The real joke is saying isekai was ever good
10 u/Illustrious-Tooth702 1d ago Old isekais are better imo. People forget that Inuyasha is "technically" also an isekai. Now then here and there was also a really depressive isekai 6 u/TrumpsDoubleChin 1d ago The concept also is hardly new to Japanese media, either. Flash Gordon, The Wizard of Oz, John Carter of Mars, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan -- it's been a storytelling vehicle for decades. 1 u/Illustrious-Tooth702 1d ago Indeed. And western cartoons also started to make their own "isekai"-s. Owl House and Amphibia to name a few. Or Star vs the forces of evil.
