The exclamation mark is ironic.
Okay, so, I was watching one of Mother’s Basements’ old ‘worst anime of…’ episodes and this genius idea for an isekai came to me. See what you think.
Protag-kun is eaten by an alligator while of holiday in Australia (because truck-kun is so last year) and wakes up in another world where your status is defined by your psychic power. Amazingly, our hero is not the most powerful psychic in the world, but has somehow got himself a place at the prestigious Awesome Psychics Academy because reasons. There, he learns that your power is decided in psychic duels, which are basically staring contests were two minds battle for supremacy. Obviously, he wants to avoid these and he manages to for almost an entire episode until the biggest bully in the school calls him out. Here, our boy’s true power becomes apparent: due to him being the protagonist of an isekai anime, he has no discernible personality. So, when the battle starts, the bully finds himself lost in a featureless void, falls into a coma, and remains that way for at least an episode, thus handing the duel to the hero. Being a mind-numbingly boring otaku with no life is a superpower!
Obviously, all the girls want to bang our hero like a Salvation Army drum owing to his superlative power. Oh, he falls over and ends up grabbing at least one boob at least once per episode. Maybe he can psychically fall over and grab psychic boob to spice things up.
What do you think?
Male protagonist, so you know I won’t be writing it. But if there’s an anime producer out there looking for the worst anime of 2023, I’m willing to talk terms.

How I’d write it: Protag-kun starts changing from all the attention, which is all fun and games until his next duel where he suddenly realises his tabula rasa tendancies have disappeared, leaving him without the power he once wielded.
He wakes up suffering from a swampy bite ‘gator fever and realises if he ever wants to succeed in life he must never stand out, internalizing good, wholesome values like conformity and devotion to the status quo to uphold social order.
You may be on to something…
In some of the writing I was doing a few years ago there was a Tokusatsu live action TV show called Galaguy, which was part of a government project to indoctrinate kids on how to act if they developed super powers. Galaguy is a hero for all, after all, and he’d never use his powers to elevate himself above others, only to benefit the collective.
I’ve seen it done somewhere. In live action, I think. Never as a primary theme, of course; iseaki is all about escapism, taken to the extreme.
Honestly i have seen worst idears put into film so.
In fairness, I’ve had worse story ideas over the years.
Hahaha, that actually sounds like it could be pretty funny!
