also its decent. it manages to thread a lot of difficult needles okay, though id say it never really excels beyond having characters who bounce off each other pretty well. though there's a few kinda goofy pantyshots that feel like they ruin the point a bit lol, but its not series ruining i feel like just kinda funny. theres still definitely a selfinsert fantasy aspect to it but at least the fantasy is 'making a couple of teenagers' lives better' i think the aspect of it that does work is how relatively casual the acts of good will are, it makes it feel more genuine. like the ol side character/love interest for the guy being established as a decent person by seeing the high school girl out late, thinking shes just recently ran away from home, and sitting next to her and going 'well, you won't get in trouble if you're with a guardian, so I'll be here until the last train. Just think it over.'  its nothing amazing but given the premise it could be bad in a lot of ways so it feeling fairly genuine and human is nice, even if its not exceptional.

update: reread all of 'shaved and brought a high school girl home,' its decent but not exceptional yea. though theres one bit thats really weirdly handled (mild spoilers, sexual assault mention) playboy type the girl shacked up with previously who had sex with her gets involved in her life, pressures her to take him home with her, suggests sex, pushes her down and shes scared, and then hes shoved out of the house, he and the protag have a big debate and he leaves and he... keeps? being a character in the manga? like the gyaru side charcater girl smacks him and has him apologize to the girl he both sexually abused and tried to rape earlier and then hes just... around? he doesnt do anything and theres no redemption arc for him or anything but theres a later scene of him and the high school girl chatting about a few random plot elements, not super friendly or anything but just like he's a guy who's there and... what? what is that.

Captain Invictus posted:Wait he's actively conversing with the girls? I figured it would be, if anything, one of those "don't talk to them, you might have to work in the same place as them but just don't interact" sorts of awkward situations, but now he's just another character in the series? Dude's a psychopath, she's just working at a 7-11, she could probably find another one to work at pretty easily. The series handles a lot of things relatively well but that feels like dropping the ball.

agegap romance stuff is a pretty standard female fantasy, where they are the younger one and the guy is the older one. its not woke or anything but its hardly the first or last series to explore that feeling

Motto posted:It's apparently new to the only reviewers I've seen pick up on it not being aimed at guys, since they immediately comment about how they either can't imagine women liking that sort of thing or assume they must have never gone through anything in their lives. quote:In a way, I envy the people who can laugh at it, because it means they've never had a person make a dozen new accounts to get around their blocks. They've never ended a friendship because a man they thought they could trust turned out to have preyed on dozens of vulnerable younger people. It means they've never had their mother look into their eyes while talking about rock stars sleeping with teenage girls and say, “I could put so many people in jail.” It sounds nice. lmfao. wokely saying 'women who i disagree with about a cartoon have never been harassed in their lives.'

john carter definitely traces pretty closely to modern isekai, yeah. carter's past is specifically barely addressed, even - the immediate circumstances before he gets transported to mars are there (civil war vet, prospector), but he can't remember his childhood and so he never reflects on it. that's another trope a lot of z-grade isekai sticks to.

Brutal Garcon posted:This is a perennial problem in nerd discourse: someone brings up a recent trend and tries to analyse why it's a thing, and then people pipe up with things that are technically examples from 50 years ago, or the other side of the world. And, like, yes, they might be correct, but it doesn't really give much insight into the question "what's with the current isekai boom?" or whatever the thing at hand is. and also spaces comment about zero no tsukaima fanfic actually answered the question of whats with the current isekai boom. that isnt a joke. that is the answer you're looking for.

jokes aside i love rebellions ending because it ends on a messy, weird note where homura's affections and trauma, while reasonable, have led to her making some extremely bad choices, and everyone just kinda has to live with that, and the only person whos fully aware of it (sayaka) just does not have the tools to understand homura's choices on pretty much any level, but also doesnt have the power to do anything about it stuff like a homura 'redemption' arc, everyone coming together to fight walpurgis, a normally happy end, etc, would all be really boring
