Captain Invictus posted:Speaking of the konosuba guy, they also do combatants will be dispatched, where an evil Kamen rider type supervillain and his child sidekick android get transported to a fantasy world in order to investigate whether it is worth invading for their evil organization. They can summon any equipment they desire by spending Malice Points, which they get by doing evil deeds (everything from petty insults to over the top brutality) and every. Single. Character. Is a huge rear end in a top hat dipshit, so if you like konosuba, you'll like this I like this one, and the dark priestess is the best at dates.

The title is super misleading with that one. "Chosen to be Prince consort for a warrior queen" would be far more accurate.

Wasn't that one of the Isekai BBS heroes' deal? Or rather... he'd go through a portal, do a quest, come back as though no time had passed... and a few days later he'd find another portal. Or sometimes he'd get recursive portals?

No, it really is the genre. It's like asking which MMO all the VR ones crib from.

The anime certainly doesn't have any detailed gore. It tends to go for occasional brutality to reinforce it's horror aspects, with the usual blurry shadows for something that would be excessive. It's distinctly horror-themed using it's Groundhog-day-esque setup to show Subaru just how badly things can go depending on his actions, but it mostly sticks to Subaru's POV, and he's the one who has the worst things happen to him, so when he'd pass out or die it's up to your imagination what it actually looks like after.

Hey, they're not rapists. Just multiple counts of sexual harassment, then running away from any woman with enough free will to ask them for sex. This is why Sword Dad and Skelton Warrior are good heroes.

I think "A wild last boss appeared" has some comments on how when the world was an MMO there were a large number of people who got incredibly powerful, and people in the current generation who emulate them end up dead. The MC reasons that being able to respawn will do that.

I've been watching it too. It's cute and fun, but yeah, not much has happened yet. The 10 minute run time doesn't help. But with episode 3 we've started to see some of the 'school mystery' get developed, with the weird mind-control thing happening to the ones who rebel too much. I wish I knew what the translation to the opening and closing songs were.

The next quartet should be Rimuru, slime farmer, witch who killed slimes for 300 years and Shield Hero, who is slimier than all the rest put together. Alternatively, Rimuru, Kumo, Dragon Egg and Shield Hero. Four monsters arrive. As for more side characters showing up, I'd like to see Ainz meet Wiz. Lich Party. And Kumo could just write "Some Pig" in webs to get around communication. The reason it doesn't work for her right now is that none of the people she's met speak Japanese, not a problem here!

Maybe it's going for a "Protagonists are actually kinda psychopaths" thing, where you're dealing with someone who organises their schedule around making a few specific people like them as much as possible, always giving the 'best' answer in a situation etc. Kinda like how a Harvest Moon style protagonist will give you a turnip every day until you marry them.

It would suck if the resurrection was just another thing introduced by isekai'd people. "They say to raise the dead, you need to gather seven dragon balls..." Then again, in a setting where reincarnation exists... spinoff! The Tempest massacre victims are reincarnted on Earth!

Probably Magic posted:I'm kinda interested in VRMMOs as a genre, but I was wondering whether there was one that went a little bit more cyberpunk with it and explored the idea of the character you create in the MMO having a life of its own or even somehow gaining control of the player itself. It just always seems to be the theme of these things to focus on the virtual world itself instead of how it can interact with the character's psychology. It's not that cyberpunk, but A Wild Last Boss Appeared has the MC start inheriting memories of the person his MMO character was. https://mangadex.org/title/21944/yasei-no-last-boss-ga-arawareta

quote:I'd actually have preferred a low-powered story about a normal exterminator solving problems instead of yet another OPMC who can just waltz into enemy strongholds with a dopey face because they have 500 ST and 400 CON. Handyman Satou remains a top-tier Isekai for this. His cheat powers are "Received a modern-day college education" and "Owns a modern-day toolbox". The fantasy people are very impressed with reinforced steel wirecutters.

I think Log Horizon does, but it's to a world with flying mounts and the like, so it's more of a convenience than world-changing. Also Dr. Stone, though that's "humanity turned to stone for 3000 years" rather than an isekai.

Human boy with memories of a previous life in our world raised by a skeleton, mummy and ghost. Unwanted Undead Adventurer has a more grim feel, but isn't isekai. Not to be confused with Unwanted Skeleton, which is Isekai but nowhere near gloomy enough for Souls.

I like Dead Mount Death Play a lot, it's very fun and I'm a sucker for reverse isekai. Just watch out reading it in places people can see you, it has a few fairly explicit sex scenes out of nowhere. Turns out lesbian threesomes are the perfect time to exposit? It's also about sharks.

Plus it's not like they've got wikis to share information. A guild wants to keep something secret, they've got a lot more options, from avoiding the 'dungeon cameras' to preparing behind closed doors etc.
