    It’s so bizarre that despite me being a card carrying weeb, the only times I’ve seen Isekai done sort of well is in western animation: The Owl House and Futurama (for anyone looking for a more sci-fi flavor of the genre) come to mind.

    There are some Ghibli films, but I’m talking more about animated series here.

        Now I want to make an alignment chart about Isekai.

        There’s a scale between media purist and premise purist.

        So something like I reincarnated as a slime can be Isekai, or the fresh prince of bel-air is isekai.

        True but at least many of the shonen protagonist don't abuse their power like isekai do and have some moral code. Although several eat enough food to solve global hunger many times over. blob-no-thoughts

        TBH, it could be a great opportunity to dissect myths about early capitalism and show all the genocidal shit capitalists did for their capital.

      12 Kingdoms, Rayearth, Escaflowne, and El Hazard were decent Isekai from what I remember. They're all from the 90s/00s though.

      They still had trash Isekai in the 90s, like Those Who Hunt Elves. yikes
