| Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're not the only one who's frustrated with this Isekai overdose. |
 |
| Took long enough, I've never en bothered with it. |
| Enough is enough! I have had it with these mother-fucking isekai on this mother-fucking media! |

| Nothing new from anime studios to take a popular genre and want to get a slice of the pie to profit off of. But won't deny the oversaturation irks me, particularly with reincarnation gimmicks or the series lead conveniently being overpowered and able to overcome enemy threats just about effortlessly. |
| "I Had Enough With Isekai Anime!" Check Youjo Senki aka Saga of Tanya the Evil tho. |
| The most popular genre is always going to produce a lot of trash, the amount of good authors is limited. I just avoid any isekai that doesn't stand out for some reason. |
 |
| I've had enough with 'I Had Enough With Isekai Anime!' threads, lol |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
Zheniost said: I'm not saying that all isekai anime are bad, there are still some gems out there that are worth watching. But the majority of them are just plain boring and uninteresting. I'm just so tired of seeing the same story over and over again, it's time for something new and fresh. Well you do realize that pre-SAO Isekai anime were very different back then from today. But yeah, I agree that modern isekai show aren't being creative compared to pre-SAO titles from the 90's and early 2000's. The saddest part is that today's isekai fanbase/fandom aren't giving these same classics the same love that today's modern isekai are getting. I mean Aura Battler Dunbine, the 1st Isekai anime from 1983-84 is dangerously ignored by the same fanbase that are watching modern Isekais. You would think that fans of today's Isekai would be giving that show along with Fushigi Yugi, Escaflowne, .Hack franchise, Magic Knight Rayearth should be given the same love it's deserve. Speaking of Dunbine, I stumbled upon a Reddit thread from a user wondering why did Isekai craze just blew up recently when Aura Battler Dunbine (and future anime in the 90's) did this in 1983. |
| Based af. Isekai has to be one of the most cringe genres out there besides that ecchi and harem garbage. |
| Same thing, in my opinion, can be said about romance or shounen anime. It's all the same in every similar genre when compared to each other. Though I understand your frustration. How about Isekai Nonbiri Nouka? None of what you complain about is in that anime. We don't know if MC was a neet, he's not OP, hero or similar, yet, and he does not have a harem, yet. A bunch of girls, yes but they aren't in love with him as far as I can see. They just live in the same farm. Though this might be one of the good ones as you mentioned. |

| Mostly every formula has been done before though creators can try to add a unique spin on things if they want to. I can`t say all of any genre are exactly the same, but it should not be hard finding a non isekai series. Every series also has its own target demographics. |

| If you see any appliance or object in your home not already paired with an elf and a blonde knight, you know there is too much untapped scope for more reincarnation isekai stories. Saying you've had enough is laughable and shortsighted. |
 |
| I like how you have only 2 forum posts and one of them is a criticism towards isekai |
RealAffan said: Naw, it's how the majority of them are handled that's "cringe". It's like they basically just pick a random noun from a hat, and that's what the mc is reincarnated as. That and it seems like they're completely incapable of coming up with ways for someone being sent to another world that doesn't involve them dying. And finally, it doesn't really help that most of them take place in basically the same setting. There's so much more you can do with the "other world" concept than just "basic bitch fantasy world #3564365". Based af.

| I wish we got more reverse isekais like Paripi Koumei. |
| Is there a reason to treat it this seriously though? Most Isekai is modern power fantasy which is fun itself. If you are not going in expecting tits, xplosions and ridiculous bs you are doing it wrong. And, yeah, there are proper exception to the rule of course, but mostly it's as popcorn as it gets. |
FanofAction said: See I get your point, but by now this has basically become a staple in these kinds of animes, so now if the audience that enjoys this stuff doesn't find these generic features in the show they probably won't watch it. Hence, the entire genre is essentially garbage. Any interesting ideas have already been implemented in previous isekais. So imo its better to just bin the entire genre and watch literally anything else. RealAffan said: Naw, it's how the majority of them are handled that's "cringe".

| Anime is trash anyways Human shows massively better |
 |
| Interesting title for a new Isekai series XD |
| (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞ YouTube @ The Pirate Collector ԅ( ͒ ͒ )ᕤ |
| They why do you watch it and what do you don the special site which dedicated to anime and manga? |

RealAffan said: Fair point. It's true these type of shows have a stranglehold on the genre to the point where isekai series that don't follow that formula, like Drifters, basically don't stand a chance these days. And even ones that do follow it, but do it better, can get drowned out.

| Otaku run the genre, like 100% run the genre now, and it's resulting in bad products. It's not sustainable, it's the only special case where otaku ruined an entire genre, because it hasn't happened to any other genre in anime history. |
 |
| Not reading all that, if you don't like it, then don't watch it |

TheEtherea said: I couldn't have said it better myself. Most Isekais are similar, so having similar low expectations is a must. Maybe having high expectations based on a unique premise is the way to go, but as Albert Einstein said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over (having high expectations) and expecting different results (maybe one of them will be excellent)."Is there a reason to treat it this seriously though? Most Isekai is modern power fantasy which is fun itself. If you are not going in expecting tits, xplosions and ridiculous bs you are doing it wrong. And, yeah, there are proper exception to the rule of course, but mostly it's as popcorn as it gets. And low expectations mean that when a good isekai anime comes out, it will completely blow you away. |
 |
| Power fantasies for coomers in le generic fantasy land ain't my thing either. |
 |
| Probably but, Isekai has not had enough of us. Shows with more sexual and violent fan-service (slavery is mandatory), are on the rise. The aristocratic villainess from another world theme, is getting as popular as the generic Kirito clone protagonists of old was. If Isekai is getting to hard to comb through, just try doing that with the Idol genre. You'll lose faith in the anime medium, before you know it. What I'm saying is, Isekai is the lesser evil, supposedly. |
DayDream_Dog said: no one is forcing you to watch isekai lol chill I agree, but practically every new series is in this genre. They are everywhere. |
|
| they have the anime style to make good stories but they always cheap out with the same formula over and over again. anya the animation looks masterpiece class simply because other shows are just so bad with the same trope or cliches. also to make highlight more of it is that they can't even adapt manga to anime 1 to 1, they somehow always manage to cut corners. also i believe they have succumbed to censorship where they cannot be as free as possible to come up with whatever random things that makes it fun to watch. it feels like they are forced to produce anime with a specific structure. why they always cheap out on animators wage? just look at the animation quality. they make billions upon billions but the quality gets worst by each passing season. |
Memores said: They why do you watch it and what do you don the special site which dedicated to anime and manga? Because jojolands is gonna start publishing and one piece is still being published These 2 are the series that have bound me with chains. As long as these remain I can't stop being an anime/manga fan |

| So have I.. So have I... Ive had enough of this crap for a couple of years... Every season they bring out more isekai crap |
 |
| I 100% agree with everything you said honestly there are some good isekai like Saga of Tanya the Evil (which I feel was one of the most creative isekai) and Re:Zero which does set itself apart from other isekai. But yeah it's getting annoying and what's even more annoying is these isekai get a second season so easily. |
DayDream_Dog said: True. It’s not without reason tho. They wouldn’t be mass producing them if there wasn’t a demand. Yes, that is what I mean, you are right. |
|
| Since there are too many Isekais every season there is bound to be degrade in quality. Its same with every genre. Just watch the good ones and ignore the bad ones if it doesnt suit u. In isekai genre its kinda easy to filter out the generic ones just by reading the synopsis. I personally dont mind Isekais since they are my guilty pleasure.Every season there will be 4-5 good shows at max so just choose them according to ur tastes and leave the rest. I dont like Idol shows, but if I start pouring hatred for them will it be justifiable? If u dont like something u dont watch it, simple as that. I think u have high expectations with every isekai which will definitely lead to annoyance. Most of them are just made to cater to that power fantasy fetish of audience, so they will be mediocre at best. |
 |
| I wish we had more harem Isekai series |
| If you like something then watch it. If you don't like something then don't watch it. I don't like yaoi, sports, Pokemon/Digimon and plain old slice of life anime. So I don't watch them.Nor am I going to waste time posting a thread how I don't like those genre of anime. There is literally tens of thousands of different anime to chose from to watch. |
| Every season we got like 4 to 5 dozen new TV shows. If a handful are isekai there is still more than enough to watch. Being bothered by it sounds rather narrow-minded. |
 |
| And what would you prefer take it's place? Media tends to run in popularity cycles, when one thing is popular everyone else jumps onboard to try to claim their piece of the pie. I.E. superhero movies in the states. As a huge fantasy buff I'm loving the isekai trend, although I agree there's a lot of crap but regardless of the genre crap tends to get mass produced by studios looking for a quick buck. I'd rather have 50 crap isekai with 1 gem than 50 crap mecha anime with 1(if that) watchable show. |
