Yesssssss
I'm loving the new cgi anime shows alongside stuff like arcane 
All of them look awesome
And the stylization you can do with it is just as vast as 2D which gives everything a little extra flair from studio to studio
But orange definitely kicked it up a notch with this
From what I've seen of it at least
Still gotta actually watch the season 
But the movement looks fluid, the expressions extremely expressive, and the environments look dope af

I'm really enjoying it as a stand alone experience

I tend to lean more towards romance manga and webtoons rather than anime for some reason

vash looks cooler in the og
in the reboot he doesn't look that bad but he def looks submissive 💀

They def leaned hard into the crybaby aspect in stampede which didn’t exist before
When he cried in the og it had impact
Now it’s a gag

Old vash looks cool and badass, new vash looks sweet and friendly imo

True, I'd expect badass shit from old vash, and new vash seems way more pacifist with his design

Maximum is where it gets good apparently
surely because it's now in a seinen magazine 
spare isle
Probably
But it also apparently dives into the things the original manga/tv series never touched on
Stampede is kind of doing it with the plants and vash
obviously midland saga is better now than it was as a shounen
also i can't remember if vash even got the needlehead nickname in the original but it def makes more sense there than stampede lmao
they should have given him a topbun for wolfwood to roast relentlessly

basically, from what i can see, the manga got moved to a different section of the website and won't be serialized (for now) probably due to the mangaka's health
but the news is saying it like it's most likely getting cancelled forever
considering the willpower and love for the story the mangaka has, i doubt he'd give it up before dying 😭
maybe it's temporary since the magazine usually updates stories weekly
I'll focus on this part "-and transferred works."

My guess is that (without having read the manga for it if it has one) this is the arc where he ||renounces his will to fight|| but some time down the road, he'll probably be put into a situation where he feels ||forced to fight again to protect the things he cares about|| for some sort of emotional juxtaposition just like this season has been so far compared to the previous one lol
I will say, I did NOT expect this season to be so... Chill?
For the most part
Aside from short scenes like thorfinn ||getting slashed up by that one dude who needed to use him as bait for the son to kill and become a man||
Showing he isn't afraid of death in the slightest
shadow knot
farmland arc tends to inspire mixed feelings for fans from what I hear when it came to the manga
next crescent
Ooh okay
Understandable tbh considering what they started with
But also considering what they started with, I don't doubt it'll ramp back up eventually
Like the calm before the storm
I mean, we started with a child losing everything he cared about and being spurred on to survive by his hate for a single man, doing everything he was ever asked to become the best warrior he could just so he could kill him- trudging through hell and back to get to that goal
And now he's down to having nothing at all
Just kinda living day by day without an actual care for anything because he feels there's no reason for any emotion to show through
Feels like he got depressed when he lost absolutely everything but his own life then didn't care what happened to that life either until einarr came along
I like farming arc tbh
Shows how broken he's become since the first season
And now ||a goofy giant who's lost it all as well has come swooping in with determination a-plenty to show him life is still worth living||
I need me a real life einarr

Frieren doesn't really have much in common with isekai tbh, so not sure where you're getting that impression from.
If anything, the manga always gave me Journey of Elaina type vibes with its more detached storytelling/main character, and somewhat episodic arcs. Unless just being fantasy is enough to count as "isekai" nowadays lol
(Tbf though, there are fantasy shows that feel like isekais. I have to constantly remind myself that Danmachi isn't one lol. But never got that vibe from Frieren personally)

The story follows elven mage Frieren, a former member of the party of adventurers who defeated the Demon King and restored harmony to the world after a ten-years-quest. In the past, the heroic group included Frieren, human hero Himmel, dwarven warrior Eisen and human priest Heiter. Before they part, they observe the Era Meteors together, a meteor shower that occurs once in fifty years. Frieren agrees to see them again and offer them a better view the next time the celestial event occurs. Frieren then departs and travels the world in pursuit of magical knowledge.

I know you can see the typing icon...

You asked for examples, so I was typing those. If you don't want examples though, don't ask for people to name them 
spare isle
preferably without looking up the genre tag on mal and finding every title that might fit
next crescent
Chakku, rpg and fantasy are two different things
topaz linden
But to avoid a "wall of text that says nothing" as you so nicely phrased it, Dungeon Black Company would be the first that comes to mind. Guy gets reincarnated into a modern world (only fantasy part is nonhuman species), spends his days working up the corporate ladder.
That or The Devil is a Part Timer with its focus on the dude just living his life.
Cop Craft was a pretty good one too, doing a buddy cop style series with isekai elements.
spare isle
devil is a part timer is just reverse isekai
next crescent
And the reason why Isekai is usually fantasy is because of the escapism it can give to those who are bored of a normal life
Basically going after the kid in you who loved magic
And all those fantasy elements
spare isle
they still have the same demon king stuff it's just in a real setting as opposed to the other way round
next crescent
Or someone who just really enjoys the genre because it's away from normal life
Yes and that doesn't make it Isekai
Oh wait you mean devil
dull talon
"Yakuza Reincarnation" or Youjo Senki I think can be considered as isekai with fantasy elements with no RPG like elements but I'll have to look for isekai with no fantasy in my bookmarks

im glad we could establish 99.99% of titles in the 'genre' are shitty unoriginal cash cow series with zero effort put into their writing that exist solely for selling to the braindead light novel consuming masses and are just recycling the same formula over and over again with the most minor 'departure' from that being their respective selling point

Wow okay, yeah I get that you don't like the genre but I think it's a bit dismissive and rude to call all of it trash

spare isle
outside of the main cast travelling through different worlds to find their way back to their own it shares nothing in common with isekai series
next crescent
But Isekai IS the subgenre it is under
spare isle
i think claiming 'in another world' being the only aspect of an isekai just because it's the literal definition of it is cope

||tbh, I couldn't get into Sonny Boy. I appreciated what it was doing, but it's character writing and story telling direction just did nothing for me. So to each their own||
next crescent
It doesn't have to coincide with others of the subgenre to be shit
You can have gems in a group from a genre you dislike

obviously there are more aspects specific to isekai otherwise 99.9999% of the series under that subgenre wouldn't be exactly the same

spare isle
im not but when all he consumes is isekai he gets used to the spoonfed writing style and character writing
next crescent
a shame it wasn't in your face and written at the most basic, primary schooller ...
what do you mean????
spare isle
they leave no room for interpretation or any depth because they know their audience
topaz linden
Grade schooler attempt at insults aside, it reminded me of Monogatari, in the way of like "okay, this is a very bold artistic choice you're either going to love or despise". Like, the art and direction of it was great, but you have to really like that style of storytelling to enjoy it.
spare isle
that's why you have jake trying to write paragraphs about the depth of albedos character when she's incredibly one dimensional
sounds like his mind is stuck in a cage with the isekai label printed on it
next crescent
Bruh
spare isle
i dont think people despise monogatari for nisio's writing lol
i think they despise it for the mushoku tensei aspect
next crescent
Huh?
next crescent
Didn't monogatari get a show before mushoku?
topaz linden
Some do for that reason, I've seen that perspective in a few places.
But there's also the visual direction of it. The constant onscreen text and use of wordplay and the like makes it very exhausting to watch.
next crescent
Or are you talking manga
spare isle
im talking about the reason why you didnt like mt either kc
next crescent
I didn't watch monogatari
topaz linden
Some do for that reason, I've seen that perspective in a few places.
But there's...
Boolit and I were talking about it, and watching more than 2-3 episodes in a single sitting is exhausting to keep up with lol
spare isle
i said mt
spare isle
thats what im talking about
spare isle
monogatari is full of that
next crescent
But even then, I do respect it as a show and story tbh
spare isle
idk how monogatari would be exhausting to keep up with for boolit when he enjoyed tatami galaxy and that was undeniably exhausting to keep up with if only for how fast the narrator was speaking
you dont need to read the text on screen it's just shinbou being pseudo intellectual
spare isle
ok hikaru no ou is currently airing what is that a retelling of
also this was never answered i'm curious
next crescent
Haven't heard of hikaru
topaz linden
Found the conversation where it came up.
Basically boiled down to the fast pace of its dialogue, and how much it had.
Like, the playground episode was just a constant stream of dialogue, with a good amount of important information scattered into it.
dull talon
I've never heard of Hikaru no ou but I know Hikaru no go?
topaz linden
It's not a bad thing, but it's a lot more active of a process to watch an episode of that than a lot of shows
spare isle
I've never heard of Hikaru no ou but I know Hikaru no go?
it's literally airing now but im not surprised you wouldnt
doubt there was any mention of it from anitubers or reddit which seems to be where most people get their recommendations from
shadow knot
bro what is chakku cooking
next crescent
I get my recommendations from friends and servers
So didn't see anyone mention it anywhere
spare isle
yes and they all get it from anitubers or reddit
im not gonna go all the way into my tinfoil theory but it's still pretty watertight
dull talon
Righttt

I hear ost, I watch

I hear ost, I watch
Made in Abyss not winning best OST was a shame tbh

Made in Abyss not winning best OST was a shame tbh
who won instead?
shadow knot
aot?
topaz linden
for CR, yeh
tulip mason
theoretically could keiichi okabe win best ost for nier
spare isle
i hate normies so much its unreal
tulip mason
even though the ost is basically the game
tulip mason
i hate normies so much its unreal

monaca did the summer time render ost as well which is keiichi okabe's group

I should check the CR awards again I was content enough with edgerunners winning anyways
normally they fumble the bag imo but like that one I’m fine with
topaz linden
[Best OST]:
/r/anime's awards: Chainsaw Man (jury) / Bocchi the Rock! (public)
Crunchyroll: Attack on Titan Final Season Part 2
Anime Trending Awards: Bocchi the Rock!
topaz linden
I should check the CR awards again I was content enough with edgerunners winning...
it's like 90% Demon Slayer and AoT lol
shadow knot
bruh
spare isle
but why should cp be aoty when 'anime' is in the name of the award and the animation was ass
feel like that should be a consideration
topaz linden
https://i.redd.it/r96ax0ot15ma1.png This has the winners for the three award shows I listed
you can see just from the thumbnail CR's bias 
and Bocchi sweeping the reddit awards
shadow knot
I love how demon slayer and aot took majority only for cyberpunk to win
spare isle
im surprised it wasnt bleach
tulip mason
crunchyroll only picks shit it dubbed lmao
actually saying that
there's no way the nier anime could win. they probably can't dub it
tulip mason
i don't think they'll work with the VA for 9S anymore they hate unions too much
spare isle
nier shouldn't win just like cyberpunk because the animation is godawful
tulip mason
nier was always better off as a game but the music's lovely
spare isle
can only hope for drakengard remakes with actually decent combat this time
tulip mason
you know drakengard's technically an isekai right
actually
all of nier is technically an isekai
spare isle
it's not because that subgenre is only relevant to anime and light novels and ill be damned if that cancerous shit starts to get associated with good media
spare isle
he was an isekai protagonist before he even got isekai'd into tokyo
furiae
that is all
tulip mason
you can't be an isekai protagonist if you're not in another world
spare isle
you can if you wanna fuck your blood-related sister
tulip mason
but that doesn't make him an isekai protagonist
not until he isekais into tokyo
and furiae's not even in tokyo
spare isle
like i said there's more to isekai than just being in another world
otherwise we'd actually have variety in the genre
spare isle
im talking about the genre not the word
tulip mason
The genre is being in another world
Which Caim does very well
So he's an isekai protagonist
spare isle
most intelligent isekai fan
tulip mason
Yeah if Caim's an isekai protag I'm an isekai fan
Which he technically is. Because he is at least in a new world
For like
However long that ending rhythm game is
Technically Angelus is too
I also have a feeling Accord may also be. Because she's in Replicant in mention
If you think about it Drakennier is just one really long isekai.
tulip mason
It is!
spare isle
that's more respectable than isekai
tulip mason
It's also a visual novel.
And a farming simulator.
And an isekai.
And there's more I think
spare isle
cant wait to log back into replicant after so long and see my full bed of dead lunar tears
tulip mason
I kept trying to grow them but then I forgot I was trying to and they all kept dying
spare isle
jfc i said log in to replicant you really mindfucked me into nier being isekai
tulip mason
It is an isekai.
spare isle
and like every isekai its also an mmo
next crescent
Afaik, only shows like sword art online are actually mmo 
spare isle
sao, log horizon, accel world, .hack, overlord
next crescent
Are all of those shows based around being in a game world?
next crescent
Oh, always thought overlord was something non-game related
topaz linden
Nah, premise is the dude was playing an MMO on the last day it was running, and when the servers got shut down, he woke up in a new world with all his MMO stuff + MMO guild npcs.
Very much game-related
spare isle
i dont think he woke up in a new world
topaz linden
oh yeah, never actually fell unconcious
spare isle
he was waiting for the game to log him out when the servers shut down and they never did
topaz linden
my b
spare isle
its a vrmmo just like sao
topaz linden
Yeah, though vrmmo has always felt like a weird term for it
Cause it's less Oculus and more Matrix usually
spare isle
im surprised overlord is as old as it is considering how similar the beginning is to the end of ffxiv 1.0
next crescent
Nah, premise is the dude was playing an MMO on the last day it was running, and ...
Oooh okay thank you
spare isle
seemed like a reference to it
topaz linden
The publishing dates of some of the earlier shows are weird lol
Like Land of Leadale aired a few seasons back and felt trope-y af, but its original LN came out like... two years before other isekai took off (even predated SAO iirc)
spare isle
im not gonna go all the way into my tinfoil theory but it's still pretty waterti...
actually i lied houseki no kuni is a thorn in my side and a hole in this theory which i still can't figure out
topaz linden
Show's honestly an exception to things in a lot of ways lol, understandable
spare isle
its too abstract for normies to like it
and i know some shounen manga dudes who were like "why would you be surprised that we'd like it"
hell will freeze over twice before you convince me that a shounen fan would come across this and be like "yep this looks like something i'd read"
topaz linden
Kinda just came out of nowhere, did its thing, then poofed off the scene lol
spare isle
though the obvious answer is that one of the anitubers or reddit posters came across it accidentally and pushed it out to the masses
topaz linden
spare isle
which does hold with my theory
the orange adaptation was also an anomaly because people at the time still hated (and still kinda do) cgi
next crescent
I don't remember hearing of it from anyone on YouTube until years later
I saw mention of it because of the cgi
And how good the 3D animation was compared to what we'd usually see
topaz linden
It's the one exception people stop to make when shit talking cgi lol
spare isle
like i said you getting recs from servers and friends is just through the grapevine that came from that anituber or reddit community
spare isle
and this is why shows like kaina and hikaru no ou go by unnoticed
nobody takes 5mins to go through an upcoming season chart and pick out what they wanna watch
they just wait for the recs to come through
so the popular shit gets more popular
topaz linden
If I'm feeling like experimenting, the "recently updated" page does the trick usually lol
Cause sometimes its a seasonal I missed, or sometimes it's a show from 20 years ago that randomly got added/updated.
spare isle
also explains why people mostly have the same opinions on things and will 'concidentally' be reading the same source material for some upcoming popular show before it comes out
like blue lock
next crescent
I mean, people can have the same opinions on things with or without the recommendation
Sometimes I see stuff and all I see is the animation and nothing else, it's just used as background video for something, then I go looking for the show lol
Some gems, some absolutely abysmal stuff
But then my opinions become similar to others in many cases because we liked the same thing
topaz linden
Sports fans are honestly on another level lol. They remind me of Dragonball fans. They're technically part of the anime community, but they feel almost like they're at the periphery
next crescent
Like luo Xiao hei
Literally nobody told me about the movie, I saw the animation from a reel of good animated shows and movies and went searching for it
Then I found people who liked it as well
Or I was able to recommend it to others who want a cute movie to shut their brain off to
topaz linden
The movie for that had no right to be that high quality tbh
next crescent
Yeah
spare isle
Sometimes I see stuff and all I see is the animation and nothing else, it's just...
is there any remotely obscure anime you've found doing this
next crescent
The animation was so fluid
One sec because I can never fucking remember the name of it
This and something else
Assuming by "obscure" you mean shows that aren't as popular
Not necessarily that I like them but I found them through animation reels
topaz linden
They haven't made a new one in a year sadly, but Hobbes Sakuga's animation compilations introduced me to so many good shows
https://www.youtube.com/@HobbesSakuga/videos
Since they throw credits into the subtitles/description for every bit (including the episode)
next crescent
Found this one through animation reels as well because it had one decent scene but the movie is absolutely horrendous in my opinion lol
https://myanimelist.net/anime/38464/Ashita_Sekai_ga_Owaru_toshitemo
topaz linden
Not sure tbh. I tend to associate "anituber" with people that talk about/review shows
he's more of a fancy AMV/MAD maker lol
spare isle
I mean if we’re gonna go isekai is anything in another world route then anituber is any youtuber who makes anime content
topaz linden
Then I guess They tend to be a bit more varied than straight up review channels at least
next crescent
This also wasn't a recommendation from anyone anywhere and just me looking through stuff on the new page and wasn't... All that great
https://myanimelist.net/anime/41025/Fumetsu_no_Anata_e
I mean I like the premise
And will hope that season 2 expands on it
But the fact you knew everyone would die lol
topaz linden
First episode of that was a perfect adaption, but the rest was understandably hard to adapt
spare isle
That shit is super popular tho and not obscure at all
next crescent
because of the premise
Made it a little less impactful
Fumetsu?
I rarely see anyone talk about it at all
spare isle
Probably because people stopped caring when they realized it sucked
next crescent
I ended up being the one to show it to friends because none of them had heard of it lmao
spare isle
Didn’t s2 air like last season
topaz linden
yee
next crescent
Did it?
Ah okay
Watched this recently too
Just a boy trying to save his wolf
spare isle
Difference with anime is not everyone uses the same platform to watch it so you don’t get the Netflix effect where they will push a new series and then everyone is talking about it
But I think the way stuff like game of thrones grows massively popular shares that method loosely with my theory for anime
shadow knot
and this is why shows like kaina and hikaru no ou go by unnoticed
they look ass 
next crescent
This was also something I watched without being recommended because i wanted to watch a romance movie one day and it was hilariously stupid imo https://myanimelist.net/anime/38594/Kimi_to_Nami_ni_Noretara

TL;DR In-universe explanation iirc was: ||Anyone who didn't move on after death could move into a body if he made it for them. There's a dude who can see spirits who notices it first, but only tells the MC as a last resort to win a battle against the plant enemy things||.
It was kinda like the wack shit in the most recent Star Trek movie (the Khan reboot one): Cool in the moment (the reveal was actually kinda hype, ngl), but kinda fucks with the ability for anything to have stakes after that.

Oh yeah the main girl is Klee jp va so that’s also more Genshin brainrot for ya
Ed has some gorgeous visuals too with the mythology it draws inspiration from
hot notch
What happened here???
topaz linden
Imma just blame it on Ayaka socks
next crescent
true
blame ayaka socks
but the gist was:
isekai being called not isekai and non-isekai being called isekai for like an hour
sorry, went back and it was more like an hour and a half lol
hey liger, what constitutes as an isekai?
frank musk
basically just transportation to other worlds, most of the times new ones
spare isle
I’m inclined to believe isekai is a trope and not a genre
Think that defines it more accurately
next crescent
A literary trope is the use of figurative language, via word, phrase or an image, for artistic effect such as using a figure of speech. Keith and Lundburg describe a trope as, "a substitution of a word or phrase by a less literal word or phrase."
Isekai (Japanese: 異世界, transl. "different world" or "otherworld") is a genre of speculative fiction—both portal fantasy and science fiction are included. It includes novels, light novels, films, manga, anime and video games that revolve around a displaced person or people who are transported to and have to survive in another world, such as a fantasy world, virtual world, or parallel universe.
i mean, isekai literally means different world
not really figurative if the characters literally are in a different world
unless i'm misunderstanding what a trope is
sorry i should add the next sentence to the isekai one
i cut it off a little early
shadow knot
chakku means to say fantasy garbage and isekai = fantasy therefore its garbage
unless you’re cautious hero
he just like me fr
next crescent
nah, chakku was equating a fantasy show to being isekai even though the entire story has nothing to do with being in a new/unfamiliar world from the main cast's original one- which is what isekai is lol
spare isle
It’s a trope because it’s so specific
next crescent
that's how the whole thing started
spare isle
What other genre is that hyper specific that it leaves no room for variety
shadow knot
rom com maybe
spare isle
Not really anything could be a rom com
shadow knot
same with isekai
spare isle
Including a lot of isekai shows
shadow knot
jinx
next crescent
there are multiple genres that have specifics that make them unique to others lol
sci-fi is futuristic
fantasy is usually magical
historical is realistic and, well, historical
comedy is funny
romance is romantic
isekai is sent to a new world
like that's just the thing that makes the isekai genre different from others
it's just the worlds you usually see that are popular are fantasy ones like in video games lol
but it could realistically be anything from being sent to one of those mmos you mentioned with guilds and shit to being sent to an apocalyptic version of the mc's own world
it's a genre that can have a wide breadth of what the story can contain, as well as the world building, but most usually just revolve around being fantasy because that's what a lot of people may divulge in when going to their own "other world"
spare isle
Literally none of these are as specific and shoebox as isekai
If isekai is a broad genre why is literally every title under it the exact same series
I think trope better describes the fact that it’s more of a formula than a genre
I mean ‘trapped in another world’ is literally a trope so it’s really not that far fetched
next crescent
a recurrent theme within it
do most isekais constantly go to new worlds?
spare isle
Perhaps
next crescent
like the mc travels to one, then another, and another
frank musk
most of the times yes
next crescent
because most i've seen stay within the same world after the first
spare isle
That’s now how recurring is used in the context
Recurring as in that theme exists across different media
next crescent
it's used for all media ever and not within the (in this case) show itself?
spare isle
Not within the same one
next crescent
then that'd be the same for fantasy and anything else
sci-fi would be a trope because it's all science fiction
and you'd know it's science fiction because they all use fictional science
spare isle
But what is science fiction
next crescent
science fiction
next crescent
it's fictional science
spare isle
Isekai is incredibly specific
next crescent
isekai is one thing and that's being in another world
which is broad as hell
you could be in any world
spare isle
Ok give me the “in another world” definition for adventure, romance, comedy, sci fi
next crescent
as many worlds as you'd want
but most stories go in the rpg direction that you dislike so much lol
spare isle
Without using the word the genre is called
next crescent
what do you mean
spare isle
What is an adventure series
next crescent
an adventure series
spare isle
Define that without using the word adventure
spare isle
And every anime ever made is also slice of life
next crescent
spare isle
And if two characters are dating or married it’s a romance
next crescent
if you wanna look at it at that angle, yes
it's a slice of someone's life
they can be romantic all the time and i'd love it and think it's a romance
spare isle
None of this is giving credence to the idea that isekai is a genre tbh
People will claim shounen is one too
Until we get an actual variety of isekai shows it’s a stretch to call it a genre when they are all exactly the same like a trope would be
Tsundere is a trope not a genre and isekai is more akin to that than ‘romance’ or ‘sci/fi’
shadow knot
dismissing isekai as a genre is what you’re saying right im trynna backtrack for real
why not call it a subgenre of fantasy then
case closed
craggy mango
Damn you guys still not over yet 💀
next crescent
What is Isekai? Isekai is a subgenre of fantasy in which a character is suddenly transported from their world into a new or unfamiliar one. The western world is no stranger to this concept as it appears in well-known works of western literature such as Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Frank L. - New York Public Library
Isekai (Japanese: 異世界, transl. "different world" or "otherworld") is a genre of speculative fiction—both portal fantasy and science fiction are included. - Wikipedia
While the backlash against the genre's popularity is certainly notable, Isekai is still on top in terms of anime genres. - GameRant
Isekai is a subgenre of Japanese fantasy literature. The protagonist is an ordinary person who is transported to another world, summoned by magic, reincarnated as a different being, or indefinitely trapped inside a new universe. A group of people or an entire populace can also be transported into a new world. The new world must always be different from the protagonist’s homeworld. It can be ancient, magical, or futuristic. - MangaPlanet
Isekai is a story motif built with the metatextual as the cement to connect the building blocks of the narrative. The vast array of different titles that plant a trope-aware tracksuit wearing otaku in a JRPG-esque fantasy world are tiring to wade through, for sure, and even the ones that put a slight spin on the premise don't seem to be interested in much beyond common trope subversion. Isekai, and by extension, Narou-kei fiction is being suffocated by itself. I really have to ask. At this point, what is the point? - AnimeNewsNetwork
The last one being the first one i've seen not call isekai a genre and also hold the same opinions as you on the subject of isekai in general (outside of whether or not it's a genre)
topaz linden
Honestly, the whole thing just reminds me of Hank Green talking about how planets aren't real.

If isekai is a genre light novel should be a genre

Yeah I deny sonny boy being categorized as an isekai just because part of the narrative is exploring new worlds
They don’t use the character being in a new world as a plot device to explain everything

too much skill issue I only thought it as a sci fi

I don't think most of the VRMMO ones get labeled as isekai unless they actively get sent (all in, not just logged in)/trapped there
that's why SAO and Bofuri don't have the label on MAL
shadow knot
Nah you mfs aren’t even consistent with your logic of isekai
too much mental gymnastics
