If he had been from earth and reincarnated there, the story would be no different outside of his potential ties with ~~zues~~ that don't really matter. Granted it's been quite a few years since I saw the first season but theres plenty of times I forget it's not an isekai. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) <cite>YoukaiSlayer posted [p:951217822] in Anime, Man...

Given that isekai is seemingly both trope and genre, I'm not sure I necessarily agree with that assessment (or possibly I'm not following the train of thought).

YoukaiSlayer 03/02/21 4:28:19 PM #311:	Yeah although theres definitely some things that are a grey area like inuyasha where technically kagome stays in japan the whole series but when she travels through the well she is effectively in another world. Same with trapped in a game stories. The game world is another world but the person still exists in modern day japan. I'm not sure finding an exact distinction really matters though. Narritively, it's pretty much used in 2 ways. One, to allow a relatable protagonist to experience a different world and have an excuse to explain the world to the viewer by explaining it to the protagonist. Thats why I feel like DanMachi might as well be isekai even though it isn't. The other way is to have a protagonist with basically impossible knowledge of the world. This is where you get characters using status screens being genre saavy. Something like spider from this season is very much this way and really plays up knowing that it's basically a game world. They aren't mutually exclusive either. In fact I'd say usually the protag has some basically cheat knowledge but still has to learn most of how the world works. Something like jobless reincarnation fits here pretty well. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) <cite>YoukaiSlayer posted [p:951263192] in Anime, Man...

I'm talking like a couple millennia, where the technology and culture is so different it might as well be an alien planet. Probably depends on the handling. If it's a completely different world, you'd have a stronger argument than if it was something clearly connected to the modern day (going either forward or back). Plus a lot of time-travel stories involve frequent back & forth, which kinda doesn't fit the whole isekai theme. YoukaiSlayer posted...

I'm not sure how significant the "how" might be. While perhaps the most popular explanation for appearing in the new world is reincarnation, there are several prominent series which completely buck that trend -- Shield Hero and Overlord (although there might be a theory that Ainz died in the real world?), for instance.

YoukaiSlayer 03/03/21 3:52:06 PM #327:	I mean, I guess it's mental illness. It was a psychological horror thing. Anyway, she posted a message to her youtube as well. Apparently the latest of the videos had the two bodies fused at the head with 3 eyes and that was just too much for little baby viewers that complained and so hololive forced her to private all the related videos which was like a month of her work. She is now on a break. It's unclear if she decided to go on break or if she effectively got suspended. Considering they have managers and stuff I feel like this is a fairly big failure on Hololive's part. They were presumably OKing the videos she put out so to effectively ban them after she's been doing this for over a month is pretty lame. Reminds me of when they fucked up negotiating rights and like 90% of all the archived footage had to be deleted from all the girls channels. Unrelated to that, I have surgery scheduled for monday at 9:15. The surgery itself is simple and relatively safe (gallbladder removal) but with my condition I'm quite afraid of being put under general anesthesia. I'm honestly pretty terrified. It's entirely possible I die from it. On the other hand, it has the potential to help me digest food which could make a huge improvement in my health. I haven't really updated in a while but I'm at about 117 lbs (6 feet tall). Been roughly that weight since I almost died in late September from untyped hepatitis (very nearly had liver failure). A lot of my labs actually look quite a bit better than they have in over a year. I can't really bring myself to get my hopes up very high after so many disappointments but it's possible this hell is almost over. I just wanna be able to eat and play video games and watch anime again. I'll probably actually just make a topic about the surgery. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) <cite>YoukaiSlayer posted [p:951299613] in Anime, Man...

The surgery itself is simple and relatively safe (gallbladder removal) but with my condition I'm quite afraid of being put under general anesthesia. I'm honestly pretty terrified. It's entirely possible I die from it. On the other hand, it has the potential to help me digest food which could make a huge improvement in my health. You can do it! Personally I would be more worried about not using anesthesia because it would suck getting cut open and feel everything.

YoukaiSlayer 03/05/21 2:46:50 PM #343:	Theres some free unity based software that can track face and hands that works with any webcame that seemed to work surprisingly well. I saw a video on it. While you could probably find some kind of placeholder model, I doubt you'd succeed without a some custom made model that would also need to be rigged of course. Getting a model is the current barrier to entry. Paying someone to make one can be fairly expensive. Of course, you also need a PC capable of streaming, running whatever vtuber software you use, and running whatever you games you intend to play at the same time. That's not like a crazy high barrier but I don't think my PC could handle it. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) <cite>YoukaiSlayer posted [p:951378637] in Anime, Man...

This latest episode basically confirmed that they aren't and it's entirely possible the female demon lord with string is main girl 15 years in the future. I mean, it makes sense. All the other people seemed to reincarnate at the same time since they are the same age so why wouldn't main girl also have reincarnated that 15 or so years ago?.
