Apocalypse stories are an odd breed. They rip characters out of familiar settings and societal structures and throw them into a challenge to navigate a new world where the old morals and logic don’t apply. Zombies, natural disaster, virus, or whatever the cause may be, the apocalypse forces its characters to rely on each other and come to terms with their place in a world that is gone and may never come back. In Tsutomu Mizushima‘s original anime “Train to the End of the World” the apocalypse is a truly bizarre one, but its core cast are determined to see their quest succeed.

Despite having the star power of Will Smith, Netflix's Bright was heavily panned upon its release in 2017. The film holds a Rotten Tomatoes score of 26%, though director David Ayer appreciates how it still works for some audiences, even if it's not for everyone.

On the social media platform X, Ayer interacted with a fan who told the Suicide Squad and The Beekeeper director that he loves all of his movies — except for Bright and The Tax Collector. Ayer admitted that Bright was a big swing, but he was quick to point out that it did find its fan base. Considering that the movie has an audience score of 83%, it would appear that he's not wrong.

Bright was a big swing. It did work for a lot of people. Not for others. I really like the performances. Nothing harder than world creation. Honestly I like more grounded worlds.Tax Collector was a 7 million dollar indie.

One of the hottest trends in anime right now is isekai. This genre works so well because it places the protagonist in various unfamiliar situations and places, such as fantasy worlds or video games. Finding an isekai show to watch can be as simple as performing a Google search, but going beyond the popular options can be problematic for viewers who wish to find high-quality shows.

There are still plenty of great options, even for voracious anime consumers who may feel they have exhausted their supply of worthwhile isekai programs. Whether one's interests lean toward fantasy, as depicted in Cautious Hero, mecha, as in Knight's & Magic, food, as in Kakuriyo, or the military, as in Gate, the beauty of the isekai genre is that it offers a blank slate for the type of world in which the characters find themselves. It is easy to fall into the trap of...
