Finding a single girlfriend is something that could only happen to most goons in a fantasy world, so yeah, I'd say that qualifies as an isekai.

KirbyKhan posted:I'm thinking about the Isekai called The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You 100 Girlfriends is...... complicated. It does have some ick elements that make it hard to recommend, although the majority of goons who read the manga seem to love it and I think it's won awards. I haven't watched the anime and I've only read a handful of the later chapters of the manga, so I can't really give a firm assessment of it beyond that. The humor in the parts I have read punches above its weight class, though. Kit Walker posted:Yeah I've heard good things even from people who otherwise don't really care for harem shows.

galagazombie posted:Grimgar was basically about a group of isekai teens who find out killing even a single goblin is a lot of hard traumatizing work that doesn’t really pay enough to cover equipment maintenance costs. Lots of time spent doing laundry by hand with their rapidly disintegrating sole set of clothes that they have no money to replace. They live in an uninsulated barn with no plumbing sleeping on straw. Maybe things change in the LN but the whole show is basically about them being trapped in a failure spiral. By like the fifth or sixth book they're more-or-less established as a party and generally above average. I forget if the second party member death occurs during the anime or not (I didn't actually watch most of the anime, just read some of the books some years back). The obnoxious Dark Knight guy is somewhat compelling as "a guy who is hosed up" and basically acts out inappropriately and drives people away for reasons that are likely tied to his past Earth life in some way. There's some plot elements that revolve around the characters having lost memories of their Earth lives, like this one thing where the protagonist recognizes some girl in another party who was his best friend in his past life, but he remembers no details. IIRC I think she dies or something without him ever figuring out their connection lol

the anime ends with them being capable of taking down a whole town full of goblins. Grimgar is really interesting for how seriously it takes the whole premise, but it has a plodding pace that focuses on the party’s self improvement and there’s nothing to really hook an audience’s interest like the plot hook of rescuing Falin in Dungeon Meshi. it’s kind of just a story about jobbers with dimensional amnesia learning how to become effective pest control. grimgar is more interested in capturing the weight and terror of combat or the relief of a warm meal and a hot bath after being overworked and sweaty from fighting critters all day, than it is in telling a story. it never quite becomes a whole being greater than the sum of its parts, but the parts are really well done. it’s a great contrast for how cheap and poorly thought out other isekai is by comparison.

Yeah. I checked out some of the later books and the pace keeps being plodding but also it's more a standard isekai thing by this point so I dropped it. Really liked the ainme though

I'm giving Mashle a shot since the 2nd OP is blowing everyone's minds right now and it made me pay attention to it. Is the whole thing just the same joke over and over? I'm 3 episodes in and the whole thing just strikes me as "What if One Punch Man was boring?"

Sorta related to that, I've been watching My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered and it's...kinda fun? The premise is essentially an isekai where the protagonist's whole class gets given special abilities and there's sort of a behind the scenes death game thing going on. The protagonist actually already had the power to instantly kill anyone, including doing it reflexively if someone directs a killing intent at him, and so he's sort of outside of the framework of the system. What sets it apart is that it's not really a power fantasy, it's more like a really dark comedy where the heroine is dragging around this veritable force of nature while an endless train of scumbags show up to talk about how badass they are and then unceremoniously drop dead on the spot. The whole thing feels like a parody but I can't even put my finger on what it's a parody of. It's sort of one note but the setting is full of so many absolute dipshits that it never really wears out its welcome. I wanna clarify that it's not really a good show at all, but it's stupid and funny in a way that's still entertaining if trashy so if that's up your alley then turn your brain off and check it out

The general joke of 'Mash is literally recreating physics defying magical events with just raw fitness' is a core theme of the entire work, yeah, so if you stop laughing at the absurdity you'll stop having fun with it real fast.

Which is fine because it's not really a show that has anything flashy happen in it. It's a mid-tier show with a mid-tier production behind it and it'll be hit or miss for that reason

It makes the mistake a lot of anime comedies do, which is to think coming up with an amusing premise ("What if Saitama had to use being buff to fake his way through Hogwarts?") is a substitute for having actual jokes. It's a pretty bad case of that too, I don't really see what anyone got out of it.

“Superman is bored because he’s too OP” was a good joke that even One Punch Man could only wring a single season out of before it got stale. I don’t know why anyone would want to watch “The same joke but without the novelty and with less budget.” Yet here we are with multiple ones including OPM itself. Like self-aware Isekai “parodies” the joke is metastasizing into a sub genre.

OPM gets better the less it tries to be a comedy. Exploring the extremely hosed up hero society and the freaks that inhabit it is the best part of the original webcomic.

There should be more buff wizards in fiction. You only need to work out like 3-4 hours a weeks to get pretty ripped if you're consistent about it. That's plenty of time left to ponder orbs and study spellbooks
