    I'd call it the first '3rd Generation' isekai. 3rd Gen is also the era that made the genre absurdly popular, it covers most of the 2010s up until the last few years where(thanks largely to Slime) we're moving into 4th Gen. 1st Generation Japanese isekai is stuff like Alice in Wonderland the anime, Magic Knight Rayearth, or Digimon.(this era especially was a huge influence on Western Isekai). Second Generation is the SAO and Dot Hack era.

    • @kalkuttadrop6371
      @kalkuttadrop6371 14 днів тому

      So yes, it along with Rezero and Konosuba were pioneers, just less for the Genre as a whole and moreso a specific renaissance of it changing a ton of norms and popularizing the genre. You could argue stuff like Reincarnated as a Slime is doing the same thing for 4th Gen. The older stuff deserves to be remembered though, especially since it's influence in the West is massive. The blood of Magic Knight Rayearth and Digimon is in almost every Western Isekai.

    I'm here now after i watched the anime, and if im not wrong, the pacing seemed to be the same length or twice as long. I didn't watched the OG-Anime, but i watched the amount of episodes. As S1 has 13 Episodes in the OG, the remake has 25 Episodes in Season 1. I dont know if this Remake combines Season 1 and 2 from the OG in S1, but as i read that there is a second Season confirmed for the remake, i guess that they stretched it out. Or there will be new content :D Im curious

    Grimgar came out ahead of it's time. I think if it had a second chance and released for the first time now, it would do a lot better just because it's a bit of a counter to a lot of trash and bloat that is isekai releasing now. It more aligns with what people want now then what they wanted in 2016. At least imo

    The author "Rifujin Na Mago no Te" did a great job making the characters feel human (this is specially true in the light novel). Almost all Mushoku Tensei characters have their own goals, their own problems, their own past, they often fail, or do things they regret (either at the time or later). All of them could be the main character in a story. By the way... "Rifujin Na Mago no Te" looks like a pen name. Just by the sound alone it could mean "the hand of an unreasonable grandchild", haha... Though if he is using other kanji to produce the same sounds then it could mean something else...

    fair point but i gonna give a hot take as of now which has nothing to do with this video, Mushoku Tensei is garbage, not because of the plot but due to its "fan service" which consists of a 30 year man in a ten to fiveteen year old body perving for underage children, I dont care if the demon queen is 1000 years old, she is still in like 8 year old body and the main girl is like fiveteen FYI: You sound creepy as hell if you justify it by saying there in another world legal age is diffrent...'yea its fiction so it techniqe does count as child" bro anyone who says that should go join Chris when he gets convicted. I had to take a 3 month break after I saw the ship scene, and only started again because I kept telling myself it not as bad as i thought. Which is not true. I was 17 at the time of watching it. I realize writing this does not matter but good way to relieve stress.

    good video. i think the new one does a pretty good job conveying negative emotions too in my opinion. personaly I didnt grow up with the original(was 17 but probably wouldnt have appreaciated it.) i watched both and enjoy both but the remake just clicks more for me. i think what i like is that TO ME, it does the books better and i think the facial animations help with the emotional tone much like the lighting did in the original. I think what helped too is the voice actors had a decade plus to improve their craft and it shows. obviously they are good in the original but they knock it out of the park HARD in the remake at times. I also just prefer her design more in the remake. anyway its personal preference., great video.

Don't criticize it too much, people get mad, i made a comment on how the og made two scenes better and some guy got butt hurt over it, i personally like the old one a bit better just because of the art style.

    Oh man you nailed what I have been feeling about the remake and the original. The original is my fav anime and has a significant impact with me because i watched it with my partner and we both got invested in it to the point it's our anime. The relationship was so real and knew how to make use feel, like when Lawrence was desperate to get her back only for him and the audience to realise he never lost her. The remake made me hopeful but nervous as well, i wanted more but i didnt want a letdown either. Didnt want it to lessen the original and what that ment to use either, so we have been putting off watching it for a while, even now we are waiting for the the full dub. Also i usually get flack for this but i love and prefer the original art style more than the LN, Holo is perfect in the og anime.

    Great work! that was a really sane review and I like it. Cases like SnW will always give rise to divergent opinions, there are those reminiscent of the past, and those who advocate the future. The fact is, the two versions separated by more than 15 years already, do not intend to take each other's place, nor should they, they represent different moments in the history of the anime industry and should also represent different moments in the heart of each one of their fans. The old journey was truly unforgettable, the new one will also be!

If they don't like certain aesthetic elements, they can always go watch the original adaptation, read the manga, or even get into the light novels. All of it is necessary in conveying certain aspects of the story in different but unique ways, giving the characters as a whole a multiplicity to them that is hard to find in other stories. Good video!
