Crunchyroll reveals that Isekai anime dominate the Industry
First, for those who don't know, the Isekai genre basically revolves around the story where the protagonist is teleported to another world, be it fantasy, virtual or parallel world. Therefore, this type of work has been quite successful in recent years.
So, recently, we can highlight RE:Zero, Shield of Hero or even older ones like No Game No Life. Anyway, the impressive thing is that according to Crunchyroll data, around 20% of the works distributed by the platform in 2021 were of this genre!
Honestly, 20% is a very impressive number. So, it's also worth remembering some successful Isekai from last year. Some good examples of them are: Slime, Mushoku Tensei and The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat. Anyway, in addition to these 3 works being Isekai, it is also worth saying that they stood out a lot in 2021, and can easily be said to be in the top 10 best animes of the season.
The Success of the Moment
Well, it's really very difficult to say why the success of this type of work is on the rise. However, we can highlight some points that can greatly influence. Firstly, the most interesting thing about a completely new world is precisely the opportunity to learn alongside the protagonist, without it being boring or tiring.
Furthermore, another advantage of this genre is that it opens up a range of possibilities. This way, authors don't need to get bogged down in more realistic details or worry about getting stuck in places or cultures. Because, in a completely new world, they have complete freedom to mix whatever they want and even create things from scratch!
Anyway, folks, these are the two aspects that best explain all this success. So what's your opinion? Leave a comment and see you next time!
