Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf wo Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba Ii?

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. Other examples include powerful protagonists being reborn within the same world or shows mostly taking place within a VRMMO.

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

Shounen, Seinen, and other romance anime that's aimed at a male audience:

(I am only putting the first season here and I will specify if there are more seasons/spinoffs)

Unaired anime that either deserve recognition, are inaccessible for a majority of people, or I personally think could be interesting.

No open end (to some extent, in some)
No harem, ecchi, bl or gl
*They are tagged as romance genre in general, the degree of romance content varies and some blooms in sequels which will require patience.
!After completing the anime it's recommended checking out the sequels, movies and/or source materials, if they have those, to confirm couples getting together and/or for further developments.
*Please do specified research before giving your time to watch.
I generally put similar ones side by side.

list of anime about a abandoning the hero party or abandoning the demon king army for a more comfortable life... but some others are for vengeance.

some are joining force with the hero for something else like defeating the demon lord.
if isn't all some stories are about joining into the demon army so... you get twist and turns in stories so you would not get bored apparently


some anime with these themes... are a thing

I made this list to remember those anime with these theme. please send more anime that has the theme but doesn't appear on the list... I don't remember much my memory is fading

This is a stack of comedic and light-hearted romance shows. These shows will stay light-hearted throughout the series, avoiding most sad or drama-related undertones.

If you liked the concept of this stack, you might be interested in a very similar stack, but for manga, titled: Unadapted Light-Hearted Rom-Com Manga (No GL/BL or Fantasy). So feel free to give it a look if these types of series interest you.
