| This sounds funny lmao |
It looks like a wave of SoL isekai about peasants, animal trainers, etc. awaits us. |
 |
| more isekai huh. is this actually decent? because the publisher's (micro magazine) recent animes are all good. |

| Seems incredibly generic. |

AnimeFA78N said: seeing i keep repeatedly visit r/otome isekai and see 20 different new titles with the similar premises ... you can assume it cliche field to a degree The irony is that they first adapted Hamefura, who parodied this and her popularity in turn carried this trend into anime. |

Ikr its Akin to what if Konosuba or the current Eminence of the Shadow (this one is a hardcore parody iirc) popularity made Male oriented Isekai Big instead of SAO lol |
RobertBobert said: This is a new trend in generic isekai works. Wouldn't call it the new trend when there are like 10 Action/Adventure Isekai coming for every SoL Isekai. I think and hope it will stay the niche as always. |

Now that you mention it you are right trend may kick off in 2012 but truly feels like reach start of the peak in mid 2016s or early 2017s after that we do getting many isekais in a single season and looking at atleast spring 2023 seems like its staying that way. |

For your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And honour your parents. If one or both of them reach old age in your care, never say to them ˹even˺ ‘ugh,’ nor yell at them. Rather, address them respectfully. And be humble with them out of mercy, and pray, “My Lord! Be merciful to them as they raised me when I was young.” (Holy Quran 17:23-24). |
| Can we move on from isekai already guys? We've exhausted every possibility |

Crow_Black said: you sure can say that againaw shit here we go again seriously tho, if this industry is somehow gonna go adapt more isekai, why not go for some of the older shoujo ones with dedicated fanbases? like how are they gonna continue this trend and still pretend that Red River and From Far Away don't exist??? |

These great mangas weren't adapted into anime series, I am very surprised. |

| That future anime movie trend anitubers speak of is starting to become better as the isekai keep coming, even if means waiting a week to 9 months for the movies to come out on BD or the seven seas. |

Yeah this I understand, but I'm surprised Japan hasn't had enough of isekai yet, it's been a couple years now.. Japan IS tired of isekai, and has been since 2014-2015, before overseas audiences even started complaining so much about isekai. The people that aren't tired of them are the production committees and shareholders. |

Dude ... the coincidence just seeing Bloom into yous Manga page in mal when i got this Notification LMAO It's a sign! And if without jokes, then this is how it usually works. You get a hit one season and then the next year everyone copies it. Remember how after AoT everyone started making shows about fighting monsters. |

"Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| Yet whenever you go to r/light novels Half of the titles are isekais in top weekly sales unironically :V |
How will this man grow from now on? Not even the author themselves knows. Now that I fucking believe. When was the last time any LN author ever took the time to actually plan a story out? |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
Pietru said: Can we move on from isekai already guys? We've exhausted every possibility I hang out in the LN community and monitor Japan LN sites. Romcoms are slowly replacing isekais. Penalty games, girl spoiling boys, etc. AnimeFA78N said: Better than villainess genre or Gender Bender Gender :V (no disrespect to those who enjoy them) Villainess genre is becoming rare? I think? Other than Tearmoon Empire, don't remember any big ones? For Gender Bender, the next big one is Reborn To Master The Blade, has a parody-sue protagonist. There is a gag character one. https://j-novel.club/series/did-i-seriously-just-get-reincarnated-as-my-gag-character There are 2 new Gender Benders in HJ Bunko this month (Astral Online and Nia Liston). https://firecross.jp/hjbunko/latest Oh yeah, there is an isekai where the protagonist reincarnated as an apple: https://j-novel.club/series/reincarnated-as-an-apple |

NewestPersonHere said: Romcoms are slowly replacing isekais. Penalty games, girl spoiling boys, etc. Thank god for that if it's the case; isekai has just gone too far to try and make something original at this point, in which just results it in turning out really lackluster.. |

| Romcoms are in not in better state either in LNs...... quality wise NewestPersonHere said: Romcoms are everywhere nowadays, I am guessing it will outnumber isekai in this decade? Probably make sense out popularing isekai? yep totally can see that Out popularing Action genre as a whole? dont think so given how pretty have every most popular ones are well action since beginning |
| Better than romcoms I want more seinen adaptations, really serious works. |

Don't remember people hyping the other romcoms~ Action will remain relevant. There are a ton of non-isekai fantasy LNs. A lot of them with 'strongest' or 'hero' in the title. Memore said: Better than romcoms I want more seinen adaptations, really serious works. You can consider picking up Reign Of The Seven Spellblades. It is written by the same guy who wrote Alderamin. A lot of people has been hyping Torture Princess too~ These 2 LNs are as dark as Berserk~ |
