| I don't dislike them per se. The concept is great, but the execution on the other hand leaves more than often something to be desired. For starters, it would be great if we would get something more ambitious, multiple cour long and in battle shounen fashion with large scale worldbuilding. |

 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |

Kuraya said: Alice_Synthesis said: Alright, you do that. Meanwhile tell me why you like isekaiI believe in the future isekai authors! I like most of the animes i have seen. Why i like isekai? A different World with unique features is interesting for me i guess. That's what isekai is right, a slice of life character warping to a fantasy World. The idea of a character going to a different world is interesting. But to make it even more interesting is up to the animation studio and author of course. |

For starters, it would be great if we got something more ambitious, multiple cours long and in battle shounen fashion. Isekai material mostly comes from novels/licht novels. A new chapter of these seem to take longer then mangas/manwhas/etc.. Wait till the source is finished, even tho I doubt that my wishes would work as well in a novel. Alternatively, one could adapt an isekai from a manga, that should work as fine. |

| I'm literally watching (and enjoying) Re:Zero right now so I guess I can't answer this. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| I'm writing an isekai as we speak, so I don't hate isekai. Actually in a plot twist it turns out to actually be a time jump to the past rather than an isekai. I feel like I've put too much thought into this. |
| I like the overlord novels, but isekai as a genre has become very repetitive and just uninteresting to me. |
| It's not a "genre", it's just a ready-to-use canvas you can use to tell a comedy, a dramatic story, an adventure, or whatever you feel like writing. |
| Isekai isn't the problem. The problem is that the genre has gotten flooded with low effort manga/anime they are trying to ride the wave of popularity. And some of the low effort schlock is just offensively bad. Worse is how some companies will grab almost any old light novel and adapt it just because it's an isekai. Isekai isn't the problem, it's because it got popular and people are trying to milk it, that's the problem. |

| Nothing really changed. People who hate it now were hating it a few years ago already and people who liked it probably still like it. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Lots of blanket statements in this here topic. |

| It's trendy to either hate it or be obsessed with it. Personally I do think it does have a bit of a quality problem, but there are still quite a few decent series. |
| Most people don't hate it, they just hate the term, and people talking about it all the time. |
 |
| Well, its a big trend right now in LNs when it gets a solid fanbase, then an anime will follow. It's either you like/love it or dislike/hate it. |

Peaceful_Critic said: Kuraya said: Why can't we say the same about genres like comedy and romance? Those are genres with a lot more anime about them, isekai is still a fairly unexplored genre because of how new it is. For instance, Log Horizon explores how one would live inside a game. Additionally, Sword Art Online is about how the world emotionally affected the characters within it.As for No Game No Life it straight out has a new type of setting where everything is decided by games. Hack//Sign is a mystery about how one character got trapped in an MMO. I mean It isn't like you are only able to do a couple of things within that genre, you could explore a myriad of worlds with it in a lot of ways.It's still a popular genre. Basically there is too much of it. And almost everything is cliché at this point. comedy and romances are 'real' genres while isekai is basically just a setting so they work differently. If every comedy anime had basically the same setting, people would definitely be as tired of it as they are of isekai. That being said the upside of isekai being a setting more than a genre is that it can be paired with any kind of genre and there can be (and is) variety because of that even if at a glance they might all sound the same because what ties them together is having the same kind of premise and setting, rather than something like tone or thematical focus (like it is the case for 'real' genres like comedy or romance). |

| I don't even remember the last time I saw one. It's most likely bored people with too much time making stuff up. |
| perhaps start animating isekai with female protagonist for a start, plenty of materials out there |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| I've said it before, and I've said it again: there's nothing inherently wrong with isekai, and a well-done, original one would blow me away. There's so, so much to explore with the genre, and all that's required is that authors stop using the cheap cop-out of copying Dragon Quest for the millionth time. Just, make up a world! You can do anything! It doesn't have to be an RPG! Benphyre said: perhaps start animating isekai with female protagonist for a start, plenty of materials out there You're absolutely right about that. Even such a small change makes a massive difference, and can feel fresh. One of my favourites I read recently was Vengeful White Cat Lounging on the Dragon's Lap, where the MC is basically a classic Disney princess done as an isekai. It's fantastic, and such a refreshing change from 'edgy' isekai MCs. |

You can do anything! It doesn't have to be an RPG! I would recommend Juuni Kokuki to you, that's an isekai title with a very original/unique fantasy world imo. It has a female protagonist too, so I can even recommend it twice :> I really like that show a lot. Personally I enjoy the rpg-inspired settings as well but yeah, variety is always better. |

| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| I don't hate all Isekai. I hate cheaply made Isekai that's all of the gimmicks and none of the quality. |
 |
| I just find it trite. it's all the same plot with different flat characters and boring aspects. Honestly, isekai is aimed towards teens and newcomers to anime. And i might be both of those, but still have no interest in isekai. |
| I don't hate Isekai. In fact, most of them are too forgettable for me to hate them. They're boring, if anything. That's not to say I don't love a couple of them, but those good ones are few and far between. Isekai is just really over saturated. There is too much of it and with not enough good ones the general consensus is that it's a terrible sub-genre. No Game No Life, Youjo Senki, and Log Horizon are my favorites, with others such as Re: Zero and Overlord being pretty good as well. And if I'm solely talking about quality, even Sword Art Online was a better show and more memorable isekai than all the rest I've seen |
| I hate people who think others hate "ALL" isekai |
| i personally dont hate the genre. the reason to despise many isekai manga/anime because of repetitive concept plus the stories like to give the MC so much privilege. loser in real life -> dead -> get revived in another world -> overpowered -> harem typical isekai in my opinion is those that show losers who suddenly become winners after being dead or entering games. also, isekai seems to give protagonist privillege where he will get revived after being defeated by enemies plus he gets new extraordinary talent but when he eliminates enemies, the enemies wont get revived. thats just unfair. my conclusion = isekai is just another variant for plot armor |
 You Can Not Build The World With Beauty! You Need Brain And Muscle! Oh, Seriously? Then You Can Not Destroy The World With Beauty! Instead, You Need Brain And Muscle To Do So! Only People With The Most Superior Brains And Muscles Can Be The Best At Destroying This World! But Who Has More Superior Brain And Muscle Anyway? Me Or Her? |
| I don't hate isekai. I watched sao and I like Sinon, Escaflowne is top class isekai, even though the ending is not what I wanted. I can't wait for that Reincarnated as a Spider girl isekai anime and In Another World with my Mom, these two look promising that they'll make me smile. |
