Kumo desu ga, Nani ka?

A list of action anime where the main fighting protagonist is female.

The following will be excluded -

1. Magical girl anime. There are too many of them. Besides there is a dedicated tag for them on MAL so they are easy to find. If an anime despite feeling like magical girl, doesn't have this tag, then I will add them.

2. Gender-bender anime. For example, a lot of Isekai anime where a male is reincarnated in a female body and vice-versa.

3. Anime where the protagonists are mainly female. For example, Lycoris Recoil, Release the Spyce etc. There are too many, so deserves their own list.

4. Anime where all combat is done by controlling something. For example, mecha or vehicular combat anime.

This is a part of a series of stacks that are about artistic tendencies in anime (and that border the fine line between sophisticated and pretentious).

This stack is a work in progress.

This inhumanly derivative, formulaic, escapist, consumerist and incestuous genre is one of my guilty pleasures, and in my journey through it I have found some good stuff. Here are shows which either execute the classic isekai tropes well and simply have quality, or shows that may not be the best, but which at least have an interesting execution of the isekai concept that subverts expectations or at least isn't so derivative, generic or mediocre as others.

Includes inverse isekai shows (fantasy world character going to Earth) and anime that almost nobody counts as isekai, as they don't fit into the fantasy RPG setting, but technically are isekai, in the literal sense of the term.

Only one per franchise.

Except from "Onyx Equinox", "Freakangels" and "High Guardian Spice" that even being produced and licenced by crunchyroll, are not considered animes by myanimelist for being 'primarily an American production and not targeted at the Japanese market'.

A list of anime with long and unusual titles

Here you will find isekais that break the cliche that they always have, completely changing the isekai world in addition to being entertaining and to pass the time

From Shoujo to Shounen, these are some pretty good isekai that I’ve gathered and enjoyed. There are some older pieces on here and some pretty niche things on here as well so I hope you guys can find something that you haven’t seen before. I have some anime that I’m anticipating as well so make sure to add them to your to watch list!

a list of isekai worth watching. You may not agree and you are entitled to your own opinion. Just know that my opinion is the right opinion.


If you have any shows you feel deserve to be on the list feel free dm me.



Well now I have spent an embarrassingly long time improving the text thing under the shows because of one specific moderator. i am looking at you gaussian_ and yes i took it personally.

THE GIANT ENEMY SPIDER. nn, nn, ntntntntntntnn,nn(t) nn,(t) nn nn(t) n nn(t) n, n(t) nn(t) nn,(t) nn,(t) nn(t), nn

Anime with both female and non-female MCs are also included, but only if there is a focus on the female characters (decided roughly based on screen-time or "camera focus")
Spinoffs are included separately if they focus on different characters.

Data from https://www.personality-database.com

Anime with main or supporting characters with ISTP personalities.

Larger animes have characters wih only 5+ favourites featured.

all the anime to be included here are mostly cgi or completely cgi no matter if they are good or bad.
only TV series or ONAS will enter here, as well as continuations, but movies, OVAS or specials will not enter.

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
