| Was this thread made in protest of the "this is why I hate Isekai" thread? Ah well, I'll bite regardless. Personally I'd have to say 'Overlord'. I love a series that isn't afraid to spend a lot of time world-building and showing PoVs from multiple different characters, but at the same time precisely connecting each and every character and event by a thread which connects at one point or another. The show being an Isekai is just a coincidence. |
| I haven't watched that many, but Magic Knight Rayearth is pretty good. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Konosuba. It's easily the best one, because it subverts expectations you have for the genre. |
| Not a huge fan of No Game No Life, but i drool over the art i love it, and it's not bad otherwise. |
 I don't believe in the Devil. You should. He believes in you. |
| The answer is always Legend of the Galactic Heroes. The original intention of the author was that Julian got transported from our world to the one of logh, but back then yaoi isekai didnt sell well so it got vetoed by the publisher. |
 |
| Since this is just another listing thread, I'll say Sword Art Online. It gave a new life to isekai genre. |
| Easy, Spirited Away is the best isekai. Inuyasha is another good classic example. For more modern examples of good isekai, look to Bakemono no Ko or to Hataraku Maou as a great example of reverse-isekai. Modern isekai is almost categorically hot garbage with the exception of maybe KonoSuba because it's a parody of the hot garbage. Edit: I almost forgot that Youjo Senki exists. It's pretty solid. And I guess Overlord is acceptable. |

| Juuni Kokuki is most probably the best among all the isekai I've watched so far. No game-like world, no harem, no cheat abilities, good plot, no fan-service and no pretty-looking tsunderes with a shit personality to ruin everything. |

| Now Loading..... |
| Overlord and Konosuba are the best ones imo. |
| NGNL was pretty enjoyable, and while I dislike Re:Zero, it is one of the better isekais |

| Most of the Isekai as long as the main character is not as annoying as this motherfucking shit of a character. https://myanimelist.net/character/160361/Yuuto_Suou |
| Now and then, Here and there pretty much a deconstruction of modern isekai anime and what they should be like, unfortunately isekai has done nothing but get worse over the years. https://myanimelist.net/anime/160/Ima_Soko_ni_Iru_Boku?q=Here%20and%20noe |
This is the best isekai ever existed |
| El Hazard: The Magnificent World anyone? More recent title - Imawa no Kuni no Alice. |
| Overlord by country mile compare to all Isekai anime I watch. Log horizon is decent |

Ever_Onward said: I really enjoyed Re:Zero because I'm a low IQ casual with awful taste, apparently. I don't get the hate for Re:Zero. We finally got an Isekai show where the MC is a flawed human being. The guy is constantly forced to face the consequences of his actions and faults and it largely realistic. Hell, I will never forget the slap in the face moment when Emiliya said 'The 'me' in your head must be amazing'. 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. |

Made me ponder over the way I had been seeing interpersonal relationships so far. Shit's good...but people are upset because the otaku-pandering waifu-bait whose name I can't remember (i jest) was given a tough position to be in, or given the 'cold' shoulder. The show stands out because there's a good bit in the dialogues to chew on about and understand the POV of any said character. |

 Truly a Divine Comedy  |
| Juuni Kokuki hands down it's in its own league, but if you're looking for shit like re:zero then you're in for disappointment it has an actually good MC and awesome worlbuilding, the new world is actually fantastic and not a generic waifu spawning shithole there's also magic knight rayearth if you're into magical girls (and in general more shoujo feel anime) and Escaflowne for mecha fantasy isekai |
 |
| Escaflowne was probably the most satisfying. |

Ugh, that makes sense knowing this community but its very disappointing. I would think the whole impaling him would be a perfect justification as to why on a subconscious level Subaru would struggle to be able to feel the same way about her, but hey what do I know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

| Konosuba is probably the only good isekai anime |
| Overlord and Sword Art Online , I enjoyed both of them but I think Overlord is better . It gave a new meaning to isekai anime . |
| Log Horizon, by a landslide. Give it a try. Eanki said: Log Horizon is an anime with a worldbuilding prowess that had impressed me, and I'm weaned on the best of Western fantasy literature. If you know Brandon Sanderson's Three Laws of Magic, then all you have to know is that it understands and embraces that fully. It's Chekhov's Gun the Anime. MMORPG-based isekai series have a distinct advantage over other isekai types: MMORPG mechanics allow for a pretty strong backbone in constructing a hard magic system. In fact, it’s one of the easiest ways of establishing a hard magic system, really. Hard magic systems, as opposed to soft magic systems, have clearly defined rules so that the reader can understand and predict them, in accordance with Brandon Sanderson’s first of three laws of magic: “An author's ability to solve conflict with magic is directly proportional to how well the reader understands said magic.” Log Horizon understands this, more than any other of the recent wave of isekai stories. And this is what enables the core strength of the series: interconnection. The author has a solid established system that he then gets to mix and match. He has established ingredients and then how he uses them determines his dish. And by god, he's making a lauriat. As per Sanderson's Third Law of Magic: "Expand on what you have already, before you add something new." It is important to consider the effects that a magic will have on a world. If for example your magic can create food out of thin air, what will that cause, what will happen? How will it affect trade, politics, warfare, education and social norms? Asking these questions and working out what effects your magic system will add depth to your world. And that is where the series shines the most. It's about payoffs to amazing little buildups that snowballed hard into importance. It's a series that continually expands on what it builds up and it doesn't end in just one payoff. It's also an ever evolving world. It's not static, where discoveries are forgotten and the world is continually and forcefully stuck into one dynamic. No. Unique interaction of the game rules becoming reality slowly in multiple aspects, as well as character actions, shape and continually reshape the rules of the world. And it's not done yet. |

| 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. |
| 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. |
 |
| still patiently waiting for isekai putin to get adapted... there is hope... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| I like konosuba the most. But if manga/light novels count it would rhe the overlord novels cuz they are much better than the anime. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I haven't seen many of this genre but my vote goes to ReZero, it was really better than I thought... |
| Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku (Now and Then, Here and There) No doubt |
