Pro tip: Stop pretending every isekai anime is unique.

They all follow the same tired formula with a bland protagonist getting teleported. It's lazy writing and fans eat it up every time.

Saw an article last week that called modern isekai the fast food of anime. That's dead on. It's all the same ingredients reheated, and yeah, the main character is usually cardboard. The market just keeps buying it because it's comfortable and easy to digest. Don't see it changing as long as it keeps making money. Feels like every season has three new ones that blur together.

That YouTube video tallying chef protagonists really proves webb.viola's fast food point.
