I would say the vast majority of isekai are maybe filled with fan service but feature entirely dickless protagonists. Hell, for the last 2 years we've been getting 1-3 Otome Isekai per season with female protagonists aimed at a more female audience that mostly are content with the prince and/or half the male nobility making romantic eye contact with female protag from a safe distance.

Yeah, out of the most popular isekai, the only one I can recall that actually has a libido are Rudy, Kazuma, and the slave harem guy. Overlord guy literally cannot have sex, Re:Zero guy is the one being raped, Tanya is a child, Shield Hero has a weird mental barrier after being accused of rape, Slime has no dick, Spider is a spider, Vending machine is a vending machine, the campfire guy is busy being a dad, the mecha guy is mechasexual, the eminence in darkness guy is too busy playing moonlight sonata to regard women, etc.

I wanted the series to come to Netflix so I could finally watch and its not. Is the wife prominent? It seems like the dude and the pink haired girl are more the leads...

Rewatching Nadia for the first time in 15 years. Fun shit.

Her story elements are usually dorky wife kino, but she has an entire arc dedicated to her & it's a very fun arc. Hell, said arc is literally almost the entire 2nd season, which was kino.

As for her relevance in the story, it's kind of a joke in the fandom, but it's said anytime she appears in the story, the plot progresses shockingly at rapid speed (not in a bad way). Hell, the recent manga chapter actually prove this point once again.

Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill. He adopts a baby slime and basically raises it.

Ah, gotcha.

Still doesn't mean he can't find himself a cute wife at some point to give the slime a mom. "Single Dad" anime are wholesome for a reason.

Will probably happen down the line, but as far as season 1 goes he's raising it with the wolf uncle.
There are female characters but they never actually meet physically.
 
For the lost media hunters on here, I have a request of sorts (Especially you, Kari Kamiya)

Theres this manga by one of my favourite artist writer duo (Ryoichi Ikegami and Kazuo Koike) called Red Dove. Its apparently about a conspiracy involving the links between Japan and Israel and the ancient origins of Jews in Japan. I consider it lost and I dont think theres any place which has copies of it, theres one store which sells used copies which I could find online but thats mighty inconvenient (https://zenplus.jp/en/red-pigeon-ap...p/zenkan:dc0bdf73-cf92-4dfd-af35-376773266f52). Theres the obligatory mangadex entry without anything. If any of you could find scans of it, I would be extremely grateful. English is optional.

Found it. Raws only though. I didn't know it was the same guy who did the art for Sanctuary and Crying Freeman.

Kids' WB fucked with the broadcast order and did some edits on the side for that very purpose, like how they would later have the first episode spliced in as a flashback in the Sand Card episode because it was about Sakura and Li practicing for a play that the Dark Card would interrupt, in which it and Light give Sakura a crucial hint about Yue. But they didn't show it on TV, either.

I haven't really watched it since it first aired so I honestly don't remember any of the details, but it sounds like Kids WB changed a lot.

Tokyopop releasing the Cardcaptor Sakura manga untouched was what helped its popularity stick around once the show went off the air in the States and when the DVDs went out-of-print (it was (((shut down))) because the sub-only release was selling better, I remember seeing that release at a Suncoast). Canada got the anime proper albeit with script changes because, y'know, Rika and Mr. Terada's relationship, while toned down from the manga, was still creepy, and in all honesty, ten-year-olds needed to act like ten-year-olds, so cutting down on the romantic angle to be more like childhood crushes felt more natural.

Based Canada, for once.

The guy from Arifureta has the opposite problem. I don't like that he went from "you're the only person I care about" with his girlfriend to "actually, I want a harem now". His girlfriend is a slut who's okay with it and tries to fuck him in front of others, but the whole situation brings the anime down imo.

Ikegami is one of those people who did a lot of gekiga in the 70s 80s and 90s, the forgotten generation standing beside people like Tetsuya Chiba and Goseki Kojima (preceded the 80s and 90s seinen artists, Tsukasa Hojo, Tetsuo Hara, Kentaro Miura to some extent). One of the best realism artists in the manga scene imo, he was probably Kazuo Koikes most frequent collaborator so most of those gekiga they did have a great edge to them with the realistic artstyle.

Nothing offensive in it, the topic is interesting whether the content is true or schizo.

Japan tends to have some casual antisemitism which you can find in a lot of Anime/Manga properties, most of it aimed at Israel. Theres stuff like Melanie Carbine from Gundam profiting off the arms industry to funnel money to Israel, Angel Cop has a supposed Jewish communist plot to introduce crime and environment pollution in Japan to lower the land/industry prices so they can buy up the country and turn it into a puppet state, there was a news broadcast couple months ago where the newscasters explained how Israel controls US politics through AIPAC. I think this Red Dove is one of those cause Kazuo Koike writes some pretty fucked up stuff and Ive looked at few of the pages, unfortunately theyre all in Japanese but I bet theres some subplot about how the Jews are infiltrating the Shogunate.

Those are some fantastic raws, I've been toying with the idea of translating untranslated manga as sort of a language-learning project, give me something to actually motivate myself, and I also have an interest in Hebrew so I might try going through this.

Hopefully every Tuesday for 24 episodes. I hope they give it proper length and don't have "production issues"

That is too short. The cast will get even bigger when the true war starts and they had double volumes of LN to adapt fully. (Volume 1 was really cut in lots of details in the ova)

I mean it might actually be a chance for Fate to have a reoccuring series and not just a season that appears and fades into the moonlight (like saber)
