Kind of funny that 2/5 of the series that I'm watching that appear in this list were things that I picked on a whim - 2.5D Seduction and Bye, Bye Earth. (The other three are Isekai Shikkaku, Failure Frame, and TenSura s3.)
Outside of Oshi No Ko, and Tower Of God, there's nothing that is really grabbing me this season...
I'm also watching:
I Parry Everything (Earnest, but meh.)
Dungeon No Naka No Hito (meh.)
The Fable (restarting a new story arc is expectedly slow, but waiting for a payoff)
DeDeDeDe Destruction (A really dark take on Doraemon, I sorta like it, but it's difficult to watch)
Tasuuketsu (There's supposed to be some big brain stuff in there, but it's too confusing. And cheap production values)
Senpai wa Otokonoko (low key, but also feels boring. MC is a bit too boring so far)
Nokotan (It's wild but is it funny?)
Bye Bye Earth (It's pretentious to the point of having no meaning)
Kinnikuman (Production I.G. does goofy battle-of-the-week anime-ized pro wrestling)
Mayonaka Punch (Like Call Of The Night, but with a Youtuber?)
Dropped:
Plus Sized Elf (smells like one joke)
QA Isekai (boring direction doesn't bode well)
No Longer Allowed In Another World (meh, not my style of humor)
Want To Try:
Elusive Samurai
Roshidere
VTuber
Grendizer U
Ramen Akaneko
Wistoria
Narenare
You found the perfect word to describe Bye Bye Earth - pretentious. So far I'm watching it to see if it flies or crashes under my radar.
I'll give Tower of God a check, I don't recall why I skipped it in 2020.
Not a single isekai in the top 15?
Is isekai owari?
I'm also surprised.
I think larger studios might be focusing on stuff that is likely to be popular with the kids at home for the summer vacations in Japan; if that's correct odds are that the next season will see more isekai again in the top 15.
