>>287428>For anime adaptations you mean?Yeah.
>I haven't watched it but Spring 2012 had Accel World (Sword Art Online was Summer-Fall 2012) so it predates SAOI'm certainly not saying SAO was the first isekai. I'm just saying that because of it's unwarranted popularity it set things in motion to where now we have at the very least 2 isekai going every single season.
>What do you mean?I think that a lot of these shows were only green-lit because of the fleeting similarities with the new hotness. It quickly became not about video games but about being transported to a fantasy land. At that point you can just cut out the transportation and you have the same framework. Again I'm obviously not saying SAO invented the fantasy genre but through a sequence of events it allowed it to join the forefront of popularity along with isekai.
>No idea but you always look that up on livechartI might actually do that.
>My favorite is Asobi AsobaseI liked Gokudolls and Grand Blue and Chio-chan a lot more but still great.
