New game: Isekai that title!
« on: 03 April 2023, 20:25:45 »
Anyone with a passing familiarity with modern anime has no doubt noticed that isekai series tend to have confused "title" with "synopsis."

So I thought I'd start a little game about taking a non-isekai work (could be anything: movies, TV shows, non-isekai anime, etc.) and giving it an isekai-style title that people try to guess.  The person who gets it right gets to go next.

To start with:  I'm A Cyborg, Do Robots Have Souls?

Well, any version of Ghost in the Shell (except the live action movie, but we don't talk about that).

Anyway, you win, take it away, Decoy.

I thought GitSAC had a greater emphasis on the Tachikoma imo ><

I'm trying to avoid the golden age of Toonami...

Hrrm...let's see if I can phrase this right. Probably simple.

"I can't believe my Big Brother left me in the cockpit and now I have to fight aliens."

They killed everybody but me and now I'm going to win the war and the alien girl.
