ianmacdo posted:It actually took a while for him to sleep with everyone , he stayed faithful to his 12 year old looking, (500 year old) vampire for longer than you would think. Yeah, to be fair Yue is actually acts the most mature mentally of the group, sometimes even more mature than Hajime in her decision making. But the authors reasoning behind Yue's appearance didn't help. Honestly, the series could've done better without Tio and Shea, which basically act as really poor (and disturbing) comedic relief.

surf rock posted:I'm generally not an isekai fan, so after the vending machine show experience I'd love to get a second opinion on these other shows that are in my watchlist to see if I should boot either of them: Sonny Boy is excellent and only resembles an "isekai" in that it vaguely involves "another world" (which is in no way any sort of standard fantasy world). If you liked Tatami Galaxy this has a similar vibe.

So wait the isekai killer didn't fight an evil vending machine, in that case why even bother?

There Was a Cute Girl in the Hero's Party, so I Tried Confessing to Her continues to be fun, and have a nice Isekai protag. TL;DR - Dude is Isekai'ed into a dungeon as a mid-boss. His cheat ability makes him stronger than the demon lord tho. A party clearing the dungeon keeps getting stuck on him, but he just knocks them out because he's got a huge crush on the healer. Finally he lets them pass and kill the demon lord on the condition she stays behind so he can confess to her (And immediately get shot down, as you'd imagine). Afterwards there's lots of wacky plots, lots of tropes about him being a major chuuni and being seriously inept at dating and the like. He rarely ends up fighting so his cheat isn't really brought up much, so the bulk of the conflict and plots are him trying to get closer to the girl he likes, and being a nice guy to those around him. It's rather wholesome and adorable even if there is an odd subplot about a gargoyle and a little girl who worships him as a guardian deity. khy fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Nov 7, 2023 |

Jackard posted:don't forget the instant death isekai!! good times If you just want to see dozens and dozens of confident isekai protagonists totally loving bite it, this is your story. Some slightly spoilery setup elements: In a world at the edge of possibility, crawling with weird wizard bullshit, a weird wizard has installed an isekai operating system and looks for new lieutenants by abducting people from realer worlds and severing their ties to reality to grant them power. Except in this latest batch, he's hooked the universe's garbage collection system, which incarnated as a human infant one day and was trained to an acceptable standard of human behavior and morality by the local equivalent of the Federal Bureau of Control. He lives a peaceful high school life, as long as no one tries to kill him. The problem is that he really only has two speeds, walk and kill. He doesn't do "satisfying fight scenes" or "chains of cause and effect"; if he wants someone to die, they die. The allure is mostly just in seeing three pages of isekai scratchpad show up, pose around, and then get incomprehensibly owned, either by the garbage collector himself, the people who struggle for power in the nearly impossible world, or the horrors the wizard sealed away for observation but which inevitably get freed.

I feel like ainz the undead mage is probably evil but the human mind controlling him isn't... though his physical body is influencing his mind and he doesn't really put on the brakes to stop evil poo poo going down so maybe he is evil. e: amoral might be a better word for it although maybe its that he values what he and his guild built over concepts of morality?

you know those romcoms where the entire supporting cast is hanging around in the background, silently urging the main couple to get together? that's what that story is, except the female lead is a 13 year old and the male lead is an adult.

I read the Instant Death manga. Much better than I expected. I like how the female lead charms the protagonist before the reverse happens (in the scene where she tells him that she considers herself responsible for the people he kills). I feel like this Consultant guy might end up being the first character to actually pose some sort of threat, since he managed to identify actual weaknesses. I'm kind of wondering what the deal is with the android(?) girl. She was owning her classmates, but it seems like this is solely because she's immune to the power seal. She received her power from the dragon, which isn't that strong by the standards of the setting, but it seems like the story is trying to do something with her.

Now that someone has filled the chapter gap for the instagib isekai, I really like the flashback story part. enju being part of some heavenly faction to trigger the eradication of humanity, her story ending seemingly tragically before he's just like "nah she's probably hanging out eating chips and watching TV lol". and the literal angels of heaven descending to wipe out mankind only for him to just go "all of you, die" and then the middle-manager of heaven arrives to beg forgiveness lol. I can't help but feel asaka is not long for this world, but also, he doesn't seem particularly devastated by loss and grief so she might also be just fine back on earth like enju. It's basically "More Proactive Isekai One Punch Man" and I can't wait to see it animated

    I could see this joke a thousand times and it will always make me smile. Also Mokomoko just casually off-screen taking out the two spirit royalty members. I'm reminded that she also casually just stopped the administrator downloading those cheat abilities into Tomochika as well. She's just busted in her own right

Captain Invictus posted:He can kill something beyond the bounds of spacetime without even realizing it. There is nothing he cannot kill except by choice The only limitation seems to be that he has to identify the target, but there are many abstract ways to do that. Also the weaknesses the Consultant guy identified, that hostages might work + he can't directly detect hostility to other people (but the target-identifying limitation seems like a limitation of mindset that he'll get past at some point).

I imagine that if Yogiri were to think, whether it's true or not, that someone like Tomochika had died. The idea of targeted death would evaporate and he'd probably become some walking field of instant death where everything around him just dies/stops functioning. Like peel back the layer of humanity containing whatever he is and the guy would become a blight upon the world he's on.

killing intent is just how yogiri defends himself. he's not limited to being reactive. also, there doesn't seem to be an upper limit on what he could kill. it's entirely possible he could kill a universe as easily as he kills anything else.

He has what? 3 people in the entire multiverse he can claim to legitimately care about and with the most recent one we met; he slaughtered the hosts of heaven itself purely because they put her in a bad situation. If any of those 3 people died as a result of someone targeting him I have no doubt whatever fury he unleashes is going to be beyond biblical.
