So we have a case of temporal displacement.

Actually, I've just spotted a displacement of another sort which u could say changes the meaning of my comment. 

Crap, are we in a time loop? Like Groundhog Day or When they Cry or Christmas Every Day?

Sometimes I think we are, other times I'm not so sure.

.. or the Endless Eight arc in Suzumiya Haruhi no yûutsu?  Could be. 

That would at least explain the sense of deja vu I get every time I watch a "new" isekai or reincarnation anime lately.

I've only seen YouTube clips from the recent crop of isekai anime, but why do they all appear to be set in a video game based on the Middle Ages?

It wasn't always like that, Vision of Escaflowne, Magic Knight Rayearth and Fushigi Yugi are all very different from each other. Although they're all quite old now and come from the time before isekai was called isekai.

YKYITFW electric cars have taken over the high-performance car market.  A 1.74s 0-60 makes Tesla's model X 1.99 second time seem positively sluggish.

Of course, you can by over 20 model Xs for the price of one Nevera. 

Some things never change.
