Considering we're getting stuff like Honzuki no Gekokujou, Youjo Senki & co as a part of it, hopefully not any time soon.

Obligatory 'Re:Zero S2 when?' comments.

And after biggest changed on Arifureta's anime staff, hope it won't disappoint us but well, as long as it's Isekai, I'm not sure

*2. 22,418 *23,581 Hidan no Aria Vol.30

Oh well, it keep going.

They are not ,
It's just most mainstream one were Isekai.

Also i am quite sure all of the listed one here Wasn't that shit kind of Isekai since I've read some of them.

Otherwise i would've joined the isetrash rants.

I'm still wondering how is the plot direction took off from the last time that I read.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

honzuki no gekokujou IS ascendance of a bookworm :p.
I haven't read slime so I'm not sure but the adaptation is enjoyable so far indeed, if the anime continues to please me in the second half I may indeed add them to my collection after I finish to read my backlog this year~.

I dont read isekai LN. I only watch like 1-2 isekai anime. I'm sick of it because the majority of works are only of this genre. It is saturating the market



Sadly, this saturation is still selling very well.

Need to stop being commercially profitable to die. Wont happen any time soon.

There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

Some people in this thread seem to have very strange ideas of what constitutes "most" or "the majority".
