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.
