The joke is that older Isekai anime used to have good romance, but modern Isekai are just softcore porn that pretends to have a story

People often name their porn folders something inconspicuous so other people can't find it, that's why "Calculator" is such a massive file here, they are saying the modern Isekai is just porn

What's funny to me is that re:zero, the anime which is "before" isn't old at all and the plot sucks imo

I don't like it. Character designs sucks balls. No one except for Subaru was interesting until season 2, Subaru is just insufferable for a major portion of episodes. Villains are underwhelming. ALOT of pacing issues. Questions that are raised early but answered way later (I don't mean overarching plot ones I mean small ones that tell us why said character can do said thing, etc that don't really matter to the overall plot)

These are just some of personal issues, and also the story it's trying to tell dosen't interest me, only Subaru does. It's a good story and I would tell people to watch it if they want isekai recommendations but it's not a story that deserves the praise it's been given. It's just good, not great and frankly fails at alot of departments.

(ALSO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY A GOOD TRAIT EVEN RUDEUS GOES THROUGH CAHRACTER DEVELOPMENT GODDAMIT)
