An I the only one who remembers Digimon, the og 90s Isekai?

[-] formergijoe@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Real OGs remember the Mark Twain's 1889 Isekai, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court."

I always felt like SAO was just .hack// but worse.

[-] Ryctre@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

First half had me so hyped. Like .hack with less filler. Then they had a digital baby and off the rails it went.

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm sorry what?! I thought I watched the whole series but I don't remember any babies!

[-] Esjee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The miniature girl they adopted (Yui)

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh wow totally forgot haha ty

SAO is only the best in the context of a great idea that was largely wasted in execution.

The abridged series is a substantially better execution than the original.

[-] Ryantific_theory@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I was gonna say, I haven't watched a ton of anime, but I started watching SAO once and hated it.

Yo this is the best one too!

I believe you mean is.

The manga is still running, no reason to assume we won't get more anime as well

[-] ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

The manga is still running

That needs some quotation marks. The light novel has been on hiatus since 2018. That was 5 years ago with very little activity since. I think they may have announced the names of the new 2 volumes but the series has basically been ice since then.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, shit, I was just going off wikipedia saying it's still running; I assumed the lack of new anime was just a covid thing :/

[-] Redditiscancer789@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Nah they also cut back season 3 probably because they're running out of course material. First 2 seasons were 25 episodes and the third was 12. Shame because I'd like to see another season but for all intents and purposes it's looking to go the way of many animes before it where they ended on a cliff hanger and then never finish the series.

Familiar of zero and likely countless others released decades before sao…

[-] HardlightCereal@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Wait, is SAO the reason so much isekai follows video game rules?

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

No, Spy Kids is, didn't you look at the meme?

[-] Ryantific_theory@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Nah, a lot of that's coincidence with Litrpg becoming popular around the same time that isekai started taking over western webfiction. It's also why there's roughly half a million litrpg "system apocalypse" stories where the isekai comes to Earth instead.

[-] Spudwart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Okay, but what about Tron?

[-] Pika@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I never really thought of that movie in ages, was the first 3d movie I've ever watched, I loved it. I never though about comparing it to SAO or Log Horizon. It's interesting to think about
