It (isekai) was incredibly popular in light novel circles several years ago and they're finally making the rounds in the anime industry now. They'll be replaced soon enough, most likely by light fantasy, power fantasy, with video game elements which are already starting to pop up.
were are over the hill already. 4 years ago we got like 15 new isekai per season, and now we are down to about 5.
5? This season has Villainess Level 99, season 2 of Tsukimichi, The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic, My Instant Death Ability is Overpowered, Fluffy Paradise, The Weakest Tamer, Doctor Elise, Sasaki and Peeps, Tales of Wedding Rings, and Ishura (sorta). We're now at around 10 per season. Honestly, we're actually at the peak of the genre right now (or tied for it) if you exclude ONAs and only care about full t.v. series that are your classic "transported to or reincarnated in another world" stories. For the past few years the average per season has actually been closer to 7, rather than 10. We've never had a full 15 Isekai t.v. series in a single season.
Almost all shonen anime are power fantasies to some extent. Isekai stories are especially bad about this. Most of them are power fantasies about someone being reincarnated in another world with an absolutely ungodly level of power that they didn't have to work for or earn. The only ones that aren't are the ones that are explicitly attempting to at least partially deconstruct the genre. So I wouldn't say it'll pivot to power fantasy, but rather it'll come up with a new form of power fantasy. Personally, I'm glad that romcom anime are getting more popular. You can tell which ones are for women because all the hot male characters have very full lips and instead of the studio blowing all their money on big fight scenes, they just animate the hell out of ballroom dance scenes.
