Which while not necessarily subtle was there to force the MC to realise that he's essentially in love with the Idea of what Emiliya represents instead of an actual person. Which helps him mature in a way where I don't see happen in anime that often. His pride was shattered and he was forced into character growth. Once again. Doesn't happens as often as it should. Its not some masterclass in writing but its a solid show in my opinion and I've yet to hear a valid narrative criticism of the show to straight up justify it being called awful. I hear you, though I don't have that much to add. Good observations. I'm with you on this. some scenes can be executed more imo(some stuff going to the ending) but the whole show was absolutely great and for me it's really not awful on how others perceive it to be. I mean the ratings speaks for itself most here on MAL rated it 8+ there are others who don't like it and are constantly saying it's absolute trash, while the ones who loved it enjoyed it and moved on.. giving it a bad rep |

| Of the shows I've seen, Log Horizon is the best serious one, No Game No Life is the best power fantasy one, and Konosuba is the best comedy one. There are a couple of other alright ones, but those are the best in my book. |
| You have shit taste, and then I have taste so shit it makes your taste look good |
| No game no life SAO Log Horizon Rezero was alright |
| In anime, I'd say 12 Kingdoms and Youjo Senki tops it in what I've seen so far by quite a good margin. In LN, I would add the lovely Honzuki no Gekokujou, but this one cannot be accessed to anime onlys, well, that's too bad ;o. And Isekai is not a "genre". At best it's a theme (when the "isekai" part is really developed), and usually it's not even a theme but simply part of the initial setting. It sets the story in motion but the genre of the story coming from it can be anything you want. From the kind of standard in anime fantasy battle with OP protag (with harem/ecchi combo being quite often used as well), to slice & life, military, detective story, science fiction, anything is possible. Oh, btw, many peoples tend to forget, but many magical girls story have been using isekai as part of their setting for a looong time since it's not rare that the mascot providing the magical girl's power is not from the same world. |
 |
| Older ones like Inuyasha and Escaflowne. Modern Isekai are absolute garbage that puts more stock in making the pathetic MC as self insertable as possible and introducing shallow waifus that people forget after the season ends. Even series like Re:Zero and Konosuba which are regarded as "deconstructions" are still garbage. |
| if reverse isekai counts too devil is a part-timer is the best |
 |
| Overlord even though, I’ve only watched the first season it was pretty decent. |
  |
| my favorites include: Log Horizon Re: Zero Hai to Gensou no Grimgar Overlord Konosuba Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo? No Game No Life Zero no Tsukaima |

| This is quite a controversial thread but the answer is fairly , quite obviously Re Zero . I am actually how very few people have mentioned it but if you are talking about isekai anime , there is no anime that comes even close. But I know how people think or should I say , pretend to think ( like a act or something) here at MAL . Everyone who watched it know its a great anime but they just can't confess it because it is a popular mainstream anime . Oh how much I wish to teach them that liking a popular mainstream anime doesn't make your anime taste bad or anything and conversly , hating them ( for no reasons whatsoever ) doesn't make you or your tastes any better. |

There were already some isekai anime that had flawed MCs long before Re:zero came along. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Hai to gensou no grimgar. Because, the drama touched my heart. |
 |
| If we are talking about action+romance then Sword Art Online. If comedy then Zero no Tsukaima. If about kawaii girls then Death March. If dark one then Overlord (later parts) . And finally if about worst one it's konosuba (parody is worst thing you can combine with isekai/fantasy...). |
| Rezero Konosuba Log Horizon Spirited away No game no life Overlord |
  |
| No isekai anime will come close to Re:Zero for me. |
 |
| Tenchi Muyo war on Geminar Konosuba El-Hazard Re:Zero In another world with my smartphone(I did think the title of the anime was stupid) No Game No Life Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsod Outbreak Company The Familiar of Zero The idea that isekai anime is somehow a new thing is absurd. Its been around for while. If you don't like it then don't watch it. I don't care for yaoi, and sports,.So I don't watch them. I don't care for those Michael Vick anime where those little kids catch monsters/animals, train those monsters/animals and fight them with other kids monsters/animals. So I don't watch those types of anime. I am not going to make a thread where I piss bitch and moan how I don't care for those anime. Everybody has different tastes. Its why there is a shit load of different types of anime. |

corwinr said: Hard to choose one that stands out as the best, but I know which I'd pick as the funniest bloody hell!! I am putting this on my watch list for the lulz. |
 Truly a Divine Comedy  |
| I think I'll pick Log Horizon, without that f'kin kids team scene. |
| No game no life shit on most of the isekai anime that i have watched tbh And digimon adventure And trinity seven are pretty good |

| Most underated anime on mal: https://myanimelist.net/anime/4651/Yume_no_Crayon_Oukoku?q=Yume%20ni%20crayon |
| I've seen a couple. A lot of people are listing isekai from the past ten years or so. Some of them are pretty good. None of them top Vision of Escaflowne, in my opinion. Is it "old?" To most of you, probably. I still haven't seen an isekai that I think really tops it. |
| Dog Days and No Game no Life, the current Isekai are mostly terrible. |
 |
| Digimon 1st season or Those who hunt elves |
| :v |
LeWannabeOtaku said: I know that Re:Zero is very overhyped but i just finished it and found it to be amazing, so so far it's my favourite isekai. Been watching anime since the 90s and rezero managed to impress me, at least during the first arc and it was solid for at least 15 episodes. great damn anime. |
| :v |
logopolis said: People who make threads like this probably need to come up with some term like "power fantasy isekai" to stop us from saying things like Now and Then, Here and There, Fushigi Yuugi etc. But that's the thing though. People are throwing the word isekai to describe that it's a boring story when it just means "being transported to another world" People are mad about these isekai simply because the characters are overpowered Gary Stus and Mary Sues due to their ability to break the nature of the world they were transported to. There's a lot of that in anime as it is, just not obvious. As for the topic, I'm giving a shoutout to the fujobait, Kyou Kara Maou. Not the best thing I'd recommend, but the foreshadowing in that LN trumps a lot of stories out there. |
| Maybe digimon adentures or log horizon |
 -Just roki roll!!!https://myanimelist.net/profile/Wimp3452 If you click on that you will die |
| Best isekai ? Lol nice joke I'm in pain. |

| Best Isekai Anime is ReZero If Best Isekai Manga is Parallel Paradaise |
| the first one, Aura battler Dunbine by Yoshiyuki Tomino |
 |
| If this thread is still active in 6 months, Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken just might get quite a few votes.... we'll see. |
 You're never too old to watch anime. If I ever stop watching anime, check my pulse I'm likely dead. I wake up with coffee & anime, I go to sleep with coffee & anime. Sorry if my sarcasm is bad, it's not my first language. |
| Probably not the best one, but since I'ven't watched many Isekai, I'll say Konosuba ~ |
| Konosuba definitely. I would say overlord but the anime is shit, read the ln. |
