So many people think that when Trump leaves his mortal boil things will “get better”.
But actually, what are the odds that the next sellout-in-chief will be as stupid as Trump? We’re just getting started
I have to say Trump is a fairly unique distillation of every aspect of American society that Americans don’t like to admit they have. He has plenty of vain, self-serving sycophants under him that could take his place, but I will say there are very few who have the same mix of incompetence, shamelessness and charisma draw for a certain populace.
I like to say he is America’s Id made manifest.
I feel like you just jinxed us with a Joe Rogan presidency. WTF, dude.
In Return Of The King when the tower explodes the orcs and trolls that ran off all went and founded Florida.
Look the only thing that matters if I get fucking Isekai’d is that I am a woman in that world. The governments can go fuck themselves if I get my wish, ain’t wasting time on being a fucking hero. Stop glorifying the hero grind and instead glorify whatever the hell having tea on the grass next to the (not polluted) Thames with a water rat and mole while wearing a cute sundress is.
I’m reminded of the manga (something about “I don’t really get it but I’m…) and she creates a bunch of horny toys and does yuri stuff.
I actually was going kind of the opposite direction than sex stuff, but you know, whatever floats your boat.
Bad Guy: You know what Naruto, you’re right, I was wrong. Let me just unkill all those people I just killed.
Naruto: Cheers
Bad Guy: I cant really walk around in public anymore so I’m gonna just fade into aether and die.
Naruto: That would be great, thanksSorry no unsekai for you
That last one, is sorta just GATE
Really like the concept of modern technology interacting with feudal realms able to use magic, so GATE scratched that itch really well.
The fan service and the constant presence of lolis kinda ruined it though.
It was fun to watch, but got old fast with pretty much every problem being solved by superior technology and firepower. Power fantasies are only compelling when the protagonists problems aren’t solved by their strength, like with One-Punch Man
That’s why I never touched it; the whole thing sounds like boring neocolonial milprop. If it’s essentially a modern army vs. a medieval country with flying lizards, how is it any different from when the USA go shit all over a third world nation and then give themselves an award for being such great warriors?
My expectations may be colored by growing up in an age where RTSes were a thing but wouldn’t a more balanced fantasy adversary lead to more interesting scenarios?
Like trying to do counterintelligence against someone who can use clairvoyance to listen in on your meetings. Or stopping saboteurs with access to invisibility spells. Or the fantasy guys figuring out how to do magical EMPs, taking your telecommunications and modern vehicles out of commission so you have to use message carriers and jury-rig technicals out of vintage cars.
I dunno, kinda sounds more interesting to me than the “modern military equipment is superior to a medieval army” that everyone always describes the show as.

Apparently the LN’s effectively turn into that. The anime got too boring before that point and didn’t get a 3rd season. Also I think the author went to prison for several years for tax evasion
Then it’s not a power fantasy. You just don’t like power fantasies. (One punch man is a parody)
To be honest, it was my brain off show for a while so the simple solution of “better technology more better” was enough.
But I totally get your point, and One-Punch man is a great example.
Is there a parody here? These just seem like completely normal anime titles to me.
Unexpected Laundry Files
The last one sounds like a modern manga title
