I should feel bad for this. (I don't.)

That's a black company for you! Every debugger is trapped for ages inside the game, and yet the devs are still active, and reading the bug reports!

You know, the "dragons'" design is silly, but it grew on me. I like how derpy they look like.

Yeah Seras, sorry but you're on the verge of collapse. I'm glad that Touka cast sleep on her - she's a bit too honest for her own good, and understandably paranoid.

Kind of a "fluff" episode, it doesn't progress the plot too much but still great to watch - with bits of worldbuilding (the tengu) and characterisation.

Love troubles going from Hakuro to Benimaru to Rimuru. Poor guys (and slime).

That's weird but cool.

I feel like the change was sensible. Worldbuilding is great as long as it does some purpose in the story; in this case however I feel like it wouldn't, it would simply get in the way. And without the worldbuilding it wouldn't be worth the trouble to make it isekai.

Even though you hold the position of Star Maiden... do you intend to persecute other races by calling them devils?

I laughed hard at this than I was supposed to. Oopsie, people not buying your bullshit? And holy fuck the verbal equivalent of Pina becoming a piñata.

Oopsie #2: trying to buy ingredients. Remilia already considered the possibility IIRC, but I don't remember in which chapter.

Got it - I'll go with the manhwa then. (Going anime→manga often saps my fun.) Thank you for the rec!

~~Absolutely dragon free!~~ Warning: contains dragon!

Flashback episode, showing how Rick went from a kid dreaming of being an adventurer to a guild receptionist to an adventurer fulfilling his childhood dream, meeting Reanette in the process and being invited into the Orichalcum Fist party.

Not gonna lie, the skill felt like a deus ex machina. Still, the episode was overall fun, and it delivered rather well the series' message, all that stuff about "don't give up your dreams" and "it's never too late to start".

You found the perfect word to describe Bye Bye Earth - pretentious. So far I'm watching it to see if it flies or crashes under my radar.

I'll give Tower of God a check, I don't recall why I skipped it in 2020.

I'm also surprised.

I think larger studios might be focusing on stuff that is likely to be popular with the kids at home for the summer vacations in Japan; if that's correct odds are that the next season will see more isekai again in the top 15.

Kind of funny that 2/5 of the series that I'm watching that appear in this list were things that I picked on a whim - 2.5D Seduction and Bye, Bye Earth. (The other three are Isekai Shikkaku, Failure Frame, and TenSura s3.)

Other stuff that I'm watching

  • Dungeon no Naka no Hito (also picked on a whim, kind of okay?)
  • Isekai Yururi Kikou (I'm considering dropping this one)
  • QA in Another World (kind of a letdown to be honest)
  • Dahlia in Bloom (pleasantly surprised with it)
  • Elf-san wa Yaserarenai. (please don't judge me on this one...)
  • Maougun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta (Eh.)
  • Mob kara Hajimaru Tansaku Eiyuutan (run-off-the-mill story, might drop it later)
  • Naze Boku no Sekai wo Daremo (weird but so far I'm digging it)
  • NieR 1.1 part 2 (I don't play the games, but the whole 2B and 9S story is interesting)
  • Spice and Wolf (I'm liking this version quite a bit)
  • Shinmain Ossan Boukensha (silly premise, nice message, OK implementation)

Discussion post for ch23-24.

From what I've seen most raw manga sites only go up to Ch. 25, from Dec/2023. So odds are that the quick releases are over.

Which less-known series do you recommend? (ani.social)
 

I bet that most of our reading/watching lists have a few hidden gems. Which ones do you recommend to the other people here?

EDIT: ch24 is also out. To avoid creating a new disc thread, I'm editing this one.

Summary of this series:

Just like in Otomege, Chounin A starts with a male protagonist (Allen) being forced by his sister to play a shitty otome game, kicking the bucket, and reincarnating into the game as a mob character. He is "Village A" - for the sake of the game he's just another character to die.

But beyond that, both series are nothing alike. Chounin A is more serious, it's geared towards a monogamic romance, and Allen is likeable and level-headed person, willing to work hard since childhood cleaning sewers to avoid his and his isekai mother's deaths. And to save the villainess, as in the name of the story.

Why save the villainess? Because upon analysis Allen concluded that she's the only decent character from that shitty game, unlike the heroine and the love interests.

For those who like novels, note that the light novel version of the story has been fully translated already. It's a hundred or so chapters.

[Meta] Full rules and metadiscussion (ani.social)
 

0. Disclaimer, intro, forewords, whatever

This is the long version of the rules. It's being shared here for transparency and disambiguation, but the short version (in the sidebar of the community) should be enough in most cases.

By principle this mod team (currently just me) treats users as reasonable until proved contrariwise. As such, most moderative actions will be gentle; talking is preferable over a banhammer.

Even then, the rules shall be enforced. They'll be interpreted by spirit, and in a per case basis. Furthermore the mod team reserves itself the right to remove content or users from this community if there are grounds to believe that, by doing so, the community will be overall better.

In case of conflict between these rules and ani.social's terms, policies or guidelines, the later takes precedence.

1. Keep it on-topic.

This community is about isekai. There's a lot of leeway on what you can call isekai, but this is not a green flag to discuss random stuff like politics, software or whatever.

Off-topic might be tolerated if neither divisive nor obnoxious, but only in the comments.

2. Post discussion material.

This community is for discussions. It is not the place to advertise your art, or to share image macros ("memes").

Image-only posts will be only accepted if they're clearly introducing a discussion directly related to isekai.

3. Mark spoilers accordingly.

Plot elements will be considered "spoilers" when not featured in at least one of the media (LN, manga, anime, etc.) of the series in question.

To discuss spoilers in this community, you have two options:

  • create a post to discuss spoilers from a certain medium. Make sure to include the word "spoiler" in the title and where those spoilers are from, but not the spoilers themselves.
  • use the spoilers tag. Like this:
Cautious Hero LN spoilersSeiya is OP.

4. Be tactful with NSFW content.

Don't post explicit NSFW pictures, and don't introduce NSFW discussions or pictures to SFW posts.

Discussions about NSFW series should be tagged as NSFW.

Don't get too graphic with text descriptions of sex scenes.

5. Be reasonable, and treat other users as reasonable by default.

Four types of behaviour will not be tolerated in this community:

  • Witch hunting - to accuse someone with little to no grounds to do so.
  • Targetting users based on whatever group they might belong to.
  • Passive aggressiveness - derisive remarks under a façade of politeness.
  • "wah, TL;DR!" - discouraging thoughtful participation of other community members by complaining about its length.

Don't treat other individual users as ignorant or stupid by default.

Whining, upfront aggressiveness, uncalled prescriptions, uncalled advice and assumptions should be avoided.

Nobody needs to write a full treaty on logic to post here, but don't drag discussion down with irrationalities.

When in doubt, use the report button.

Feel free to use this thread for any sort of metadiscussion. Including thoughts/suggestions/criticism regarding those rules.
