The title is about Jobless Reincarnation, but it's actually a neat article about the history of isekai and "Narou" fiction in general.

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2021-03-19/mushoku-tensei-is-not-the-pioneer-of-isekai-web-novels-but/.170429

Long and short: the fanfic-y qualities of isekai and similar WN premise trends comes directly from fanfiction, particularly Zero no Tsukaima fanfiction, and it proliferated so hard due to a combination of Narou banning fanfic in 2012 and the demonstrated success of WN authors like Reki with Accel World. MT's author has talked about how he was drawn to Narou following failure to publish through traditional channels, and like many fanfics and other isekai, it's a result of a write-as-you-go process, drawing on reader reactions and other writers (apparently he straight up told rezero's author that it inspired a climax in MT).

The Elaina novels have their issues but the manga and anime are on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to building on something in adaptation versus not and also dropping chunks of what already worked.

So the lesson is: the manga author works as part of a duo on The Apothecary Diaries manga and that's a fun time

We need an isekai about a guy isekaid who has to kill all the isekai protagonists that appeared and hosed up the balance of the world.

Because another isekai protagonist would further cause problems all they get is two scrolls of feather fall, hold portal and suggestion.

There is, in fact, a series about a character whose job it is to murder isekai kids before they gently caress things up. They aren't a transplant themselves though.

Is it at least fun? I know there was a doujin/webcomic/webmanga/whatchamacallit where it followed a truck-kun.

I liked the volume of Executioner I read well enough, though they of course get derailed by their latest target being very difficult to permanently kill.

I mean, it seems pretty obvious it's going for a "hey this story you've been told about the Isekai'd kids destroying the world if you don't murder them as soon as they land in our world" may not be a totally true story told to our executioner protagonist.

Either that or she's going to fall for the aforementioned impossible to kill Isekai and forsake her task.

Well yeah, though as of the first volume that still appears true, the main twist is that her boss was also in on trying to exploit isekai kid powers for personal gain.

The main character's motivation of "killing innocent kids is hosed up, so I'll become the best killer and do all the murders myself" is also really funny and makes me think of that one set of Gundam IBO lines.

That's not what I mean. Someone who was excited about a second season and was disappointed that most of the cour went to the same episode eight times doesn't necessarily care about why that happened. It's irrelevant to the actual experience.

In other news I cannot believe that the Adachi and Shimamura author decided the best bonus for the final volume of a 12 ep anime adaptation was a story about one of them after the other, and every other named character, has died of old age. It's cool but drat, especially attached to something that only covered early parts of the books.

Babylonia 00 was initially treated as a somewhat budget preview of what to come, but it's probably the most interesting part for being (partially, it's still kind of a recap) its own thing.

e: tho tbh I'm still kind of interested in Solomon since that's shorter and mostly focused on other characters until the very end and gudao having a power armor thing is interesting even if it isn't a personality, lol

Yeah, the fgo manga come across way more author-driven than the anime which is why they're fun. esp when they do stuff like the parts in Shimosa that sneak in the author's take on the home base dynamics.

the OVA was an add to a re-air to bridge to the movie and doesn't add a whole lot plotwise, but is worthwhile for dedicating a number of jokes to the character of Instructor Sugita, voiced by Sugita, who claims to be super cool and know the main cast's captain super well and is immediately revealed to be a dork bragging about things like saying "hi" during coffee once

but also yeah, eva TV/EoE honestly doesn't have that many straightforward "cool" fights. Even when it's not a horrorshow it's stuff like "asuka tries to not die in a goofy lava suit" or "we Danced To Win and still looked like dipshits at the end"

The point I was making wasn't so much that NGE is bad actually, more that some people's frustration is that this teenager being sad is getting in the way of the cool fights they are watching the show for, and thus the sentiment that he should get over it already

the second ep firmly establishes that him getting sad enables the "coolest" moments tho :v:
