Part time weeblet here
Isekai if I remember right translates to other world. However in the context of the genre it’s when the protagonist gets transported to what is usually a fantasy world from what is usually death or reincarnation and sometimes summoning
Another trope I’ve seen is protagonist just wakes up in an MMO as their character and all the NPCs are sentient
I’m sure there are more but in anime it mostly boils down to: character is in fantasy now and knowledge of our world could give them an edge
When done right and done good it’s also a great trope for a fresh start and world building cus we don’t know the world, and the protagonist doesn’t know the world so we learn with them.
How well does Tron fit this genre?
I never knew that was my favorite type of anime... Also one punch man
That seems like such a broad genre to pass judgement on. That's like if someone said "Ah-ha! You do have fish-out-of-water genres in the US!" I mean, ok; whatever. Who actually cares either way to debate this...?
I agree
IMO in anime it’s been overdone
I like it cus it can be pretty broad like most genres can be but I get tired of “lOsEr GeTs ReInCaRnAtEd InTo FaNtAsY wOrLd”. Idk maybe I’ve been watching too much as of late
