FuyuBara said: I love fan service, but I would also disagree, the fan service can be comedic, and it's more self-aware than pandering, but it's still fan service. Fenrir_01 said: I disagree with your point of the fan-service in Konosuba, actually when there is a "Fan service" scene, it’s not like other anime where they do it for the fan, because in Konosuba they do it to make fun of the the fact that there is generally so much fan-service in isekai. I mean it is The parody isekai show. I accept your disagreement. My opinion is an unpopular opinion. I just didn’t enjoy Konosuba, specially when mc keep stealing girl’s pants, that’s why when I think of Konosuba I think of fan-service. It’s favorite anime of many people but but it’s just not my type. |

| Bookworm, 12 kingdoms/ 12 kokuki, Youjo senki, now and there here and there, kumo desu ga nani ka, mondaiji series, log horizon, for the ones that are the most interesting to watch imo. Konosuba, Gate, overlord, mushoku tensei and Slime are okay to watch as well, though not as interesting. in mediocre you can get lots of stuff like Leadale, familiar of zero, and NGNL for example. I would stay away particularly from shield hero and Re: Zero. |

Levi1108 said: Oh, another show that aired this season is Tsunlise, which is basically just a fantasy, but there's a connection between two different worlds, so it's sort of isekai adjacent. It's one of the best romance shows I've seen in a while. Disclaimer, the main "heroine" is a tsundere (not the violent kind tho) but the funny/great thing about the series is that the premise is set up in a way that will bypass all the usual tsundere misunderstandings, I'm being vague, but the synopsis would make everything clear.Fenrir_01 said: Idk if there is really a romance isekai that you would like, because I just saw your account and you seem to be more into classic romance, so unfortunately I don’t think you will really find a romance isekai with no fighting, but I can recommend you some isekai with some romance in it. That'd be great if you can. I LOVE romance shows. |

| Watch what you feel like watching. Whether you watch Rezero, Konosuba, SAO, Overlord or Mushouku Tensei... the only thing these animes have in common is that they are isekais otherwise they are very different. Isekai is after all a type of anime and not a bunch of series which are somehow connected. |
| You like edge? Go watch The eminence in shadow, it's a parody of edge. |
| Konosuba is a parody of the isekei tropes so I’d def not recommend it as your first. Re:Zero is very good and very dark. Very different vibe from most isekei so I’d also save that for after you’ve watched a few and are maybe getting sick of the genre. Mushoku Tensei is pretty park in terms of isekai although it can be quite sus at times. So once again I’d save that cause if that is your first the bar will be too high. Watch shield hero cause it’s pretty mid or slime because it doesn’t do anything special really for your first. |

| Basically, here's what I'd recommend. My first recommendation would be re:zero because i'm biased as fuck and it's my all time favorite, but it's not good as someone's first isekai, because it's really polarizing, you can already see from the replies that you either love it or fucking hate it, some bozo in the comments has already replied to every single comment mentioning it telling them it's dogshit, so even though there's a good chance you'll really like it, it's not a good recommendation because there's a good chance it could turn you off from the genre if you don't like it. My second would be konosuba, probably my second favorite isekai, but as a couple people have mentioned, it's a parody of the genre so it's generally better if you watch it after you've already seen a few. Feel free to watch it first if it caught your eye though, I literally watched it as my very first anime in general and i still liked it a lot. Mushoku is definitely NOT what I would recommend, not because it's bad but because it's even more controversial/polarizing than re:zero, because of the main character. After that, just generally the same things other people have mentioned. That time i got reincarnated as a slime is pretty good, it's inoffensive, not totally generic, pretty enjoyable, it's not as gimmicky as other popular isekai are, but still a good reflection of most of the good parts of the genre without having much of the bad parts. It's just all around the best recommendation I would say. Overlord is really popular and a lot of people like that one but I think it's shit so I wouldn't personally recommend it, but if you think it sounds good then go for it I guess. Shield hero is honestly pretty good for the first 5 or so episodes but after that it's really mid, i wouldn't recommend that one. No game no life is kinda fun but it's also pretty weird, feel free to watch it if you want though. Eminence in shadow just finished airing, I'm only 5 episodes in but it's funny as fuck, definitely recommend, but I'd watch a couple shows before it though. Youjo Senki is kinda niche, not a typical isekai at all, so I wouldn't recommend it. Read the novels if you think it sounds good though, I've heard they're much better than the show, which was only decent. Those are most of the popular ones, I'd mainly recommend slime the most, but if you think you'll like it, re:zero is by far the best in my opinion and it isn't even close. But above all, just chose what sounds most interesting to you, don't listen to a bunch of idiots like us trying to tell you what to watch based on our own personal tastes. |

| While IMO Mushoku Tensei is a good anime, it is the subject of much controversy as the main character is a pedophile (and it's also worth noting that the series contains sex, both implied and explicit through scenes (no genitalia, of course)). While allegedly the point of Mushoku Tensei is to be a story of redemption (I've only seen what the anime has shown thus far so I cannot say for sure), I don't recommend starting here since that would probably make it harder to watch as a beginner. Instead, I suggest starting with Re:Zero, TenSura, and KonoSuba in approximately that order or according to your interests. Other considerations include Overlord, Shield Hero, and No Game No Life in (again) approximately that order. |
Rimusimp said: It's not even an isekai, nor is it a starting recommendation, hence "another show" and look at what comment I specifically replied to. LostSpectre said: Ok but why would you recommend such a weak show to be the starting point for someone. Tsunlise was at best am alright seasonal isekai. But literally I can name like 50 better starting isekais of the top of my headOh, another show that aired this season is Tsunlise, which is basically just a fantasy, but there's a connection between two different worlds, so it's sort of isekai adjacent. It's one of the best romance shows I've seen in a while.

In conclusion, try reading next time. |

DurteDan80 said: The right take is that you shouldn't take any of the "pedo" stuff seriously. There isn't a realistic interpretation that works here, because all these pervy scenes are just fan service. It isn't supposed to reflect on Rudeus or his actions in any significant way. His "redemption" has nothing to do with these themes, it's purely based on the trauma he suffered, and how he shut himself off from people, and the outside world. Personally I find most of these types of scenes to be rather tone deaf, and detrimental to the narrative, and I love fan service.I love it but just know this MC is a special case. They really made him into a mega perv so idk how you feel abt that. Also I’m not tryna start an argument or anything maybe I don’t quite get how it works but the fact he was an older guy and does some of the stuff he does, he might just be a pedo too??? But then again he was reborn as a kid so he might not?? Someone intelligent please help me understand what the right take on that is. but yah just know he’s Pervy af and Ik for some it makes it less enjoyable but it’s still worth the watch bc past that it’s a beautiful show, animation and story. |

LucenProject said: I guess that's why reading is important, I wouldn't have expected those requirements. Half the thread recommended Re:Zero too. lolRe:Zero, Mushoku Tensei, Overlord, Shield Hero, Reincarnated Slime are all great Isekai (log horizon too), but OP stated they're looking for not too serious and not much fights!! Don't start with any of those! Ascendance of a Bookworm won't have much fighting, and Konosuba definitely doesn't take itself too seriously. Try those first. |

Idk why, but whenever I hear about Isekai, I just don't feel interested. I just seriously dk why it is like this. But I really do wanna watch one. So, I've heard about a lot of Isekai series. But recently Mushouku Tensei has really caught my attention. And it's also really praised my many. So I'm thinking of giving it a try. But personally I'm more interested in Konosuba. Konosuba just looks like a really fun and chill series. But I might be wrong. I'm just completely guessing this by looks. It'd be great if you can recommend me an great Isekai series which I can enjoy and have fun with. I want a fun and chill type of series without much seriousness or much fights and all. Thanks. ofc RE ZERO or KONOSUBA......is the best suited for first ISEKAI ANIME don't ruin your first ISEKAI by watching MUSHOKU TENSEI ofcourse he can start with mushoku tensei it's not the worst starter, ik there are re:zero and many other isekai but still it isn't worse. |

Thanks. if you're more into slice of life kind of shows watch konosuba. if you like more action packed series watch mushoku tensei then re zero. these two shows are in another level and they are not much similar. |
Levi1108 said: JazzyLovesAhri said: if you arent a fan of seriousness and fights, I would start with konosuba.. mushoku tensei gets serious.. It's not that I don't like seriousness and action. But most of the Isekai thumbnails/covers look so chill and fun. And now they're in my head and because of that Currently I'm in the mood to watch something less serious and more fun. go watch konosuba then. it's just dumb fun but be careful. it's a isekai parody and messes with some thropes of isekai but as my first show, I am sure you will get a idea of the genre. |

| Konosuba should be your first isekai. Your second and third isekai can be either TenSura or Re:Zero. Save the best (Mushoku Tensei) for later. |
