So mamy Isekai always put average Japanese salary man-slave or japanese neet as a protagonist and of course he comes from normal day japan. What about other nations and other type of people from other kind of universe. Like imagine isekai protag is from Poland or any other Slavic country.And imagine protag gets some really unique power (not just being insanepy good at magic) like imagine our slavic protag will either have unique type of "Aquamancy" where instead pf water he summons and controls vodka. Like imagine anime protag literally throwing vodkabolts or even summoning vodka tsunamis on his enemies. Or we can make it better. Get protag from older times instead of current times. Like let's say Pole but from Poland in 80s where everything is scarce and he had to learn art of DIY and improvising from avaliable stuff.This would be a very refreshing experience.
It happens in Dunbine, the first isekai
>why are japanese cartoons so japanese?Why do you have brain damage?
>>288150390He's not asking why it's japanese you dolt, he's asking why it's so repetitive and lacking in creativity
>>288150537Sorry OP but nobody wants to watch Poles
>>288150353why not just read isekai from other countries
>>288150622I'm not OP and I really don't think poland isekai was the point
>>288150353a slavic protag would just be happy he wasn't in eastern europe anymore
>>288150861You underestimate the slavic spiritHe is strongHe can be sad anywhere he goes
>>288150353There was an isekai about totally not Vladimir Putin
>>288150691/fred
>>288150691We read manga and japanese novels because we like the japanese style of storytelling
>>288150537It's honestly astounding how aggressively routine Japan can be sometimes. I know people are always going to copy success but I don't think I've ever seen it so brazen. They don't just try to cash in on a similar premise they do the same thing. It is the same exact show. It's basically just plagiarism at this point. You get the same dumb looking dark haired MC, the same basic character archetype harem, they don't even change up the way the idiot got isekai'd in the first place and all go to the same fucking Dragon Quest based setting with a fucking Demon Lord
>>288151306It is truly bizarre, given how aggressively Japan can also rebell against story telling formulas too
>>288150537He's literally whining that it is full of Japanese people instead of poles. Stop being a dishonest piece of shit.
>>288151270We read manga and japanese novels because we like the japanese style of big anime tiddies
>>288151356You are literally illiterate.
>>288151356Third grade reading level
>>288151341The Japanese haven't rebelled since the Boshin war.
>>288151429Did you miss half that sentence
>>288151448You're a dull boy, Billy.
>>288150691Adolf is looking really drippy
>>288150353I more surprised that there's barely any mention of australia in anime or manga media, aside from that pop team epic joke
>>288151593
>>288150353Other nations don't give a damn about that shit
>>288151401>>288151427>So mamy Isekai always put average Japanese>What about other nationsIf you're going to lie learn to do it better.
Isekai is a direct response to Japan's economic conditions in the same way that zombie media is in the west. Just like how zombies started off as a critique of mindless consumerism and turned into power fantasies about tearing down the system and social hierarchies where you could blow off Jay Leno's head for funsies and face no repercussions, Isekai is a response in a similar way where instead of trying to tear down the system they just seek to remove themselves from it. Isekai don't have some polish dude because it wouldn't really make sense in the lineage of the genre as what defines Isekai is a bit more specific than just "dude goes to another world".The reason most Isekai is so similar is because most syosetsu writers are would be game devs who really wanted to make their game idea, but found it too difficult to get into the gaming industry for whatever reason and turned to self publishing their story idea instead. It's why many Isekai focus on specific mechanics and kind of fall into sort of standard post-wizardry fantasy world building because the actual logistics are not what they're interested in fleshing out, it's the introduction of this new element they conjured up while reading other stories in a sort of "What if.." scenario.In a way, that's generally what separates Isekai authors and, by extension, a lot of modern anime from what we saw 40 years ago out of science fiction fans. They were more often more concerned with mechanics and logistics than the story itself sometimes. It's what gives you works like Dougram which can meander a lon for most of its runtime because they were more focused on the intricacies of maneuvering forces around agriculture and the like.
>>288151593according to my friend who works in the australian branch of a japanese company, they mostly think of Australia as just 'that place that exports high quality beef'
>>288151593It get destroyed in gundam

>>288151306you ever read an American YA novel? If you have, then you've read them all. Artistic laziness is rampant across all cultures and mediums.
>>288151993>nihon-siki romanizationexplode and die
>>288152159High fantasy in western literature was criticized for this very thing for decades up until really very recently. Now we're so relatively far removed from that backlash that you can get a Frieren and people act like it's a breath of fresh air because all they've known is Isekai because they've only really engaged with fantasy in anime and they're too young to remember how saturated the genre was.
>>288151931Call me stipid, don't call me a liar
>>288151931>and other type of people from other kind of universeyou are turbo retardedOP got fixated on his polack example, but he is just tired of isekai all having the tired old japenis herbivore HS boy or salary slave as the MCwhich is a very valid criticism, because even when the MC is a "chad" and fucks his harem of slaves or whatever, he always acts like the worst good boy beta during it
Isekai is trash. More news at 11.
>>288152159>Animorphs, His Dark Materials, and Goosebumps are all the same
>>288151993>that's generally what separates Isekai authors and, by extension, a lot of modern anime from what we saw 40 years ago out of science fiction fansdid you mean>that's generally what separates Isekai authors and what we saw 40 years ago out of science fiction fans from a lot of modern animebecause I can see a lot of similarities between the isekai you describe and old-school SF in the vein of "here's two boring characters discussing technology for 5 pages"
>>288151993false dichotomywhat you should actuslly be comparing, is authors of short form serially published stuff. ie your light novels and penny dreadfuls and stuff published in magazines. just loom at Heavy Metal magazine.
>>288152159YA doesn't even come close to the repetitively of isekai.
>>288150353Because they are pure comfort shows produced for depressed, overworked japanese salarymen who lack purpose in life. It's not an art where the author is trying express themselves. They are products aimed at a specific demographic because there's demand.
>>288150353There is a character in lord of the mysteries who is slavic, im not gonna say more since its spoiler territory
>>288153662I got in a rabbit hole of reading Otome Isekai because I ran out of things to read but after about 4-5 of them I had to give up on reading them because I couldn't tell them apart and mixed up the stories/characters.
>>288150353>slavicThen it wouldn't be Isekai, it would be Popadanchestvo
>>288152159I don't think there's THAT many Warrior Cats clones. There's Wings of Fire, Foxcraft... that's it.
>>288155572"Kenkyo, Kenjitsu o Motto ni Ikite Orimasu" is the best in Otome villainess genre. All other novels immediately disregard the premise and make it into harem, which is beyond lame.
>>288150353For the samrme reason burger movies feature burgers and rusky movies feature ruskies.>>288151593For the same reason burger movies never mention Kiribati or Tajikistan.
>>288150622Just the fact that "isekai" became a genre should give you the answer.
>>288156068>For the same reason burger movies never mention Kiribati or Tajikistan.Mexico would be a more apt analogy and burger movies and culture in general do reference Mexico
>>288156105C. S. Lewis and Lewis Carroll have a lot to answer for
>>288155739>Wings of FireI (very rapidly) flipped through the pages of a comic adaption of one of those onestalking talking talking talking talking talking single page of deadly violence talking talking talking
