A show where we explore the countless and varying worlds of Isekai, the Anime genre. Hosts Laurens and Vicki talk through full Isekai series a couple of episodes at a time. We hope to find out why Isekai is such a force in Anime today and what a genre primarily concerned with Other Worlds has to say about this one. New episodes drop every other Saturday!

12. High School Prodigies Have it Easy ep 7 to 9

*** Spoiler Warning: The Cell (2000)***

We sensory dive into the mind of a psycho killer in this weeks "Is it an Isekai", only to find that it's full of elaborate set design and bondage gear. The contradictions of the human mind, folks! We're talking about The Cell. The visually arresting and suspenseful sci-fi thriller direct by Tarsem Singh starring beautiful queen Jennifer Lopez and wretched goblin man Vince Vaughan. It's pretty good... but is it an isekai? Find out from (12:36).

A trolley is barrelling down the tracks towards some unsuspecting workers. You can flip a switch to save them, at the cost of the life of one worker on another track. What do you do? Easy, I throw myself on the tracks. I'd rather take my chances in another world than have to answer a ridiculous hypothetical. Just how ridiculous and how hypothetical is the trolley problem? We get into it from (24:19).

This weeks recap segment covers:

Episode 7: It Seems Shinobu Has a Shinobi's Intuition! (49:35)

Episode 8: It Seems Aoi's Specs Are Greater Than Imagined! (1:28:05)

Episode 9: It Seems Tsukasa Has Seen Through Everything! (1:52:10)

Closing thoughts at (2:28:47)

Sigh and groan. We spend another episode going way too long on how terrible this anime is. To be fair, High School Prodigies has finally gone overboard into heretofore unseen territories of vileness. Not only is this show constantly high on its own lib fumes, it seems the level of creepy content just continues to creep upward and it's starting to get upsetting. No one is likeable and the story is barely there. So how are we able to talk about it for as long as we do? We're simply trying to understand! By re-treading the awful events of these episodes we slowly make sense of it whilst also keeping each others sanities intact. Come stare into the abyss with us!
