All spoilers must be tagged!
Konosuba is the only decent isekai show, and it would be an even better show if they dropped the in-world video game mechanics.
Harry Potter is isekai. The Wings of Merlin by TA Baron is an isekai. Percy Jackson is an isekai.
The problem isn't the genre. The problem is that the metric became a target for cheapasses with no imagination who want that trend money.
This is the same shit that happens in every form of media when production becomes more accessible. Idiots pick up the fire and run with it.
I never expected to see T.A. Barron uplifted here and that's practically made my morning. The entire series of the Lost Years of Merlin deserved so much more adulation than it got.
The only good isekai is Minna Atsumare! Falcom Gakuen.
Joking (mostly) aside, i'm just sick of generic videogame style fantasy settings in anime. It's always the generic four member party with similar character designs and videogame mechanics.
Delicious in Dungeon is an example of one I sort of like for its shtick. The problem is, that seems to be all it has going for it. The dungeon design is terrible. It looks like it's cut straight from an old school first person dungeon crawler, which was the intention. Still looks like shit.
Generic fantasy videogame setting is just lazy shit. I do understand that there is other anime out there, but it's pretty much buried under piles of trash.
There's lots of good isekai. But like horror or many other genres really depends on what you like about the Isekai genre.
Delicious in Dungeon is okay but its also bad in its own way(I'm suddenly watching and enjoying it on Netflix about 8 episodes in)
It could be better.
Ascendence of a bookworm is worth it if someone wants an isekai that feels different.
I watched the one isekai with the vending machine. I have keep watching if it goes anywhere. Its 6/10, its interesting but not impactful in its storyline. Information was spitting out similar to doctor stone on the type of machines that exist in the world.
A good one that has some good storytelling was Grimgar, Aahes & Illusion. Talk about more realistic approach and pace for just 12 episodes.
