I thought Lazudark was supposed to be Obsydia lol

I can’t be the only one that thinks a “french fries association” associating itself with obesity is kind of crazy, right? You’d think they would’ve thought this through better…

Gainax still existed? I thought they had closed down years ago.

I mean, if you watched the movie then you’ve experienced the manga minus the filler. It’ll be interesting to see an adaptation truer to the tone of the manga though.

For real though, isekai for me is like an instant pass nowadays. I don’t mind fantasy anime, but the “hurr durr I’m a highschool loser that died and woke up in an MMO world” has to be the most creatively bankrupt genre of modern anime/manga and I really don’t understand the appeal, especially when 90% of them are just variations of generic Dragon Quest tropes. You can make escapist fiction without having to resort to beating a dead horse that has been dead, buried and decomposed for at least a decade now.

And now that I think about it, do these isekai animes and mangas even sell that well to justify making so many of them? There’s no way Japanese audiences aren’t also getting sick of them to at least some extent despite how many of these still keep getting made.

He further criticized modern anime for incorporating game-like elements without logical in-universe explanations.

“Recent anime works will show things like a level-up gauge that appears when characters tap the air, even though there’s no in-setting reason for them to have a personal interface like that. I may just be getting old, but it really makes me wonder: ‘What is going on here?’ It just doesn’t work for me.“

I couldn’t agree more. It just goes to show how little thought and care is put into the setting and world building of these shows, there’s no craft behind most of these, they’re just following trends it feels like.

“Secondly, we do not want pages on works that depict sexual activity” between younger characters.

That description has red flags all over it.

Methinks they are not very good at this promotional thing in the Internet age. Definitely not the Oshi no Ko channel in terms of marketing prowess.

That’s not that uncommon all things considered, PR doesn’t seem to be the forte of most Japanese companies. Too corporate and protective of their assets to a fault.

Weird to say the least… But if people simping for the vtuber means we’ll get the whole thing adapted, then be my guest.

Huh. Kentaro Miura also passed away rather young considering the life expectancy in Japan, I wonder if it’s the stress or something doing these people in. Anyways, my condolences to the family and friends.

So she’s perfect is what you’re saying.

I hope so, from my understanding the book series was finished some years ago so there’s no reason not to adapt the whole thing unless they want to be pricks about it.

This is the first anime I’ve been excited for in well over a decade. I hope they finish the story this time.

What an absolutely unfortunate name for an Anime…

As an introvert, I hate people like that.

No Ronald? Pass.

due to his status as an omega

Oh boy, it’s one of those,

… Alright you’ve got my attention.

The whole isekai (and by extension generic anime fantasy) genre is absolutely saturated to the brim. It’s all the same premise and characters and story beats over and over and over and over again… I can’t imagine Japanese audiences aren’t also sharing the same sentiment, especially when every season there’s at least 3 or 4 shows of this kind, not to mention the endless numbers of mangas and light novels as well. The sheer lack of creativity is astounding.
