Where The protagonist is overpowered or gradually becomes overpowered

shows I like to watch somtimes, even though I know they are pretty bad... It's like junk food to me you know... your body needs garbage sometimes...

Main characters that are overpowered from the get go.

A list of easily bingeable isekai, they are all action based isekai.
I ordered them according to my preferences.

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!

This stack contains non-isekai fantasy anime that you could easily mistake for being an isekai.


Isekai means "different world" and is a Japanese genre of portal fantasy and science fiction. It is a bit hard to define, but generally revolves around a person (or multiple people) who are transported or reincarnated into another world.
Since this definition is fairly broad, you'll find some shows like "Sonny Boy" or "Bakemono no Ko" that are technically isekai, but may not seem like it, as they do not share the most common tropes that you'll see in other isekai anime like “Death March”, “Kenja no Mago”, “Isekai smartphone” or “Mushoku Tensei”. While these shows are not completely identical, they do share a number of tropes, like having a male protagonist enter a medieval fantasy world filled with monsters and magic where they either start with powerful abilities or slowly gain them, similarly to progressing in a fantasy RPG. It is also common for similar isekai shows to include game mechanics like ability stats, skill names, UI screens or even an infinite inventory. Another common trope is for the protagonist to be a chosen or summoned hero who goes on a quest to save the world, ending up with great powers, great riches and a harem of love interests.


This is a list of shows that could be mistaken as isekai since they share a lot of the most common tropes, but missing the element of being transported to another world.


A great example is “Danmachi” where the protagonist already exists in a fantasy world, has a unique and powerful ability and explores a dungeon full of monsters, gaining new stats and skills as though he was the protagonist of a fantasy RPG.

Feel free to send me a message if I’ve included an actual isekai by mistake, or if you have any suggestions!

If you're tired of the clichéd "Meet > Fall in love > Get together" plot, this is for you, as the couples in this anime are already together before or by the end of the first few episodes!

This stack contains lots of overpowered main character animes that I watched.

My stack about some of my favorite animes that I watched every single one myself, containing Demons,Demon Lords (Maou), Djinn and even Yokai.

The demons can be the antagonists, protagonists or even a mean for power.

Some of them may take longer for the demons to appear, some of them will include demons/demon lords starting from 2nd Season.

As for the rating, I leave that to your own judgement and tastes.

OP MC for when you almost always want your protagonist to win. Some are action anime while some are or less slice of life but the protag is OP

This list will include the main characters of the anime who are awesome is every way or focusing on one tactic that makes MC chad in the anime

Strength, intelligence, wittiness etc. Even if it looks like that they are in a tight spot instantly they can make a comeback.

(I will not include the seasons of the same anime to keep it short and to ignore the repeats.I will keep the list up to date)

Feel free to suggest me more animes out of the list by messeging me(only the animes with awesome main characters are allowed).

Part 2 link: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/31693

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.

Derivatives of this list:
Isekai Anime with OP MC - https://myanimelist.net/stacks/30347

Quality fantasy shows that aren't isekai.

This list is dedicated to such a specific sub-genre of LN as "action magic schools". Most of these stories are about how a talented and experienced OP MC ends up in a magic school where they train martial magic skills. Initially, most of the students treat him with contempt and disrespect, as the MC is erroneously defined as a weak loser. But thanks to his experience, intelligence and skills, he proves who is the big boss here. This LN is about OP characters, so almost every work is also an action harem.

Warning: Being one of the popular escapism genres, many works overuse very similar clichés and often take themselves too seriously. Also, most of the list includes large doses of ecchi, up to a separate sub-genre of "magic schools with erotic magic".
Warning 2: The list does not include the usual anime about magical schools like Blue Exorcist, since such works are representatives of the action shonen genre and are almost always published in manga form.
