Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni

>Touya Mochizuki was accidentally killed, and as an apology, God allows him to be reborn in a fantasy world and will grant him any one wish he desires. And so, Touya chooses to keep his smartphone in the next world. In his second chance at life, he befriends many important figures and comes across the world's secret. He inherits the legacy of an ancient civilization and travels around nonchalantly while possessing powers that rival this world's kings.

Probably the dumbest concept for an anime that I've read in a while.

I tried reading the novel before the anime coming out and it was pretty good

Are they even trying at this point

Try reading "I became a living parasyte"
There's at least 30 other WNs that I've read are worse.

>find dragon horn
>I know! i'll turn it into a gun in this medieval fantasy world!
>i'll call it brynhildr

>Are they even trying at this point
They haven't been trying for a long time now.

Yen Press recently licensed another one, about a guy who reincarnates as a Vending Machine in a fantasy world's dungeon.

Dumb plot, but the girls are good and the MC isn't bad.

Oh please, smartphone is hardly bad
now death march

Smartphone is comfy.
But I find Death March more entertaining.

What about battery life? And how will a smartphone even be relevant in a world with no internet and power sockets? He might surprise a few locals with some shitty app games like flappy bird a flashlight, but then what about afterwards? To be fair I've have not read any of the LN, but it still seems silly that a smartphone would be of any use in a medieval-fantasy world.

Sounds like AOTS.

WN was fuckawful after the first hundred or so chapters.
LN was fuckawful after the first handful of chapters.

Does it really surprise anyone that the anime is going to be fucking awful too?

They're both utter shit of the lowest possible quality.

>literally "it's magic I ain't got to explain shit"

Those designs are really bad. Havent seen this shit a character design since valkyrie drive.

I read the first three volumes, and it's fun .

>"Lies are forbidden and love moreso. In the near future, when you turn sixteen, you are assigned a marriage partner by the government. Yukari Nejima is a below average fifteen year old, but in within him, hides a heart burning with passion! In this world in which love is forbidden, what will happen to him?"

you have now read something dumber.

*and a flashlight
Can't cure autism.

Does he use an iPhone? Does he use any proprietary software? Does his phone have a >5.5 inch screen, nonremovable battery, or no microsd card slot? If any if the above are true, preemptively dropped.

portable solar panel

it becomes a magic item powered by his godly magic
god gave him a uber body with ALL THE MAGICKS

>the hip new thing is to make dunbine ripoffs
which parallel universe is this

>What about battery life?
The smartphone is literally powered by a god, so it has unlimited battery-life and is given read-only access to the internet, as well as a hotline to that god.

Google Maps apparently works by magic now, too.

>Does he use an iPhone?
>Does he use any proprietary software?
>Does his phone have a >5.5 inch screen,
Novel doesn't say. Up to artist interpretation.

>nonremovable battery,
>or no microsd card slot?
Phone is fucking magic. Don't need a battery, and memory storage is probably infinite too.

Why there's a mecha on it?

monsters from another dimension are invading the realm in search of their king, mad genius creates them as a mean to fight the evil aliens as they suck magic

How much fanservice can I expect?

>this
>Death March
>Shield Hero
So when are we getting Mushoku Tensei?
It has to be soon, right? Right?

Is no one simulcasting this?

CR will announce it soon.

Fuck you — the girl's designs are garbage.

Steiner that's not you right?

Will MC be shirtless?

Will Isekai finally die with this? or do we have to wait till Shield Hero's adaptation to finally kill it.

Isekai restaurant can surpass tate in 2/4 weeks, knight and magic is now ranked 23 a can reach a least to top 15
School battle harem last around 7 years, wait a least 4 years more

What do you mean user? That thing is actually a bestseller for HJ(Hobby Japan).

If anything expect more adaptions from the top 100:
fujitaka.ukauka.net/prg/index/Narou2000/

this looks like utter garbage.

Cant wait for this to flop. Wonder if westerns will like False Allegations: Isekai (SH)

Isekai has been around for centuries, the great trio of slime, ogre and spider still need to get their anime next year.

Shield Hero will be the dissapointment of the year. Where is my Mushoku Tensei adaptation?

MT would be even a bigger disappointment as much as I like it, look at the manga.

I'm actually glad Shield got an adaption it might do pretty good as an anime. Most Japs digged the Chuuni-Hollywood PV, lets see how it goes

Meant for

Chunni-Hollywood? What the fuck?

Translator's Note: Kino

So we got 2 isekai series this season

>Knight and Magic
Saw the two episodes and checked the manga after that. It's cliche as fuck and I had to drop it.

>Isekai Shokudou
I dont know what to think about this one. The MC is not a betafag, but the story is boring so far.

10/10 will watch again

>dissapointment of the year
you kidding? it will resurrect the genre.

I've been reading a LOT of ISEKAIs, and a lot of Fantasy stories lately.

I'm a sucker for medieval fantasy, so I read what I have to, you know?

But goddamn, what is it with RIDICULOUS wishfulfillment in ISEKAI storylines. They're stupid as fuck- like the characters are overpowered as fuck, or are straight up Gary Stu tier characters.

One of them was "Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou!"- which within a few chapters, the MC is filthy fucking rich many times over, has all the bitches lusting over his cock, and is one of the greatest wizards of his time, AND has a magical mansion, and a title and nobility.

Holy shit, man.

There's a lot of medieval fantasy and isekai series out there, more than I imagined, but goddamn, they're so...BAD, to average at best!

And they're all like 'SEE HOW AMAZING THE MC IS", without any build up.

why are they animating all this garbage isekai when their are better isekai?

It turns Muv-Luv later on in the story.

Nah that will be Death March. Truly the beginning of the end.

>shokudou
>boring

They're popular and it sells.

Nirvana doesn't have enough material for an anime yet.

>why are they animating all this garbage when their are better garbage?

Any good ISEKAI or medieval fantasy?

Cause, damn, there's a lot of stuff out there.

check out Akuyaku Tensei Dakedo Doushite Kou Natta

Very likely despite what people are saying. Shieldbro is MF Books first anime adaption and there's a high probability that more are coming in which case I can't think of anything other than Mushoku, Hachinan or Fairy Tale Chronicles.
I honestly doubt they'd choose Hachinan over MT if it came down to it.

LN saleswise for the past few vols its been like this: Hachinan>Fairy Tale Chronicles>MT>Shieldbro

>2 isekai series this season
Isekai Smartphone is also this season. 1st Episode in like a day or two.

>what is it with RIDICULOUS wishfulfillment in ISEKAI storylines
Most of the translations we're getting are written by amateurs on the Japan equivalent to fanficiton.net. Many are writing as a hobby to literally escape reality, while others are using it as a quick way to gain a free fanbase before publishing, with little effort.

I don't believe this is a problem with the setting/"genre" itself, but with the current point in time we're in (where self-publishing is semi-viable) and the fact that isekai kinda does lend itself to make it easier to "escape" (but abusing that is more of the writer's fault than anything)

I see.

I mean I love the idea of the ISEKAI- being brought to another world is classic fun.

But nearly every damn variant I've seen ends up stupid- the main character is either ridiculously overpowered, has cheat like abilities, has videogame analysis- videogame mechanics....

Wouldnt it be MORE interesting to have to see a story about a normal person having to struggle to survive in a magical world through guts, and cunning, and THEN little by little gain magical power?

I'd like that, man.
An actual story where the MC grows slowly, and has appropriate challenges, and stories.

Re:Zero had some potential, but then the MC was a complete shitter with too much luck and the story was not challenge appropriate.

>isekai is now a genre

Why didn't someone kill me when I asked

Fareway paladin
release that witch
a hero's war
Eliza
bookworm
nigga all you gotta do is look around a bit

I've been reading only through for mangas.
Maybe that's why....?

Ahh, then you can scrap everything on that list besides bookworm, if you don't like reading plain text that is

Re:monster is terrible compared to those two.

Depends, if the translation is shit(Like with Wortenia Senki) or the WN writing is worse than the usual accepted narou
writing over there(Re:Monster, Ubau Mono) then you go with the manga. If not you go with the WN/LN most of the time since they're simply superior and don't translate well into manga.

The most optimal choice would be to just learn Japanese though.

Can't say that I wouldn't like more stories to turn into muv-luv, but shouldn't the writer have tried to do more with the smartphone before going to mechs?

Fuck off steiner

he already did everything he could with the smartphone, its mostly a magic tool for pics with the royalty now

It sounds better than I expected, I might try reading a few chapters

The translation for the WN is pretty dodgy at the start. I would still recommend it if you like SoL though.

what bothers me more is, that we got publisher that actually willing to publish this goddamn book

J-Novel is basically publishing anything they can get their hands on.
In the case of this novel, they claim that the Japanese publisher really wanted them to license it (probably in anticipation of the anime)

What are you guys even talking about what living parasite? Is it even Japanese? Can't find in on J-novel or do you mean I leveled up from being a parasite?

Syosetsuka ni Narou is a literal harvesting ground for publishers and there are some that only publish narou WNs like MF Books. Nothing weird about it, there's an audience there for that hence why its doable.

So,it literally "it's magic I ain't got to explain shit".
Is the author even trying?

Nope.
I mean, the story is pretty straightforward harem power-fantasy, and it makes no attempt to hide that.

I want to die and have God revive me where Isekai """"genre"""" doesn't exist.

Someone write a LN about this for me please, we can paradoxically work this into fruition.
