If your group of friends is like most, its members have a wide variety of interests and priorities. That's why anime recommendations for friends aren't a one-size-fits-all type of deal. Sure, you can recommend your personal favorites regardless of your friend's preferences, but you should also keep what they like in mind when giving anime advice. You don't want to recommend Naruto or Dragon Ball Z to a seasoned anime fan unless you know for a fact that they haven't seen it. Likewise, you don't want to suggest Monster Musume to someone who recoils at fan service, or Black Lagoon to someone who hates brutal scenes.

This guide will give you tips to help you tailor your anime suggestions toward your friends' interests. The more spot-on the choice, the more likely it is you'll convert a reluctant viewer into a lifelong anime fan.

You go to, or use a electronic terminal, "warp", go. Full VR Immersion ensues.
Or your world needs to run on internet Infrastructure. At least a relevant part of it.

Not complete by any means, but it's there.

Using here a more loose definition of a Metaverse, as made by a group, or some organization.

From the Snow Crash story: "When Hiro goes into the Metaverse and looks down the Street and
sees buildings and electric signs stretching off into the darkness,
disappearing over the curve of the globe, he is actually staring at the graphic
representations -- the user interfaces -- of a myriad different pieces of
software that have been engineered by major corporations."

Anime with girls, who really, really, really, really, REALLY like someone, but too tsundere to admit it, if that’s what you want.

Sword art online anime list to find out correct watch order and learn little bit about SAO. Listed in a chronological order, without overcomplicating content like recaps or 'super extra' content.
Anything that doesn't necessarily better your anime viewing experience isn't included in this list. This list is for people who want enjoy watching Sword art online without annoyance. The novels are probably good read if you want more SAO.

Some specials like Gun Gale Online are in middle of main story, for if it is more in par with one season (this case 2nd season) than others.

I share some of my opinions of the entries on this list. It might tell you little details on composition of the SAO series, but most of it is just my opinions and shouldn't spoil anything.

Shouldn't contain any major spoilers.

Collection of anime that are widely considered influential, iconic or popular.

Have you ever wanted to understand all the anime tropes, memes and references? This is the list you are looking for.

Many anime take elements from prior made ones and mix them into something new. The anime on this list are the origin of various genre tropes and character archetypes. Here you'll find everything from the first "Kamehameha", the origin of tsundere girls, and the source of various memes and reaction images.

Honorable mentions: I chose not to include anime that are unlikely to get picked up due to their age or because they were never really popular outside of Japan, nevertheless I want to mention them here because they were still very important for the anime industry:
Astro Boy (1963), Gigantor (1963), Speed Racer (1967), Sazae-san (1969), Lupin III (1971), Doraemon (1973), Mobile Suit Gundam (1979), Urusei Yatsura (1981).

I also wanted to add Boku no Pico to this list but MAL didn't let me.

(Stack is still under construction and being permanently updated.)

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

first part link
https://myanimelist.net/stacks/4807

the highlight of the first part is inspired on
*--Mushoku Tensei
*--Rising of the shield Hero
*--That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
*--Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs
*--Konosuba


Enjoy

*update ongoing optimization...
