what’s the etiquette? where do i start? there are so many niches and such that i’m not sure.

i have watched some anime, but mostly things like dragon ball. i am looking to get more involved with the community to help discover anime and get more into the trends, etc.

"isekai" is "another world".

The protagonist ends up leaving our world and is transported/reincarnated into another -- usually JRPG-like medieval fantasy themed -- early in the show. The stereotypical mechanism is that the protagonist gets run over by a truck... Usually they end up in some sort of power fantasy story taking advantage of either their knowledge/technology from our world or special skills they got via the reincarnation or whatever.

There's, uh, a lot of them... of varying quality.

Some popular examples are Konosuba, Re-Zero, and Mushoku Tensei. Which shows qualify as trash is, of course, a matter of taste. 🙃️
