New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt

It's crude, and raunchy, and really stupid. What little plot there is, is nonsense. And on the whole it's just a repugnant mess of a show. And that's why can't help but like it.
It's out already?! I know they didn't get the original english dub voices back, but from what I heard in the previews, the new cast sounds good enough. As soon as I get home, i'm gonna start watching that tonight.

Whatever, just wash your hands.
Been rewatching Log Horizon, just finshed Season 1 and started on season 2. It still holds up pretty well. It is one of those anime that initially is really lacking a budget, but its got a good enough story to overcome it. The setup is a bunch of people transported to an mmo world. What sets it apart is that its not just one person, but a ton of players who are there so they have to figure out how to live in this world while being immortal since unlike most trapped in a game things, if they die, they come back. It does a good job of describing mmo mechanics and keeping the rules still in effect, there are certainly some dated terms and mechanics, but it works pretty well and just gets better as season 1 goes on and gets much better in season 2 since it feels like they got a much bigger budget for season 2 so everything looks and animates better.
Also its got a banger of an intro.

Another terrible "trapped in an MMO" story from someone who has either never played an MMO, or is just terrible at them and has no idea how anything works.

99% of all Isekai are terrible and Log Horizon is only slightly better than SAO, but still absolute trash.
Sounds more like your saying that you love SAO and are jealous that Log Horizon is so much better then it. You should work on that.

Ehhh I'd say log horizhon feel like someone who played MMO, but thought that getting to max level meant you finished the game (when really it means you finished the tutorial). There's so many situation where they make a big deal out of something trivial, like the low level orc invasion, which should have been easily resolved by anyone with a couple of level, as any MMO player who went back to low level area could tell you.

Wasn't really for me, I'm not a fan of the ''genius'' character, because they usually are kinda dumb but opposing extremely dumb people, almost all the scheme in S1 would fall completely flat if they were up against someone even just mildly stupid, and they almost all have solution that are far less risky.

But what really killed S1 was the children dungeon arc, again, feel like it was written by someone who kinda played MMO, but never really finished any.

It gets enough right to make it enjoyable. Depends on the MMO, in something like wow high levels would trash it, but not every mmo is wow.

I finished season two a few weeks ago, and I find it even better than season one of Panty and Stocking. Trigger nailed it out of the park again. I want a box set of this pronto.

Man, Phil LaMarr had small roles in EVERYTHING, including multiple roles per show, and most of his voices didn't even sound authentic.

The only good isekai are:

  • Digimon Seasons 1-4. Digimon, in general, but I haven't kept up with the newer shows.
  • Escaflowne
  • Monster Rancher
  • El Hazard OVA 1 & 2, and the AU TV series.
  • Owl House
  • Amphibia
Everything else is either bad, boring, senseless shafts, or copies of a copy of another copy that's already crappy to begin with. This is a genre within subgenres.That is already oversaturated, and they just let anybody in at this point. It's been that way for a good long while now.

You forgot Infinity Train and Log horizon. Also probably Inuyasha.

You misspelled yes.
Nope. We're not doing a constant loop nor back and forth on this. I hate both of those shows, they're bad, and I never want to see either again. Especially Inuyasha (unless it's bad ass art of Sango by herself).

You can be as wrong about it as you like.
