Besides the conspicuous proliferation of isekai works I've also notice there has been less cyberpunk stuff
I wonder if the two trends are related
Like people are becoming anxious of the future and want to escape into an idealized fantasized past.
By past I mean technologically
The world's they go to tend to have lower technological development, almost as if its technology people are trying to get away from.
Am I reading too much into this?
What do you think?

its just FOTM, and it'll change to something else sooner or later

I use to think that but the isekai fad has clung for so long im not sure we can call it a fad anymore.
its just that isekai can be put onto any existing story. someone even did it with yamcha from dragonball. in most isekai stories the fact that MC is from another world stops being relevant past the very beginning of the story.
I'm not trying to blame anyone or criticize just because I'm also guilty of this, but I think it's pretty obvious that isekai panders to suicidal depression.
Actually, no. Notice how isekai in recent years involved game mechanics, being isekaid into a game world etc.
So does that fox loli thing
theres a lot of different anime that pander to that though, its nothing new. rozen maiden, NHK, evangelion etc.
I wonder if we'd get Infinite Dendrogram-style neural-network content-generation-based MMOs in our lifetime.

Was nhk critical of it?
