Cross-posted from “What’s up with the isekai genre? Are there any good isekais out there?” by @Yingwu@lemmy.dbzer0.com in !manga@ani.social

It seems like every manga or anime adaption nowadays are isekais with absurdly long titles. As someone who hasn’t read that much manga for the past few years but just started again, it’s kinda crazy to see all these pop up. Are there actually any good ones out there? Or are most of them just “guilty pleasures”? The only one I’ve been reading is Ascendance of a Bookworm which is kinda interesting.

    Or even further back:

    • GoShogun The Time Etranger - A weird abstract 1 shot OAV with the characters from the GoShogun combination mecha TV show. This was one of my favorites from the 80s.
    • Leda: The Fantastic Adventure of Yohko - A fun 1 shot OAV from the 80s, with fun direction, characters and mecha designs.
    • Aura Battler Dunbine TV show - With its great insectoid mecha, by Yoshiyuki “Gundam” Tomino
    • Super Dimension Century Orguss TV show - less clearly isekai, but it’s fun work by the crew who did Macross: Noboru Ishiguro, Yasumi Mikamoto, character designer Haruhiko Mikimoto.
