| Overgeared (Manhwa) and Shangri-La Frontier (Manga) Overgeared is the best imitation of a video game in any manga/manhwa/anime medium, it has the best video game systems, best writing based on those systems and it dodges the shitty aspect of most manhwa with only the first 3rd actually behaving like a game and then later forget it, Overgeared is strong all the way. Overgeard also has the best journey of the MC to becoming OP, stuff he gets early in the story still remain relevant later and the display of his power level is ALWAYS consistent. Shangri-La Frontier is basically the same thing but in a manga format, it also writes MMO RPG gameplay with extreme attention to details and the writing is incredible at how well it makes the game feel real (they use some “exploits” of game mechanics in the story and they all sounds pretty legit, like exploitable mechanics that actually exist in MMORPGs). It also shares similarities with Overgeared in how well it presents video game quests, they constantly pop up and MCs grind them for valuable rewards and the quests themselves are legit and feel like they’re from a real MMO. Note: none of them actually have an amazing and deep story, they’re standard power fantasies with action, you’ll mostly appreciate the worldbuilding (game systems in this case) and MCs grind. Can’t recommend anything else since pure fantasy reincarnation isekai are all pretty terrible |

You can read the original post again to get a better idea |

| Jahy-sama. It's a reverse isekai but close enough. |
 |
| Twelve Kingdoms is one of those that only "technically" qualifies as an isekai. A person from the real world gets transported to a mythical fantasy realm. That's the only thing it has in common with the modern isekai variant. Now if you're looking for something with more traditional isekai trappings, Iruma-Kun is damn good. |
 |
| Mushoku Tensei cause best isekai, But honestly studio bind has did it so well taht it screams peak |
| I'd totally recommend Mushoku Tensei. Apart from its controversies that have to do with pedophilia (which is the only reason many people hate it), it is a very good work in terms of animation and story. Not for nothing was it the first anime I inmediately rated 9 (which, in my opinion, is such an achievement). |
 
|
| If I could only choose one Isekai to recommend it would be "Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar". Not only is "Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar" an "original" Anime but it's probably one of the 1st modern Isekai I ever seen that was epic enough for me to ever give an actual 10 out of 10. This OVA series doesn't waste any time in entertaining it's audience. Unlike most Isekais, the fantasy world the story takes place in is extremely unique. Without even explaining much about this particular title, you could basically watch this Anime a couple of times and still never find a single moment watching it boring. |
| Ignoring the parodies or subversions like konosuba or Re;Zero I'd recommend - I can't believe I'm saying this but World's Finest Assassin. By the author of the lovely little series called Redo of a Healer. It's got the usual isekai schlock of OP protagonist who is fawned over by a harem as well as there being some really nasty reminders it is Redo's author who made it. But it also has some great, likeable characters, decent world building, and a well-paced story. Only took the genre 8 years to get up to standard. |
 Latest reviews: Wonder Egg Priority and A Couple of Cukoos |
| I'd recommend not wasting your life watching seasonal anime. If that's not an acceptable answer, watch whatever would piss people who don't shut up about how much they hate it the most. Fuckin' Isekai Smartphone or something. Promoting something that makes that type of person mad can only ever be a net positive. |
 |
| Youjo Senki, because it's damn good, and also the only one I can think of, off the top of my head. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| If I suppose we are talking about recommendations to a newbie, I'd recommend Overlord or Tensura because they are a great introduction to the genre. After them I'd go with Re:Zero and Konosuba because I think they are the best at what they do. |
| I am surprised no one is talking about Re:Zero .. The best isekai anime of all time in my opinion... |
| Haven't found a good anime dialogue to copy yet!! |
| Never watched too many isekais because I just don't really like this genre. However, the one that I actually enjoyed while watching is That time I got reincarnated as a slime. I don't you need any brains to watch this. The MC is also not edgy and annoying in my opinion. |
 |
| If by chance you play Samurai Warriors or Warriors Orochi, then you should try Drifters. The cast is a host of familiar historical figures and clever strategy-based combats (seriously, using feces as an agent for gunpowder? some resourceful shit). Animation is up to par with its many hectic and violent fight sequences. Also, banger ost selection. |
 |
| The Cat Returns. Why? Bcoz no one watches it. I mean it's a Ghibli movie. |
| If the person don't mind ecchi stuff, then Mushoku Tensei. If the person is a non-anime fan, then Spirited Away. If the person is an anime fan but a stranger, then Tensura. |
| Probably mushoku tensei since it’s my favourite isekai and it’s so gooooood |
| If it was a beginner, probably That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. The best-done isekai that I've ever seen: a driven plot, likeable characters, great world building. For a more experienced watcher, Mushoku Tensei, because it's so good lmao. |
 |
| Probably Re:Zero or Konosuba. I feel like they have the broadest appeal, at least out of what I have seen. |
   |
| Mushoku Tensei and Rezero, both has great animation and story with well written characters unlike other modern isekai |
 |
| Mushoku Tensei is peak fiction, I recommend it to everyone. |
| (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞ YouTube @ The Pirate Collector ԅ( ͒ ͒ )ᕤ |
| Digimon or Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! |
 |
| Konosuba coz of the best comedy isekai anime |
| Probably Re:zero and Konosuba. Happy 2022! |
 Maybe try sleeping? |
| Welcome to the NHK, because it's gimmick is that trucks weren't invented yet, which makes the reincarnation part literally non existent, so it has more time on the actual story, and to ensure that the viewers are familiar with the setting, they didn't simply used the generic isekai setting, but straight up the real world. 10/10 isekai Or like Mushoku Tensei I guess. |
 |
| Overlord. Be it my personal bias or actual quality, it's just straight-up fun! Essentially, it is a show where the main character is a veteran player who is getting nostalgic for his old game and relives the memories on the server for the final day of online. In the final moments, he sits at his throne and closes his eyes, expecting a message saying "thanks for playing!". But instead, he opens his eyes, and he's still there, but something is wrong. His menu is gone. And if you are interested watch it! It's made by madhouse and while the CGI in the later seasons is a little worse, it still has an active fanbase with a season 4 and movie coming out this year. |
| I'd recommend Mushoku Tensei The characters are badly written, the world building is nearly non existent, the script is a mess, the main character is a pedocon, but the animation and music are good |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Kafka, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Topaz and Huohuo. |
Re:Creators https://myanimelist.net/anime/34561/Re_Creators Why? Because you said, "If you had to recommend one." |
| Re:zero. It is one of my favorites. Mostly because I like time travel concepts and this one takes it to another level. |
 |
| Juuni Kokuki - great worldbuilding with a lot of unique concepts, good character growth with a good story. |
 |
| Like others already mentioned, the answer is still 12 Kingdoms. Despite being unfinished, it's still the best in terms of worldbuilding, characters, character development/growth etc. |
| You're a louse, Roger Smith. - R. Dorothy Wayneright This is my fight! No Senpai, this is our fight! - Kojou Akatsuki & Yukina Himeragi  |
| I recommend Overlord because the mc is op and he takes over the world. He has op supports as well. Anime has good worldbuilding |
| No game no life and mushoku tensei Both of these are one pretty unconventional to the meta isekai stuff and thats what makes them better than most if not all of the other isekai trash,granted that shows like konosuba are pretty different in their own ways too but the problem with them is that they arent as open and diverse as ngnl or jobless reincarnation,the comedy is all there is to them and that aint bad but it just isn't amazing,there are certain obstacles they will never possibly cross unless they change the very theme of their world,which i am pretty sure is hella hard for a mangaka/author to do,take it or not,comedy us forgettable but an Impactful story,relatable characters and a solid plot aren't....there is still a fair amount of fan service and ecchi scenes but its what akes up for them is important,the best thing about mushoku tensei is that it deliberately creates those moments and then goes full on with wholesome stuff which is pretty genius and no game no life is a battle of wits kinda setting,which is pretty amazing on its own. |
 |
| I would never be so cruel as to recommend someone an isekai anime. Nobody deserves such a medieval punishment. |
 |
| If you're limiting it to only one, it's kind of hard to top The Twelve Kingdoms. Convincingly feels as if you've been transported to another world. |
 |
| juuni kokuki : Adventure but mostly fantasy historical. it's 45 episodes long and can be frustrating at times, but my god is it worth it. honzuki no gekokujou : slice of life and Myne can make errors even if she's stupidly smart. If you like dr.stone you may like this one. digimon adventure: simple, actions. and has great moments. would recommend when you want something light, you could get invested in it though. |
 |
| No Game No Life if they are still kinda new into anime and haven't watched much or Mushoku Tensei once they know that not all anime will be like Mushoku Tensei with the more perverted nature in some scenarios |
