| How is this not a thing??? Isekai is so massive it has whole subgenres and unique cliches that are so well known there are practically parodies of their parodies. The list of anime is extensive, but the number of manga, light novels, and web novels are beyond counting! Aside from isege like SAO and Log Horizon which are debatably on the edge of the isekai genre, it's subgenres and tropes include adventuring, worldbuilding, politics, and drama; I love isekai for it's ridiculously unlikely heroes, and how authors compensate in originality for the genre's limits and cliches by by coming up with settings, stories and characters even weirder and wackier than the last, bending reality until something sticks with the readers. Heck, today I found a massive otome game niche in the isekai genre. Now I'm not saying to add every subgenre, but when they're this prevalent, how is even the umbrella genre not on MAL? As a genre born in Japan, like mecha, and with it's massive boom and relative endurance in popularity, it couldn't be more deserving of it's own tag. |

| Yes, indeed. prediction: this will be merged with similar topics asking for the same thing and then nothing will happen again. |

| ye why not since isekai is so abundant like in the glory days of mecha |
| There are so much "isekai" type anime,manga, and novel it might aswell have it's own genre do you agree with me? |
KlinyKlinn said: There are so much "isekai" type anime,manga, and novel it might aswell have it's own genre do you agree with me? Yes, and again, it will likely get merged with similar thread and nothing happens again. However the petition might be an interesting idea. Suggestions usually get ignored, but if it would be something lots of members express they would like a tag like this, it might could do something. |
| like this should be added already, mangarock already has this so why not MAL aswell, if it's added it might actually be a popular genre though some people will hate cause it's too mainstream |
| Yes that is a great idea. With the rising number of isekais having an isekai recognize as an official genre would make sense.  |
 |
| isekai = fantasy so no need to add it. |

Cnon said: that is a really simplistic point of view; assuming that what you are saying was true, adventure=action, comedy=harem=ecchi, just because they share some points in common/emerged long time ago as a "subgenre" of this one.isekai = fantasy so no need to add it. |
| Enjoy the ride... |
| Oh boy here we go again. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
just because it's a bad genre doesn't mean it can't happen. have you seen what's coming out lately? there's always atleast 1 isekai that get's released every season. Cnon said: isekai = fantasy so no need to add it. that's no way to put it. a lot of fantasy anime isn't even isekai so a subgenre might be a cool feature |

| I agree. It would be easier to avoid them. |
| I totally agree that "isekai" should be considered as a different genre. It would be useful mostly to differ genuinely fantasy animes from those who are more isekai-based, like characters being taken somehow from their real life realm to a fantasy one. |
| so much so as they are realising 4 FUCKING ISEKAI ANIME IN SUMMER 2019 LMAO WE REALLY NEED THIS. |
I think that would be a good idea since it's such a popular genre. |
 |
| its not techniqually a genre of anime but im 100% sure its a valid genre on mal considering that tags like demon/samurai/space are being added into the database as genres |
| obviously with a demand so high for this to become a genre, I still don't understand why it isn't... like isekai is now widely accepted as a genre in the anime community and its probably at it peak of it popularity, also isekai is likely to stay popular for a good few more years. like each season there are 3-5 isekai and usually are at least two of the most watched/discussed each season. |
| It would be nice so I can filter them and put it into my drop list |
| YEssss |
 |
| It's 2k19, at the least one Isekai anime airs each season, Why is Isekai not a Genre yet... Their's well over 100 Isekai anime out there and genre like samurai and thriller have less than 200, not to mention Yuri and Yaoi at only 39 each... Isekai deserves it's own tag. |
| ~Filthy Dragoncraft main. |
| With half a dozen new Isekai every season, I don't know how this hasn't created already. |
Awoo :3 |
| When was the last season without an isekai show? |

| Isekai, Mahou Shoujo, Cooking, and Iyashikei all need their own genre tags on this site, honestly... |
 |
| Yes Isekai has its own genre at this point and there should be a category on MyAnimeList as well. |
| By judging how many Isekai we're getting those past years, this is a shame MyAnimeList didn't added the Isekai tag yet. |
| Please add Isekai as genre tag, nowadays is really popular and widespread genre. |

| I agree! I've really gotten into Isekai and it'd be much easier to find them if they're a genre tag. |
