Why did you cut to IRobot

Manga from the thumbnail?

Tell you what i like, watching YT vids while I'm high asF, and not off weed 🤤

Should’ve also thrown in Bugle Call: Sound of War, that one is so good

Damnit I read all of them ! A boost to my ego, but at what cost...

Go watch the movie Color Out of Space, especially if you like purple

As long that isekai isn't the classic "im like in a video game" its perfect for me.

kazuhiro fujita also balances dark themes and shonen visuals. check karakuri circus, souboutei kowasu beshi and moonlight act

I read the ln of grimgar but i dropped it in the middle of reading paranomania arc

5:00 what is this soundtrack from? it's on the tip of my tongue

I even found a Witcher inspire manga.

I'm sorry, but Berserk is still and always will be THE best dark fantasy manga ever written

Tower dungeon is great, I've been following Nihei's works for almost 20 years at this point, Blame! is my top 5 manga and top 1 sci-fi work, I read it like once a year

Are you reading these in Japanese? I can’t find anywhere to read Centuria right now in English.

Missing The Bugle Call from the list, it's one of the best dark fantasy out there

Not manga, but two good isekai I've enjoyed are Release That Witch (I enjoyed its early story) and Greatest Estate Developer. Not sure if you guys would like it but I think you'd enjoy the 1st one and the MC advancement in technology and the 2nd is the same for buildings and a great MC character

Never heard of the majority of these, but they looks super cool. I'm definetely checking these manga.

is there anything i can add you on?

There's some discussion if it should be considered a Isekai. But "Versus" by One and Azuma Kyoutarou, is probably the best take on the genre in the past couple of years. When it comes to more traditional Isekais, my recommendation would be: Yajin Tensei: Karate Survivor in Another World. Both are especially strong recommendations, if you are sick of overpowered MCs.

Considering Berserk ended when Miura died. It is nice seeing heirs of dark fantasy popping up and trying to make a claim

Centuria author Kuramori Tohru’s name literally means “Penetrate the Dark Forest” - could be a pen name!

bro, tryna join this community I'm making with people that post similar content to us.

How I'm happy to see a video recommending What do you wish with these murky eyes (Record of Heiser War). Also it's back, hiatus is over after a year!

Give Nigoru Hitomi de Nani o Negau - Highserk Senki a try y'all, I think it's pretty underrated

Unexpected Christmas gift thank you fwox.

Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash is probably one of the most underrated isekai, it had an anime adaptation but because it didn't have an overpowered protagonist, people shrugged it off resulting in it fading into obscurity.

Grimgar is my favorite lightnovel. I just don’t get why it never got a second season or at least a continuation of the manga? Especially because they had a lot of source material to do it:(

🥳🥳🎉🎉🎊🎊NIHEI MENTIONED!🎊🎊🎉🎉🥳🥳

Interesting picks never heard of these, looks really cool. Might check out

Mf I love sidonianknights

Claymore mentioned.

Centuria and arms peddler are the only 2 i haven't read. Not sure what that says about me.

Requiem On HIGH!

I didnt know nihei made fantasy manga bruh

Have you read annarasumanara,after school war activities,taste of illness. They are short manhwas that are really great.they are from the same author

Thanks for the recommendation.

No matter how you put it, isekais are so dumb nowadays.

welcome back

👍

I didn't know Nihei had started a new manga series.. thanks for the news, I'll get it as soon as it's published in my country. 😁

High fantasy: the gods are good guys Dark fantasy: the gods are bad guys

Which one is the thumbnail from?

i was a nihei's fanboy from hell, i have to say im stop following his works since knights of sidonia, i liked apozims but some how the art i managed to see online didnt looked like his previous works (i dont know if physical books looks better). i said i was fan from hell but i didnt knew a thing about this comic at all. i just opened this video cause i see the preview and i thought "that art looks a little bit like nihei's artwork".

3:17 The corpse tree from Berserk??? 👀 8:07 Ohhhh! I like the animalistic vamp design! 8:49 WHALE MONSTER YASSSS!!! 9:27 CLAYMOOOOOOREEEEEE!!!! I aspire to achieve Berserk's level of detail in it's art

As someone following most of these I just want to say one thing… newest chapter of Highserk GOES HARD. SPOILERS I’m only putting that here because I do want to take a moment to talk about it. While it’s not as savvy in its world building it really is driven by its characters. And while not most of them are _too_ memorable, it’s enough to leave an impression of following war buddies, even better done than 86 in my opinion. But the two newest chapter forces us AND the characters to swallow the bitter pill of war. The hero who believed he was fighting evil and going to live a life of adventure with his friends? Gets drafted to fight against Walm believing fighting an “evil empire” is what a hero would do, only to realize he’s the exact same as Walm himself, a pawn utilized for war when necessary, and just another useful killer. Even though Highserk is a brutal nation, it doesn’t mean they alone are capable of cruelty as the hero works with an alliance of kingdoms that practices gouging out the eyes of captured prisoners because they believe if they die without their eyes they’re doomed to wander in darkness for eternity. BUT IT DOESN’T STOP THERE. Walm’s berserk rampage being the only known survivor is just the right amount of meaningful vengeance a person can ask for without it coming off as just another edgy character. He understands his hypocrisy of weak minded soldiers not belonging on the battlefield, but what sets him over the edge isn’t their death, it’s that their eyes were gouged out. He goes on a rampage hoping the flames he conjures and the bodies that burn will do so bright enough to guide his comrades to the afterlife. And when he encounters the princess he decided to spare in the past as a means to rid himself of some of his guilt… the girl is confused, she wants to hate Highserk but a soldier spared them out of kindness, and she remembers his polite and gentle smile as someone who only fights because he’s ordered too. She’s forced to see this man who helped her swallowed by fury, the smile that saved her and spared her gone, burnt to ash, all to see how she is no better than whom she hated as she robbed her own hope from their happiness and sanity as he now fights in absolute anger, and the final dagger to dig into her is Walm angrily regretting his choice of saving her with a face contorted by pure rage. The princess, who wanted to escape war, thought she could keep her hands clean if others fought on her behalf and that her “suffering” gave her the right to be liberated from the horrors of war, only to find that attitude did nothing but draw her into it. Even her savior, the one good thing about her enemy she saw and made her doubt, she destroyed, giving him a reason to hate her and be her enemy. The one person she couldn’t see as an enemy, marred and corrupted by her monstrous innocence. One of the knights fighting Walm even realizes that he’s there to avenge his comrades and tries to convince him to surrender because fighting would be pointless as he’s the last soldier alive in his squad, only to realize that proclamation was a dumb idea as that means Walm no longer has to worry about his power and can unleash it to his hearts content. His rampage being caused by the fact that they didn’t even take any prisoners, every one they caught they tortured for fun and killed. They indulged in war for glory, only to realize they got drunk on it cheap booze. Everyone is forced to accept that their actions aren’t just, none of them are innocent, they’re all killers. It just managed to convey the *_perfect_* amount of rampage and comeuppance without being an edgy tantrum. I hope Noor managed to survive at least, and that the hero gets his comeuppance too. He fights for the side that gouges prisoners’ eyes out so they can’t even find their way into the afterlife… a lot of people don’t even get to find peace in the afterlife because he wanted to play “hero”.

On one hand I'm disappointed Berserk is not here but on the other hand I'm so interested since I only know Claymore from this list

Kinda feels like the third manga being isekai adds nothing to it, like it would be exactly the same if it weren't.

"Dark reality" theme from King's Field 4 in the background. No one asked but I leave this if anyone is interested.

Guts and Caska had another child in a different world and this manga is that child

Hello, thank you for mentions of the "unknown"/starting mangas. I'm excited to read all you mentions here. Also I thing you did not sell the Claymore, haha. I thing you forgot to show the monster design in Claymore becomes "crazy alien-eldrich-body-horrorish" once reader gets deeper into the said world. Still, I like the list is short (not overwhelming). Good video :)
