@Glomoro : I love a good grumble as much as the next guy, but the actual arguments I'm seeing a lot around here... especially as pertains to isekai manga, are kinda out of control.

This manga is clearly a wish fulfillment power fantasy and is straight to the point with it. I respect that.

That's one of the pitfalls isekai mangas always fall for. If you don't like what Earth is now, you sure won't like it in medieval times, a time in which people's lives didn't worth anything, there were no basic rights, and certainly not technology. Yeah, I know this is a comedy, so it doesn't take itself seriously, but even so, I see no point in falling for this pitfall. Usually, it's used to justify why the MC doesn't want to go back, which was a standard in old Isekais, even on the West (yes guys, Dungeons and Dragons tv show is an isekai, I think it's the first one I ever saw).

True enough. A shame they never got to go home. There was one episode where they could have gone home but opted not to for reasons. Can't really remember why. But it was a kinda shitty series anyway since there was no kind of progression, no plot-arc, no change of any sort from one episode to the next. You could watch the whole thing in any order and it would make no difference besides the first episode.
Even Thundercats actually had some things change occasionally, and did actually officially get an ending.


Speaking of which, would Thundercats count as a sci-fi isekai since they literally migrated from Thundera to Third Earth on a spaceship?

Anyhow, counting proper Japanese isekai series, they almost always wanted to go home in the original ones like Magic Knight Rayearth and Vision of Escaflowne, probably because a fantasy world seems like a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't wanna live there. It can be easy to take the ease of one's life for granted until it is taken away.

@The5thSeraph Let's thank the fans for making the Dungeons and Dragons ending then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1_6SeRRflo it was very well made, nothing bad really.

It was repetitive because of the format it had as a TV Show. I mean, if it had progression, when you lose one episode, you'd stop understanding the show, since something happened that you didn't see, and would only be able to see it again in a rerun. Every show of that time had the same format, of a single story per episode, with very little changes to the formula. I think it was Batman the animated series that introduced the "Previously in..." thing when having stories that took more than one episode, which helps, but doesn't solve the problem. Animes were always made to sell DVDs, and the TV exhibition is just an advertisement, so you could make long stories with many episodes, because you could just buy the DVD and see everything. Today with Netflix and streaming allowing you to watch whatever you want whenever you want, the problem is gone.

Going to another planet can be considered Isekai? Then yes, Thundercats is an isekai.

And yes, I agree, Fantasy worlds are good places place to visit, but not to live, that's why I consider these protagonists who don't want to go back as a pitfall. The old isekais did this right, but now, to run from the cliche, they fall in a pitfall. I remember an Isekai I saw recently that to take a bath, they used a bucket with water and a piece of cloth, no shower, no soap, no bathtub (fine, we have no bathtubs in Brazil, but they do in Japan, and the guys never miss that), ah, and there wasn't a toilet either. That alone would make me want to get the hell out of there.

@Ant1989
I wouldn't necessarily say that wanting to go home is automatically an improvement over wanting to stay. If anything a situation where characters can go back and forth at will might be optimal. Lack of modern conveniences is one thing, but the complete lack of personal power and agency in the real world might be a bigger factor. If the fantasy world had cleaning magic, it would easily be superior to the real world on the hygiene front (though the Japanese, being Japanese, want their baths anyway).
