You do you but it seems a lkttle dumb to overgeneralize

I feel like this is the crux of like, every disagreement someone has with her.

. Because of that, when I think of Marvel I don't think of fun adventure stories about people with fantastic powers who protect the world and enforce Justice, I think of alcoholic billionaires in robot suits, racism being the true villain all along instead of the evil super powered guy and people dying left and right because that's "grounded".

All of that stuff is in every aspect of Marvel.
The films don't exist in a bubble where the comics don't, the Marvel films have the themes they do because they blend the original comics with current events.

.. can't tell if racist or not....

A black guy did that review so...

Shogun is an isekai. Those are about strangers being thrown into a strange land, and what's a stranger land than 17th Century isolationist Japan?

 

[Shroob]

Me 10 years ago, "Isekai? Oh wow, this idea is cool! It'll never get old!"

Me now, "Alright, spin the wheel. This ****'ll either be generic fantasy garbage, lewd drivel, or revenge porn. Which one is it?"

 

[osby]

You guys are going on and on with anime recommendations as if Inferno Cop isn't the only anime.

How many time can a person watch a kid get hit by a truck without getting sick of it?

Smash is an isekai.

Smash is a harem anime.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

I'm open to suggestions.

Quick Isekai recommendations then:

Re:Zero - Obviously. It is a bit gory at times but like Demon Slayer level.

Gate - Another easy suggestion but I'd drop it about episode 16 or so.

Rising of the Shield Hero - If you can withstand a baffling decision about 7 episodes in.

The Devil is a Part Timer - Reverse Isekai but it's about a demon lord working at McDonalds. Really funny.

And two to avoid like the plague:

In Another World With My Smartphone - You think Ainz is OP, wait til you see this guy who's Mr Coincidence Plot with a smartphone and all the 1D waifus.
Aifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest - Same but with edgy protag and ****ty 3D CG.

Then one I'm divided on: No Game No Life - One of the best anime out there for visuals, music and premise but felt pretty uncomfortable with some of the fanservice.

I do not accept this reality of yours, Noi.

So that's why they added Joker, I see.

Man watching Buddyfight again is giving me the big nostalgia.

I followed the game since its inception 6 years ago(still remember when the episode count was not even in double digits), but then last summer it just kinda ran out of steam and fizzled out. Feels like forever ago but nope, it was only last summer. It was a big part of my early teen childhood and I already miss it.



it was a minor influence on me becoming a furry but there were bigger reasons why I decided to consider myself one

 

[Hadokeyblade]

It just hit me right now

The city that Squall and the Final fantasy 7 cast live in in the Kingdom hearts series is called Radiant garden because Squall works for an organization named Garden.

You have no idea.

I was trying to find the gif of Sakura getting hit by Truck kun but it was a Russian guy.

It has been erased from the internet.

I'm sad now.

How is Digimon not in here? Digimon as a franchise is based around the isekai idea, either humans coming to the Digital world or the monsters appearing in the real world, either one happens in different versions of the series.

the entire Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series is an Isekai. Just an fyi.

Not gonna lie this series has always given me an interesting isekai concept in my head where the person getting isekai'd gets taken into a world from an already existing franchise, the only other time i can think of where this kind of idea is tried is the non canon Dragon ball isekai manga.

Being honest.................I'm just not into that kinda Isekai really.

Just my taste. Monster catching anime hasn't really been my thing as well.

I'd agree that most of the games and franchise is based on Isekai but there are a few games like Cyber Sleuth where the concept is isekai-esche but it's not really isekai. one of the defining traits of an isekai is that once a character enters the special world of the hero's journey, they aren't coming back until the very end, if at all. And while Cyber Sleuth has you hopping between the digital and regular world you're free to explore both at your own discretion so it's not really an isekai in the way say the original anime is.

I mean.... the anime is basically just your standard isekai 10+ years before it became a fad, and with the exception of Fusion they never really "catch" any new digimon, each character is assigned one each and they stick to that one. It's the games that are monster catching rpgs.

Digimon tamers is the rare instance of reverse isekai done well.

The fantasy creature materializes in our world instead of the human getting taken to the fantasy world.

That one is a concept i wish was done more, or at least done well.

To correct on that one of my recommendations is kinda not like what you mentioned where they don't come back until the end. I'm just not a fan of digital isekai like Sword Art Online not because of it but I just like the physical-ness if that makes sense.

Reverse Isekai? Then The Devil is a Part Timer is probably the best one out there.
Demon Lord retreats to Japan after losing a war, realises he can't really use magic and is practically a nobody. Starts working at McDonalds.

But yeah it is something I wish was done a lot more. I even had a concept of an idea where a character gets isekaied and then back only for World War 3 to occur while he was away. So it becomes a grim reverse Isekai.

Alright, what in the hell is up with middle kid's hairdo and why is mini Optimus Prime there?

Congratulations, you just won the game of "spot the protagonist!"

Your prize: nothing!


as for Card Burn in the middle, he can just change his size whenever, it's never explained why. Here's another shot from the same ep:

one of my favorite scenes in Acceleracers after rewatching all of em

 

[PLATINUM7]

I have trouble believing that any version of the ooze would just leave the kid blind. That kid would have changed into SOMETHING. If you’re going by the Mirage/2003 cannon then he’d become a super soldier, and if you go by the other versions...

wait a minute...

Now that I think about it, there’s not a single version of the turtles story where the ooze results in hybrids that actually keeps that plot element. He’s in the 80s show, but he doesn’t loose the turtles by a truck accident, he just tripped and dropped them into the sewers. And he’s not a thing at all in 2012 or rise. Huh. Interesting fun fact.

And where did the Mouth come from?

Named after the Hand from Daredevil, the Foot from TMNT and just made a joke about hand, foot and mouth disease.

It would take a bit of explaining as to how to blind Daredevil and mutate the turtles. Idk maybe the canister had two components.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

You know, now that I think about it...

...The Owl House and Amphibia are both kinda like Western isekais.
