I've had an epiphany, a breakthrough if you will; Dr Heinz Doofenschmirtz (Phineas and Ferb) and Uncle (Uncle from Another World) have the same character bit. Both always have an incredibly sad moment from their backstory that they can interject into any conversation, usually revolving around how everyone hated them because they were ugly.

Drew some fanart of the anime Uncle From Another World or Isekai Ojisan after having watched it all last weekend. Great anime with a lot of funny moments and nice nods to Sega games, too. Most of this was improved as I was drawing it lol.

I've been enjoying That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime, and I realized something about the mechanics of isekai.

A big part of the fantasy is the moral superiority that comes from being benevolent at no cost to yourself and without repercussion. Like, Rimoru hasn't conquered or enslaved anyone... Because they always just happen to immediately swear eternal devotion and service to him. They just happened to independently decide to make him their absolute ruler. Rimoru doesn't have to sanction his enemies or mete out punishments, because they always immediately bow before him and beg forgiveness. The power imbalances are made palatable because they are always ostensibly occurring by the choice of his fawning underlings. The isekai protagonist's true superpower is avoiding moral ambiguity.

Perhaps this is part of why so much isekai explicitly takes place in videogame worlds. NPCs do not act like people, they act like vessels for the protagonist's fantasies. They lack agency, but they also absolve the protagonist of their exploitation.

This probably sounds like I hate Slime, but I actually think it's really good for the space it's operating within. Contrast with Overlord, which did the same thing, but so much more crassly, without the charm or character. Even a satirical take like Uncle From Another World (which I loved) isn't as far off from this as it first seems. It's just cool to check under the hood and see what makes these things tick. Isekai isn't really just stories about going to a different world; basically every Hero's Journey would qualify if that were the case. Isekai is the collection of tropes and conventions that enable the viewer to indulge in isekai fantasies.

Uncle from Another World was amazing. I expected it to be totally different but it was a great blend of funny and action and drama.

Hello animepopheart! I'm very appreciative of the art you share. I was wondering if you'd consider, for posts that have spoiler tags, to also have a generic tag, like "#spoiler" ? That way if you post about anime I enjoy, and it'd safeguard against spoilers when I might not have the tag listed for it. Either way, have a nice day!

That's a great idea! I can do that.
