Maybe that's why they bothered (?)let alone one in which any static image pulled from it would be singularly unimpressive.

Anthem's such an over the top ability that aliens from space seems totally plausible. Between Anthem, Bamboo Man's powers being low level DBZ shit, and Yuri being a robot, this show as never low-key IMO.
Double Decker 12-13 FIN
Show ended well enough and with a tone in-line with the rest of the show. I'd been concerned that it totally dropped the ball but ep 11 seems like the outlier. That's not to say the show was without faults because it had some glaring ones:
Glad I watched it though as I had a ton of fun with it even if it did misstep toward the end. Thanks again for the rec, HosannaExcelsis
- The show often struggled with its own foreshadowing and not handling it well enough to justify the twists and turns in the back half.
- Episode 11 was ridiculously compressed and while I don't think this really feels like a 2 cour series rewritten as one there was definitely trouble balancing the character-focused episodes with those of the main Anthem plotline.
- Kirill's origin is incredibly anime and it detracts from the more low-key nature of the show (Overdrives excepted.) Could've just been another country and would have been equally effective.
I think I'd throw Yuri in with the Overdrive business as these brief incredible moments in what's normally a fairly benign environment. Flashes of superheroic stuff that really isn't what the show is about. Bamboo Man (I'm irritated the design was wasted and not his actual look, I assumed his other identity was the mask) was wonderfully threatening since he was always incredibly potentially disruptive since his powers were always on instead of one of the aforementioned flashes but he was woefully underutilized and I think the ramp up toward the end needed more than just his presence and the requisite monster of the week, especially in a show where the latter was mostly forgettable in light of the more "realistic" crime stuff and associated nonsense like the tv show ep.
The fact that Bamboo Man and Anthem were so extraordinary actually makes aliens more plausible, not less. Where'd all this impossible technology come from? If its another country then it'd be more widespread, but having an alien culture use ours as a petri dish? It's exactly the kind of weirdness that makes sense. And it's not like we're too far behind either, as Yuri and Apple's usual inventions are well beyond what humanity is capable of.
Shield Hero 1
Well, there's all sorts of questionable shit in this show so far and it's only an episode in. There's this troubling trend in isekai shows I've noticed recently where the protagonist travels to the usual quasi-medieval fantasy videogamey world that has a thriving slaving economy and manages to snag himself a slave or two, which coincidentally always happen to be young girls, and I guess this is supposed to be a good thing since he treats them well or whatever. I gotta say I care not for this trend at all, to say the least. Where the hell did this trend get started? Where are all these MMOs with deep slave purchasing systems that they seem to keep taking inspiration from?
The shield's skill tree looks okay, I guess.
An Angel Flew Down to Me
I think I made a mistake just blindly watching this…
Eh that'd mean that the power fantasy aspect of it wouldn't be there. Even in Re Zero while Subaru gets tortured he still has his power fulfillment moment ( I like Re Zero btw)surely there must be an isekai where the first thing that happens is the protag gets enslaved himself and then he starts a slave uprising or some shit

I don't understand, do you want the version of the protagonist of the real world to be a woman, the version in the fantasy world or both?I'ts time for an Isekai where the protagonist is a woman.
Yuri harem ensues. I don't even know if this is good or bad.
Both, in an analogous way that in usual Isekai the protagonist is a man in both worlds. Not that I'm against the protagonist changing gender as it goes to the other world but it was not my initial idea.I don't understand, do you want the version of the protagonist of the real world to be a woman, the version in the fantasy world or both?
Isn't The Twelve Kingdoms basically this? Also Escaflowne kinda counts.
Was any of them made (as in broadcasted as anime) in the last 10 or 20 years?Isn't The Twelve Kingdoms basically this? Also Escaflowne kinda counts.
Hmm, for new female isekai protags, Otome Flag Destruction and Kumo had animes announced, didn't they.Both, in an analogous way that in usual Isekai the protagonist is a man in both worlds. Not that I'm against the protagonist changing gender as it goes to the other world but it was not my initial idea.
EDIT: I know Escaflowne exists but getting new stuff would be nice? Does Inuyasha count as Isekai? Is Kagome really the protagonist? I'd still would like something new.
Twelve Kingdoms was early 2000s.Was any of them made (as in broadcasted as anime) in the last 10 or 20 years?
This one is for you then.I'ts time for an Isekai where the protagonist is a woman.

I think the saga of Tanya the Evil half counts. (it's a Japanese business man reincarnated into a girl into another world)Was any of them made (as in broadcasted as anime) in the last 10 or 20 years?
its not pedo bait anime if it what you implying
OK good.
There's a lot of manga and light novel stuff with purely female protagonists. Not many of them seem to be getting anime adaptations, though.Both, in an analogous way that in usual Isekai the protagonist is a man in both worlds.

So is there any chance or vague rumors about a second season for Land of Lustrous, or do I need to start reading the manga?
