I could probably fall asleep during most isekai; no pressure at all to pay attention since actually reading the subtitles will usually make the show worse.

edit: I just remembered this quote from a Mamoru Oshii interview:

Nishio: Angel’s Egg was only 70-minutes long, relatively short work for a feature length movie, so people who fall asleep when watching it really have low literacy, don’t they? Visually speaking, there are a lot of stimulus in it and the music is very dramatic, it’s totally watchable.

Oshii: I don’t mind people fell asleep at all. Since I wanted to emulate that Tarkovskian atmosphere in animation form. A pleasant and unbounded time. Films that make people fall asleep are good films.

So I guess his films are fair game lol
