The Oxford English Dictionary has added 23 Japanese words, including "isekai"
The Guardian: The Oxford English Dictionaryโ€™s latest update adds 23 Japanese words

IGN wrote an article where they suggest that there is a shift in the manga/anime community where the meaning of "isekai" is changing to any story set in another world and that stories where a character is transported to a different world should be called "isekaitensei".
Frieren would thus be considered an isekai.
Twitter: Isekai, one of the most popular genres in anime and manga, is now officially in the Oxford English Dictionary. However, it may not mean what you think. https://bit.ly/49k7jZY

    English already has a word for that: FANTASY.

    I love your animations, and the models used!!! Please keep doing more, I love it! (Edit: Why the downvotes?)

    Possibly because this isn't a website where people upload their own stuff. Your comment isn't reaching the author just other people on this site. Does that make sense?

    Context: The Miku Expo concert for NA and Europe are not using holograms and just a LED screen. More or less a scam considering the ticket prices.

    A virtual pop star appeared at her live concerts in just 2D โ€” and fans are throwing fits

    Why do they always have to phrase it in such a way that it makes fans look bad? If I paid $55 for a hologram show and I got a video on a screen, I'd be furious too. It's not a question of "throwing fit".
    But hey, on the bright side, there's no balls pit this time.

    Typical "Business" Insider article; they know nothing about any "business" they wrote about.

    This is disappointing and frustrating, yet also makes me feel better about not being able to get tickets this year.

    What really annoys me isn't that they're ignorants, I have come to expect it from journalists, they just report stuff, they don't know anything about it. What really get under my skin is how they phrase it to portray fans as having unrealistic expectations.
