Truck Manufacturer Blames Anime Deaths for Recent Bad Press

As a long-time gamer and avid anime fan, I have to admit that I’m thoroughly enjoying the current boom of Isekai anime series. The genre’s blend of fantasy and reality has always been intriguing to me, and shows like Sword Art Online, Overlord, Inuyasha, and Mushoku Tensei have provided endless hours of entertainment. Isekai has even made it into the English dictionary this year!


The Isekai genre is gaining significant popularity in the anime industry, and rightfully so. It usually revolves around ordinary protagonists who are suddenly transported to extraordinary worlds. Shows like “Sword Art Online,” “Overlord,” “Inuyasha,” and “Mushoku Tensei” are just a few examples that have contributed to this genre’s growth. Isekai has even made it into the English language lexicon recently. However, it seems that not everyone is thrilled about its success. In a recent interview, a truck manufacturer expressed their concern over anime’s impact on their industry in an unexpected way.

As a gamer and avid anime fan, I’ve noticed an intriguing issue raised by a Japanese transportation manager in a recent interview. They’ve expressed concern over the prevalence of anime characters being hit and killed by trucks. This trope is quite common in Isekai anime, and according to the manager, it has had a significant impact on their industry.

The Dangers of Isekai

As a gamer, I’d put it this way: “The boss brought up an interesting point about how public perception of trucks could change. While I get that free speech is important, I hope they find a way to counteract any negative representation with positive messages.”

One fortunate turn of events for one of today’s most popular Isekai series is that its key elements weren’t spoofed by passing trucks. The ongoing first season of “DC’s Suicide Squad in Another World” has already introduced anime fans to the notorious supervillains of DC Comics. Regardless if this unconventional Suicide Squad gets renewed for another round, the Isekai genre is poised to remain a significant player in the anime scene.
