I went off anime when the isekai and moe craze took off about 10 years ago.

I tried to get into modern anime, but couldn’t (JoJo is based off an 80s manga, that doesn’t count as modern to me).

But I’m on episode 3 and I’m really digging Dungeon Meishi/ Delicious in Dungeon. I’m watching the English dub and It’s like if Monster Hunter and Dimension 20 had a baby. The humour is great, I actually laughed out loud a couple of times. The world is cool too.

I like how it isn’t following the anime tropes. The characters aren’t high schoolers, the women act like real human beings, there’s no Shonen toy commercial BS. It’s just a good fun adventure.

My only criticisms are that it’s a little videogamey, it makes me hungry and that the title Delicious in Dungeon makes no sense, it should be Delicious in THE Dungeon.

Senshi is my favourite.

    Goblin Slayer is basically an Isekai minus the Isekai part, it’s the exact same wish fulfillment stuff for socially inept losers and waifu pillow manufacturing machine that they all are, it just didn’t start with the goblin slayer travelling to the fantasy world after being hit by a truck.
