I checked out the first episode. It's unabashedly degenerate, and over the top. It's a great start ๐

That makes sense to me, a hybrid of /c/anime and series-specific /c/s depending on popularity. That makes more sense than /c/episode_discussion since that's categorized on the type of content, rather than categorized by a community of people interested in it. So I agree with the future vision. Appreciate you taking the time to explain!
I like what I've seen so far of Dungeon Meshi / Delicious in Dungeon, 4 eps or so. Marcille's reactions are priceless! Subbed ๐
Oh so [email protected] is getting phased out from the sound of it. I'm out of the loop and was curious how that community fit into the picture, this cleared it up, assuming I interpreted correctly.
Thank you for your hard work! I've been lurking here a while and see you're contributing so much content, awesome ๐
I haven't seen Date a Live, what do you like about it? I've seen the red goth lolita girl in fan art, and the title sounds familiar, it seems to get referenced a lot over the years. If they're up to season 5 there must be something special about it huh?
I love Uncle from Another World (Isekai Ojisan) because it does isekai satire so well. I'm seriously laughing out loud every episode. Watching it slow so I can savor it
It's basically what I thought Eminence in Shadow would be. EiS is self aware and pokes fun at isekai, but taking a step back... it's still a standard isekai. To be fair I haven't finished S1 of EiS yet so I may be too quick to judge. But to me it feels like they stuck in as many isekai tropes as they could, and an edgy sarcastic MC, and called it satire... I mean it kind of is, but idk
So to answer the question: basically the overpowered MC, the slave harem, the weak attempt at blending in so nobody can guess MC's real identity as a god-tier warrior. How MC outsmarts all the natural denizens of the isekai and instantly understands how their world works and how to game it.
I also dislike when MCs basically completely forget their old world, they never stop to reminisce. I get that that's kind of the point of isekai, escapism and not thinking about real life... but it's unnatural to me. They bring their memories with them but throw them away.
Of course some of the better isekai do talk about both worlds. Like Re:Zero comes to mind, and ofc the ones where the isekai is a literal video game, and they travel back and forth.
