People seem to be getting sick of the massive amount of isekai spam.

Seriously there are hundreds all over Crunchyroll. It is by far the largest genre on there, and the front page is 2/3 isekai.

Who is watching this shit? And better yet, where is it all coming from?

Most of it is seeing how successful MT was and adapting novels that were written around the same time.

The isekai ones that show promise don't get renewed.

It's all of our problem, because that subscriber / ad money is going back to Japan and telling them "You'll earn even more money if you make even more isekai."

Does Bofuri count as Isekai? It's just a video game that the characters can log out of at any time, not even like Log Horizon where they're completely trapped.

Except that the treatment MT received from Kadokawa pre-anime proves otherwise. The LN and manga versions got tossed aside like a wet blanket and their sales pre-anime were just barely above average.

all isekai that exist were born on amateur webnovel sites, they are extremely cheap to buy the license and are popular in a way, so any studio that wants to increase its popularity only needs a small amount to buy some random isekai and make an anime out of it
there is no 'new isekai' they are all old webnovels

Even if battle shonen are similar, they don't look that similar. One may be about pirates, the other may be about ninjas, another one may be about martial arts. The vast majority of isekai just look like Dragon Quest. Way easier to get tired of it.

Bofuri was pretty popular when it was airing. Season 2 flopped due to a combination of taking FOREVER to get made and comically low production values.

There really aren't that many battle shonen anime. It just feels like there are a lot because the more popular ones run for a long time. A big reason is that most battle shonen are adapted from weekly magazine manga, of which there are only a fairly limited number of spots (especially for the bigger name magazines that are more likely to get adaptions). Isekai light novels are churned out endlessly and any moderately popular one gets a commercial release, so there's a WAY bigger pool to adapt from.

Titles used were Chainsawman, Demon Slayer (though other series use demons so idk), D. Gray Man, Jujutsu Kaisen, Bone Collector (lol), Phantom Busters(?), Ghost Fixers, and Dead Account.

itd be fine to have native/isekai like bofuri but then the author has very little talent and the shows quality is very 5/10
if you get past 3 episodes of that garbage its an achievement

in general theres just too many trash material being adapted and that sucks

Not really. Isekai can be anything. You can isekai into a futuristic space war. Or into a prehistoric ice age.
Or into a fantastical demon world. Or even a mythological journey.
ISEKAI can be anything, but for some reason people think it can only be โ€œdragon quest power fantasyโ€

Dragon Quest power fantasy is what people are familiar with, and what hack uncultured writers can use as a setting when they don't know shit about shit, because magic can handwave all their plotholes and inconsistencies.

I'd be okay with them if they were different. But all the anime really highlights how copy and paste most of them are. Light novels in general really.

Japs are 10 years behind the trends and demands. They still think that isekai is as popular as it was 10 years ago.

You're a big hypocrite if you complain about isekai fatigue, watch 500 eps of formulaic shonen and see no problem with it.

I donโ€™t get it. Why do japs always do the dragon quest isekai? Isekai includes time travel and dimension travel. Itโ€™s literally fantasy , except you get to handwave shit by having the MC just teleport to the world from another world.
