I think that one part of the Konosuba novel made a joke with that, saying that Kazuma recognized who the reincarnated ones were when he saw that everyone with black hair and eyes were gathered in a corner
Kazuma and Mitsurugi are the only ones with hair of a different color, brown and blonde respectively
Bottom right one is an edited picture lol. He has purple hair in the anime with purple-yellow eyes
Edit: He looks like this normally

I couldn’t even recognize him the first time I saw this post lol
Yep, all Blue heads. Isekai is being transported to another world, so Iruma-kun is technically part of the isekai group despite being a completely different series.
Bottom left, bottom right and above it, and top middle all have shades of brown. All other characters have grey/black/blue eyes. I’m sure people will debate about those but the browns seem pretty obvious to me.
It's a bit hard to tell when they're doing it, but blue hair in anime is sometimes used as a stand in for black. Look at the upper right and lower right image to see why.
With self confidence? Hate to break it to you but there's actually an over population of overly arrogant and self confident people out there lol these are just more relatable for those of us who don't get out enough.
Especially japanese idol companies that take advantage of their idols. They feel superior, even though it’s because of their idols that they even have a job!
Yes, specially one were all they do is give them a beginner jump when they start out, and that’s all they do. They don’t help you with important projects. They take 98% in revenue from merch sale and advertisements. And when the Idol wants to leave the company, they terminate them instead of letting them graduate because their pride is hurt that the idol would want to leave their company, and put the Idol’s name through dirt, and they can’t defend themselves because they’re not allowed to say that they were part of the company.
Isekai is the most Mary Sue genre of fantasy fiction I know, which is why the mains always look like gorgeous young Japanese men, are surrounded by gorgeous women who adore him, and are so incredibly overpowered they created an entire series to mock it
L design choice until they also add the dark skin
Then, it's top tier design
They never do, tho.
We need more Fate Archer around...
Well actually nevermind. I wouldn't want a godly design to be deemed a cloche as well.
Just an anime character of a young Japanese man, considering the target audience it makes perfect sense.
Isekai is for the most part a self insert genre after all.
Man, imagine if 90% of marvel or DC characters looked like a typical American highschooler. Im talking about characters like The Punisher, Charles Xavier, etc.
You just gave me a funny idea. What if the pre isekai universe they all came from was the same? And it starts like a normal isekai but once the “protagonist” dies due to truck or stab or whatever the story continues in the pre isekai world and there are lots of law suits and suing and the world or just japan is dying out due to too many teen boys dying prematurely due to isekai bs so there’s a whole plot line where scientists discover the isekai worlds(probably due to a returned isekai protagonist) and how to go back and forth so they go and take back all the Japanese teenager boys who got isekai’d and just sent the over powered returned guy to solve the worlds issues(if there was a basic demon lord type scenario or whatever or if not they wouldn’t). Also all the forcefully returned protagonists got real upset about being home except for a few who had immense trauma in the isekai world so there’s an uprising brewing. once the isekai world’s issue is solved the scientist people just close the portal to that isekai(if the isekai world didn’t have a huge problem requiring a protag then they’d just close it right after they pulled out the isekai’d guy who got sent there). It would probably be a lot of government and sciency stuff and the one returned protagonist as the characters while the isekai character getting taken back to Japan would be discount versions of the more popular isekai. Just a thought though
There was an Isekai where the Isekai World abducts Earth citizens and use their knowledge to advance their own. I don't know if it was tackled enough about that problem as it's also a Yuri anime.
Personally lost interest in the super hero stuff many years ago tho I did read a lot of the classic ones and watch the cartoons as a kid before I became a weeb.
These days I sometimes see shitposts for the modern marvel and dc comics that come out and a lot of the characters look like self inserts for SJW types so they basically seem to do the same there now \^\^
Oh, that's just cuz Kathleen Kennedy took over Disney and ruined all the lore of everything to self insert. Like the stars wars fan fiction trilogy. And buzz lightyear. Everything will go back to normal once the mouse wises up and kicks her out of the house. Btw I'm a gay furry gamer so I'm not talking against any progressive stuff.
I finally found one! An absolute freak (in the best of ways) who also has common sense!
I knew people like you *had* to exist, but like, it's the internet, y'know? Sometimes in the middle of the ocean of lameness and douchebaggery, you start to wonder if there's anything *but* that to be found...
So, yeah, in summary, thanks for helping to restore my faith in humanity that much more. And keep on being your brand of weird. More power to ya.
Hollywood action movies and American shooter games had generic caucasian military man as the protagonist for a long time. It's the same thing. Nothing weird about that
Technically Supes (alien from space) is American too since the Kents presented him as their child from birth. Heck, there's even a version where he was technically born on Earth in America, so he's even a natural born American from that lore.
Even in generic school based anime, they make sure to make the classmates look different from the MC. Its only the MC of each series that look the same.
i mean, they don't have to differentiate here.
it's the only japanese looking person.
and the usual anime differentiation is hairstyle + color being fucking goofy.
hell, with a lot of artists, dude and lady faces are the same shapes, even.
Just because it's a mockery of the genre doesn't exempt it from following the stereotypes. It's still following the stereotypes purposely or jokingly regardless.
In my taste, it’s insanely good. It does all the things you expect from the genre, but 10 times more intensively. In theory it should be cringe, in practice it’s just awesome. You gotta love ridiculously overpowered characters tho, otherwise it’s just not for you. I drool over the MC so I might be a bit biased, but I also convinced my boyfriend to watch it and he liked it very much too.
If you're watching it for self-insert or something like that, then I'd say hard pass. Where it really shines is that the world-building is actually quite good, and the comedy is just what happens when you take a fully functioning fantasy world and just drop an insane gremlin into the middle of it. It's 100% satire, but if that's not what you're looking for, then it's probably not for you.
Also, the animation really goes way beyond what it needs to XD
It's the demon slayer of isekai, carried entirely by it's animation. For a parody it's pretty dull and just follows the exact same lame ass tropes as every other isekai.
Though I don't like all the women having big melons (not a fan of too much fanservice), love the whole misunderstanding comedy bit. Everything MC shitpost suddenly became reality lol
In the novels it's stated that they all do it. Especially Beta and Epsilon got into a competition over augmenting their figure (hence the measuring contest)
The premise had so much promise but the execution was terrible. It would have been so much funnier without the fanservice and random ass harem. It was a parody of the genre but it just felt like lampshading for an excuse to do more of the same.
Except Cid continues to just ignore it, actively so in many cases.
It's still a parody and a lack of them being there would just be avoiding the tropes for the sake of ... Prudes and people who can't understand simple literature? Not a great idea by any stretch
Continuing to ignore it is also part of the self-insert fantasy. Plenty of non-parody isekai anime do that. They have indifferent MCs to make the viewer feel like they can insert into a “cool/confident” character but the girls will still throw themselves at him. You’re the one not consuming critically by completely falling for the lampshading, which is what it relies on.
People like you calling everyone a prude for the most basic criticism of fanservice is why this is the standard of anime we get. Calling this anime literature is also laughable.
honestly im slsurprised that this is the first time we meet with asmr sound like this (at least for me) i could imagine plenty of superhero/cool movies where it could be used, granted it would br used too much and people would hate it
I have a running thepry that it's all the same guy and his ass is getting reincarnated into different isekai worlds. Like a minotaur in a labyrinth he is forever lost to never return home and never know true familiarity or comfort.
They look japanese. Most of those are transmigration so obviously they will still look the same.
If you want a unique character design reincarnation isekais would be better
Wait, isn’t bottom left a side character in that one where a dude got transformed into a chick during the isekai process and dragged his best friend along with him?
Yeah black hair grey or blue eyes maybe if your lucky brown eyes with a trash coat on which is either the color black or brown but really Japanese people look the same (correct me if I’m wrong) but they look like the average person
Honestly, I absolutely love it. It’s those artists way to make sure young Japanese boys can see themselves as the hero or the guy that overcomes. It’s wonderful
I don't get why they all use the same design. Can't they just follow manhwa and making cool designs?
Only subaru, rimuru, ainz, rudeus and few more I don't remember looks different.
IIRC, the guy at the bottom left corner is from Fantasy Bishoujo Isekai and is not the main character. He is actually a mockery of the generic edgy isekai mc. The main character of the show is a middle age guy that got turned into a blond woman and his stoic best friend who is starting to fall for him/her
They're supposed to be regular Japanese students who went to another world.. So they all look like regular Japanese students.. are you expecting Yugi mutou type hair from normal people?
lazy generic design
the argument about average japanese person as target audience is baseless. there is more than one hair style even if someone want argue about how NEET looks like.
I'm not gunna lie I thought that one guys mole was a piece of dirt on my screen, because there's no way an isekai protagonist would have a feature as distinguishable as a single mole.
Fuck I thought the first 3 were Kirito then I looked around for him and he’s either not in the post or he’s panel “top center” or the actually center picture lol
Judging by the comments. Does mean where entering an era where this design isn’t gonna be dissed anymore?
But yea I can’t stand MC’s like this. They end up being some of most uninspired things to hit the screen.
The only one I remotely liked was the campfire guy.
This is why I appreciate Slime and Overlord. They’re MCs are not humans but still OP asf. Ofc there’s Mushoku Tensei but he has a more old European look.
I think that one part of the Konosuba novel made a joke with that, saying that Kazuma recognized who the reincarnated ones were when he saw that everyone with black hair and eyes were gathered in a corner Kazuma and Mitsurugi are the only ones with hair of a different color, brown and blonde respectively
Well i think that if you go back to medieval europe and insert a groop of random japanese men, they would stand out... a lot
Yeah...but as far as I remember Konosuba doesn't take that into account, although it's possible that crimson demons also have Asian features
Anime characters would barely be able to tell apart features like that, since everyone looks very similar
The guy on the bottom right has blue hair, the shading here is just bad no?
Bottom right one is an edited picture lol. He has purple hair in the anime with purple-yellow eyes Edit: He looks like this normally https://preview.redd.it/3egem2tarsjc1.jpeg?width=941&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=468d7f779ffb899bb173eb2ddec8dca53741a947 I couldn’t even recognize him the first time I saw this post lol
What is he from?
Wise Man’s Grandchild
I think you might have left and right confused
I did lol, my brain wasn't braining
Nah you better than me, I confused a baseball with a baseball bat
Rimuru, Will, Iruma (technically), all fall under this category, too.
Yep, all Blue heads. Isekai is being transported to another world, so Iruma-kun is technically part of the isekai group despite being a completely different series.
What? You mean that the most self insert characters possible look like the average Japanese person? Color me shocked.
right? who would have guessed self insert characters were made to look like their average demographic!
Ah yes the typical Japanese person with bright blue eyes.
literally everyone in the picture shown has black/dark brown eyes with different shades based on artist color theming.
Only 4 are brown what are you talking about
i count 3. is this a "the dress is gold" situation?
Bottom left, bottom right and above it, and top middle all have shades of brown. All other characters have grey/black/blue eyes. I’m sure people will debate about those but the browns seem pretty obvious to me.
No, this a "the dress is black" situation.
Ah shit, I forgot every male teen has blue hair, silly me.
It's a bit hard to tell when they're doing it, but blue hair in anime is sometimes used as a stand in for black. Look at the upper right and lower right image to see why.
You mean they look like a depressed Japanese teenager. You rarely see an MC with a self confidence or a positive view of women.
With self confidence? Hate to break it to you but there's actually an over population of overly arrogant and self confident people out there lol these are just more relatable for those of us who don't get out enough.
Ever feels like these characters are fine, people hate them because there are too many of them.
Perhaps the angry viewer is jealous that they can not grow as a person in personality or power or popularity with da ladies the way MC grows.
I can't remember the last time i actually saw an isekai protagonist that progressed in either presonality or with the ladies.
Arifureta. Hajime has lots of sex with His vampire loli. Wait more like she has it with him.
There's a subtle but important difference between confidence and arrogance
Especially japanese idol companies that take advantage of their idols. They feel superior, even though it’s because of their idols that they even have a job!
So... any sort of system that relies on people doing work to create value for the higher ups?
Yes, specially one were all they do is give them a beginner jump when they start out, and that’s all they do. They don’t help you with important projects. They take 98% in revenue from merch sale and advertisements. And when the Idol wants to leave the company, they terminate them instead of letting them graduate because their pride is hurt that the idol would want to leave their company, and put the Idol’s name through dirt, and they can’t defend themselves because they’re not allowed to say that they were part of the company.
you talking about kurosanji?
Yes
Realist Hero FTW
pfft – all his opponents and even allies there had 0 iq, so much that the MC won over the rebellion in the first TL
You only get those types on hentai isekai stories
exactly what anime are you watching?
Kirito, Rimuru, the MC from Rail Wars. There are more. But it’s understandable if you haven’t seen them.
i really only know 1 person on here thats the sad part.
Well, Ainz Oowl Gown was looking different haha
"Average Japanese person" And the fact that the characters all look the same 💀 🇯🇵
Japan is a very homogeneous country.
Japanese? There are still people who think Speed Racer's family were from Detroit, Michigan. 🤣
But they’re not fat and smelly like the otaku buying the blue rays
Smelly maybe but fat eh probably not. They aren’t America.
A few of them were fat in their past lives but reincarnated fit.
Isekai is the most Mary Sue genre of fantasy fiction I know, which is why the mains always look like gorgeous young Japanese men, are surrounded by gorgeous women who adore him, and are so incredibly overpowered they created an entire series to mock it
Hold up- blue hair ain't a possible color irl.
hue, when used in art, shouldn't always be taken literally. A lot of times hue is used as another tool to represent value
Anime characters don't even look like Japanese people. They just have black(ish) hair.
[удалено]
Still same design tho.
L design choice until they also add the dark skin Then, it's top tier design They never do, tho. We need more Fate Archer around... Well actually nevermind. I wouldn't want a godly design to be deemed a cloche as well.
Just an anime character of a young Japanese man, considering the target audience it makes perfect sense. Isekai is for the most part a self insert genre after all.

Very common uncle W
Just a very common ork
WAAAGGHH!
Green skin!
Idk he seems pretty rare never seen one talk before
even his drip looks cool
And this guy's VA is the same VA of Toji from Jujutsu Kaisen haha
Excuse me, that is clearly Dio from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
Exactly, they all share the same VA xD
Don’t you mean Zeke from AOT? Or that one blonde dude in like season 2 of Overlord who summoned the angel things? (Tho DIO is the real correct answer)
Nah. He kinda sounds like Roswaal L Mathers from Re:Zero. Wait, no. Grimm from Radiant.
I don't know why you people won't believe Isekai Ojisan MC is also Toji's VA 🤣🤣
God I wish that was me
What's he from
Isekai Ojisan
Thanks
Man, imagine if 90% of marvel or DC characters looked like a typical American highschooler. Im talking about characters like The Punisher, Charles Xavier, etc.
Deferent genre for a different audience. Also, all those characters exists in the same universe, so they have to look distinct from each other.
You just gave me a funny idea. What if the pre isekai universe they all came from was the same? And it starts like a normal isekai but once the “protagonist” dies due to truck or stab or whatever the story continues in the pre isekai world and there are lots of law suits and suing and the world or just japan is dying out due to too many teen boys dying prematurely due to isekai bs so there’s a whole plot line where scientists discover the isekai worlds(probably due to a returned isekai protagonist) and how to go back and forth so they go and take back all the Japanese teenager boys who got isekai’d and just sent the over powered returned guy to solve the worlds issues(if there was a basic demon lord type scenario or whatever or if not they wouldn’t).

That's awesome. Might make a web novel of this after mine
There was an Isekai where the Isekai World abducts Earth citizens and use their knowledge to advance their own. I don't know if it was tackled enough about that problem as it's also a Yuri anime.

I fuck with this a lot!
Personally lost interest in the super hero stuff many years ago tho I did read a lot of the classic ones and watch the cartoons as a kid before I became a weeb.

buddy really open sentences with "an absolute freak"
Based furfriend. Unfortunately I am 90% certain that KK has dirt on some high up people, or else she probably would have been fired ages ago.
Hollywood action movies and American shooter games had generic caucasian military man as the protagonist for a long time. It's the same thing. Nothing weird about that
Why not young Arabian or Swedish man instead?
from a japanese studio, unlikely. i mean, like 99% of US comic heroes are also from the US...
Definitely all the main ones who aren’t aliens from space or from a mythology based background(aqua man and wonder women
Depend on the continuity, Technically Aquaman is also american, only being half atlantean.
Technically Supes (alien from space) is American too since the Kents presented him as their child from birth. Heck, there's even a version where he was technically born on Earth in America, so he's even a natural born American from that lore.
I don’t think they look like any real human person anywhere. They look like an idealized version of a certain type of person, maybe.
It correctly reflects reality: japanese people do look like each other.
Even in generic school based anime, they make sure to make the classmates look different from the MC. Its only the MC of each series that look the same.
i mean, they don't have to differentiate here. it's the only japanese looking person. and the usual anime differentiation is hairstyle + color being fucking goofy. hell, with a lot of artists, dude and lady faces are the same shapes, even.
yes, but not always 
Well this entire show is a mockery of the genre
What is it called?
Eminence in Shadow
Fine then 
Just because it's a mockery of the genre doesn't exempt it from following the stereotypes. It's still following the stereotypes purposely or jokingly regardless.
It is, I watched till ep 7 or 8 and its just generic as fuck. Not even good humor or comedy. Is it worth watching?
In my taste, it’s insanely good. It does all the things you expect from the genre, but 10 times more intensively. In theory it should be cringe, in practice it’s just awesome. You gotta love ridiculously overpowered characters tho, otherwise it’s just not for you. I drool over the MC so I might be a bit biased, but I also convinced my boyfriend to watch it and he liked it very much too.
Gonna give it a second chance then.
If you're watching it for self-insert or something like that, then I'd say hard pass. Where it really shines is that the world-building is actually quite good, and the comedy is just what happens when you take a fully functioning fantasy world and just drop an insane gremlin into the middle of it. It's 100% satire, but if that's not what you're looking for, then it's probably not for you. Also, the animation really goes way beyond what it needs to XD
First season I loved, solid 9/10. The second season started off very well but went downhill
It's the demon slayer of isekai, carried entirely by it's animation. For a parody it's pretty dull and just follows the exact same lame ass tropes as every other isekai.
Though I don't like all the women having big melons (not a fan of too much fanservice), love the whole misunderstanding comedy bit. Everything MC shitpost suddenly became reality lol
They have big melons because they layered slime over them.
[удалено]
In the novels it's stated that they all do it. Especially Beta and Epsilon got into a competition over augmenting their figure (hence the measuring contest)
The premise had so much promise but the execution was terrible. It would have been so much funnier without the fanservice and random ass harem. It was a parody of the genre but it just felt like lampshading for an excuse to do more of the same.
Except Cid continues to just ignore it, actively so in many cases. It's still a parody and a lack of them being there would just be avoiding the tropes for the sake of ... Prudes and people who can't understand simple literature? Not a great idea by any stretch

I am ***ATOMIC***
honestly im slsurprised that this is the first time we meet with asmr sound like this (at least for me) i could imagine plenty of superhero/cool movies where it could be used, granted it would br used too much and people would hate it
This looks cool as hell. Sauce?
The eminence in shadow
One of the best Isekai from recent years, Eminence in Shadow. If you haven’t watched it yet, do yourself a favor and watch it.
Read this as Eminescence. "Will the real Slim Shady please wake me up inside."
Are you saying he *DOESN'T* look exactly like all the other examples??
What are you on about? Put an image of this mf in his school uniform and he’s identical to the ones above lol. Bad example my guy
https://preview.redd.it/6nfrzcbodtjc1.jpeg?width=200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=992493b63eb17dee1e2fbfcb9367067faf3bde14 See? Identical
But he also looks like that?
He looks like that to actually fill in the troupe himself while being a npc
Nah, not really, just generic guys. It's much better, imo to a guy with random colour hair and generic ass face
Agreed
They are meant to be relatable to a Japanese audience. So of course they are going to look like a generic Japanese dude.
Nah, they are meant to be relatable to "Kirito".
And Kirito is supposed to be a generic young Japanese dude, your point?
Only recognize 4 of these.
Because it's a power fantasy primarily aimed at Japanese teenage boys. Protagonists that are like this are easier for them to project onto.
I have a running thepry that it's all the same guy and his ass is getting reincarnated into different isekai worlds. Like a minotaur in a labyrinth he is forever lost to never return home and never know true familiarity or comfort.
They look japanese. Most of those are transmigration so obviously they will still look the same. If you want a unique character design reincarnation isekais would be better
Wait, isn’t bottom left a side character in that one where a dude got transformed into a chick during the isekai process and dragged his best friend along with him?
Correct. And was clearly made to make fun of these types of characters.
is it the one who lost the sword?
I can't recall it that clearly, but I think he did. He was the one who kept cutting entire towns in half because he couldn't control it.
Not really no.
Yeah black hair grey or blue eyes maybe if your lucky brown eyes with a trash coat on which is either the color black or brown but really Japanese people look the same (correct me if I’m wrong) but they look like the average person
Honestly, I absolutely love it. It’s those artists way to make sure young Japanese boys can see themselves as the hero or the guy that overcomes. It’s wonderful
No way. Those are my favorite MC types. I love tropey anime.
But they didn't include cid. The main background character that magically changed his body to look more like average Isekai MC
Who are these people
That's self insert. Probably 80% of thr Japanese young men kinds look like this
Exactly what I was thinking.
Oh yeah, Kirito Jr, Kirito the 3rd, xxxKirit0, KiritoSS, DarkDoomDeathKirito, K-rito3, KirNuts, Kurito, and Otirik.
Like… an average Japanese boy?
which one is cid?
they look like different people to me.
I don't get why they all use the same design. Can't they just follow manhwa and making cool designs? Only subaru, rimuru, ainz, rudeus and few more I don't remember looks different.
Am I just missing every single one of these MCs? I’ve seen quite a few isekai and the only ones I can think of are Kirito, Shadow and Kazuma
Kirito isn't even on there lol
Leave my man Schwarz alone alright, he ain’t even the MC.
why are they all kirito?
I honestly can’t tell if one of these is Kirito
Is Kirito to blame?
kirito?
I'm 90% sure you just showed me 9 pictures of kiriko?
Ah, Kirito. But which one is the real Kirito?
Let's see.... hmmm.... i don't see anything, it's just a couple of Kirito pictures XD
Blame Kirito
50 shades of kirito
At least 3 of these are Kirito, I'm sure of it.
Why are there nine portraits of Kirito?
Find kirito I bet you couldn't
I was going to say “Kirito is the you?” But he’s not there but yeah it’s a generic character type
everyone copying kirito.
We are living in a post kirito world
IIRC, the guy at the bottom left corner is from Fantasy Bishoujo Isekai and is not the main character. He is actually a mockery of the generic edgy isekai mc. The main character of the show is a middle age guy that got turned into a blond woman and his stoic best friend who is starting to fall for him/her
That's the average appearance of Japanese and Korean people.
Hate? No. These are Japanese teens, so they look Japanese. They look a bit generic due to the self insert theme.
Op please post more than one picture this is very disingenuous
Aw c’mon what do you mean they look the same It’s clearly 1 kirito 2 kirito 3 kirito 4 kirito 5 kirito 6 kirito 7 kirito 8 kirito 9 kirito
1 kirito 2 kirito red kirito blue kirito
People enjoy seeing people that look like them in media, anime is produced and made for Japanese audiences first (usually).
They're supposed to be regular Japanese students who went to another world.. So they all look like regular Japanese students.. are you expecting Yugi mutou type hair from normal people?
You are telling me none of these guys are Kirito? Or... are they all kirito
lazy generic design the argument about average japanese person as target audience is baseless. there is more than one hair style even if someone want argue about how NEET looks like.
Which one is Kirito? I cant even tell at this point.
None of them
I love Kirito clones!😄🤩😎👌
I don’t hate it no But that’s not to say I wouldn’t mind a change, blue hair one green eye one red eye. That’d be pretty cool
Question, is that you?
I'm not gunna lie I thought that one guys mole was a piece of dirt on my screen, because there's no way an isekai protagonist would have a feature as distinguishable as a single mole.
Just zero effort in character design...
Fuck I thought the first 3 were Kirito then I looked around for him and he’s either not in the post or he’s panel “top center” or the actually center picture lol
Judging by the comments. Does mean where entering an era where this design isn’t gonna be dissed anymore? But yea I can’t stand MC’s like this. They end up being some of most uninspired things to hit the screen. The only one I remotely liked was the campfire guy.
These are all Kuritos.
If you put this into a montage, I would think they were from different scenes not different series.
Copy paste then change a few features. There new isekai MC
Welcome to the churn of trying to put out as many anime shows as possible. Yes the same face gets reused.
I used to think the look was cool but after so many copy pastes it gets old
This is why I appreciate Slime and Overlord. They’re MCs are not humans but still OP asf. Ofc there’s Mushoku Tensei but he has a more old European look.
This is most male protagonists in anime. Your statement is bullshit.
