| i don't have much of a problem with isekai itself, i only really have a problem with isekai series where they get teleported to an mmo, because that's a trope that is overused to me |
| I don't think that trend will end soon. I don't read LN but some new manga that recently released follow the trend and it's not only about action now. In seinen manga, I found some isekai-cooking combinations. I am not surprised if there'll be isekai-CGDCT, isekai-parenting, isekai-slice of life and othe combinations later on. |
 |
| Then what about stories about reincarnated in to a game?? XD |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| Isekai will be ingrained just as much as moe in the future :P Although, this "trope" is not inherently bad in itself. It's just the use of it that has become samey-samey with a lot of recent animes using this setting. Also, smartphones have become a subsidiary of the genre as well lol. |
| Why!? Isekai is so good, we just keep craving MOTS and Japan keeps giving it to us. You can never have too much of a good thing. Haters gonna hate; they wouldn't be making so many of them if they weren't popular with the rest of us. |
 |
| I don't really see them going away. While there are some pretty mediocre and straight up bad ones, as long as a few good ones keep popping up (such as Overlord), the industry will take that as there's a market for it still; thus continuing to produce and adapt similar LNs. |
| It took over the magic school trend a few years ago and eventually it'll die down and we'll get another new trend, so you're going to have to wait it out OP. I'm not watching all of them or even most of them, so I guess the over-saturation doesn't really bother me to much, but I can understand the complaints. |

MC died in an another world reincarnated in Japan (start with a daily highschool life where the MC helps the other characters on there problems) Oh nice countering isekai with a reverse-isekai. The cardboard cutout isekai shows won't end as long as long as people continue to buy them. And it's easy to see why. Escapism from the real world.

| lol Again with people exaggerating about isekai's trend. There are many other troupes that appears as frequent as, if not more than isekai, but we don't see people crying nearly as often about it. For example, Mecha, Idols, CGDCT. Just learn to avoid it, instead of constantly nagging about it. |
| this statement in itself is an overused argument to hate what's mainstream. I agree with you, but reality is this shit sells and it's not going anywhere. Anime is the epitome of capitalism, just look at the entirety of Akiba |

| There's many Isekai on LN but in anime seasons there's what? 4 at best from 30 anime per season? It's nothing and can be ignored if you don't like. And anyway, Isekai is a genre, not a trope. You can do Isekai in many different ways. An0nim said: I don't think that trend will end soon.

I am not surprised if there'll be isekai-CGDCT, isekai-parenting, isekai-slice of life and othe combinations later on. Those are all Light Novel adaptations for manga. Isekai don't exist in original manga in that way. |

Whether the manga is original or based on LN doesn't matter. Btw, I am not saying a trend is bad. |

| isekai is overused yes, but the creativity is limitless, the fact that the one who gets adapted is always the one with MMO, sword & magic, guild system, level system, kingdom and etc is the one that makes Isekai for me looked pretty mediocre. despite that, i’ll probablu still watched it though. why dont they combine isekai + idol + moe, that would be so sick, easy money |
 |
| it'll probably die out like all trends I just want my school battle harems back |

| Fujobait anime disguised as battle shounens and sports are what is overused here. |

| 1 maybe it is good if they show the struggles of the mc when he tries to acomodate with dealing with provlems with no power or not being a king or something (assuming he was important in that world) and that he will have a personality change from being full of himself and not caring about other to becoming the opposite 2girls that happens to be cute being in fucked up situations is a concept now? Anw dunno what you mean by "fucked up " But any key anime or higirashi or some harem like sora no otoshimono and kore wa zombie and euphoria have such things 3mecha and mind games tf |

| Are you trapped in someone's basement and they making you watch isekai anime? Should I call the police? If not then why you can't just ignore isekai anime? |
| And yet I'm thinking of reading Re zero. I dropped the anime but hey! I may like the WN !! |

Just learn to avoid it, instead of constantly nagging about it. Those tropes and in some cases subgenres are not as inherently limiting in the kinds of stories they can tell as Isekai though. Gurren Lagann and Gundam are two ends of the spectrum in story telling involving mecha. Whereas in Isekai the protagonist must die, reincarnate with a ridiculously broken ability whether the story chooses to acknowledge it as such or not and then set about moving up in their new world. I'm not saying that's an inherently bad thing, but it can get very tiring, very fast. |
 |
| I agree it's a bit overused nowadays kinda gets sucky if you think about it. Welp can't wait for the time where idols and mecha get isekai'd back to japan with mind games become the next big thing. |
 |
| I don't have an issue with that whole transported to another world in some way trope just the same bland mmo worlds are pretty boring. |
| I love isekai. All the more reason to watch it if main character is trapped or teleported to a mmo world where he needs to be the peace catalyst or some sort of hero. Boring? more like can't get enough of it. |
| Don't watch it if you don't like it. There are tons of other anime you can watch. |
 |
| Hack series, SAO, Log Horizon, Overlord. I don't know if I miss a series but yeah sure "getting trapped in a game" concept isn't new anymore but I don't think it's overused. |

| Isekai trash sells so expect more of it. There are isekai anime where they actually offer something new and/or interesting but they're too few and far between. |

Isekai-parenting, you say? There you go: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/isekai-yururi-kikou-raising-children-while-being-an-adventurer/ It is exactly as the name implies: a story about a guy who went to another world, where he works as an adventurer and raises two cute children. All three of them are hilariously overpowered. Isekai slice of life is probably something like this: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/kuma-kuma-kuma-bear/ . At the very least, it is Cute Girls Doing Cute Things. Meira_Eve said: Then what about stories about reincarnated in to a game?? XD Like this season's Shichisei no Subaru (where a girl spontaneously reappears in her favorite MMORPG, and her friends who are playing normally are confused), or like this season's Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu (where the MC is suddenly summoned into a world suspiciously similar to his favorite MMORPG)? Or do you mean something else? |
flannan said: I mean where the MC really died in their original world and get reincarnated in to a game world that they've played before. It's a common thing for shoujo novels, and the game they got reincarnated in to are mostly an Otome (dating) game. XDMeira_Eve said: Then what about stories about reincarnated in to a game??
