Anime and Manga Thread: Isekai must Die edition


Recommended Posts

Isekai is possibly the worst genre besides harem bs and then it can be even worse since most brain dead cookie cutter isekai being crapped out are in fact also harems......shit is horrid.  

 

We need more actual fantasy stuff the likes of Goblin Slayer and The Promised Neverland.   

 

Emma is one of the best female protagonist that we have gotten in a while and Beardcutter is just a badass

I saw SAO back when S1 was popping and I honestly didn't hate it. Yes the pacing is shit and yes Cuckitito is OP and trash but eh..... it wasn't that bad. That being said that was like 4 years ago and I dropped anime after that so I wasn't around when the Ieskai floodgates opened. 

 

My taste in Anime is pretty post 90's early 00's Gundam/Shonen schlock so I'm not to hung up on what Anime isn't right now since I've gotten into some recent shows that entertain me.

I wrote a review about it on the original site a year or two ago. My issue with it is that SAO isn't the worst thing ever. I'd rather watch that over some garbage like Queen's Blade. What I really hated is that Season 2 used a plot element that could've made Season 1 really, good and season 2 itself was overall actual garbage. They finished the main arc of it with about 6 episodes left and they made that all filler so I bailed.

 

The point from Season 2 that I wanted them to explore was the real life repercussions while everyone was trapped in the game. Shit like what's happening the the players comatose bodies, what is the public at large doing to bring the whole incident to an end, etc. The first season had a bunch of time skips and I feel episodes covering outside happenings would've made it smoother on top if providing a better thought out story. You know like "Kirito is leveling right now so here's some other stuff to dig into instead". The whole premise of the series was wasted potential, and since SAO set the standard, I don't think it will ever be properly done. There's so many things you can do with that conflict especially for a talented writer.

What is everyone looking forward to from these next few upcoming seasons?

 

Megalo Box looks pretty hype.

Upcoming seasons?  Shit I'm still waiting for all of last season's stuff to finish so I can binge it all.

 

Binging is the only true way to watch anime.  Once a week is for plebs, scrubs, and desperate people.

Not sure if it's an april fools joke but ANN is reporting that Toonami aired the first episode of FLCL3 in japanese. Gotta scour the internet now!

 

It wasn't an april fools joke.

 

Spoiler

Dunno what to think about this episode. It wasn't terrible but wasn't exciting. I guess I was expecting it to be a lot more whimsical but instead it turned out to be like a k-on episode and I hate that show. For now I'll try hard not to compare it to the original series and wait and see how it all plays out when it finally airs in September
