i don't know much about it, but my understanding from an ex is you're supposed to get involved in the romance between the mc and the fox spirit dude. you see this in a lot of stuff with fox spirits- fox spirits are sus but at the same time they make great spouses, reflecting the fact that foxes (well only some types i assume) are monogamous.

the only drawback is you can never let your fox wife watch the chicken coop

It's been delayed again because Japan declared a state of emergency over COVID that won't end until at least February. I think it happened like immediately after they released that trailer.

*bong rip*

FLCL was an early anti-globalist anime in that the poorly defined but ultimate villain of the series, the alien corporation Medical Mechanica plotted to iron out the wrinkles of the planet, thus making it perfectly smooth, perfectly spherical (or as ardent free market capitalist Thomas Friedman would put it, flat) as such creating a frictionless environment for the pursuit of trade

Never read Gantz, loved Inuyashiki, and I thought surely Gigant has to get good at some point? Then even the characters actively resist anything resembling a plot moving forward!

There's a lot of Japanese people, particularly young men, with no prospects so all they do is game and watch anime all day. The ideal target audience for escapist media.

I can understand the appeal of "I get reincarnated into WoW and now I'm jacked & get to gently caress pussy" it's when you add the layer of "I must introduce the nightelves to the whopper" that I become confused

Well yes, the appeal of escapism in itself makes sense, but that isekai dissolves any pretense of actual narrative is the odd part.

Heck a lot of isekai doesn't even bother giving supporting characters names and is upfront about being incredibly generic.

Dungeon Fantasy + High Concept (usually described within those funky titles we've been discussing).

I'm kind of reminded of the old TVTropes mock threads and the TVT posters who'd at the baseline describe their fiction and OCs using the tropes.

I guess the subversion is that characters don't have vidya game stats like in every other isekai, but the protagonist keeps making dumb references anyway. Also, he never stops being loving annoying.

what if one of his isekai powers is that all the clear indications that he’s a crazy person with bothersome mental tics are confused by the locals for divine insight, like a Joan of Arc or something?

would explain the harem!

also gotta give it credit for talking about not just gay marriage, but divorce and masculinity as well

I think an American equivalent would be how Garth Ennis does his edgelord poo poo but also can genuinely write some of the better heartfelt stuff in the biz

also My Brother's Husband is great if you want a queer themed manga that isn't about CLAMP guys holding each other in their arms under a blanket
