Animeta sounds like fun. I’m going to check out J-Novel Club.

Isekai Mahou wa Okureteru!;
COMTA is the artist for the manga which is only up to 3rd volume, the artists mentioned above, himesuz and Ao Nekonabe, refer to the light novel illustrators (novel is up to 8th volume)... |

Well at least one out of three isn't isekai... what an all-consuming plague of mediocrity that is.

Eh. Isekai is like a western: the setting is constrained, but there's no thematic limits. You can tell isekai-stories that bear on any element of the human condition. As I write this I'm sitting underneath my LN bookshelves: I've got Hataraku Maou sama, which is about social connection and migration. I've got Konosuba, which is about doing what you can with what you have; I've got Kumo-desu-ga, which is -- spoilers -- about the limits of power and the multi-faceted nature of "ability" [different people can do different things]. I've got Re:Zero, which is about many things but mostly about how we're the synthesis of our past regrets. The only similarities are the set-dressing, the actual stories being told are completely different. If an Isekai story is mediocre it's the failure of the artist, not the medium. [what makes something a "western" depends purely on the setting: there's no limits on the personalities of the characters involved, which means you can get any sort of relationships-map between the characters. Same with Isekai: any sort of people can be transported, and they can meet any sort of people on the other side, so any sort of relationship-structure is possible. A "harem show" or a "detective story"... is so because of certain elements of the relationship map [harem show needs hub-and-spokes, a detective show needs a victim, suspects, and a detective], and can only tell stories that can be told with that sort of relationship set: it's not a huge thematic limit, but compared to "Isekai" it's a much more constrained thematic space.] |

Oh my God, my prayer has been answered! A must-read manga for Sakuga fans!
I have Japanese paperback of "Animeta!" and I bought volume 3 when I was in Tokyo two years ago. When Shirobako focuses on production in general, then Animeta is more realistic and specific on what newbie animators has to go through in the industry. This manga's character archetype and trope in this manga is familiar to fans, but financial matter and drawing skill discussed in the manga are no bullsh*t. I am reading "Anime Supremacy" from Vertical right now, I'm disappointed with its translation of industry jargon. I have a feeling that the translator didn't do enough research for industry jargon even though she did lovely job translating the prose. Also I hope that Animeta comes out in paperback in the future. |
