Berserk of Gluttony is a current example. The isekai genre posits these videogame-esque worlds. So I like that other animes are now exploring them. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) I mean, Inuyasha exists. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tomi000@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Which is not an isekai, so... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Uh, the main character Kagome falls through a well into feudal era Japan and cannot get back.
