| Now, that Isekai is a big thing in modern Anime. Are there series in which you'd take a fantasy-like character and put it in a city like setting? One that I could think of and wanting it to be good was "Cop Craft". Boy, did that had a lot of potential. I love the mix of both with a bit of grittiness. I don't mind cute humor but it would be nice to have a balance of both. |

| The most famous example of this is The Devil is a Part-Timer. |
 |
| Re:Creators and even the Fate series can be considered reverse isekai. |

| "I was Isekai'd, but it turns out it was just another Japan in another dimension and the me from that dimension is still alive so I have to stay out of his sight because that's basically like doppelganger and I'll die if he sees me" would totally work as a light novel title though, right?:o |

| why would you want to watch that, though |
| Amaburi Brilliant Park Fate Series Hataraku Maou-sama Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Isekai Shokudou. It's a fantasy, comedy, and food-based anime. |
| Well, aside from the ones people have already mentioned there's Gate. Which is trash But that's alright. Because we're all trash deep inside |
 |
| I would say that The Devil Is A Part Timer falls into the "Reverse Isekai" category. It's the only one that comes to my mind. |
| Hataraku Maouu Sama, Restaurant from Another World(limited only on the restaurant) and Re:Creators are some shows on top of my head that fits your need |
 |
| The Devil Is A Part Timer is the only one I can name off the top of my head. |
 |
| I can only remember three of them at the moment - Beelzebub, Hataraku Maou sama and Blood Lad. GATE is a combination of both regular and reverse isekai. |
| The best reverse isekai I have watched are not even anime, but 2 live action movies: Jumanji and The Purple rose of cairo. |

Korishi said: the entire population of Japan gets isekai'd into a fantasy land with unknown physical laws, minerals, fauna and flora, and have to survive with only knowledge of life on Earth. does this perhaps already exist? no of course not, it's too good to be true. “Nihonkoku Shoukan“ is a manga where entire Japan both people and land gets isekai’d to a fantasy world. |

| Anime-Planet late last year debuted the Reverse Isekai tag (among others), and here's what they have listed as that so far: https://www.anime-planet.com/anime/tags/reverse-isekai https://www.anime-planet.com/manga/tags/reverse-isekai I'd also argue that the Magic Knight Rayearth OVA, also known simply as "Rayearth", ought to count, even though it's not on that list. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Re:Creators - came to my mind first. From newer stuff, Sasaki to Pii-chan is both Isekai and Reverse Isekai |

| I would count Demon Lord 2099 as Reverse isekai technically. It got the Fantasy being wakes up and has to adopt to Modern life aspect at least. I'm a little surprised it's not a much more popular subgenre personally. |
