Excuse me? Rimuru-sama has chosen his form to honour a deceased comrade and can change back to his slimy self whenever he pleases. He is not trapped in anything. If anything, he's a trap. For anyone with a proper taste in men and men-like gelatinous creatures.
Ok bro calm down
He's just trying to get that slussy.
I like how Tanya's thoughts here can be easily overlooked as typical meme hyperbole by people who don't know that that is exactly what she thinks about at all times.
Amor enim Vult
Out of all the tropes in anime, THIS is the one that you have the biggest issue with? What about the borderline pedophile tropes or cringe fanservice? That being said, I do watch anime, but just saying that the fanservice is my biggest issue with them, by far.
Borderline? A lot of these are straight up apologetic. "Oh, it's okay for protagonist-kun to have sex with 13 year-old-chan because he's in the body of a 13 year old himself, which means he has the mentality of a 13 year old." Okay, cool...how many years of life has he personally experienced? 42, you say? Interesting....why don't you have a seat over here, random light-novel author-san?
Fair enough. I won't argue that. Some are really really bad with that.
There are ways to make this slightly less black and white, but most of the time the author doesn't do it because giving the main character mental health issues / memory loss takes a considerable amount of effort and can easily come off as making fun of the irl equivalents.
If the main character only had the memories of their previous life, none of the personality, extremely little of the wisdom, none of the muscle memory/ automatic responses, and pretty much needed flashbacks to remember anything from their previous life (eg. remembering witnessing someone's death being a way of remembering that walking alone at night is dangerous, potentially also having modern police or weapons be shown leading to the main character questioning where these memories were from) or at least extreme emotion attached to the memory (eg. The main character encountering fireworks, making them feel happy/ nostalgic while their peers are terrified of the loud noises). Essentially what I guess I'm trying to say is in my opinion if the previous life was treated like an illness instead of just who they are cross age relationships in isekai would have more complexity to their morality.
what's your favourite anime and why is it Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood?
Yup, I have the same problems with anime. I just can't stand the cringe fanservice, people actually like that? I have dropped so many anime because of the constant fanservive or the borderline pedophile. It's sad that even anime that's considered "serious" or "high quality".
Just the other day, decided to what this new anime about a demon lord vs hero kind of thing. Episode 1, the Demon lord's side kick is a teenage girl wearing a elementary school swimsuit with sleeves and collar. And then in a conversation scene, the camera angle is......you guess it......from behind the girl and looking up at the girl's ass for no fucking reason. Dropped instantly.
Helps the target audience relate better with the characters, is what I suspect.
Looking forward to I Died to Preventable Diseases Due to Lack of Healthcare Access and Reincarnated in Another World.
Lmao, I feel like that's a thing but I can't think of one.
Tanya is nothing like that. Just look at how she steadfastly upholds the law of war: https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=r8FAMFrOt_mpE_19&v=TqZz_WFPDa8&feature=youtu.be
Also her main goals are killing god, and getting promoted to a safe desk job. She's just so damn competent that they keep sending her to the front. Also, she's a man trapped in that body.
I've not seen the anime in question. Did she switch voices to fool the enemy?
yes, she is basically an overpowered child soldier. it's honestly pretty fucked up but it's a good show.

Tanya the best.
For a more serious answer, it's that old desire to "try again with better knowledge", an uncle of mine always said that if he had my age but with his brain right now he would be set for life, when I was a teen.
you can reply by saying "hindsight is bitch"
I like that one line that gets used to describe Tanya.
"There are demons in this world that wear the skin of little girls."
It (isekai) was incredibly popular in light novel circles several years ago and they're finally making the rounds in the anime industry now. They'll be replaced soon enough, most likely by light fantasy, power fantasy, with video game elements which are already starting to pop up.
making the rounds in the anime industry now
were are over the hill already. 4 years ago we got like 15 new isekai per season, and now we are down to about 5.
5? This season has Villainess Level 99, season 2 of Tsukimichi, The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic, My Instant Death Ability is Overpowered, Fluffy Paradise, The Weakest Tamer, Doctor Elise, Sasaki and Peeps, Tales of Wedding Rings, and Ishura (sorta). We're now at around 10 per season. Honestly, we're actually at the peak of the genre right now (or tied for it) if you exclude ONAs and only care about full t.v. series that are your classic "transported to or reincarnated in another world" stories. For the past few years the average per season has actually been closer to 7, rather than 10. We've never had a full 15 Isekai t.v. series in a single season.
Almost all shonen anime are power fantasies to some extent. Isekai stories are especially bad about this. Most of them are power fantasies about someone being reincarnated in another world with an absolutely ungodly level of power that they didn't have to work for or earn. The only ones that aren't are the ones that are explicitly attempting to at least partially deconstruct the genre. So I wouldn't say it'll pivot to power fantasy, but rather it'll come up with a new form of power fantasy. Personally, I'm glad that romcom anime are getting more popular. You can tell which ones are for women because all the hot male characters have very full lips and instead of the studio blowing all their money on big fight scenes, they just animate the hell out of ballroom dance scenes.
Where's my man Boxxo?
"Too bad."
"Boxxo, would you like it if I stuck my dick in your coin slot?"
"Too bad."
"That sounds like a 'Yes' to me."
And then there's Kazuma, who's pretty much the same loser he used to be.
And the guy who came before him reverted back to being a loser when he lost his sword.
It’s a mystery.
Who's that on the left? I recognize the rest of them.
