| Is this your first isekai or something? |

I think if you aren’t enjoying something, it’s valid to drop it. It is what it is, don’t force yourself to indulge in something you don’t like. That being said, I’ll just add this picture here. The manga for some reason doesn’t have the parody tag, but regardless a main part of the comedy seems to be making fun of common isekai tropes. By of course playing into the tropes. If you don’t like that, that’s fine  |
| No. You don't like it, you don't watch it. Simple. |
CrunchyCrobat said: This is a parody, this is parodying the isekai genre, and you seem to be taking it too seriously, that's the problem, nothing else But seeing as you don't have much anime in your list, come back to this when you have watched way more isekai's, then you will actually appreciate the show That should have been way obvious when a fucking truck comes and rams over the MC in the first few minutes of the premiere during the double suicide scene. The MC's name is Osamu fucking Dazai. And cherry on top is the title of the anime "Isekai Shikkaku"/"No longer allowed in another world" which is a reference to one of Osamu Dazai's books "Ningen Shikkaku"/"No longer Human" |

| If you’re not enjoying it, drop it. No need to seek validation from or try to influence others. Personally it’s one of my favorite shows this season & I think it’s one of the funnier isekai parodies I’ve seen. |

| This shit is lame, his book is not a great read either. |
| It's called overthinking, not overreacting. Most of the time, it leads you to really weird thoughts, instead of the best conclusion. Wondering if something totally unimportant was wrong or not, is a symptom of it. |
| Does bro doesn't understand parody comedy? |
 |
| I dropped it too. It's not bad or unbearable, and I don't mind the comedy/parody aspects. It just doesn't have something compelling enough to keep me engaged for 12 episodes (~3 months). Maybe I'll give it another shot in the future if the feedback is overwhelmingly positive, but I highly doubt it. |

| OP, you're not going to get reasonable or even at least decent replies in here. The bottom of the barrel users in this site will patronize you and educate because you don't coomsume the trash they do and think it's normal for them (making you the weird one). Isekai trash plays the "iTs a pArODy aBoUt iSeKai" card so often that it just stops being a parody and it's just a shitposting anime with an isekai angle. These people need to understand that comedy and parodies aren't free of criticism and there needs to be some bigger narrative or message at the end of all this non sense, but a lot of these cheap vapor wave "isekai parodies" don't, because they are cheap to produce and quick to sell (it's the low hanging fruit). Just look at something like Family Guy that aired for literally years, it was so polarizing between hardcore fans and hard critics, but even even among the biggest fans plenty of people acknowledges that a lot of it's jokes either go to far or are just too stretched out but no one in my personal experience has played "oh it's a parody of something" and use it as some get out of jail card. WhiteForAReason said: The suicidal protagonist is portrayed as a wise and courageous antihero, everyone he meets is deeply fascinated by him, and he saves the day by taking action while everyone else looks on in amazement. I pretty much saw this coming since episode 1. It made me eyeroll so hard when some of the users in here said "oh this is such a refreshing isekai" when it does exactly as every other trash isekai does by making a powerful protag that will have loyal followers despite him not even caring about them. Like I said, don't expect good reasoning in here when it comes to dissecting garbage isekai. |
| Actually, the biggest flag OP should be careful with are replies that attack other opinions. Reading them would fuel your overthinking tendency to no end. |
| I am having so much fun with this show. I think each episodes is more delightful than the one before it so maybe give it another go. |
| I watched to episode 5 and also am considering dropping it. It is a parody but while it is entertaining enough, the jokes aren't making me laugh that much. I find the idea interesting with Dazai and everything. The main issue I see as someone(who is much more critical of the show) else pointed out is that the Isekai genre have so many bad ones that trying to parody the genre by going to the extreme on the tropes just won't work. But as others have said, it's hard for you to judge without watching other Isekais first. Normally when you parody a trope, you can invert viewer expectations or just turn it up to 11 so it's absolutely ridiculous to kind of make a statement. However the latter is already slowly becoming the standard of non-parody isekai. When normal isekai is already leaning super heavily onto these tropes, it's hard to parody them by trying to be even more ridiculous. Which is what i see the main failing of this show. Rather than making fun of the tropes, it feels like just another isekai in practice. The parody aspect is only obvious with the main character's motivation and lack of concern for everything else. Also despite being a parody, you need character development and a decent plot. The plot idea by episode 4-5 is pretty interesting but that's quite far in to start selling the show most of the time. It might end up good but with how it has started off, I wouldn't put my hopes up. Overall the ideas are there but the execution isn't really up to snuff I think. In this sense, it might be best to watch good Isekai and then watch this. You might enjoy it then because it plays on those tropes to a extreme degree relative to the more measured examples. But if you watch a lot of mediocre isekai, this might feel too similar to those to be funny as in practice they aren't too different and thus not enough for the parody to work. Konosuba is another parody but takes the inversion route. Where all the tropes appear but it never ends up how the viewer (or the main character for that matter) expects it to. IMO Konosuba is the far better parody and also maintains character development throughout the story, albeit its a slow burn development. Interactions are also more organic which helps the characters break out of their tropes. (not walking tropes) |
