I was thinking you guys were talking about redo of healer.... Then I realized this is another anime. These isekai really seem to like this sadness-abysmal

Yeah it's horrifying yet also weirdly funny in the saddest of ways that male isekais are largely on desire fulfillment instead of any self actualization meanwhile you look back on the first ever isekais (those with female protags) and most of the plots dealt with growing up and coming to terms with some form of trauma or issue to be better self actualized.

The Neverending Story managed to be about a boy doing the self actualization thing, at least, especially in the latter parts of the story where he goes through grief, aging, and more.

Oh damn that's one of my favorite films. Was made by Wolfgang Peter so existentially German without catering to the Americanized culture of wacky childhood hijinks, instead depression and trauma.

Thankfully Redo seems to not have legs like its more softcore counterparts
