Or if you dont like being told what you will like

you wont like anything because you have personal application and are not a npc

why is the goblin thing so popular?

just the immense amounts of rape?

The light novel was popular

wasnt it a D&D joke?

In turn spawned a manga

you mean overlord?

Manga was popular. That spawned a anime.

Happens alot.

I am not much for isukai cause...

swordart

ugh

just saying it makes me have acid refux

Since now the people watching Goblin Slayer were either already fans of the LN and the manga

Call it wish fufilment

Goblin slayers just dark fantasy

atleast overlord was funny

in a "one punch man" sort of way

ANd Goblin slayer isnt an isekai

the whole "trapped in another world" anime genre feels overdone now. but thats what oversaturation of the market gets you.

Theres pleanty of those already

But it felt like it.

I mean to be honest its probably just another form of wish fufulment.

"That time I got reincarnated as a slime" will continue the comedic isukai trend

I bet alot of people in japan wish they were just taken to another realm

I watched inuyasha when i was a kid

Thats the only "trapped in another world" cartoon ive seen

It was interesting to be honest.

probably the first time I got used to a female lead.

I think the first one I saw was El hazard.

but that predates the inuyasha cartoon.

but not the manga I think

japan is so strange but cool. but still confusing

A lot of people all over the world wish they were taken to another world, it's a really, really common fantasy. In the West you have stuff like Narnia and Harry Potter that spring to mind.

or never ending story if you are old like me

so it is possible to write good isekai stories that aren't just self-insertion wish-fulfilment, but the trend especially in Japan is definitely leaning towards milktoast protagonist people can relate to and insert as

Why does 30 feel old now?

oh yeah, neverending story too

while I haven't watched Neverending story in probably two decades, I think that's got a pretty bland and uninteresting protagonist as well

the world was interesting,
