Isekai designs. As in, character design of the mc. Just making the point that since reincarnation is common, characters have a little more variety when it comes to things like design or race despite the stupid meme about how isekai protagonists all look like Kirito.
It was just obvious from the start that it was created by Trigun man, but it wasn't more Trigun. Hard to replicate.
If we're going to go with endless black-hair clones, can we at least have them be clones of someone manly like Ace, instead of a pussyboy faggot like Cuckito?
It's not really important how effective they are at aping the genre they are inspired by (they are pretty bad); you still have a break down between ones trying to be funny (if anime actually had to be funny to be a comedy the only comedy anime are GTO, Cromartie High and maybe Panty and Stocking on a good day), the ones that are trying to appeal to people who want the appearance of crunchy fights, and the ones that are vehicles for attractive character fan service
What I'm saying is that's isekai isn't even a genre, it's a plot device. It's a common plot device of fantasy anime and fantasy anime very frequently sucks whether or not it uses that particular plot device. There is nothing about the plot device that makes anime bad on it's own but people in this thread confuse the plot device with the problems of Fantasy Anime in Current Year which are in no way directly related to the actions of Truck-San
Well that's disappointing.B-but I thought you were the only Kiwi that hated all tranime and would pass the degen test
And to answer your question, BLAME! does get weird and disappointing later on; it's not worth it.
If you want some good shit, give Blade of the Immortal a read.
Cuckito sounds like a demeaning nickname one would give to an emasculated Mexican.
porvesito cuckito no tiene huevos
Kind of, but that's because isekai is the dominant form of shitty fantasy anime currently. In the early 10s it was shitty anime Hogwarts battle harems, but that genre was slightly better than isekai because it could actually come up with cool shit sometimes like Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere. Isekai has jack and shit. Not a single modern isekai isn't just eyerolling and cringy at best. The only good "isekai" are the ones made pre-2000 like Now and Then, Here and There or Dunbine, but even though they are technically isekai they aren't part of that retarded genre shat out of the slop machine.
because they're also a plot device, just like most anime is set in a school setting, isekai is just an extension of it. for a "proper" fantasy or space opera you'd have to dump a lot of exposition and worldbuilding on the audience first, and most normalfags's eyes will just glaze over in that case. game of thrones only kept their attention long because of rape and dragons which was just safe-edgy enough, just like walking dead with drama and violence.
ReZero doesn't really count as a traditional isekai since it's somewhat of a subversion of what happens when some bumfuck idiot gets transported to a world with ninja demon maids and his cheat power works actively against him.
Again, taking RPG/MMO mechanics seriously in-universe isn't an explicitly isekai thing. And hell, it's an OLD trope at this point. I'm not sure at which point it went in-universe but even Rance did this (Rance's super power is that he doesn't have a level cap in a world basically everyone else is limited to 20-40, if I recall my Rance-Lore one of the games he beats the Big Bad by level grinding into the thousands)
Or you know, they could just do the worldbuilding as the story goes along as long as they keep things consistent. Like any competently told story. No one likes exposition dumps.
If you really have the cravings for a reincarnating protagonist who keeps getting killed but gets stronger every time, just play infinity blade instead. Sirius isnt some chickenshit kid and actually punches above their weight. So when they get their hands on the infinity blade it feels earned and their redemption arc doesn't come out of nowhere as they learn more about how that world works and what the Deathless are. They also had several books that were canon and completely optional and kept things relatively straightforward.
