| This one is really underrated isekai but Now and Then, Here and There takes is a classic. This isekai really shows the nihilistic parts of society where everyone is trying to screw each other up. Shit hits the fan real quick. |

Possibly...Kiba I have it on hold and from what I have watched from it, it looks good so far. Inuyasha (some people consider it an isekai, others don't but I don't care) Ixion Saga DT |
         |
| In no particular order: Ascendence of a Bookworm The Twelve Kingdoms Drifters Magic Knight Rayearth Now and Then, Here and There Konosuba Mairimashita! Iruma-kun Inuyasha My Next Life as a Villainess Isekai Yakkyoku If reverse isekai counts, then I'd probably put Hataraku Maou-sama!, Re:Creators, and Fate/Zero in there somewhere, too. |
 |
| Quite the list you have there. For me, probably Re: zero and Mushoku Tensei. |
 Maybe try sleeping? |
| Oh, this seems challenging. While I do find several isekai to be fairly decent, it's not really my favorite, and there's plenty of crap. 1. Sonny Boy 2. Mushoku Tensei 3. Re: Zero 4. Konosuba 5. Aura Battler Dunbine 6. No Game, No Life 7. Log Horizon 8. Ascendence of a Bookworm 9. Escaflowne 10. Now and Then, Here and There I only have a relatively strong liking for 1-5. I feel kind of bad putting Bookworm at 8, as it's a bit dull, and Escaflowne and Now and Then are classics of the genre and have solid aesthetics and worlds, but I have a lot of reasons as to why I dislike the both of them. I get the feeling there are some extremely underrated 80s shows that count before there was the big isekai boom, seeing as Dunbine is often overlooked. I suspect Slime and Twelve Kingdoms might make my list. Haven't seen older stuff like Rayearth or El Hazard. Also, don't feel reverse isekai counts, so I'm not including those. By the way, shouldn't adaptations of western stuff like Little Nemo and Peter Pan count as isekai? I never see stuff like that mentioned. Or does it have to be a very clearly defined other world? Rather than like Dreamland. |
| 1. Now and Then, Here and There (surprised many people are mentioning it, thought it was mostly forgotten) 2. Digimon Adventure 1 3. Konosuba ive seen others but there are the ones i like, Isekai Ojisan might get a spot though |
 |
| I don't typically watch very many isekai, so I've only seen marginally more than the ten included on my Top 10 list provided below (I've only seen 15 in total), and this is including my interpretation of what constitutes an isekai going by the strict definitions and literal meaning of the name isekai itself. That means a few included may not even be commonly thought of as isekais generally these days considering how the isekais of recent years (especially the ones released since the post-2012 trend) tend to conform to a more stereotypical narrow criteria which they have in common with certain plot points and archetypes/tropes recurring heavily, but I'm not judging only the stereotypical image of isekai which has become predominant in the past 10 years or only the popular ones, but just literally and simply, those which are factually isekais and that I've seen in full. 1.) Haibane Renmei - 10/10 2.) Sonny Boy - 8/10 3.) Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash - 7/10 4.) Juuni Kokuki - 7/10 5.) So I'm a Spider, So What? - 7/10 6.) No Game No Life - 7/10 7.) By the Grace of the Gods - 7/10 8.) Isekai Shokudou - 7/10 9.) Ascendance of a Bookworm - 6/10 (the first season alone was a 7/10 for me, but the second and third seasons have dragged the series as a whole down in my eyes) 10.) The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat - 6/10 Edit: Notes worth mentioning: - I didn't include Inuyasha even though it's my #1 favorite series, I saw another user mention it, and it's sometimes grouped together and referred to by others as an isekai, because really, it isn't. It's time travel. Even if there are fantastical elements like youkai abundant in the world 500 years in the past which are not there in the present-day setting of the show, it's still ultimately the same world of Japan 500 years in the past during the Sengoku jidai and real life historical figures inhabit this time period and are even mentioned by name. I understand why it's considered isekai by some, because the time travel is treated and sometimes even referred to as "going to another world" and, coming out in 2000, it's one of the progenitors laying the foundation for other later fantasy anime with similar mechanisms, many of which are literal actual isekai, but that is it. Having fantastical or supernatural elements at play in the past doesn't really make it a different world anymore than having fantastical or supernatural elements in the present, like a contemporary urban fantasy. - Also noticed a user further down the thread topic mention Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi. It's an isekai; no question. If I were to include it it would either be my #1 or #2. It's also one of my few 10/10s. Haibane Renmei is in my Top 10 anime series overall and Spirited Away is in my Top 10 films overall, even including many non-anime. I'm not including it, because considering I have seen substantially more anime series than films, I tend to focus my activity on this site and compiling lists entailing ratings and rankings exclusively around series, since films have a very different dynamic owing to their running time and usually standalone format, so I don't want to muddy the waters. |

| Huh, Haibane Renmei an isekai? Hmm... yeah, I guess I can see that, but I don't tend to hear it mentioned as such. I guess because it doesn't have the tropes the genre is known for, but that makes sense. Yeah, I'd have to put that in my top ten isekai, then. I've heard some positive things about the executioner and her way of life, but I have my doubts. |
| Of what I've seen so far it's probably: 1. Ascendance of a Bookworm 2. The Twelve Kingdoms 3. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime / Cinderella Chef (donghua) 4. Fushigi Yuugi / Scumbag System (donghua) 5. Tsukimichi 6. Knight's & Magic 7. The Rising of the Shield Hero 8. Digimon 9. My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! 10. Overlord |
 |
| 1. Haibane Renmei 2. Magic Knight Rayearth 3. Drifters 4. KonoSuba Those are the only notable ones I've seen off the top of my head, excluding reverse isekai and Fate/Grand Order. |

| 1. sonny boy 10/10 2. spirited away watched it as a kid, but probably a 9/10 if I rewatch it 3. dragon maid 8.25/10 4. mushoku tensei 8/10 5. konosuba 7.75/10 6. re: zero 6.5/10 7. devil is a part timer 6.75/10 8. cautious hero 6.5/10 9. date a bullet 6.25/10 I actually don't have a 10th isekai to add. every other one I have seen is 5/10 or below. this genre really sucks that hard huh? at least I can safely say the top 5 are actually some of my favorites, but 3 of those are far from your typical isekai and one of them is a parody. so the only genuinely great isekai, isekai, that I have seen is mushoku tensei. |
