I would like somewhere other than the medieval era, I would like something like 'protagonist reincarnates on a water planet' or somewhere like a cave kingdom. What about you?

modern isekai is as max as possible low effort shows, and that strategy is working, so creat some unique world is just unnecessary work))

Something other than a medieval-like era would be interesting for sure as it's rarely been done (even though I don't mind the medieval setting per say).
I would also like to see more reverse isekai overall or at least some more series where characters often travel back and forth between our world and the other world.
Also perhaps more isekai where the main character world of origin is not ours (like in Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers).

A sense.
And I'll start by saying that I liked both Rezero and Mushoku tensei, but in both (especially in Mushoku) the "isekai" has been lost, they have become just fantasy.

MC isn’t a total loser in his original life, someone who actually had a decent backstory or personality before getting transported. the world itself should have some interesting lore instead of feeling like a generic rpg setting we’ve seen a hundred times with overpowered main character. And, most importantly, I’m tired of degenerate or self insert type protagonists who exist only to fulfill wish fulfillment fantasies

Idk why Isekai needs "fixing" they are already satisfactory enough..
I would just love continuion and complition of my favourite ones and revival of something like NGNL.

If I have to give ideas..
-Isekai based on western cultures like sub saharan africa or asian cultures(except chinise & japanese).
-Actual romance isekai fanatsy as main plot (non harem)
Also maybe something like this
(ded manga)
- Also just meta unapologetic self aware power fantasy never stop being entertaning.

How's that uninspired where Tensura is probably the first ever kingdom building Isekai ever written. Idk how much you watched it both of are very faaar from "generic". But I can't change preconceived notion of someone...

Same goes of Emmince in shadow cast. They are meant to be support and they play it well. For me atleast...

A reverse Isekai with actual stakes. For instance demons getting Isekai’d and or reincarnated into a human with their demon powers intact. They have to figure out a way to get back to their world with as many corrupted humans as their soldiers to gain rank back home. And for flair have them wearing bikini armour so we can bring in the cultured fans amongst us like @Tchitchouan.

I do like some CGDCT anime but not the genre as a whole because i find it incredibly boring and puts me to sleep like SoL and Iyashikei as well.
I have nothing against these genre and anime like K-on, Bocchi and Azumanga are very good, but it's just not the thing for me, it's like a cuteness overload.

The only thing I wan´t to see in Isekai is.
Seaon 3 of By the graces of the gods
Seaon 2 of In the Land of Leadale
Season 2 of Sasaki and Peeps
Season 2 of Skeleton Knight in Another World
Season 2 of Black Summoner


Honestly I want second or third season of my favoirte Isekais. Yes yes I know you ALL HATE isekai same generic shit but to me they are the anime´s I love the most the anime that makes me happy. Im 40 years old and I love these Isekai´s becuse they make me happy and feel good they are what I dream about allot a world where people are mostly kind to each other. I mean take by the grace of the gods most people in that anime are mostly kind and happy and no focus on war or drama.

Seeing how the real world are today the hate that goes around the wars that we have yeah I dream about being Isekaied to a world just like by the grace of gods or in the land of leadale.

So yeah hate how ever much you want on does anime but they are what makes me not just wanna lie down and die.

Any new setting would be nice, or something with a spin. I would also like to bring some horror to the isekai scene + I would like to have one reverse-harem isekai, that isn't based on a Otome Game and is an actual harem. [not villainnes either] [and yes, I didn't watch Fushigi Yuugi yet, but I will give it a shot]

@WaterMage as i said "not for me", the style of most isekai is itself feel uninspired to me, the bright contrast color art style doesn't appeal to me anymore. Also, mediocre character writing and overpowered protagonists almost presents in all of them and these two are nothing new in that aspect, eminence is even worse because it involves chuunibyou bs.

I don't care about the plot all that much. As long as it isn't completely dead.

What really matters in my opinion (in order of importance):

  1. Balanced characters with diverse cast, rather than one OP MC with a group of pointless yes-(wo)men.
  2. Reasonable character interactions and dialogue. I've had enough of your female submission fetish and your child brides. As well as emotionally stunted male characters who are terminally afraid of women. Nor do I want to hear insane monologues or misplaced expository explanations.
  3. No stats, no inventory, no skills. Go make a VRRPG show instead (Shangri-La is awesome). Magic buttons and infinite carry capacity are ruining your stories. You don't get to carry around your entire estate. That's so dumb.
  4. Good art/animation. (Duh)
  5. Patient pacing. It's perfectly fine to have little "progress" even across an entire season. Let the children moan about "filler episodes". Give some love to people with an attention span greater than 5 seconds.
  6. Meaningful combat. A well choreographed fight against a single skeleton is a million times better than anything ShieldBro has to offer.
  7. Actually using the isekai trope for something other than "MC is a child prodigy". Even if it is just to maintain the fish out of water effect.


So basically I want "generic iseka" but cleaned out of all the awful tropes that define the concept of "generic isekai". (No Mushoku Tensei doesn't fulfill this list, because while it generally hits the later points, it completely fails the first two.)

Edit: I know (5) is vague. That's because I have no strict expectations. I've just realised that people in anime reviews constantly whine about "slow pacing" and you can usually tell they are hyperactive children who can't go two minutes without a dopamine hit. I imagine those people trying to read LotR... they'd go INSANE.

More original, immersive narrative frameworks that maintain a greater atmosphere of verisimilitude. Usually, this means less blatant (if any) lampshade-hanging and a willingness to experiment beyond the storytelling/setting formulas established by the contemporary narou-kei isekai trend.

Something unique, not anything in particular, just not the same formula as in the MC gathers a group and goes on adventures, that's so boring (unless it's Konosuba). And I also prefer non-medieval settings, yeah.

a good paradox mind boggling shit... with a setting in hell without trials, just psychological horror, each escape or door you pass you find your partner waifu is exchanged, you have to choose, after you spend time with the second one whom you like and accordingly something terrible happens to the other,because shock value genecide is only for memes, like 7 sins and husbando,5 waifus, 2 husbandos... something philosiphical with no completely good endings...the protag can be the driver of truck kun being punished... 24 episode where according to what you choose the show can complete in 6 episode, if you choose heroine one watch episode 2, if heroine two watch episode 8 and then onwards, like vn 's that'd be actually great... proving vn's can be well adapted but they get short end of the stick...

I would like more Sci-Fi isekai, or worlds that are radically different... maybe someone reincarnated in something like the Warhammer Universe. And also, something that would be nice, is someone be reborn in a fantasy world, with all its dark shit, like slavery and absolutist monarchies, and feudal lords, and the MC be like: - "Fuck this! I am gonna change things here..."

The titles would be something like: "Bringing emancipation to a barbaric fantasy world!" Or, 'I was brought to this world by the Goddess to defeat the Demon Lord, but I decided to instead spread a Marxist revolution!' or 'The King summoned me to save his Kingdom... I brought democracy instead!' or 'I was reincarnated in a Harem Isekai with hot elf girls! I decided to teach feminism!' Something like that. I just hate how so many MC in Isekai, go to a world with slavery and be like - 'Ok, gonna by myself a slave, but threat her nicely...' Why would someone born in a world without slavery be so accepting of it?

There is extremely good donghua right now airing called mortal journey to immortality.

It's about a normal person cultivating to immortality and having to face various challenges to get stronger.

It's very realistic in terms of character progression - becoming stronger.

Storyline actually revolve around serious issues such as when you get stronger you automatically will live longer than your brothers/sisters/parents/friends and so when you cultivate to higher level you need to let go of your family and desires/emotions you may had before so that you would be able to move forward.

I don't think there is japanese anime that would be around this specific topic especially fantasy - isekai with even as half deep storyline as what i mentioned before.

honestly i’d love an isekai that’s more like… post-apocalyptic future instead of medieval fantasy. like the world already ended once, and people are just trying to survive with broken tech n old memories of “magic” that was really science. no teenagers with cheat skills, just adults who’ve lost stuff, rebuilding, learning to live again. kinda like Girls’ Last Tour meets Texhnolyze but with that faint spark of hope.

more unique settings and worldbuilding. maybe something more sci-fi than fantasy for a change of pace.

Or an isekai that's survival horror-y. Like instead of being teleported into a fantasy medieval civilization they wind up isolated in a strange world, or put into a different world's post apocalypse.

I'd like more where the protagonist is actually happy in their current life, and the sudden teleporting to another world is something he wants to escape. I'm getting sick of miserable office workers, or neets who get transported, and it's a new start for them, and chance to be happy, to do things over again, to remake themselves! Nah, I want someone who has a life they desperately want to get back too. Preferably not being overpowered, so every day feels like s struggle for survival, as they try to figure out what happened, and how to get back.
