On this episode of Anime Radar, we discuss two darling shows, Sing Yesterday for Me and My Next Life As A Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!

 

Sing Yesterday for Me, a slice of life anime following three characters at a crossroads along their intertwined paths. Watch as they let go of their feelings of "yesterday" and work to embrace a new future.

 

One of the most lighthearted and charming isekais, My Next Life As A Villainess, follows our protagonist who becomes reincarnated into the otome game Future Lover's main antagonist. Working to avoid her "doom" endings, she uses her extensive knowledge of the game to alter her destiny and finds friends along the way.

Somewhere around 2010, we saw a wave of anime that quickly became the dominating genre - isekai. A situation of "accidental travel" where a normal person from earth was transported to, reborn or otherwise trapped in a parallel universe, fantasy or virtual world. Filled with fantasy and RPG-like dynamics that were relevant to the boom in that time of online gaming and massive multiplayer communities, this genre spoke to that demographic like never before and grew it to what it is today.
