| Konosuba. Funny, Not Serious, Comedy in every Second of it. It has a few serious moments but it focuses solely on Comedy. Its anime you can sit back and laugh at without expecting much from. |
 |
| So far No Game No Life is my favourite with KonoSuba and Re:Zero next in line Once the Mushoku Tensei anime comes out then it'll be up there amongst them as well if they don't butcher it though |
  |
| Re:zero in my humble opinion, but only of the 2010s. |
 |
| 1. No Game No Life 2. Konosuba 3. Overlord 4. Re:Zero 5. Hai to Gensou no Grimgar 6. Log Horizon |

| I haven´t seen that much of Isekai, but so far I would say: Youjo Senki / Saga of Tanya the Evil Log Horizon KonoSuba Overlord Some people say Re:Zero and No Game no Life. I havent seen them so I don´t include them. |
| I'm a fan of Log Horizon, I like the style it goes for and the concept I think was what made it good. It made it unique and likeable since I hadn't seen anything else like it before |
| If you want isekai you should probably stop watching anime and start reading LNs and manga. The ideas are more fully explored and there's more variety. You don't rely on the producers picking something you'd like and adapting it well. Isekai can go in a lot of different directions, they range from the most absurd comedy to the most edgy seriousness. It really depends on what you're looking for, unless the "isekai" tag is all you're looking for. Overlord is fantastic for DnD style world building and really gets across this vibe of "all my friends are busy and we can't play anymore, I'm going to keep this torch lit while I wait for them". If you've ever belonged to a community that fizzled out that might resonate with you. It's also filled with humorous insight about the inefficiencies in large organizations and how the intention of the executive can get warped by layers of middle management. I feel like this author really is pouring a lot of life experiences into this one. The anime misses a lot of good disparity between what people are thinking and what's happening. Youjo Senki is like, it's like a psychopath who has properly integrated into the working world explaining why your human emotions are terrible and he's totally justified in his selfish ruthless behaviors. It's pretty convincing and gets across just how duplicitous and hypocritical humanity is. The main character is just as hypocritical and spreads just as much evil as everyone else, and I'm pretty sure that's the point. The anime misses a lot of God's perspective and the main character's manifesto-style justifications. That last episode though, that was perfect. The one this season about the book girl, well it's source material anyway, does a great job portraying the miserable conditions and massive disparity of wealth in old feudal society. Also it does a good job properly showing how hard it would be to just go and invent things even when you know what you're trying to make. I don't like how bright and clean the anime looks but that's just a nitpick. The one about mom coming along for the isekai adventure, that source material is hilarious. The whole thing is a brutal pisstake of the escapist fantasy of kids trying to escape their overbearing parents. Unfortunately the anime was a weak adaptation with awful comedic timing. I could recommend isekai for days but it would fall of deaf ears unless I knew what you really wanted. When most people complain about isekai it sounds to me like an emotional kneejerk response. They identify as "a person with good taste" and have associated isekai with "bad taste". In that case there's no point making any recommendation as they will always hate the show. |

| From what I've seen: Youjo Senki Konosuba Re:Zero Shield Hero Kiba No Game No Life Gate Drifters |
| Now and Then, Here and There Ascendance of a Bookworm DoctoRojack said: Is there any rating based ranking of this genre like other ones in MAL. I can't find it. I'm afraid MAL hasn't added anything like this yet... *sighs Even AniDB has the isekai tag. |

| Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! and Ascendance of a Bookworm |
| I'm someone that generally doesn't care for isekai, but I'm really enjoying Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!, mostly due to its comedic value and it essentially being a parody. I haven't watched them, but I've heard good things about Re:ZERO - Starting Life in Another World - and Overlord.  |
|
| Tensei shitara Slime datta ken. Only isekai that surpassed a score of 1/10 to me. A 2/10. Isekai is so garbage, its best is a 2/10. LOL. |
 |
| Tons of great ones, but if you say Konosuba isn't the best, your opinion is wrong. |
| Not really interested in Isekai usually, but I found Konosuba to be absolutely hilarious. The OVA's are especially brilliant. The VA's for Darkness and Kazuma were spot on. |
| drinks gasoline sniffs cousin SwOrD aRt OnLiNe Oh wait I did not even need to. Kaiser-chan said: Obviously Sword Art Online, you might not like it but that's peak Isekai. Boohoo  https://www.quora.com/Is-Sword-Art-Online-an-Isekai On a side note, I would say Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu SO FAR holds this title. It is almost there, trying to fight off its origins as a Japanese pop-culture in attempts to reach heights considered worthy of literary piece. |

| Re:formed |
| KonoSuba. that's about it. it is funny and very likable characters |
| Go check out my latest review: https://myanimelist.net/profile/YeeYeeAss/reviews |
| The only two I ever liked were Drifters and No game no life. Drifters is really underrated, but it has a great story and is one of those animes who are made for more mature audience. |
| Well for me, in no particular order, they are: - Konosuba - No Game No Life - Sword Art Online (if you consider it an isekai) - Overlord - Log Horizon |

| SAO PROGRESSIVE ANIME HYPE |
| Well i dont think there are as many any particular great isekai, despite the hate on the trend there are quite a few good ones out there My top 3 would be Log Horizon Overlord Shield Hero but there are many others are just as good if not better from a critical standpoint as these are just personal fav |
| Except konosuba and Youjou senki almost all Isekai anime are really good. But if you want names then: Sword Art Online by story Zero no Tsukaima as comedy Tate no Yuusha for progress of MC (not OP from start) Gate Jieitai for idea Kenja no Mago for enjoyment and epic fights |

Drifters is really underrated, but it has a great story and is one of those animes who are made for more mature audience. |

| My favourites are Hai to Gensou no Grimgar Konosuba but this are good too Slime Sword Art Online Log Horizon Overlord |
 |
| konosuba is pretty good, although it'll probably lose to kumo desu ga when that anime finally comes out |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| I haven't seen a lot of them, but from the ones I have seen! I really liked No Game No Life. I love mind-gamey type things and that show just knew what to give me. |
 |
| Overlord is my favorite isekai. Re:Zero is a close second. |
 |
| You know Isekai Quartet?Its a crossover of 4 different anime and except Re:Zero all of them are best isekai anime right now |
 |
| Tenkuu no Escaflowne is the best isekai, modern isekai are recycled garbage. |
So, Konosuba has Won lol. GG Useless Gang |
|
| Full list of what I consider the best isekai anime. Note that I'm excluding anything where a characters mind gets trapped in a game or something, since I consider those to be their own thing. In no particular order: Youjo Senki Konosuba Gate No Game No Life Re:Zero Sheild Hero Kiba Drifters (I really want a second season if this) Honorable mentions: Reincarnated as a Slime First couple seasons of Overlord Cautious Hero |
| FMA 2003 The Twelve Kingdoms Digimon Tamers .Hack//Sign Kiba Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle The Vision of Escaflowne Tweeny Witches The Familiar of Zero MÄR |
 |
| Digimon Frontier Kenja no Deshi wo Nanoru Kenja Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Märchen Mädchen Show By Rock!! Tensei shitara Ken deshita Watashi, Nouryoku wa Heikinchi de tte Itta yo ne! |
 |
| "Best isekai anime?" 1.Swords Art Online. 2.Jobless Reincarnation. 3.Reincarnated As A Slime. 4.Camp Cooking In Another World. |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| @mokkocchi Kyo Kara Maoh is one of the worst, it's all about a 82 year old hot gay dude harassing an underage straight boy to go gay for him. Familiar of Zero is yet another trash isekai that romanticizes abuse just like kkm. Also Inyuasha is time travel not isekai. |
 |
| Bakemono no Ko stands out as a standalone movie, and a great one at that. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
