"MEEEHH!!! Why is J.R.R. Tolkein's books so wordy and boring?!!!"

Because Isekai elf girls are what happens when you only take surface information from LotR without the literary significance :yoshi:

Isekais probably take more from FF and DQ than Western fantasy novels at this point.

Somewhere along the way anime writers forgot what children were.

Not what they do, what they even were.

I don't think fiction writers are good at children in the first place.

In the same game, Nah, daughter of Nowi (meaning someone hit that, oh god, I'm trying to imagine a pregnant Nowi and its awful), is actually at most a young adult, which you can then marry and have her bear your spawn in the future-future.

BUT IT'S OKAY BECAUSE AWAKENING SAVED THE SERIES.

When a deadly virus wipes out all of humanity, and every other living being on planet Earth, the single being immune to the virus will live out the rest of his days as the sole survivor of humanity! How will Idon deal with the lack of scavengeable food? With the vast, untraversable environments? The lack of power, or any semblance of stability? And worst of all, the crippling loneliness!

Find out in the new hit release: この死んだ世界はそれほど悪くありません！

That's...

That's eerily similar to my pilot...

There is not a single element in this image that won't get me arrested for high crimes against humanity.

Probably, but it all has a singular origin, western or not. It amazes me how absolutely serious Tolkein took his work. Not a single letter in those books were the result of ***pulls and wish-fulfillment. There was a philosophical, literary and even religious purpose to everything in Middle Earth, and for how influential it was, no one's been able to recreate it. Not D&D, not RPGs, most certainly not isekais, and not even the high fantasy series that have a ton of effort put into them like Wheel of Time and a Song of Ice and Fire... :yoshi:

I was going to point out Earthsea, but as much as I love it, it's hard to argue say that it came close to Lord of the Rings.

Infinity War, no redeemable qualities about that film whatsoever.
I actually sat down and watched Birdemic all the way through, it wasn't even like The Room in that it was a hilarious trainwreck, it was just a straight-up trainwreck.

I have a hard time deciding between Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad. The former probably sucked more but the latter offended me on a personal level.

I've scoured Netflix for the worst animated movies. I survived Food Fight, I lived through Norm of the North.

But there was this one movie, so obscure I can't even remember the name, that was atrocious. It's almost like a fever dream. The animation, the voice acting, the story, garbage. And the worst part is it wasn't even funny.

I've spent years searching for it, to watch it again. My efforts have been fruitless.

Is it one of those rip-off animated movies, or is it just a bad animated movie?

Well, luckily for me I missed the Isekai convo. Don't mind the genre, but its kinda repetitive. Prefer straight pure-fantasy.
