anime

it was done because the easiest way to achieve the feeling of exploring a world from the vantage point of someone unaccustomed to it is to drop someone into another world

okay, but that is not an isekai

and trying to nail down an emerging genre is hard

that is its own thing, that isekai is a subset of

So wait does that mean that the one dungeon where I get stronger is native isekai

if you mean the hidden dungeon only I can enter

yes

by spookys definition I think it fits

i can't wait until you guys go up to heaven and find the holy scroll that defines what isekai actually means so we can know which one of you is right

I feel like I've seeen that one

oh

yeah

he has to grope women

big titty girl

to gain stat points

yep

I remember now

Only the right definition gets you to heaven

I just think this is an issue of pigeonholing too many things into one definition

maybe its the math nerd in me, but I think of all this shit (and all definition shit) and set theory

there isn't going to be a right answer because the meaning of the name has no practical significance

you can have terms that are just subsets of larger terms

with overlap

it's used to give people a reference on what something might be like

or more specifically to help with marketting

We have many modifiers that can be activated or deactivated to diversify our isekai setting

there's no other genre where you can write a story out of being in that genre as easily as you can an "isekai" just by defining the nature of the world change to be slightly different

sure, but if you call goblin slayer a native isekai, that tells me literally nothing

instead, that should change something from a pure isekai into a native isekai

other than maybe it has something to do with him being in a different world maybe idk

Goblin Slayer is so much more borderline

and to tell you why is a spoiler

lol

so it's hard

the anime is not an isekai at all

for the record

you're letting it get too confused

an anime is only what it is

I'll admit this Pika

despite arguing it all the time

Lmao

I feel very strongly about the genre

but Goblin Slayer is very borderline to me

So if Rusp were to import a character from Phjikchu table top in to there pathfinder game; would that be an isekai?

and I really want them to make a S2

so we can talk about it

because other than Death March, nothing compares to the metaphysical nature of that story

once it gets going

well have you seen school rumble

I guess my fundemental problem spooky, is I don't know exactly what set of traits puts something in the isekai camp for you

ignoring native/pure

isekai = when japan fantasy but also meta

Is space patrol luluco an isekai?

what does a show need to have to be an isekai of either sort

the whole engaging part of the genre to me, is having a character exposed to a world they are unaccustomed to

sure, that is a big part of it, but I would classify things that do not satisfy that as an isekai

and then the complexities of that world often directly correlate to how interesting the isekai is

I think it's an incomplete definition

I could definitely workshop the wording a bit

but that to me is the core feeling of an isekai

because I don't think a genre can exist based on plot elements, it needs to FEEL like that genre

what is that

my figure collection

the cult group

what is my figure collection

my anime list

but for figures

oh lol

Vinny was the impetus

Since he bought Rusp's waifu

vinny ordered gawr gura

vinny

.

@Phijkchu_Pikachu canada has elves?

lol

man, fuck this season of shield hero lmao

I just can't give a shit about this fucking turtle

I TOLD YOU
