chuuni = basically a delusional teen who sees the world through rather coloured glasses. (I’m being simplistic)
isekai = stories where the main protagonist (not Megumin in this case, but her friend Kazuma) is sent to another world, often a fantasy one (that’s the case here).
[chuuni mode] WAHAHA! By being open to the depths of weaboo culture, you unlocked your evil eye and you’re now able to appraise its arcane terminology! [/chuuni mode]
Serious now. As I was looking for a good/succinct definition of chuuni, I found this Wikipedia article, with a great example of a Western chuuni: Don Quixote. Like, he’s considerably older than you’d expect from a chuuni, but it’s the same sort of delusion as them!
Thank you! I’m not into anime and now your comment makes much more sense for me!
You’re welcome! I kind of forget that anime/manga fan terminology is opaque.

That’s the same link as you posted earlier, but I already know who you’re talking about and totally get it!
That’s what happens when you post sleep-deprived… thanks for pointing out.
