  • Right? It’s also comically villainous. Like being evil just for the sake of being evil. They could’ve teased it a bit more and done a Soylent Green… “Soylent Aether… is PEOPLE!” Then again, calling it the “Immortal Reactor” was already a huge hint. I had pretty much figured out they were using immortals as energy just from the name so the exposition wasn’t a huge shock.

    The massive juxtaposition though… like it’s a bit wacky with the whole “I’m going to be a streamer” thing (which I thought was awesome) then this.






  • Overall, probably Slime Isekai. It’s got a good mix of wholesomeness, action, comedy, and world building. And it has just the right amount of OP in the MC.

    Overlord is a good runner up. Great character development, good story and humor, intriguing world, etc.

    Mushoku is easy top 5 but the bullying and horny drop it down a few notches for me.

    Konosuba is also top 5. It nails the parody.

    For non-anime, Reincarnated as a Sword is my favorite isekai light novel series, not that I’ve read all that many isekai light novels. However the anime adaptation was mediocre at best. It barely touches on the deep world creation and character development found in the LN.

    For video game isekai, Shangri-La Frontier. No trapped in a video game nonsense. No completely unrealistic game mechanics. The game feels like it could be a real game. And the MC is OP only in the sense that they’re good at games, not because of cheats.

    Villainess isekai is practically it’s own thing now and I have my favorites there as well but the classic is All Routes Lead to Doom.

    I really love isekai so I could keep going but I’ll stop here before I start talking about Trapped in a Dating Sim.







  • Did you just pull a “No I’m not, you are!”

    Dude, wow… just, wow.

    Dont lie. You would never have considered my point. Because you’re more concerned about being “right” than actually changing your viewpoint.

    Ive presented straight up facts. Also note that you didn’t even refute my argument. You are not a black person. Ask yourself how I could know this. Then try to understand how little of your own thoughts are actually yours.

    Maybe if you do that you’ll learn to deprogram yourself. But hey, I get it. It’s easier to blame other people for your shortcomings.

    I won’t respond any more to any further arguments on your part.



  • Sword fight? Fanning at each other, crossing and smacking swords. Maybe even walking around each other. I don’t think that’s how a real sword fight would look.

    In real life most sword fights would be over in seconds with no more than three moves. BUT obviously that’s not very visually appealing so we get insane sword clashes with lots of unnecessary movement and the infamous “sword lock” where the swordsmen needlessly press into each other for that dramatic tension despite that being something that is never, ever done.

    Interestingly enough, one of the BEST sword fights in cinema is in The Princess Bride. It manages to be dynamic and engaging and lengthy without giving into a lot of bad swordfighting tropes. This is a great rundown of the scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0rkUbrPo3k
