actually looks pretty good, its definitely animie, the suicide squad, isekai elements look good, the sound try is good, all that left is to see how everything is put togather. it it could be trash, it could be gold, it could be just worth watching we cant really tell from what we got.
In my defense when a friend was talking about it they just said "that suicide squad anime" and also bold assumption I can read titles of trailers ... Or read in general for that matter
the gate isnt bad, one of the best isekai has a gate and its literally called gate. Whats terrible is the way the character designs are and the dialogue.
Yeah we were talking on stream yesterday about it and i didn't realize that the gate fell under the whole isekai genre which would make stargate a live action isekai
The term "isekai" truly left a bad taste on western audience mouth. I do agree that isekais are mostly just template garbage. Just hearing something with said genre already enough to make them wanna puke.This being from Wit kinda gives me some sort of hope. Some western media that had been translated into anime forms are quite good. Like Pacific Rim for example, albeit it does felt like a completely different world than the ones from the 2013 movie. A lot of western audience might ask, why isekai, why is it still a thing, despite being absolute garbage with the exact same structure and idea, why they kept making it. Simple, cuz it's what their main benefactor wanted. Most overseas viewers consumes anime and manga through pirated sites, which doesn't really benefits the industry. While the Japanese market still prefer to buy the physical copy. It's kinda hard to find a pirated site when searching the title with Japanese characters (as in writings). As to why they consumed them, I would guess it got something to do with their social issues. High level of stress, suicide rate, karoshi (work to death), lack of confidence, hikikomori (shut-in), high expectation, tight competition, black company exploitation, ppl barely meeting their family members to the point their child forgets them, etc. I'm guessing these are the reasons why they crave for some form of escapism. Thus the template of isekai. Mc that is probably a nerd or a typical nice guy everyday joe, or maybe even bullied and not the popular guy died in the current miserable life. Then reborn or transported to another world where everything is easy for him. He is overpowered and can take down anyone with ease. Following this are the harem of beautiful women of varying personalities and body types (albeit usually following repeatable archetype) that fell in love and dedicated, even fighting over the mc, after the mc simply being nice to them. It's an escapist power fantasy that feeds upon ppl effected by the aforementioned issue. And clearly, it's selling. Even the bad quality ones. Overseas audience who can't relate with such issues would probably get mad or laugh at or annoyed by new isekai releases. I personally think, unless this market is gone, or the overseas could prove themself to be the bigger benefator, isekai would still exist, and in the form of the existing template we all hate. Albeit some did break the meta, but most just sustain the structure.
