For low brow isekai obviously you have to turn your brain off for a lot of it, but I think maybe the most ridiculous trope is the "I must find a way back home" one for the guys that had a HUGE upgrade in quality of life. It's like "I must get out of this fantasy world where I have god-like powers and a harem of beautiful women that worship the ground I walk on to get back to my life as a powerless nobody where beautiful women either ignore me or treat me like shit."
 Edit: though I suppose, given the sexual proclivities of some in this thread, the idea of a man preferring beautiful women to "treat him like shit" rather than "worship the ground he walks on" isn't THAT far-fetched.  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BB868: Those fucking ad's are designed to make you subscribe. I know everyone's financials are different, but is there a reason you just don't sub to them (it's only $6/month for a year plan) I can respect the 'stick it to the man' reason, but still. Someone always posted a link to a site called animepisode for the uncensored worlds end harem on CR, and it seams to have everything on there (haven't really explored too much though) there a couple of side 'pop up' ads to deal with, but the anti-virus doesn't alert, and I haven't had any issues, so you could look there. The cost isn't the issue, it's the idea of paying for something that is free elsewhere. That just seems foolish to me. If the ads were a bit more subtle it wouldn't be an issue, but having 5 ads back to back every 10 minutes gets old quick. One or two ads is fine, but five seems excessive, especially when they often repeat the same ad twice in a row. You're welcome to spend your money as you see fit, but personally I find their business approach distasteful. Rather than let them coerce me into paying by hounding me with an excessive number of ads, I'll just look for a different provider.

That's one thing I liked about KonoSuba. Even when he had a chance to return to Japan, he didn't want to give up what he had gained in his new life. He only threatened to go back when the women annoyed him too much... In Kemono Michi, I don't think the main character ever once even considered going back. After all, he was now surrounded by cat girls, wolf-men, and fuzzy kobold women! What more could he want in life?

I've missed that drama almost entirely due to a schedule change at work. I work way too much to follow V-tuber shit, and the only ones I'm familiar with enough to recognize in memes is Gura and Calliope. Who are the two in the back? They also get fired from apple bitches? |

I'm a fan of Gura and Calliope for their music (both on and off brand). I love Gura's cover streams. That's the only type of V-tuber stream I've ever sat through more than a full minute of, and I listen to all of them. I did watch most of the not-Calliope stream recently because I was curious about all the drama I'd seen headlines of but hadn't taken the time to look deeper into than watching one of Rev's videos. I do get an impression of the sort of content most of the streams are, because I'm subbed to both. The segment of the fandom that actually watches that shit for a virtual girlfriend experience is kinda sus. |

I really needed a break from all of the work-related stress that I’ve been going through - so I’ve been looking for some fluff to watch - something with a plot that doesn’t take a whole lot of mental or emotional effort to handle.
I might have found it in Yuki Yuna is a Hero (Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru). What could go wrong with a small group of girls’ middle-school friends transforming into heroes with an aptitude for fighting supernatural enemies and help from a secret organization, a smartphone app, some cuddly-pet-like spirit animals, and a godlike protector of humanity, with a mission to save the world from an onslaught of destruction at the ‘hands’ of a dozen evil world-destroyers? As long as it doesn’t go all Madoka Magica I should be OK. |

The 3rd season started, then they got the rights to the previous 2, so I put a halt on the new one and marathon through the first 2, and had to re-watch what I had started as it's a bit 'Tarantinoed' in it's story flow, and time line. It does dip it's toe into Magica territory, so be for warned. ETA--I don't technically think it's a spoiler to mention the story flow, but I'll put it under that tag. Click To View Spoiler |

The idea of someone who's well versed in the Isekai genre being transported to a new world is quite amusing, so far. "Where are my magic powers? Where are my super powers? Where's the cute girl who summoned me?"

I just got through disc one of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. It's interesting enough that I'll keep going on with it.
Major's primary outfit is really, really dumb. Major in a thong = "hrm, that's pretty hot" Major in a leather jacket = "okay, that's kinda rad" Major in both at the same time = "who lets her go outside looking like that" |

It's basically the anime version of Edge of Tomorrow. I am a Re:Zero fan and own/have read all the light novels. It doesn't get much love here but I think it's really good personally. I'm waiting for the next light novel to be delivered with some other books I pre-ordered but were delayed due to something or other. |

Not Anime exactly...
But I figure there will be some cross-over. https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/Miku-Saiki-and-The-Gals-are-coming-back-BAND-MAID-US-Tour-Dates-Announced-/5-2534297/ |

Don't know why I slept on it. On episode 12 and it's held my attention so far Great anime. It’s also a fine example of how to world build w/o boring your audience to tears. How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom could take a lesson. "I'm not a bad slime. (Slurp!)" I just started Re:Zero, and am amused so far. The idea of someone who's well versed in the Isekai genre being transported to a new world is quite amusing, so far. "Where are my magic powers? Where are my super powers? Where's the cute girl who summoned me?" I thought the first half of S1 was great and the second half of S1 was very good. However, I wasn't a huge fan of S2 part 1. It just seemed a lot slower, a certain character was gone, and while I was able to binge watch S1 I was watching one episode a week for S2. The original plan was to let part 2 of the season complete and then binge watch it, but I never have gotten around to it. TBH, I'm not sure I ever will. |

Never did finish it I guess it makes more sense now why it never seems anyone is watching what I am watching. If a show like AOT can't get a little forgiveness for adding necessary political drama. In favor of stuff like K-on. There's no way stuff I like can win if a majority of the posters prefer slice of life shojo stuff. I can enjoy that stuff but in the end I'll watch something weird or shounen or isekai. I was also entertained by the newest episode of realist hero. When it was once again a throne room episode.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By talon370: I also just finished up Jobless Reincarnation which I enjoyed. I have recommend that one more than anyone else here often hyping it up as "the best active Isekai." However, the last few episodes of S1 Part 2 left me feeling kinda "ehh." It wasn't that it was bad, but it just felt like a different anime. The anime stared off lighthearted and funny with little bits of seriousness and depression sprinkled it. And then by the end of the season it had turned into the opposite. A serious and depressing anime with little bits of lightheartedness and humor sprinkled in. |
