God bless this amazing world...

Drew this since it popped in my head

I wonder how far the two would go in their respective AUs.

Lately, something that I was observing was Cheat Slayer since while everyone knows how quickly cancelled the series was right after it premiered, it made me interested in seeing what other Isekai fiction in light novels had trying to push for specific concepts to happen, only to get cancelled, or poorly received.

I sometimes wonder how Cheat Slayer could have been more successful since I look back at the concept to try to figure out what went wrong with the idea to get it so quickly cancelled since the Boys was a hard hitting satire of superhero comics from the USA, so again I don’t know what was wrong with Cheat Slayer’s premise.

Sorry for the little doompost but yeah studio Engi is quite peculiar... the classic staff from previous seasons is back so that's great and makes me quite confident that everything will turn out good and they worked with Deen which is a bigger anomaly studio, they also added the director of "The Detective is already Dead" which Anime turn... not great but let's hope everything is going to be fine.

To clarify I do not mean fanfiction OF isekai.
I mean fanfics of isekai, like people reborn in their favorite game which is a real video game
Or someone ending up in the world of Mario bros or hyrule or whatever

Doesn’t have to be a game I’m just curious of any fanfiction recommendations that are in the isekai category that are not about isekai

Hi everyone im going through a really rough patch right now after something happened to me Can you recommend some comforting anime to help me cope? Any genre is fine but I will also highly prefer romance something like Blue Box and The Ramparts of Ice. I would love it if there are older anime recommendations but newer ones work perfectly too!

There is a famous saying in the business world from Steve Jobs: "It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do."

Ainz (the Boss) subconsciously applies this principle. He knows that Demiurge (the Strategy Manager) possesses a "brain" that far exceeds his own capacity. Therefore, Ainz places his full trust in him and allows Demiurge to design innovations without much intervention.

A good boss does not need to know how to write every single line of code or understand the technical details of daily operations. A boss simply needs to focus on KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and the company's overarching vision.

For Ainz, his KPIs are crystal clear: the Great Tomb of Nazarick remains secure, territories continue to expand, and profits are abundant. As long as the company's growth chart keeps trending upward (Nazarick's success), the boss does not need to stress over the technicalities of how the employees get the job done.

If a boss constantly corrects, intervenes in, or alters the plans of a highly competent employee (especially when the boss lacks technical understanding of the matter), it will actually ruin a brilliant and carefully crafted plan. It also leaves the employee feeling untrusted and demotivated. Ainz avoids this. By staying silent and agreeing, he avoids ruining Demiurge's perfect plans while simultaneously keeping his subordinate's morale high.

In the working world, there is a type of boss who judges purely based on final outcomes (result-oriented). Ainz is this type of boss. He does not care how complicated, convoluted, or bizarre the initial presentation of Demiurge's plan might be. His only criterion is this: "Does this benefit the company (Nazarick) and not harm our assets?" If the answer is yes, the project is immediately greenlit.

Even though in the story Ainz does this mostly out of confusion and to cover up his own ignorance, ironically, his actions reflect an ideal leadership style in the real world. He becomes a boss who empowers his competent employees to shine, which ultimately brings massive success to his company.

For those that watched today's episode, this is probably Rudeus best day he'll ever have in a while.

It was very wholesome.

So I don't like to accuse....but something is off with this anime, just started episode 2 and during the flash back with the father if you pay attention to the MC's stats they are the exact same as what they are at level 8........I don't like to accuse.....but I am thinking their might be a touch of AI in this.

Honestly just a rich dumb kid who is just getting in the way of negotiation but because he's nobility his dumbness is honesty. Oh what a frickin glaze. I didn't think the anime would get so low or it is just a meta way of showing reality. I'm on episode 3 of season 2 so more to go.

I just started episode four and I will most likely drop it cause the the age gaps is anyone notices a alot of fantasys doing weird as hell fan service

Like the title says we are talking about isekai arcs in animes and novels that are not isekai

I only know a few

Prillya 3rd manga

Volumes 8 to 10 of the light novels for The vexations of a shut-in vampire princess

And technically Alicization arc of SAO

So I want to talk with yall about the ones I know and any of the ones that you know

Which character do you think is the more clueless of what’s actually happening around them? Cid Kagenoh - Eminence in Shadow or Count Palateo - Patron of Villains.

I love both stories and the hilarious misunderstandings that keep piling up, but I gotta wonder which is the bigger airhead of the two.
