Not complaining because so far I have enjoyed watching most isekai, or reincarnation anime, and this one also seem like it could be fun, and cute, but...
What kind of stuff will even have to come around for them to stop making so much isekai? |

As someone who likes isekai I have to say, it gets to a point when there's too much. Sometimes I can't believe how many isekai novels/manga get adapted (still, sometimes there are animes which people consider isekai when they're just fantasy, excluding those still gives you a lot of isekais animated lately)

The lid to the abyss pit known as formerly self-published novels from sites like Narou turning commercial has already been opened for many years - and there is no way to get it closed. |

This kind of gives me Fantasy SpyxFamily vibes where it's a family of elite, powerful, individuals making their way in the world.
Could be cute! |

I'll be the first to say I'm pretty sick to death of any mention of isekai or RPG fantasy-set anime these days, but the premise for this does have the potential to be cute/sweet as others have pointed out. So cautiously optimistic.

The thing with isekai is that it's flexible enough to mix with almost any other genre. Fantasy? Sci-fi? Romance? It feels like isekai will never fully die. It's akin to the mecha and magical girls genres, which have entrenched themselves as immortal anime tropes, waxing and waning in popularity but never completely going away. And yes, there are isekai mecha and isekai magical girl stories (though I haven't seen the latter adapted as anime quite yet, feel free to disprove me). I've even seen fantasy stories that don't have isekai protagonists but do have isekai side characters and stuff getting isekai'd in and out is tied into the lore itself. |

It feels different from even those -- like it's something with an almost primal appeal. I think I remember hearing when my niece was little that her favorite genre of bedtime story was stories about herself meeting the Paw Patrol characters. Every fanfic space invents self-insert fic, and modern webnovel spaces are descended from fanfic spaces. I think it might be inevitable that in free, online amateur fiction-publishing platforms, stories about someone from a "normal" world being transported to a fantastical (yet familiar enough to be comfortable reading) world with some kind of exceptional advantage will become prevalent. Not universal, of course. Narou spawned The Apothecary Diaries and The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten, too. But I think as long as anime producers consider webnovel spaces a good source to tap for adaptations, the isekai glut will continue. So, blame Kadokawa I guess? (As for video game mechanics? Well, you see those in fanfic too. My explanation: A huge part of game design is about making a game satisfying, enjoyable, and convenient in ways real life isn't. In a social context where people play lots of video games, the fantasy of "wouldn't it be sweet if reality worked like a game?" therefore becomes similarly inevitable.) |
