She's described with "the appearance of an eleven-year-old girl". In that case, Hestia would have to look like an EIGHT-year-old...and....uh...she clearly doesn't. she's officially 141 cm after checking. Also was speaking about heigh, not age appearance. But regardless, Hestia is slighty smaller than her as she's around 140, which is Victorique de Blois's height. Hestia is a loli with big breasts, that's just it. |

| currently it's 273 - 98 for isekai I don't see any problem is tagging it isekai and sf, that way you know the other world is a sf construct, but the action will happen in that world (game world). shows like el hazard should be isekai but they aren't sf, they have phantasy, magic, ecchi etc. this thread lasted for too long |

| Because it's an isekai. A video game world is still another world. |

But that still requires the world to have another world. And since a game world isn't another world (otherwise we live in an isekai right now), SAO isn't an isekai, regardless of some uninformed opinion ~ |

I don't think this is its major tag, I feel we should keep it at SF. you say uninformed but we don't have a clear explanation as to what isekai anime is, japanese say just ''a different world''. anyways, I am no expert, these are just my theories. why was this moved? sao has how many mal entries? and the movie is not LN material. so now we're discussing what exactly? thanks mods for destroying another discussion, now no one will see it, who the fvck is checking sao forums? |

Isekai clearly doesn't fit at all. |

| I don't think SAO is isekai. Just as Goblin Slayer, Redo of Healer aren't isekai, despite feeling like isekai. In SAO they use technology to travel to the virtual world. It is something man-made, something man can control (Administrator or whatnot). We have VR in our age and playing VR games isn't considered isekai. Maybe we can one day actually create games like in SAO where your mind is actually transported to the game. It is something we could consider possible. I can't see it, however, as isekai. Or should we consider time travelling to be isekai? Because they are basically travelling to another/alternate world. Hell, then even dreams are isekai. Because our minds are transported to another world and we are kinda trapped there till we wake up. So do you think dreams are isekai? In my opinion, SAO is sci-fi with elements of isekai. That doesn't make it a isekai though. Just as it doesn't make many fantasy anime isekai just because they share many similar elements. |

@SignsOfSuicide when you learn what a isekai is sao counts as one 100%, more so if you take the game Memory Defrag into context, there was a collab in that game with Persona 5 where the cast of SAO where in a dungeon and met the cast of Persona 5 who said aincrad is like a palace, its another reality and another world, so sao classifys as a isekai since they are in another reality, virtual or not it dosent matter. Main Kirito is in the real world while a copy of him is in alicization as the Star King and is immortal.
| @OneAutmleaf "Well Isekai means like "another world" and the game as the setting fits that role." I agree with you lol |
