Isekai de Cheat Skill wo Te ni Shita Ore wa, Genjitsu Sekai wo mo Musou Suru: Level Up wa Jinsei wo Kaeta

Anime series with the most OP Protagonists!
Most of these are Isekais or VRMMOs where the protagonist enters a new world and gains incredible powers, but the list also includes protagonists who were born powerful or became powerful in their own world.


Who do you think would win in a battle between these protagonists?


Is the stack missing your favorite OP Protagonist? Send me a PM!

A collection of anime with overpowered main characters, either in relation to physically / magically or to their extreme talent in tactics (e.g. always multiple steps ahead of the enemy, knowing their next move, etc)

For anime with multiple seasons, only the first season is included in this list.

Note: this list only includes anime that I have personally watched or read the manga of.

This is a curated list of anime related to MMORPG, Dating sims and not just limited to isekai. although is mostly comprised of isekai I have included some others stories that are very related to dating sims that dont have any stereotypical trope of dying or being summoned just a slice of life plain everyday going into school and meeting new people and doing day to day errands.

this list of anime of protagonist that has woke up in a game... MMORPG and some others

this stories that doesnt seems plausible does needs to some mental gymnastics to write about them is a long topic that will play my mind as i have to unravel the logics of the isekai with ai and the simulated parallel world that also will miss the reincarnation thing. so Ive see that these stories are heavily criticized but if we think deeper to craft these types of stories does take a while.

during free time do try to think about them.

this list expand on the first stack of fav isekai picks...
for the selection on this list on anime that shares many commonalities...
most of the selection is the mc joining a fantasy game world setting...
Most on the list the Mc have a game interface...
some are repeated on the first list but is because is to wrap the ones that shares others similar traits ... this list narrow in certain type of vibe in isekai

game stats level grinding


because the concept presented by these types of anime that makes a lot of philosophical question makes it for an try to cover most of the topics but they are really interesting to me of how these digital worlds question are asked.

theres a lot of cosmo vision around this and why is important as you guys know that humanity likes to play god and we humans might be living a simulation.

for now the highlight for the list is

Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo
Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World

if you like this one check on the others

OP MC DESTROYS ENEMY SCRUBS (EXTRA): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/15385
OP MC STRATEGIST BIGBRAIN TACTICIANS THE ENTIRE GALAXY: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/13806

Continuation of https://myanimelist.net/stacks/12544

Kakuyomu is Japan's novel publishing website developed by KADOKAWA where anyone can publish and read novels free of charge. These animes are anime of Kakuyomu origin.

Main character is either OP from the get go or becomes OP as the series progresses (Will mention if it's the latter)

1. No animes where MC is OP but we don't get enough action (EX: I've been killing slimes for 300 years and Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren't They?)

I am not sure why I am making this stack. I think the reason is I like a person if he/she is a little chubby.
And if you want to workout becoming fit these animes can inspire you.

Also These list of animes have a unexplained similarities in them. The main character in all of them shows same characteristics like being kind, safe reliable, honest.... Maybe those are the chubby guys qualities.

[To increase this list, my DM's are open so suggest me but please remember that the anime story should be held around the chubby guys, if a chubby guy not the main of semi-main character don't suggest me that]

Isekai Anime <3

For the simple minded people who still enjoy the fine art of watching bland main characters whoop everyone's asses and mostly always accumulate a harem of fine bitches.


No sequels / look up ur self
Not only isekai but majority is.

Part 2 : https://myanimelist.net/stacks/32322

This stack is created for people who like to watch Isekai/Fantasy anime with an OP MC or some elements of it. I'm personally watching these or I've watched all of these, so the list might be missing some titles.

For people who are dead tired of MC's who are dumb as dirt with no competence in anything, only succeeding thanks to luck and "power of friendship".

This list features anime where protagonists are highly skilled, confident, or overpowered. Succeeding thanks to their own abilities first and foremost.

Includes both female and male protagonists. I don't discriminate. A kickass MC is a kickass MC.

I won't be adding sequels, only the first season. Characters and themes of the show don't usually change from one season to the next. In the rare cases they do, I will mention it.

You also won't find any non-Japanese anime here, unless there's a Japanese localized version. I need my anime to be in Japanese.

I am also not adding shows that I haven't fully completed myself, even if they might qualify. Also, a lot of shows are simply so mediocre or flat out terrible, that I would not wish to recommend them to anyone.

Part 2 here: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/44691

Low rated but popular isekai.
Not all trashy isekai are trash isekai.
Some on this list were enjoyable for me, others were unbearable.

Trashy Isekai Scale:
Above 7.00 = Really Good
7.00 - 6.50 = Good
6.49 - 6.00 = Okay
Below 6.00 = Bad

Ratings below 6 I usually skip.
Scale applies only if you're an enjoyer of the copy paste isekai formula.
Good isekai are listed on my other stack, Best Isekai Watchlist.

This is a stack of Isekai Anime with Overpowered Main Characters.

All of the MCs in this stack are OP from the start.

Only the first seasons of each show will be included in this stack.

If you've enjoyed any Anime from this stack, feel free to check out this stack: Fantasy Anime with an OP MC (No Isekai)

the list of iskei anime that is kinda average not too bad but good enough to be watchable.
mostly are kinda trashy... some are good but did not make into the fav picks.

the compendium of isekai anime that people usually generalize to prove isekai anime are bad.

here listed are the animes that makes isekai anime to look bad.

watching the bottom tier of isekai anime purpose is to serve as reference for what is good and bad in the genre...

theres is much worst anime than what this present... this list are the animes that although not the best but still watchable.

Just some of my personal opinion on some (mostly but not all) spring 2023 anime.

I am placing them in the best to worst order.

Why are the so many tens? Well, most of the score I gave out is high because it based on my overall enjoyment and factor in the production value of them.

Also this list it not finished since there are movies and OVA which I don't have access to, yet.

Kubo-san is here because it was set for a rebroadcast in this season.

Some anime with good music, just a personal stack so that I can find the easier, but hey, you're free to restack them, so that we might enjoy the same music.

OP is for openings
ED is for endings

One with multiple wiil be denote with a number behind.

This is the second part of the stack. Including chad anime protagonists.

Will not add seasons related to same animes from part 1 to keep the list short.
