| A common complaint I have about the first Fate/stay night is how it breaks it's own rules without ever showing them working the first time. I now realize it is this way because, at the time, people would be acquainted with how a battle royale worked from watching stuff like the homonym movie or Kamen Rider Ryuki. I've also been thinking how much of tech illiteracy in the newer generations comes from the fact that they never had contact with the concrete thing that computers are abstracting: Never had contact with a paper file or an actual directory, and what's the save icon even supposed to be? So I've been thinking: What about anime? Are people watching their 10th "Kicked from the hero's party" ever watched an anime with a functional hero's party? An anime with a wacky premise for an isekai, have they watched a "normal" isekai? For those who watched an isekai, have they watched a "normal" fantasy? You might tell me they're able to "reverse engineer" how the original is supposed to be from that, but can they really? Throughout the story, I think that makes people imagine that the original is "generic and dumb", so people might be surprised that much of the jokes modern isekai has been making were made by Mahoujin Guruguru in the 80's... |
| I don't think so, Hirohiko Araki breaks his own world and stand rules all the time and it still works because of the strength of his writing. |
| no because there will always be people like thewiru around to remind us. |

They're probably all played Dragon Quest. The games remain popular in Japan. Dragon Quest is in fact generic, which is a large reason so many isekai anime are not good. |
