Isekai Ojisan

So I binged the whole series this weekend. Which is very meta, if you look at it as the main characters basically Binge-watching 17 years of uncle's Isekai adventure.

(Okay, weird thing going on here, in Firefox I have no access to the editing palette. Update, Fixed?)

Uncle's magic still working in the real world is an interesting twist. I was a bit disappointed that the appearance of the Tsundere Elf in the OP was just a transformation, and not that he found a way to bring her here. They sure seem to be hinting at it for season 2 if it happens after the final credits, but who can say for sure.

1 Did you read Sheckley's "Armor"? It has a major element in a similar style.

2 No, I hadn't heard of it before. Worth looking into?
(Oh, and just noticed a typo that needs fixing....)

3 I thought "Armor" was pretty good, although it wasn't my cup to re-read, even having it on paper. I saw references to it by peer sci-fi authors, by the way. Author's name is spelled correctly as John Steakley.

4 Hmmm, 1984 vintage, and DAW still wants $10 for the eBook.

And there's one of those terrible auto-generated "Study Guide" rip-offs of it out....
