Remember when isekai was good?
Remember when isekai was good?
no.
A long time ago.
It was trash
isekai is and always will be trash.
Please. Isekai have been wish fulfillment trash since Dante.
Wish fulfillment isn't automatically bad
Best Isekai
But it is rarely good.
True
it's still good
Fuck off you autistic genre hater.
wrong image user
Yeah I just watched shield hero's new ep, so It's still fresh in my memory
Nope.
OP's pic is anything but wish fullfillment
>being surrounded with girls that love you
>best mecha pilot around
>average high school boy gets transported to a world filled with his hobby
>also can't even die
The setting being a fucking WH40k tier nightmare makes all your points moot
>muh arcade vidya skills makes me a top tier mech pilot in the war against aliens and all the girls love me
user...
Not every wish fulfillment fantasy is going to be continuously happy.
The world has gone to shit and the only one that can fix it is the MC because he is the best because he played so many video games and all girls love him.
It is a different type of fantasy to modern isekai but is still a fantasy none the less.
It appeals to those that feel they are wasting their life doing nothing important and want to matter be someone that matters.
This is the best and cutest isekai ever made.
To be fair, the guy's life was already wish fulfillment even before the isekai, with the super rich girl appearing out of nowhere wanting to marry you and stuff.
His life before the isekai was objectively better. That's why he wanted to go back.
>I'll use my superior vidya skills and become the best mecha pilot ever
How is it different from other trash?
More isekai series should be PTSD inducing.
Vidya skills that amounted to fucking nothing in a serious situation and had MC crap his pants and curl into a ball at the first sign he wasn't a Mary Sue.
I don't understand how you can call this wish fulfillment when he goes through so much. Is everything that doesn't end in utter despair and meaninglessness wish fulfillment?
People who call it wish fulfillment haven't read Alternative
It is wish fulfillment because it is about a regular high school guy, just like the intended audience, being transported from his regular daily life in our world to a new one were all of the sudden becoming super important and saving the world.
Since it is also a good story it isn't constantly jerking him off about how great he is and allows him to face adversity but it is still wish fulfillment.
He isn't super important. He's a "literally who" for 90% of the time.
He is super important since it is only thanks to him that they can save the world from the alien invaders.
>all of the sudden becoming super important
At no point in Unlimited is Takeru important. Even in Alternative he is far less important than, say, Kouzuki, Yuuhi, and the 00 Unit.
based retard
He is not only the guy that revolutionizes their mechs but he also is the only reason they can use 00 unit.
>guy that revolutionizes their mechs
Yep, still less important than those I named though.
>only reason they can use 00 unit
If they used a different human as the basis for it, they could use it just fine. Why Kouzuki insisted on using Sumika's brain I have no idea.
Muv Luv is not wish fulfillment, it's what would happen if wish fulfillment fantasies met with reality.
I think the ending to unlimited is much better than alternative's desu. Bittersweet.
They also needed Takeru's world traveling skills to even get 00 unit to even work.
That couldn't have been anybody.
>mc is a literal messenger boy between two different versions of the actual genius
>wish fulfilment
I don't think so. Considering Takeru is the main character he seriously doesn't get covered in glory in this series... just covered in pussy.
In that sense, yes, but never once he felt "important" and more than just a useful pawn. There's nothing glorified about his role and he gets no real recognition for what he's done.
t.brainlet
Fuck off you autistic genre hater.
>that full house
The point is that his existence is what saved the world.
Without him they all fuck off to space.
He got plenty of recognition from those around him.
YOU WANT AWESOME WARS AGAINST A HIVE MIND PENIS LOOKING MONSTERS? HAHAHAHAHA TOUGH LUCK HERE'S SOME HUMAN DRAMA FOR THE ENTIRE THING ALSO HAVE SOME RAPE AND NTR LOL
Also twizzlers.
>ALSO HAVE SOME RAPE AND NTR LOL
That was well done. It was portrayed as shameful and disgusting, which is what it is. It's only NTR if you're supposed to be aroused by the humiliation.
What show is this?
The VN series Muv Luv Extra, Muv Luv Unlimited, and Muv Luv Alternative
>That was well done.
No it wasn't, I wanted monster rape.
I fucking love Twizzlers. The classic and cherry kind at least, never tried any of the other flavors.
Remember when skintight bodysuits were a thing?
