>Do you miss the magic battle school harem anime adaptions that isekai has replaced?

No because those magic battle school harem shit hasn't gone away yet. They now just Incorporated isekai into their formula.

Oh please god no! Guess I'm praying for an eternity of isekai

Name one isekai show about a high school battle harem.

Unironically yes. There's something about that trashy subgenre that really resonated with me. I hate the characters, hate the story, but for some reasons still finish them becaue of the shitty power fantasy. I am even watching Kenja no Mago this season despite not even enjoying it.

Worst possible outcome.

Otome game villain isekai.

Hard to say. The problem is that the isekai genre offers so much enjoyment for escapists that it's hard to imagine what could supersede it.

space operas, probably

Dual wielding is the best.

yes. isekai is always blueball trash and highly censored.

at least with battle harems we had nudity.

Kenja no Mago

He said harem. Only one girl is in love with him.

Season 2 when?

As a Yea Forums regular I connect with isekai a lot more with their RPG and video game elements. School academy harems are just for smelly old incels who wishes to relive highschool again.

That's the one that killed the genre

I blame Hundred and Bahamut, actually. Hundred was run of the mill, Bahamut was straight painful to watch.

Hundred was mediocre, but I did like Bahamut. Only one of those is still alive. But Asterisk was a big bet with two cours from the beginning, and it flopped, along the other two from that season.

AMA was a miracle since it introduced me to the LN series.

Asterisk was so painful to watch, having the all powerful MC look and sound like such a faggot is boring
At least Ikki does shit and fucks his thicc redhead gf

I preferred the manga fights

Where are the isekai magic battle harem schools?

Sometimes, yeah.

This.

Yes. Even if most of them were shit they were still super fun most of the time. Isekai is not only boring but is also staying around for so much longer

Isekai magic battle school harems

I miss harems in general. I hate the lack of fanservice in current shows.

Native isekai

Or fanservice that doesn't go far enough. Missing nipples in scenes meant for fanservice is not acceptable.

You could at least make an argument for not showing nipples.
There is no reason not to show pantyshots.

For some situations, there isn't much argument for not showing nipples when so much else is already shown. But when they even unnaturally hide pantyshots in the BD I don't know why they even use those viewing angles.

Lowest point in the genre

I was horny and did a re-watch of Hundred yesterday and it made me remember that best girl Claire lost so no, fuck that shit. And fuck Japan and their shit taste.

A lot, if not most harem isekai ARE the new battle school harem, just in a different world. Many of them are better because it's quite common to see MC grow from baby or shota to teen to adulthood thus various stages of life in an academy.

Wasn't ZnT just your run-of-the-mill harem with fantasy elements sprinkled in.

It's more of a hotblooded shounen than harem as it progressed, then again Issei's dragon swag is so good that even guys are falling for him.

But AMA wasn't a magic school battle harem, it was an (anti)magic school battle harem.
All kidding aside, AMA's best parts came after they quit school so I wouldn't really call it a representative of the genre's strengths. They didn't even have a tournament arc!

Is Raildex not considered to be one of these? I never see anyone mentioning it in these threads.

Raildex has decent worldbuilding and isn't really trashy so I guess most people just give it a pass.

And still with generic story + boring ass MC.

Real shit taste is liking Houki

Incredible

It lacks a lot of the traits of battle academy harems, namely the schools not being meant for military education and the primary conflicts having little to do with the school themselves. On that note, I'm hoping for a resurgence of urban fantasy, or at least one of his other works getting an adaptation.

I don't need new ones, but I do want sequels to the above average ones.

Yes MCs in that meme actually had goals and at least pretended they didnt know they were super OP and gods gift to the world. Also they had tournaments which allowed side characters to occasionally do cool things, AND CLAUDIA FROM ASTERIX WAR CAN GET IT

I actually prefer MCs to not try to act like they aren't OP. It just leads to retarded false stakes and tension because you know the MC can do more, but for some reason the writers have to make them act like stuff that the audience knows is no problem is a danger. Feels retarded
If you're going to make your MC god mode, pretending that he isn't is retarded
Either dont' make your MC OP, or embrace the OP without pretending there's a threat where there's none

raildex is literally who tier at this point

Toku

Let me go back. It was the time where I read the source material even before the anime airs. Sometimes, the translation speed goes up during or after the anime adaption airs. Unlimited Fafnir got a crazy speed translation after it airs. But it was dead now, just 3 volumes short before the end.

Can they please fuck off with "game mechanics". I can only tolerate isekai if it doesn't involve anything like that.

I wish Antimagic animation goes brutal, not that lame original ending. Its is where everything starts going apeshit.
Imouto getting brutally killed in different ways, Haunted antics going even more crazy, that one time where Takeru and Haunted tried to help each other back to back but killed each other instead while destroying the magicians surrounding them, just some of the crazier stuff that was missed.

Now that I think about it, why hasn't card battle anime taken off yet? You can even easily splice in the harem and battle high school concepts in it too.

No, I hated them. But isekais aren't better.
What I dont understend is why isekais, despite being a sub-genre with so much possibilities, are almost always generic shit. It's like it went stagnant like so many other sub-genere after a long time, but completely skipping the part when it was fresh and experimental.

>It's putting a wizard or some other special snowflake in present day world,basically.
Oh, ok, thanks. Something like Re:Creators?
I thought it was some retarded way to indicate normal fantasy.

This post made me start thinking how all those harem series I watched years ago have ended. Stuff like Magikano, Amaenaideyo, Kage kara Mamoru, and dozens of other series I'm forgetting now.

I miss laura bodewig, and IS may as well have been magic

Asterisk and Rakudai having the same first 3 episodes was unironically the most fun I've had with anime in a long time.

I'd argue that while there's not much magic, instead we get swordplay AND a vague harem-esque battle high school with Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism. Good fun anime that has a halfway badass MC, and doesn't bloat itself with too many unimportant characters. Not 10/10 material, but it worked. If we could get another anime like that it would be swell.

Both are ass

>Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism
One of my personal top 3, along with Antimagic and Trinity Seven. I love it.

Unironically, shitty romcoms with a dash of CGDCT. Nothing to get excited about, but miles better than the isekai menace.

more stuff like loli fox mommy.
cute girls spoiling useless MC?

Kenja no mago even went ahead and the mc got a gf in less than one cour. Why do people miss magic high school harems?

Was there ever a good harem high school battle anime? Or even one in particular that stood out as the leader of the genre?

that one that was basically vampire porn

The school barely got an input in the characters and the world doesn't really seem to lock the characters into becoming a super soldier after their education. And Touma is just a normal high school student you can find anywhere.

Yes, but I also like isekai, so I'm still happy.

While the term is retarded and makes no sense, there are several series that fit on having rpg elements with no isekai so they should get their own name. Native Isekai is just a shitpost term though

A shame. There's not enough yuri gender bender in the world. Though, I don't like throwing in isekai or reincarnation into it.

I've never run into any outside of hentai?

genderbending yuri is shit though.
removes anything interesting about genderbending and makes it a generic lesbian story.

Whats interesting about it is seeing the male MC having to deal with having a cute girl body, not seeing him take dick.

I like it when the boy dealings with relationship, maybe a crush or a girlfriend already when he changed. It would be nice if I can see a preexisting couple with the boy getting TG'd and they have to deal with the changes and how their relationship will go on or not.

>Imagine a harem of transforming girls into weapons, and the MC being a weapon master

Yes. Unlike isekai, battle harem have better world building and heroine.

Not too many normies ever pick up the source material unless it's a shounen manga adaptation

>oh no they dislike it better call them secondaries

I hated them back then but the average battle harem was worlds better than the average isekai, so I want to go back.

Absolute Duo would've been a million times better if it wasn't a harem. I feel like the theme of the two being each others strength, protecting each other, etc was lost because of that. At most there should've been a love triangle.
