I'm going to give Villainess Level 99 a try. The manga was pretty cute.

Silver2195 posted:The whole death thing in isekai is weird (especially what it implies about the psychology of the assumed audience). Older portal fantasy didn’t need this; the protagonists walked through a magical doorway while exploring an old mansion, or fell asleep under a magical tree, or were transported by a magical storm, or astrally projected themselves to Mars somehow, or got spirited away in the middle of their daily lives. What does the death thing add, beyond tropes-for-the-sake-of-tropes? One explanation I’ve seen is that it prevents the protagonist from even trying to get back home; though I’m not sure why this is necessary either. They're Buddhist, op.

I gave Instant Death Ability a watch and my verdict is a tentative "meh." I've read and liked the manga, but I didn't see much to indicate that the anime is going to be a particularly good adaptation. Granted, the start of the story is probably the worst bit. I'll give the next couple of episodes a shot and see if it gets better.

I liked Undead Adventurer! It's nothing revolutionary, but the manga is solid and the anime executed well on it.

Watched Villainess Level 99. I liked it! The story isn't anything groundbreaking, and it's obviously a cheap production, but it's generally a solid adaptation of what I like from the manga. A real comfort food sort of show. (Anime spoiler) I appreciated the commitment to the initial fake-out, although they could have gone harder on the twist reveal.

Ok, episode 2 of Instant Death Ability throttled up the chaos way the hell up. I think I'm fully on board for this series now. Suffer not a catgirl.

Nitrousoxide posted:Hey, so, that Level 99 villainess anime is pretty good. It's very fun. It's got lot of the One Punch Man "I inadvertently got way too strong, and that's pretty awkward" vibe going for it, which is a fun thing to throw into an otome game parody.

The fun of Instant Death is watching a series of grandiose fantasy plots ping-pong off of each other for a bit before getting anticlimacticly dumpstered by a sleepy main character. It's a fun comic, generally. The anime is... fine? It's fine. It's a pretty flat adaptation that doesn't bring a ton to the table compared to the comic itself. I'll probably keep watching it, myself, just to see how it pans out.

Yeah, this has been a pretty good season for good-enough fantasy. Instant Death is a funny trainwreck, Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic is a refreshingly strait take, and Unwanted Undead Adventurer is a nice chill progression fantasy.

A couple of the gags in the latest Level 99 Villianess got a solid laugh out of me. They're doing a great job with the adaptation, especially considering that they clearly don't have a huge budget. Specifically what got me was Eleanora's sparkle bouncing off Yumiella's head with a cartoony "tink" sound, and the well-timed title drop giving poor Patrick the final twist of the knife.

Thankfully the CGI isn't carrying the show. It's bad, but it's acceptable.
