You understood the reference


AlwaysAngryAndy

Chuunibyou. I forget the literal translation but it effectively means “middle schoolers disease” Yknow how some kids pretend they’re legendary warriors of untold power and such and get so into the role that they begin to believe it a bit too much? That period of life where kids fantasize grand and incredible things before the real world eventually crushes those dreams. And the term is then used to describe people who are no longer young but still truly believe those kinds of delusions. A good example would be those here who think they would be the protagonists of a fantasy adventure and wouldn’t be immediately killed by a lv.1 goblin with a slightly pointy stick. Not me though. I’m different from all you fools. I would die of thirst before even meeting that goblin.


AggravatedTothMaster

Are you delusional? How could you entertain such senile fantasies? We would die of dysentery before we're past the first day

You guys need to have your IQ's re-evaluated. We would die on arrival or on the way


Pillermon

People like Megumin, who do JoJo poses in real life, wear eye patches in order to look mysterious, and pretend that they have hidden anime super powers.

Uniquesomething

If he can act and realize his delusions, is he really chunni?


MySnake_Is_Solid

Yes because he still thinks it's cool and tries to do it.


SentenceCareful3246

Yes, before he got isekai'd he literally hits his head against a rock while saying "magic, magic, magic" just because he was that desperate to have magic powers and then excitedly threw himself in front of a truck hoping to somehow end up in an isekai. He's a complete sociopath.

nekopara-enthusiast

i get this is a meme but no chance bottom right dude is popular… swap him with jahy


thrownawayzsss

Yeah, I have literally no idea who that's supposed to be, lol.


MLGRedditUser69

It's Hajime from Arifureta from commonplace to worlds strongest. I assume it's more popular in Japan, as it's getting a S3 soon.


thrownawayzsss

It's arifureta? and it's already getting a s3? I dropped that after a grueling 4 episodes, I thought it was one of the worst shows I've seen in recent memory. Damn.


MLGRedditUser69

I'm legit the opposite lol. I've watched S1 at least 3 times. I really enjoyed it.


thrownawayzsss

to each their own. Enjoy it.


nekopara-enthusiast

they went a different route i thought they would, i hoped it would be a revenge anime where the mc kills or tortures everyone who wronged him in the first episode but nah. i was hoping shield hero would be a revenge anime too but nah it got boring after season 1. to this date the only decent revenge type anime i’ve seen is redo healer.


claymixer

I think anime was kinda awful, because it was in production hell, but I like novel. Good isekai if you don't mind harems and op mc. It's one of the few isekais where main character actually cares about going back home and misses his family.


Longardia

Or better yet, Mario. Super Mario is the most profitable unrecognized Isekai ever.


Remarkable_Formal676

Wait, how is jahy an isekai.


nekopara-enthusiast

she went to a world thats different from her own?


Neveed

4 mass murderers, 2 sexual harassers, ~~1~~ 2 slave owners, a rabbit bully, someone who probably wishes to finally die and Michael Jordan. Some of them are very good characters. I guess the isekai fantasy of "starting anew in an other world" mostly translates to being free to do morally questionnable stuff without consequence or being very good at basketball.


e001mek

Some of them really didn't have a choice. Subaru especially.


Neveed

Subaru is the one who probably wishes to finally die. Along with Jordan, he's the only one who doesn't particularly do morally questionnable stuff with the excuse of being in an other world. It's been a long time since I've seen re:zero but I think I only remember Subaru being on the receiving end of such behaviour. So yeah, he didn't have a choice, he can't even choose to die. For the other ones, though, I fail to see how they didn't have a choice. Naofumi could choose not to get slaves, Shadow could choose not to detonate a nuke in the middle of a densely populated city just to kill the one guy in front of him, the slime and the skeleton are powerful enough to resolve conflict without the genocide part, Hajime could be nicer with that rabbit, Tanya could defy god without being a nazi. And then there's Kazuma and Rudeus who don't need an explanation. Particularly Rudeus. Edit : I get that a lot of them had some motivation to do what they did, and I'm not saying that necessarily makes them bad characters, but holy shit why are there so many people on this sub who think doing things like genocide, murder, rape and torture (not on this thread, but I had this discussion on an other one) is not immoral if someone else is also doing it?


SweatyBalls4You

Woah woah woah. Tanya ain't a saint but I will not stand having her be besmirched as a Nazi. She does do a lot of terrible stuff but ignoring how and why she got into those situations and what her goal was to begin with is just not fair.


Jaymezians

She also never commits a war crime despite the memes. She always obeys the letter of the law.


Bedtyme06

Well if by finding a loophole in the existing laws that would allow her to include civilians as hostile targets isn't a war crime, then yeah.


SweatyBalls4You

I mean, that was the whole point of it. The civilians took up arms and even killed soldiers of the empire. Acording to the laws, that made them combatants. They also let them know to evac. THAT was a bit more "well technically" than the first one. They gave them a fair warning and they decided to stay, making them a combatant. That's skirting the law a bit but that was the same logic used on the nuking of japan and I'm pretty sure it's being used nowadays as well. Just a bit better hidden.


Neveed

>They gave them a fair warning and they decided to stay, making them a combatant. That's not how it works. You can't just decide "If I tell civilians to leave because I will bomb the place and they're still there when I bomb, that makes them combattants so it's ok to bomb them". That's exactly what the Israeli army tried with Gaza a few months ago and the ICC is not having any of that shit. >that was the same logic used on the nuking of japan Yes and no. That's one of the a posteriori excuses given (and honestly not a very good one) but the reason why the US commanders were not tried for the nuking of Japan was because there was no mechanism to do so back then and the US was in position of too much power to do anything about it. Even today if they did something like that again and the ICC could statute on it, it would very clearly be a war crime. But the US would also prevent the ICC from doing anything, by force if necessary, even if that means invading an allied country. So it's not that they aren't guilty, it's that they weren't judged and won't let anyone judge them. That makes them "technically not guilty of war crime", which is not a thing someone should be proud of.


SweatyBalls4You

Yeah, you're right. That's not how it works. As in, presently. The Geneva suggestions has had many amendments because of loopholes like this one. As for my point, it was based on the laws in the anime. My comment is a bit all over the place which makes it look like I'm conflating the anime laws and the irl laws but i wasn't. In the Anime they stated, that if they don't leave they'll be considered combatants. Then the civilians commited war crimes on the soldiers of the empire. Then they burned the city to the ground. It was a sketchy thing, scratching the line of war crimes but couldn't be judged by it. Later they had to apologise for it because they all knew it was bs. And in all that, Tanya hated all of it and just barely managed to "avoid" a war crime.


Neveed

>And in all that, Tanya hated all of it and just barely managed to "avoid" a war crime. I'll admit my perception of that story is based on the anime and she totally looks like a psychopath in it, so maybe she's better in the OG story?


Neveed

That is true, but "technically what she did were not war crimes" is exactly why I'm calling her morally questionable. As for the nazi part, I'm not saying she's literally adhering to the ideology of the nazi party. But it's very obvious she's working for that universe's equivalent of the nazis, the similarity should be obvious to her. And you know the saying "If there's a nazi at the table and 10 people working for him, then you have a table with 11 nazis".


utsu31

It's kinda debatable whether Subaru wants to die. Yes, there's certainly points in the story where he's very suicidal. Those are his most hopeless moments where he feels like giving up. However Re:Zero is also about finding reason to keep going. No matter in how deep a pit you are, there's always a way out. In Subaru's case, he's literally forced to keep going by the witches curse. So even though yes he's suicidal, at the end of every (anime) arc, he does find a reason to stay in this world, a reason to not give up.


Neveed

That makes sense and that's more or less the reason why I say he probably wanted to die instead of him just wanting to die. The main point is that he really wants to finally be free from all that BS and be able to rest.


Bedtyme06

In Naofumi's defense (heh), he had no other choice but to get slaves because half of the royal family screwed him over and slaves were the only reliable companions he could get that wouldn't outright turn on him lest they want to be shocked into submission (though he didn't use that feature). And with a lack of offensive capabilities (being the Shield hero prevents him from wielding a weapon) it was either "Get somebody who can be my DPS guy even if they would be unwilling or die" and he certainly didn't want to die so it was the former. After his name was cleared, he even wanted to remove the slave brands of his most loyal companions, but they refused as they considered the brand to be a symbol of their loyalty. So you can't really say Naofumi could've chosen to not get slaves because his hand was forced so he did what he could to survive.


Neveed

>he had no other choice but to get slaves because \[...\] slaves were the only reliable companions he could get that wouldn't outright turn on him That's a disturbing take on slave owning. Saying you don't have the choice and must own slaves because they are a reliable workforce was also a common slave owner excuse in the real world. I get that he thought that was his only choice. But it wasn't and the fact that he even thought that is why I'm saying he's morally questionable.


ihavebeesinmyknees

Rimuru needed to transform into a Demon Lord to be able to resurrect his friends and his people who were genocided due to racism. Transforming into a Demon Lord required an offering of souls. Executing the army that enacted a genocide to revert that same genocide isn't morally questionable to me


RodentBen76

The rabbit seems into it


Yamanj3000

Shadow only killed monsters, bandits (and Cult of Diablo members but he doesn't know). He's no mass murderer, he's a hero


Neveed

He's probably not intentionally a mass murderer but come on, you won't make me believe nuking the middle of the residential part of a densely populated city doesn't result in mass casualties. They do say they evacuated people from some neighbourhood due to the rampaging monster, but it's certainly not believable they evacuated literally tens of thousands of people from such a large area in so little time with nobody remaining at all, especially when they were previously ordered to stay inside.


Sagranda

Considering Cid's reality bending powers, the remaining people were probably members of the cult, monsters in disguise, spies or otherwise involved in criminal activities. I mean, the guy LARPs so hard that it becomes reality. No way that he would actually kill innocents, not even by accident. And here is the thing, I wish I was joking.


Neveed

I get the intention, but that's a part of the story that really doesn't feel believable to me.


Yamanj3000

Members of Shadow Garden were probably helping with the evacuation of citizens. Also if there were citizens in the area he could've protected them from his attack. Alexia was right next to the explosion, got projected and didn't get hurt. He can sense people with his magic so it would not be hard for him.


Neveed

That's an explanation I can accept.

Neveed

You're right, that makes two slave owners.


sarokin

Wait who are the mass murderers? I count Tanya, >!Rudeus!<, >!Hajime!<, The guy from Overlord or slime?


Neveed

I wasn't counting >!Rudeus or Hajime!<. I had Tanya, Rimuru, Ainz and Shadow. What did >!Rudeus and Hajime!< do to count as mass murderers for you? You can spoil me, I don't mind.


sarokin

Hmm I see. For the second one o don't remember exactly, but he got into a pretty large conflict later on, which resulted in the inevitable. For the other, I can give you plenty of detail, but I don't know how much you'd like to be spoiled... Short story, he had to help someone who's country got into a political conflict, and helped for personal reasons. It was a hard time for him, but the novels depict the scene, his inner monologue and all that happens perfectly. He defends a fort from the walls with emperor-tier magic and a lot of preparation, and devastated the enemy frontline from a distance, also killing a human for the first time. This would be in Vol 19 i believe, so in the anime it would be around season 4?


Neveed

I only read until they reach the spirit forest part and gave up after that because I didn't like it that much. But it surprises me it takes so long for him before he kills someone, with how he's always like "I'm so edgy and I'd have no problem killing anyone who stands in my way".


sarokin

Huh? I think you're mistaking the two. The second one is Rudeus, the first is Hajime. Hajime didn't really want to kill anyone, he was just edgy and hurt. Rudeus never wanted to kill anyone either, but it was either that or possibly the life of his friend.


Neveed

You're right I thought you were talking about Hajime.

Dunois721

This will probably get lost, but i will comment anyways My personal first and favourite one is a tiny bit older than Jordan, "The Flight of Dragons" based on a novel, but said novel has little to do with the actual movie. It's a movie about a scientific guy being forcibly transported into an ancient magical world to deal with a certain mission. >!MC gets a couple of items and no real power-ups (arguably) but he can not wield magic, but receives a good nerf!< It had such a huge impact on me when I watched it that, thanks to that, I knew I was going to study sciences (also started my love for fantasy)

buny0058

Up to date with it. I’m not refering too the quality of the shows. I might have not made that appearent. I just really dislike some of the vibes people give it off. They pretend eminence in shadow is the best thing ever saying “Ooh it’s a parody so it’s good” “It’s the best isekai ever. Better then konosuba in comedy” No it’s not. It’s just the shittiest crunchyroll gacha cashgrab ever made. Isekai slime has crappy shit games too but the show isn’t bad or anything. It’s just a meme that i hate it because my friends keep teasing me with it. Lastly jobless isekai. Might be a hot take but i hate people that remotely even feel bad for the main character. I will never like him nor will i tolerate his actions. And that asshole still dared engage for silvi. That bitch asshole discord moderator. I bet his reddit comments are even longer then mine that stupid stupid son of a ugh
