I'm currently working on a potential video/essay on the series and read a good deal of reviews calling it a parody. I don't understand where people are coming from with that assumption and would like to learn more.

I've reached out to some individuals based on their reviews but many of them either seemingly only made an account to write said review (so probably fake) or haven't been online in years. For those who believe this, could you tell me what it does that makes you think it is a parody of Isekai.

Thanks, Janie~

A few reasons, biggest being I think that this show is the epitome of lazy production. I also think there's a lot that people seem to get wrong in their reviews of the show (in my opinion) mostly regarding plot, dramatic tension, genre, and the idea of turning your brain off/ elitism or snobbery. Also I just recently finished it so it's on the mind.

I didn't lead with this because 1) it's not necessarily important for what I'm asking about and 2) a lot of people like the show. A lot of people who would respond to this probably like the show. I don't want to be rude and start by listing off what I think is wrong with it

This show is lazy af, I should have laughed at some jokes if the characters don't turn into shitty animated chibi's

Dropped after episode one though
Maybe the LN is much better

They’re making a joke about how bad it is. By calling it a parody it’s like saying “there’s no way something can be this bad without it being intentional”. It’s just a bit of cheek and tongue really.

You'd be surprised. The few responses I got either said yeah they just wanted to believe no one could make this and NOT be a parody, but there was still some wavering in people. I think it's the comedic tone that got people (if anyone truly did get got)
