- I enjoy isekai. I've read and watched some of the most unbearably generic garbage the genre has to offer with a smile on my face, but what if we could make it even more entertaining? Feel free to drop your own ideas on how to make isekai better in the comments.

DARK SOULS PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR ISEKAI
I want it
This sorta exists.
A dude dies, gets isekai'd and becomes a girl. Now he's in a weird place with a bunch of random -tropes- girls and if they die the respawn at -Firelink Shrine- a palace.
It reads like what an anime Dark Souls playthrough in text would.
Plenty of stuff to draw from. Dark Souls was heavily inspired by Berserk.

Yo imagine an isekai where the main character is a wealthy handsome businessman that died by truck-chan and then he turned into a slave. That would be interesting to see. Let's make the world a helllike world nobody in there is good all of them are either psychopaths that would kill you on the spot or some sociopath who would assassinate you while you're sleeping. I want the mc (main character) to made a farm or something and create a kingdom and become the demon Lord. That would be cool as heaven

@@rajadarwish4712 Tbh chief I can't say I'm fond of that idea. If you make the character with the intent of making them strong or the ruler then I'd say you're already going in the wrong direction. You should make a character and then think "How am I gonna make this guy's interests and journey different" imo. The destination should be the last thing you think of.
I’d really wish more isekai talked about the psychological stress of being put into another world. What about their family? Their friends? What about them seeing a dead body for the first time? I think they underestimate how terrifying it would be.
That's the point tho, every fucking isekai is a tale about a neet that has no connections with the real world, he enjoys his "second chance". Authors instead od inovating just repeat the same thing.
Now isekai is like for trash who has lost touch with reality, I always though eventhough they were isekaied why didnt they use fking science or physics, it not that hard.

I wish there were more reverse isekai where the characters had problems adapting themselves to our world, maou sama is probably my favorite isekai
If an event like Demon Souls happened in our world... Ignoring all of the horrible stuff... Then isekai could become a reality, given the power of the Old One.
But reality is often disappointing.

The problem is in anime its usually shounen isekai. In the webtoon universe, there are a BUNCH of shoujo isekai and some are similar, but I often see some very interesting stuff and it's nice to see media done for girls that have really pretty clothes, strong female and male characters, a interesting plot line, and above everything, not seeing the protagonist grope the female characters like they have no right over there body
Late reply, but it would be nice to hear your recommendations of shojo isekai with good plot! I haven't read almost any of those and there seems to be too much to choose from
@@black-nails not the person you asked but the series that generally get recced for otome isekai are stuff like:

-Kill the Villainess: MC is not at all happy about being trapped in another world, and tries to return at all costs (yes, unlike 99% of the other isekais, she really succeeds). In this isekai, there is a witch in her world that I particularly like a lot.
Beware the Villainess: You're going to LOVE Melissa, the MC. One of the funniest protagonists that I've seen.
The World Greatest Estate Developer: MC is ugly and has the best facial expressions lol. He was an architect in his past life, and so he applies his skills to the world he finds himself in. It's another very funny isekai. You def will love him.
Blinded by the Setting Sun/ The spark in your eyes: Is not ACTUALLY an isekai, but it happens in the world-like isekais. I personally love the FL and ML, they are just SO CUTE. The world is really well constructed. It takes place in a post-war scenario. MC was an important figure in the war known as The Witch Sun, but few people know that, and she tries to hide it at all costs. The characters are well developed, most of them are very likeable and actually have personalities. Probably my favorite manwha.
TL:DR "I'm a 16 year old otaku, who is nice to a fault, and humble. I have medium length dark hair and no flashy traits or quirks. Oops I'm in another world thats just a generic video game world. I was special all along and have a broken ability, time to form my harem and face generic bad guys with zero tension."
Rimiru is charming and op, but just wants peace before violence. He's a good leader that leads his village to grow.
Subaru is a genuinely good guy who just tries his best in the shitty situations he's in. He's just a servant, trying his best for half of the show.
It's very hard to actually judge Rimuru's leadership qualities because his rule has never been tested. Compare with Shoukou's attempts to edge out Youko in court in Twelve Kingdoms and Youko's subsequent struggle given that she's had at best a crash course on court politics. Rimuru just doesn't have anything to challenge his leadership because people in that world are written to lack the power of dissent, corrupt or not. (This is what the "naming" ritual is for - to prevent internal discord from being an issue.)
Subaru isn't what I'd consider a good guy. Consider how selfish he is and callous towards the lives of people he doesn't personally know. Any well-adjusted person knows that romance is a luxury, one that falls by the wayside in times of crisis. And unfortunately pretty much everything he does is following his dick.
Definitely allocate some time to watch Twelve Kingdoms. The "well-written" protagonists of isekai today have all been done in the past and to a much better degree.
Subaru is a good guy but he’s actually an asshole
DaRelle Williams what? Subaru is a really nice dude tbh. Even more so when season 2 gets animated
DaRelle Williams no he’s just a psychopath
raphael romana nah I just worded it wrong mans went crazy and he was a bit of an asshole
I love the concept of isekai. Love the idea of a guy, girl, or group of people getting transported to different, magical place and having to deal with a whole new way of life with magic or advanced technology. What I hate is all the fan service and focus on harems. I know I'm a girl and isekai these days seem to be catered more towards guys, but the whole focus on fan service and harems grows to a ridiculous level depending on what story your following.
Same. I can't find any/many female protagonist lead or group of friends isekai stories anywhere, it's mostly catering to guys and honestly so bored of this genre because how repetitive and unoriginal they all are except for one or two details. It's just harems and fanservice everywhere and boring, lame protagonists wo all look the same and are either edge lords or naive dorks. Wish there'd be more isekais where it's less about tits, collecting wamen, and lame bad guys and more adventuring and exploring these new worlds, adjusting to being ripped from your home, survival, meeting new walks of life and growing as a character/team etc. Just the magic and wonderment of something *new*.
Alas every season more isekai fanservice and harems for lazy attention, and get grosser and more eye rolling.
The only thing in anime that is worse than harems everywhere is lolis everywhere.
Btw if you haven't already watched it I highly recommend Bofuri. Not technically an isekai, just a hilarious story about a girl playing a VRMMO with her friends.
Log Horizon is legit too. Basically an isekai but one where essentially the entire WoW playerbase gets isekai'd all at once into the game they're playing and have to figure out what the hell do we do now. The MC does have like..... 2 normal characters and 1 antagonist who have the hots for him, but the vast majority of the female characters in the show are either too busy with their own shit for romance or have somebody else they're into.
So I'm A Spider, So What? Is pretty great too. Shits pretty hard om the one guy in the show who thinks he's destined to be the MC just because he got isekai'd.
Oh, and I heard The Ancient Magus' Bride was okay? I dunno, never watched it myself.
I love a lot of things about anime, and to be completely honest sometimes I do watch Ecchi trash like How Not to Summon a Demon Lord and (for the most part, with the exception the demon lord who looks like she's 8 ffs) do kinda just enjoy that sort of trash every now again, I just wish that wasn't like, 98% of the stuff out there.
omg the lolis I just...what a can of worms that topic is. I just try to ignore the lolis whenever possible- I see one and just nope out.
Oh I've heard of Bofuri but haven't gotten around to it- but I do love the idea of speccing so hard into defence instead of, well, being an overpowered offensive typical sword/mage character. Okay the premise of having a show shitting on a guy who thinks he's the shit sounds pretty funny, so might look that up too lol.
Log Horizon is definitely a good isekai to watch, however second season was a bit hard to watch (I'll get around rewatching) but season one was good- love the opening. Banger.
The Ancient Magnus Bride, whilst interesting world and characters, never got super attached to imo. I do tend to recommend this though to friends who are starting to get into anime or want magic stories- a bit easier to digest than...other anime.
I used to watch ecchi alot. Like...a bit too much? Then again it was super hard to avoid, and I still have some memorable anime that I still like even though it's uber ecchi/sexual (i.e Highschool DxD, Heaven's Lost Property, Chivalry of a Failed Knight to name a few). Sometimes it's good to watch trash, to have fun watching non-serious stuff and let the brain melt a bit, but since it does make up so much of the anime coming out it's just tiresome. Boring, and a bit aggravating to try and find a show that isn't...that.
@@orimonochrome7902 Yeah, Log Horizon season 2 was really meh. The third season has been decent so far, nothing super special yet but there are still 2 episodes left this season so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
So I'm a Spider, So What? isn't 100% about shitting on that dude, not by a long shot, it just has a few moments with a character like that who gets what he deserves. A whole classroom full of people get isekai'd, and it mostly focuses on the hikikomori girl who gets the worst (best?) luck of them all. There is also a mystery element to it that is explained kinda in the background by the end of theb1st season (partially, they gotta save some stuff for the second half, which is thankfully airing back to back from Winter to Spring)
Oh, and I forgot to mention The Hero is Overpowered But Overly Cautious. That one is hard to explain without giving away too much detail, but I will say it starts out *goddamn hilarious* but has a realistic and believable reason why the dude is the way he is by the end of the show, and I thought the ending of the season was brilliant for something that starts off so ludicrously.
And yaaaaaas, High School DxD is the kind of trash that makes me want to live in a landfill.
I agree with what you're saying. I'm a guy who has been reading manga for the last 7 years and I've reached the point that I have a blacklist of generic shit that is a warning sign of terrible manga. If I see 2 or more of anything on the list in the first chapter of a manga, I drop it straight away.
5:50 I actually want a paraplegic isekai, one where he gets summoned as a hero but they realize he's weak as shit and he also can't use his legs or something and he just gets thrown out and has to survive in this new world on his own not knowing like anything at all and not being able to use his legs so he just has to crawl everywhere

Re:Zero is a great isekai that takes itself seriously and opens itself to serious moments but still has its moment of comedies within depths of character.
Konosuba is a great isekai that parodies the genre by having every main character being an underpowered asshole who’s overconfident. Shows the party dealing with low level monster and farming like with the cabbages and giant toads.

"What if you woke up in Rapture?"
*shows columbia*
I have to say, part of this, is that there's two sub-types of Isekai: "travel to another world", ( isekai ten'i ) and "reincarnation into another world" (isekai tensei). Most of the one's you see nowadays are the reincarnation types. But, the in the 90's and 2000's the travel to another world type was much more popular and a lot better. If you want to watch some really good Isekai, Escaflowne, Juuni Kokuki (the 12 Kingdoms), Spirited Away, Inuyasha, and even more modern ones like Noragami could even be considered that type. Isekai ten'i are basically all what you're describing that you like. People end up in another world for some reason or another, as the same people they are, because they were transported there, somehow. And so they have to figure out how to survive and thrive and often really struggle and build character along the way. If you want to see an AMAZING series, watch Juuni Kokuki. It's phenomenal. For whatever reason, the reincarnation type ( isekai tensei ), has become more popular now. And part of the trope of that, is the whole "my life sucks so if I die I can be reborn as a Mary Sue" kinda trope. Which often sucks because Mary Sue characters are boring.

"Her Summon" is also a good isrkai manhwa. In it, the main character actually visits in another world for a limited time and comes back to the real world. It is a great way to show the contrast. MC is OP in another world but in Earth he's a faliure. And he slowly starts to grow as the series progress.
I mostly like it for the art but I also like how he uses his knowledge of anime to figure out basically whats gonna happen some arcs and just end it there without us having to experience the same thing over and over, gets repetitive at a lot of parts though
Isekai needs to start taking things from different fantasy stories, mythologies, games, and more.
For fantasy isekai, they could take on some Arabian/Middle Eastern fantasies. Magi is an Arabian swing fantasy, which was a breath if fresh air from the standard medieval/European fantasy setting. There are few or barely any Japanese fantasy setting isekai too. Would be great to showcase how even though the characters came from Japan, how much do they actual know their Japanese lore knowledge? Would be interesting to see how much they struggle if they aren't knowledgeable in it.
For mythologies, would love to see some Egyptian, Greek, Celtic, African, etc mythologies being isekai into, and the characters having to survive how bonkers some of those stories can get. Why not have those mythologies transfer over into Japan as a reverse isekai? Wonder how well they will try to fit into modern human society that doesn't praise them like they use to?
Games...the video basically explained a bit in this category, so you get the gist of it.
What I'm saying is there are soooooo many different avenues to take instead of the basic formulas. It also helps expand imaginations on stories from mythologies and fantasy tales. I sure as hell getting tired of the same old basic adventure level-up, medieval setting, overpowered MC isekai.
there is an isekai manga that focused on cooking/culture that was set in a savannah background

@@PapaNierForReplicant Re: Creator probably a great potential anime with bad execution.

That seems to be the norm for korean novels O_O.
Introduce gates -> gates allow other creatures to come to world and they want to take over the world o A o or something like that.
Jey Tee uhhhh Gate??
I saw a movie with the same concept, two planets with superior life colliding .
Imagine a isekai where it is a painter gets transported. He has no interest in fighting, he is more focused on painting history and preserving memories on canvas. He just wants to travel the world and see the sights so he could paint them. The story is more about the world-building he experiences and the bonds that grow between the characters. Of course, Painter is not an applicable class, so he signs up as an adventurer to explore the world. He meets someone who teaches him how to defend himself just in case, his logic being "well if you die, you can't paint, can you?" Obviously, during the training, he ends up painting some scenes. He sorta feels uncomfortable, just wanting to paint, so the teacher relates martial arts to painting in a metaphor. He ends up learning and enjoying martial arts much more after that. He only has a few rage buttons, damaging/destroying his paintings and after he forms connections with them, hurting his friends.
This would be so inspirational to watch.
That's a good concept actually. Rather than the everyday fantasy-isekai-adventure combo, a sliceoflife would be nice as well.
Don't forget the painter should become very OP after the first few chapters of training and his friends should be his female harem he can have a guy friend but his just a dumbass then it would be perfect story
@@maadtee6281 The point of the idea is to NOT be an average normal isekai trash.
If you were just joking, I apologize for assuming.
@@ignOxy Thanks :) that was one of the ideas
This can still be improved. First of all, he does NOT end up in a medieval world. There is NO adventurer's guild. Instead, he wakes up in a techno-future, where the concept of using pigments instead of light to make images is considered totally lame. So hie "signs up with the local" graffiti "guild" and goes on adventures to paint the city something other than gunmetal grey and OD green.
I find the isekai genre very similar to the Hollywood slasher genre. it started off as just another genre, until one small project comes and takes the world by storm, I am of course referring to halloween and Sword Art Online. In the moment these were seen as the coolest shit ever, and on retrospect they don't hold up all that well (I mean that in an objective way, I love both very deeply). However, regardless of that they were so successful that people wanted to cash in on that. Then comes stuff like Friday the 13th and [insert bad isekai here]. Just the same ideas and story beats but with a new coat of paint.
I think the best way to change up isekai would be to just change the genre. Every single isekai is a fantasy series. I would love a sci-fi isekai. Like if someone was dropped into a Star Trek like world. A horror isekai could be cool. A person is dropped a post apocalyptic world (maybe something like "A Quiet Place". Or maybe someone from a fantasy world being dropped in our boring world.
Another good change would be to drop the video game elements. I watched Danmachi recently, and I hated how they used "levelling up" and "adventurers guild". Even KonoSuba, which is one my favourite shows of all time, still has these and even though I don't hate them here, I still find it annoying when they when they talk about "points" and "levels". SAO- Alicization did this well. It was the closest thing the series has to an isekai, but with only the mast basic levelling system. It dropped almost all of the other video game elements, and that's one of the main reasons I enjoyed it so much.
This has been bugging me so much that I have started writing my own isekai and my one goal is to abandon the video game elements completely, and I also plan to set it in space.
Actually, being fantasy is not the issue
It's the misunderstanding of the fantasy genre as a whole.
Fantasy and sci-fi are both subgenres of "Speculative fiction".
And yet, most fantasy worlds are just....tolkien ripoffs.
Fantasy has much more potential.
It's fantasy, meaning a world can have fantastical rules, like writing fantasy, you're literally speculating how this thing you've added that isn't real, works in this world you created.
And on top of that, all the worlds are the same, pseudo-videogame, pseudo-medieval-european, earth-like planet.
Why just be limited to that?
Even simple changes, like a donut-shaped planet, or a world without wood, or a world where fire can't be made as easily as it can in our world make interesting problems for the writer to think around.
Even worlds where magic exists aren't really explored.
Invention is usually caused by necessity, remove necessity and technology would evolve slower, if it did at all. Like, if healing magic is abundant, would medicine really develop at all?
This video has a good point on improving isekai. I've seen a lot of people who complained about isekai don't even understand what's bad about what they've seen. The problem is not the "overpowered power fantasy" cause how they get that power, how they use it, and how they interact with other powerful people can still be interesting. The problem is not the "harem", it's how none of the characters in the harem has any personality other than "love main character" and a "sad backstory" if they're lucky.
most isekai just have lazy writing but because of them those tropes are now almost labeled inherently bad. It really grinds my gears.
now mushoku tensei is an isekai that have all those tropes but actually has good writing (since it started the trend), but i know people are just going to complain about how creepy rudy is. damn it.
Somewhat matured, adult Rudy is pretty based tho
I read the LN and the manga of Mushoku up to a certain point. I dropped it. It had one part where Rudy meets his father(I'm trying not to be spoilery) and it was very moving, I even cried but everything else felt bland and cliche. I'm not even sure why I read so far when Rudy's pervertedness was off putting but I did give it a try.

People hate isekai because they themselves can make a infinitly better isekai plot then the average isekai anime In a few minutes when suddenly asked to do it
I think one of the main reasons (for me at least) Overlord works so well, is because they'll have so many episodes dedicated to other characters that aren't the overpowered main character, all the different perspectives and all that worldbuilding does wonders for it.
Pretty much the same reason why One Punch Man is so popular.
You just like to learn about different characters from the same universe and then compare them to the overpowered MC
Overlord's fights are the most boring thing ever tho
@@MamaTrixxieAsmr I'd argue overlord isn't about the fights tbh
I actually hated the first season, like legitimately just Haaaatted it. And for years I thought, "Oh I guess thats just all there is to it"
Then I finally watched season 2 and the exact reason you give made it so much unbelievably better.
First season just felt like it focused on the Ainz and his crew too much, and like the show was just sucking on itself.
"Hey this world has a level sys..."
*Close tab*
Re zero is one of my favorite anime because I relate to the things the mc feels. Like trying endlessly to make things right between them and the ones they love.
People call it shit for the heavy exposition even though AOT does the same thing. Regardless,heavy exposition is required because without it you'll be left clueless and with plot holes. Either way Re:Zero is by far the best Iskeai
@@poopdownthedrain3819 Its hard to turn a book into a show and not take out a lot of it. A book is the tell and show all while a show is just really meant to SHOW whats going on.
Honestly, i want to see an isekai that lacks a HUD and Lv. system, making it so that the only way to progress is to actually learn shit instead of just grinding exp.
Re zero
Log Horizon
I think...
@@robinolsson7003 log horizon is a base game isekai lol
@@copiumuser3134 I don't know what that is. But OP wanted one without a HUD and lvl system, and as I recall it Log Horizon doesn't have any of that. Am I remembering it wrong?
@@robinolsson7003 there is no HUD because we watched them from 3rd person view. But log horizon have the same operating system like SAO, for example : pop up screen in front of you, lvl system, login/logout, etc.

Eh, would be better if the main character wasn’t so much of a damn pervert. I hope that they tone it down a bit in the future. I’m not asking for it to be completely gone, but it is creepy how obvious it is.
@@judgment5090 it's needed for the character development. Lemme tell you he gets better. Way better
Wasn’t that like one of the first Isekai out there?
There was an Isekai that I read as a manga that was really not popullar. The scan group was falling appart and they posted a chapter each 2 months. What was really good about it is that the guy wasn't overpowered he just used karate techniques to fight and was also very smart. All the fights were unique and life was also really harsh, and it rreally felt like the mc could die. There was no harem, just a romance that really adds a lot to the story. The name had karate in it. It's my favorite Isekai.
sauce?- i mean- name plz?
@@imhereforfun9852 I don't even remember saying that, and i remember the manga as karate isekai. I have no idea how it's called. I was able to find it with only that one time, it's on mangadex if it helps.
I just discovered your channel but I'm really starting to like the content here
One month in the future I hope your still enjoying my content
@@ScamboliReviews it's pretty cool bro
If the isekai genre keeps going on like this it’ll just be isuckai.
I'm genuinely surprised by "So I'm a spider so what" 's manga adaptation. On one hand it divides people due to it skipping almost all of the non-spider content (essentially 40% of the early story), on the other hand it draws many people in(including me) into the series by showing great fights and what you mentioned in the video. It allowed me to not be bored by the extremely long "prologue" of the spider LN because I've never seen the human side and could imagine/remember all the fights in my head. By the time I finished the fifth volume, I was like hOLy SHiT and could tell that this is a truly innovative one that does almost everything that an isekai should have done well.
Anyway, hope you could consider a spider video if you have ideas for it.

Love the videos man, you single-handily made the quarantine tolerable.
Isekai reached its peak almost immediately with 2 shows in the span of 2 seasons back in 2016:
- Konosuba
- Re:Zero
We were spoiled with some really quality isekai. Konosuba has some of the most likable characters you'll see in anime, it feels like a really good sitcom taking place in a fantasy world. In other words I see it as what Always Sunny in Philly would be if it was an isekai. The world might be generic, but frankly I find the generic world enhances the show, because it satirizes elements of the world much like One Punch Man does with its superhero genre.
Re:Zero sets up some pretty interesting world-building elements right from the get go. Satella and her grip over Subaru, the royal candidates, Emilia's strange similarities with the Witch, various races and their bloody pasts, various sins and archbishops, etc. And there's great characters with depth and flaws. ( this becomes even more apparent after season 1 ). Subaru is perhaps the weakest character in this world, with his only ability being able to return by death. And in some ways that's OP, but since Satella is granting him this power the audience can assume that if Subaru continues to use this borrowed power, it may not end well for him.
It’s not Satella it’s the witch of envy. Two completely different people.
@@regulus3413 satella is the witch of envy
subaru they are the same person but different personalities.

*Magic Knight Rayearth is a criminally underrated isekai.*

Yes i love when subaru beats the fuck out of a giant dog with a sword
@@pole8740 lmao
no
@the_quiet_one you sure about that bud?
@the_quiet_one yes
*GRASP*
Dark souls/ king’s field/ sekiro: shadow die twice protagonist style (which is, that you’re always weaker, worm food. And only win not because of sheer power. But from patiences, resolves, skills and knowledge)
Seriously, I think re:zero is the only anime using this kind of protagonist style, or perhaps the only good one
Or the only popular one........
Nope it’s the ONLY one, but there’s a reason, Re:Zero was actually first released as a Web novel before the huge Isekai trend even started which meant it was made to be an isekai because the summoning to another world was used to tell an actual story instead of just jumping on a trend, because It was Mushoku Tensei which started the surge in popularity of Isekai and it essentially invented the modern genre of isekai and created most of the tropes except it actually does them well, it’s easily 2nd or 3rd best isekai ever with Re:Zero being 1st
Though there are other Isekai with more realistic styles, Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash for example has a group of people be isekai’d but they have no special powers and lost their memories of their old world so they have to start a party but everyone is very poorly trained and none of them fit their roles properly making it a huge mess and they only barely survive and make a living for themselves

@@julianalanes946 it's not actually a isekai tho

Lmk if you find it, shit
Did you find it?
Find anything?
hey *slap slap* did you find it? *slap slap* did you do it?
@@ScamboliReviews There is a manga called "survival story of a sword king in a fantasy world" and i think its almost the exact same thing you asked for.
imo Re:Zero is an amazing anime tho
I think homeboy here was making that point, too. When he showed the side-by-side of Re:Zero and that other anime, I think he was accentuating the fact that one is a clip of titty rubbing and the other is a smooth fight with good looking characters. That's what I'd like to believe, anyways.
yannick sloot Re Zero is fantastic I agree
just putting yourself in his shoes while watching rezero is what makes it so great, people argue about hhh rem best girl hhhh no emilia hhhhh but honestly who cares about the girls, my dude here going through the worst shit possible, experiencing the same nightmare over and over again. i have nothing but respect for subaru
true, subaru is my second favourite anime protagonist ever. he is an amazing dude
Yeah. It is kind of like stiens;gate, but more suffering.
The thing about s1 of re-zero it was actually really compelling because seeing our boi die over and over again just to find out the clue as to how to reverse the story
This video proves why solo leaving is so good.
But Solo Leveling doesn’t belong to isekai genre though
solo leveling is just another power fantasy story
@@user-yd4om1qw3n you disrespectul brat, how dare you to say such nonsense?
I want to see a reverse story. Starts when the MC has finished saving the fantasy world, gets sent back home and realized something/someone took his place in his home world and he has to save it with the knowledge, but not magic from the fantasy.
Oh shit that's a fucking good story idea
There are some manga based on retuen story of isekai hero but include magic
That would be sweet
Well not the same thing but
Isekai Ojisan is when the MC come back and see everything that he love not being here or how the world as change (aka sega don't make console anymore)
U should watch Re;Creators
“Parapalegic in another world”💀
Johnny Joestar in a nutshell
I got a storyline idea. What if our main character goes through and starts making his character but instead of spawning in the beginner stage a hacker makes him spawn in the hardest section of the game. Since he's a beginner and nobody has reached a high enough rank to come and help him and his attacks are useless he has to think of a strategic way to outmaneuver the hostile NPCs and make it to a jump portal to teleport back to the main hub. He makes it back to the main hub and goes to report the issue to one of the main admins that he befriends and they both set off to find the hacker terrorizing new players and put a stop to him
Wow thats creative
And he just PK-ing other because of toxic online game. So he just copying what others do
How did I not find this sooner? I seriously need to take notes on this
I became a paraplegic in another world after I took an arrow to the knee
In another world as a drug addict
did you gain stand?
Lmao
I was an adventurer like you.
I'm actually extremely fed up with levelling systems. It only serves to take me out of the experience because of how fake and unrealistic of a feature it is and seems to be used as a crutch to write a character growth without thinking of subtler and more effective ways of going about it. Plus, it's been done to death and always works the same way.
It'd be nice if the isekai authors stopped shoving them down our throats all the time.
re zero doesn’t have leveling systems
@@christmasgrinch4017 he never said all of the isekais have them,he just said that he felt like less should have them
Also: every magic system _has_ to be based on “mana”
Like c’mon can’t you come up with anything better? Why is magic always some sort of RPG leveling system based on mana? What about using magical objects, buff powders, or familiars- why is magic always contained to some finicky and cliche version of “mana”? I will take literally _anything_ outside the vague concept of magical green orbs which conveniently run out anytime the author wants it to.
FreshCarrot uh, wait, it was a recommendation, i didn’t mean to offend you or something, sorry.
There's good ways to do it. "I'm a spider so what" is entirely build on the idea of "what if there was a world were a leveling system actually had a reason to exist"..
It takes some time, but the story really evolves. I'm sad the manga isn't adapting the switched perspective story progression... But the LN and the story itself is awesome.
2 words ... Log Horizon. It deals with the real repercussions of being stuck in a world like this, and the implications of such an event. really separates it
No lol
especially the abridged version, since it goes deeper into themes like that, even though it usually ends up being there for comedy.

Grimgar was so damn good, and it fits pefectly with how he doesnt want overpowered characters

@@lukemartin4618 yeah, sad man
"I'm a spider, So what?" became an anime as you recommend it.
but its more fucking focused on the classmates, rather than kumoko surviving and shit like in the manga
Good choice of background music!
The biggest obvious problem with the Isekai Genre is It's over-reliance on the medieval aesthetic. Saga of Tanya the Evil is a breath of fresh air because It uses a completely original World War Era Isekai aesthetic instead, which was a major factor in It's success.
H3adHunt3r first episodes of tanya the evil were amazing but the story was so boring
Similar aesthetic yeah, but we're talking about isekai here
I'd love an steampunk isekai tho
not true, it is forced harem, nothing really dangerous happening, totally silly characters, not remotely serious or dark
More like the op and harem based mc with those who don't listen to him being assholes from the beginning and him getting anything he wants easily wish fantasy shounen writers would write an isekai atleast they are creative unlike highschool harem writers
There’s nothing wrong with Isekai. It’s a great genre with awesome potential. There is however something wrong with the mangakas who decide too do carbon copies of other isekai with just a few changes. That’s what makes it so stale at times
Bra, liked, commented and subscribed 👍 on point 100%
It just makes me happy you made this around the time the Mushoku Tensei adaptation was announced :)
Re;Zero is by far not wasted potential. At least not the source material.
Adaptation was also amazing, by far my favourite isekai and one of my favourite animes.
The anime is "better" than the source material atm
Besides being able to respawn on checkpoints and retaining memories from before respawn.

"I'm not gonna turn into some video essay channel..." little did he know
also
I was working for a while on an isekai where the main character wakes up in a world where the economy depends on harvesting bits off mega-fauna (ranging from like, the size of an 18 wheeler truck to several Godzillas high in a few cases). not like, killing them, they're ecologically vital and generally extremely difficult to kill, but like, getting a scale, or mucus, etc. and the people that do it are called "harvesters". I kind of envisioned it as somewhere between Hunter x Hunter, Attack on Titan, and Monster Hunter in terms of how the harvesters operate, if that makes any sense (you basically need both some kind of superpower and specialized equipment to do harvesting), but it's more interesting because they're not killing the beasts but instead harvesting little bits or secretions. the worldbuilding potential of this setting, especially the megafauna and the culture and skills of the harvesters, seems so big I'm probably not even the right person to write it.
also, considering how the technology is shaped by advances derived from the mega-fauna, it would not be comparable to any particular era of our world, and might sort of be a mish-mash. there's a city very high up built between four enormous trees, and the trees have "elevators" which are actually carriages attached to the back of a centipede-ish megafauna induced to climb up and down the tree. that's the kind of bizarre thing you would expect to see in this world.
the readers would not know anything about how the main character or their friends got to this world for a very, very long time. not because it's a huge reveal - it would be pretty obviously hinted at earlier, but because after a while it takes a backseat to the characters enjoying learning how to harvest and getting better at it. lots of progression in skill, learning more about different megafauna and the techniques to manipulate them and work around their sometimes peculiar behavior. then of course plot rears its head, but it's still in the context of harvesting. there are also battles with less scrupulous harvesters, and the main antagonist is a rogue harvester who believes there is a hidden secret to the nature of the world, and will do anything to discover it. also most of the main characters and the antagonist are women, and there's a lot of focus on community and people getting stronger by supporting each other and sharing knowledge, and how people that go it alone tend to suffer needlessly. and also, with the looming mega-fauna, how the universe is huge and awe-inspiring and unknowable and we are tiny specks within in, and those without sufficient respect for that might find themselves trampled underfoot by a being who is to them as they are to a dust mite.
but lol I do not in any sense have the skill or sense of detail to write this. I wish I could just gift this concept to someone with the talent to run with. if anyone, really anyone wants to take this, and run with it, I don't even ask for credit, just DO IT. make it happen. and make it fun! that was the first thought I had, was just about four girls in a strange and bizarre world getting to climb onto skyscraper-size creatures to saw off a hair follicle and take it back to base.
