Last Action Hero is an isekai. The new Jumanji is an isekai. TRON is an isekai. A Princess of Mars is an isekai. Phil of the Future is an isekai.

Isekai was good back when it was Vision of Escaflowne or Magical Knight Reyearth or Fushigi Yuugi or Inuyasha. Basically it was okay before it was specifically about video game nerds. Or maybe it's only okay when it's written by women. Digimon is also allowed.

I like .hack//SIGN, but it’s also one where it’s more trouble for the Isekai’d person than it’s worth which I understand is the opposite of the norm. I also watched it back when it first aired on Adult Swim and I was a depressed teenager that played MMORPGs to escape that, so I was in the target demographic. I still enjoy it when I rewatched it recently, but it’s very hard to ignore the many cheap animation and pacing issues. I’ve barely touched any of the sequels past the first few PS2 games, but it sounds like that’s for the best. One of the other anime series I started watching with a more comedic style had some gross brother/sister humour and was immediately repulsed. i am tim! fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Jul 27, 2020 |

Yeah, what I remember most is how long it takes for the protagonist to start working with people who are genuinely trying to help him and just how... slow it was.

I'm not an authority on what words mean or anything, this is just my opinion. Isekai's just a genre. It shouldn't suddenly stop applying because the characters in the movie aren't real human or what have you. If that were the case then Coraline wouldn't count as one since they're all cg characters and Monster's Inc wouldn't be one of the neater cursed examples of one also plagued by capitalism.

Or maybe it's only okay when it's written by women. Yeah, that's honestly one of my biggest problems with most of these latter day* isekai or other fantasy anime. So much of it just feels like the most generic fantasy rpg garbo. Fighters and wizards and healing spells and mana potions. Calling it D&D like is almost an insult because at least most D&D settings have more originality or quirkiness to them than the setting of "My Girlfriend has Too Many Hitpoints!!" or whatever the weebs are watching. *The Book of Mormon** is an Isekai. **Both the religious text and the musical.

If we're talking about anime, I started watching (And then after finishing the current length of the anime, reading) Demon Slayer and man, fantastic artwork and animation, cute/cool character designs, varied and good powers on everyone, freaky or neat to look at villain designs, all with a simple but good story to go on... and then you have the actual big bad, Muzan, who's absolutely nothing, an okay-ish design but a completely flaccid barely-character with lame powers. Like it's kind of crazy that 99% of your creation can be so strong, but then the primary antag is the biggest drag of the series.

Dawgstar posted:I found a Seanbaby MMA article I hadn't read, so yay. This was pretty good: "He rushed straight in with slaps like an uninspired sumo sprite from a Sega Master System game. Teila did move pretty fast for being 410 pounds -- I'd say he charged at about the same speed as a 200-pound karate master walking backward and throwing counter-punches, which ended up being a terrible coincidence." I hadn't read that one either. For Emmanuel Yarbrough against Keith Hackney:"The fight looked like something went wrong at a birthday party and an eight-year-old had to kick the poo poo out of Grimace." still has me laughing. Also "The UFC never created a 265+ division, probably because super heavyweight battles look like bear documentaries." I'm glad to see Seanbaby finding his spots again. For a while it felt like all the good internet comedy guys in his generation had found a gig from it and Seanbaby was the guy left behind getting a little too old to be the bro party dude. Good on him staying funny..

They call it .hack//SIGH for a season  I've watched SIGN and played the original PS2 tetralogy, aaaand... I can't really tell you which one is better. Some people say the games are better than the anime, others claim the opposite. I was always more interested in the worldbuilding of the .hack universe than anything that actually happened in the gameworld itself, which is what both SIGN and IMOQ concerned itself with. The 4-part OAV side story that came with each game as a bonus disc was more my jam because it took place almost entirely in the real world of the franchise, but even then all the cool elements that they set up in the backstory always feel frustratingly out of reach.I have not cared to go back and check in on what came after part 4 of the PS2 games.

Ooh, let's not forget the other ones that always come around: Narnia, Urashima Taro, the Alice stories, Flatland, Gulliver's Travels, Blazing World, and, my personal favorite, the Divine Comedy which pioneered the trope of the author working all their own creepy bullshit into the isekai.

This seems to happen every time isekai comes up and someone says they don't like isekai, people start lining up to point out how many things possibly fit under the isekai umbrella when it's pretty clear that the people saying they don't like isekai mean a very specific sort of isekai not literally everything that involves someone ever traveling to another world or time period ever.
