  1. It’s been many years since the isekai boom began and it shows no signs of declining. Re:Zero and Mushoku Tensei have both been given what I can only describe as royal treatment in their adaptations, seeming to push beyond the norms of the typical light-novel-turned-anime. As long as their popularity continues, I don’t doubt the current trend will too.

    And why not? It’s an established genre and many classics—both in Western literature and Japanese media—were built around the idea of transference to another world.

    But this is not a post about whether their perceived market dominance is good or bad; this is a post about the works that bill themselves as isekai when in truth they really don’t need to be.
