I don't but I hate anime that rely on awful tropes like exploiting underage girls or the typical sister incest stuff (I would say brother-sister but this also applies to sister-sister)

I also find powerfantasy isekais boring

The Isekai thing is so fucking played out, Its possibly the laziest writing trope ever.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Funnily the only Isekai that was somewhat interesting and realistic "Drifters" still doesn't have a season 2. It's basically powerful and influential political figures and warriors from random time periods get transported into a medieval fantasy world after their death. All I want is to see is WW2 anime Hitler take over a fantasy kingdom and get killed by Ninjas, is that to much to ask for? It's realistic in the sense that the main characters are 10 minutes into a fantasy land with magic and beautiful nature and of course they're already started making guns and bombs.

I disagree. It can be made good. Good examples are Overlord and jobless reincarnation.

Just because it can be done well doesnt mean it isn't a shortcut around good writing for a LOT of these stories.

It hands the writer a blank cheque for exposition and worldbuilding because the main character needs to have everything explained to them or figure everything out and it excuses any form of set up as to the how and why the character is in this situation.
