although isekai specifically I think is one way to tell a frontier story without having to go back in time

Not having a problem there. But its funny how they manage to use their expereinces as a loser to solve their problems

generally that's the draw of isekai

Then again, I havent been reading good horror recently.

Dont anyone say Ito.

Everyone knows him

>the world sucks and people want to be in a different one for 25 minutes
That's absolutely fine, I fucking love Superhot and the universe makes no goddamn sense, but god DAMN does it satisfy my 25 minute itch

most isekai leans into that super hard

and it's what made SAO

only horror show of any medium I've seen is Another

SAO is pure wish fulfillment

SAO is just pure middle school nerd boy wish fulfillment

cwow if cowboy bebop is your favorate anime i think youd like trigun, its got some anime tropes but its still very westernized, its kinda like somewhere between normal anime and bebop

and it's the most popular isekai

Trigun was interesting. The first half was light and funny. The second half was dark and edgy.

SAO is bait and switch garbage
If you want to be a romance advertise as one

the author literally wrote a bunch of female characters and had no idea what to do with them

so he made them all fall in love with kirito

that is literally what happened

brilliant
A+

to be fair

the writer was 16

That explains so much

Man, the only isekai I really really like is Battle Girls: Time Paradox, & that was released before the isekai-megadon herald SAO.

also the GGO spinoff was actually decent

@Arch-Fiend that's fucking scary,. since I never mentioned Cowboy nor Bebop, but yes, Trigun hits at least my top 10 due to Westernized it is, but I do suspect in hindsight a lot of that is due to how Experimental it isd

kirito never showed up

seriously tho, how the fuck did you know cowboy beeepboop was one of my favorite anime?

he got a silhouette in one scene when people were talking about him and that was all of his screen time

@Crow did you see the movie? it was good though not as dark as the series

you literally told us it was cwow

That was me.

I blame the KGB

oh, i guess he just assumed

which tbh i also assuumed

woops

scanning the posts in my drunken state, whatsamanigga saoid that ,not I

though to be honest bebop is a LOT of peoples favorate anime
