Wark Say posted:But what truly is Isekai, maaaaannnnn? Since the word 'Isekai' itself means 'Different World' then I suppose that the technical definition is 'anything set in another world'.

It's almost like genres are descriptors than hard definitions.

if a character from regular mundane Earth ends up in a setting that's not regular mundane Earth, it's isekai Planet of the Apes counts for the same reason Now and Then, Here and There counts- far-future hosed up Earth is not regular mundane Earth. Dr. Stone counts for this reason too, though the sheer number of people getting isekai'd makes it an oddball one (though there's precedent for this with, like, the 1632 books). FFX isn't isekai because the transportation is fantasy world -> fantasy world.

They were there, the entire time... aware(unless deciding to fall asleep.)... trapped in stone. Like would you call someone who in a sci-fi setting who takes a shuttle to the moon Isekai'ing?

You know in your heart that just because something meets the definition for isekai it may not be. And when i am mod i will punish all those who refuse to stop calling The Martian isekai

My definitions of Isekai are chaotic and uncomprehensible. Futurama is not an Isekai. Back to the Future is not an Isekai. Terminator is not an Isekai. Space Jam is an Isekai. Alice in Wonderland and the Wizard of Oz are Isekais. I think they only really count if they're more like 'another dimension than just another world. Week to week, I don't think Star Trek counts as an isekai, for example.

The first part of Neverending Story isnt isekai but the second part is. Mario the games are isekai but the movie isn't. These facts however are not chaotic or incomprehensible. They are clear and well reasoned. Nathilus fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Sep 9, 2019 |

If going to another world is the focus of the story, I consider it an Isekai. Sci-fi gets funky as there are more casual means of going between actual planets than in most fantasy setups. But stories like Cowboy Bebop aren't isekai, but John Carter goes to mars is an Isekai.

Nathilus posted:Mario the games are isekai but the movie isn't. You got these backwards. The brothers in the movie specifically travel to an alternate Earth. In the games, it's just another Tuesday in the Mushroom Kingdom. John Carter of Mars is an isekai. Probably the pre-manga paragon of isekai stories, in fact. The Lost World is NOT an isekai. Baron Munchausen is an isekai. Dante's Divine Comedy is an isekai. Lucian's True Story is an isekai. The Book of Revelation is an isekai.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is an isekai and I even named my character Maine because it kinda fits, but I can't make her look as close to Maine as I could in the first game, even with unlocked hairstyles...
