That is just Kemono Michi.
Aside from getting to do it over again when he dies horribly (and often), but yes.

Also kind of konosuba , Kazuma kinda sucks at everything but is kinda sorta lucky.
Let's be fair, he is competent strategist and makes a good use of skills he has.

Then I realized the grand majority of them are just the harem genre repackaged with a bit of gamer player fantasy on top and I was like...yeah that's why.
And while it's more of a sci-fi example, but for a 'normal person isekai where practically everything goes wrong' you've got Now and Then, Here and There.
But it does seem like the modern Isekai stuff is a lot more narrowly defined into the kind of thing Drag is talking about?
"Ordinary person gets teleported to a fantasy world so that we'll have justifications to give our mary sue MC their overpowered BS" is impossible to fit into a good story.
One of my favorite isekai is Moonlit Journey Across Another World, where the main character becomes just as powerful as the goddess who pulled him there about halfway into the story. However, it's interesting to me because of how unwilling he is to use the power at high specs because he fears becoming inhuman. All of his interactions with people are from a position of respect, even when he technically rules over a kingdom of his own, which ends up drawing people to him even when they don't fathom just how much power he has because he constrains himself as best he can.
I fail to see how, since the main character just happens to design shoes.
But harems are always bad. The only one I can think of that I really liked was Ranma 1/2, where the entire series is basically about the main two characters trying to get rid of their respective suitors (including eachother at least some of the time).
I'd love to see that first one. Like someone has gotten so powerful in their world that the resident god punts them out because they're screwing everything up. Then they land in another world and find that they're considered pretty good, but nowhere near the top, and if they want to get stronger they'll have to remember what life was like when they were weak.
If you think that the extremely personal scenes they had around the making of shoes had nothing to do with the romance that developed, I think you watched a different movie than I did. Those interactions are framed as completely intimate and... yeah sensual even.
Just the amount of camera focus & screentime the woman's feet get in the clips used for that AMV I linked gave me the impression that the director is into that. That's not meant as a comment on the quality of the movie (I mean, Tarantino's got a foot thing and it hasn't held back his work), just that the theme's clearly present.
Yeah if you have that interest... this movie will appeal to you. It's not even an argument someone could make to the contrary. Like Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, it's something that the visuals of the movie focus a lot on, but unlike that one, I do think it's actually an influence on the plot.
You get enough chances at something though and you'll eventually get skilled. The trauma part conceals how broken a do-over power is

It does, but only in asmuch as it's what he does for a hobby. It doesn't mean it's fetish material, it's relevant to the story.
I meant that the character in the story could very conceivably have that interest. The courtship is pretty similar to Phantom Thread if you think about it. It's his job but also what he's into?
This format of fantasy anime is increasingly being called "native isekai", as in, it's basically an isekai world but everyone is from there
dude in Re: Zero absolutely had a super power. it just is like not the one you'd want
Man, used to be that’s just what we’d call a fantasy story with exposition problems. And it’d be justified by the protagonist being an idiot or amnesiac.
Oh yeah it's just kind of a crazy trend lately that so darn many fantasy anime now treat isekai tropes as a default setting
The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar the main character's only special power is his solar powered phone can still get a signal in temples and Wikipedia.
Outbreak Company the main character is a nerd with no special powers who is sent to a fantasy world to teach them about vidya, animoos, and waifus.
Cooking with Wild Game the main character is trainee chef who ends up in a forest meeting a tribe of amazon-esque hunters who only care about getting enough nutrition from food and couldn't care about the taste.
How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom the main character was a collage graduate aiming to get a government job and ends up being made king of a fantasy country and his special power is mainly used to speed up filling out paperwork.
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill the main characters special power is an online grocery store and lucks into legendary creatures and gods want him as a chef and delivery person.
Her Majesty’s Swarm the main character is a RTS gamer and ends up leading her zerg knockoff army against the nations of a fantasy world but is otherwise a normal person.
But Isekai stories aren’t all RPGs, are they? I’m pretty sure there’s a bunch that have their dude get yeeted into another world without that. Ascendance of a Bookworm, for instance; that’s just a fantasy world, not one with HP and Super Artes.
Granted, I’m not speaking from a wealth of knowledge on the genre.
They aren't all RPGs but using RPG terms is easy to explain and then the author gets to be lazy with the world building and doesn't have to explain how magic works and stuff.
the last one sounds a little bit interesting, is that one animated or what
