Topic	i love isekai manga and anime
Entity13 12/28/20 11:18:04 PM #7:	Blightzkrieg posted... I don't even think Isekai as a modern anime genre is really the same thing as traditional "other world" stories. I've seen a lot of people argue that SAO isn't an Isekai in the traditional sense, despite being the inspiration for the surge in modern Isekai anime/manga. Something like Danmachi, despite not being an Isekai at all, feels like a very close cousin (one might say a non-blood-related step sister) to Isekai. Kind of like how "technically all comics and cartoons are manga and anime", but that's not what the term actually means in common discourse. Except .hack// did it too at the same time, and wasn't anywhere as horribly written for that matter. Log Horizon did it afterward, and then the whole thing snowballed. They're like early stage isekai in the way that Mannheim School was early stage Classical music. --- http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb179/EntityXIII/entityfn7.jpg <cite>Entity13 posted [p:948866447] in i love ise...
