I'm not disagreeing that Wilds has faults but I'm just amused by the idea that Capcom of all studios you say would go out of business. If RE:6 couldn't take out Capcom, nothing short of a catastrophic event will.

Honestly, kinda impressed how these type of articles ignore one huge key gameplay of mh World's iceborne end game that is used in Wilds main core setup. I can't tell if unintentional because no one talks about so people not into the series do not know or just the article writers collectively ignoring for sake of spoilers. Either way impressive nonetheless.

Honestly seeing these articles written by tourist is eye opening. It's not the blatant female empowerment prose that makes it bad but the lack of acknowledgement towards what has already been done. At least included a snippet of Birds of Prey rather than speak down towards Detective Comics literal main protagonist.

I want to agree but there are contingencies. As standalone anime, I would say SAO has more sway. As series overall .hack has done so much more for the isekai genre than most people are even aware of; with side series of AI buster, G.U, Roots or even Legend of the twilight. As a novel Tensura expanded on characterization concepts and expectations of what a reincarnation series can be that shaped the modern reincarnation genre as a whole; which can be considered its on sub-genre to isekai.

Though to throw a wrench in this have to give some props to SAO for being the first to begin out of the three. Author began writing it in 2001. .hack didn't start until mid 2002. As much hate as it gets as an anime the author has done well; even has a slightly lesser known hit of Accel World which has its own success.
