Though the funny thing is, this also means that 'Isekai' type situations do happen a fair bit -- in movies. There's countless Rider and Sentai movies that have our heroes transported to an alternate universe for a jaunt, and I think it's in those you could really see the potential for this type of story.

I do agree with you saying that toku has dabbled a bit in the isekai concept in the past.

The thing is though that isekai means 'different world'. It's just that there's been too many isekais taking place in a medieval Europe-like location or fantasy land. There's no rule stating that an isekai series has to take place in a similar location like that. Hell, I found an isekai series where a guy got reincarnated into some sort of sci-fi space age realm! (I forgot the name of it.) There's no rule saying that isekai can't take place within an urban-like realm.

This is why I say that the isekai is wasting its potential.
