| The best I've seen is Ascendance of a Bookworm. I enjoyed how modest the story is in this anime. We witness the slow ascension of the MC, but instead of wanting to save the kingdom from the demon lord, she just want to read book and make them accessible to everyone. The worst I've seen is probably No Game No life. I was quite annoyed by the lolicon incest onii-chan, but the thing that irritated me the most was how the MC always win by distorted logic. Everything became predictable after a while so I stopped caring about these pointless matches. |
| Best is hard to say, I really liked Inuyasha as a kid, and consider it to be the isekai I enjoyed most, but that might have been childhood bias since I hadn't seen other isekai at the time. If Kobato or Little Busters count as an isekai, which is a serious stretch, then I would pick those. For shows I seen more recently I would choose either Youjo Senki or Problem Children in Another World. For worst, without a doubt its the hot mom isekai that was released in 2019, never have I seen a trashier show. |

| Best is a tie between ngnl and Overlord, I liked ngnl for the comedy and the parody aspects & overlord for the world building and having a villain mc was refreshing. Worst isekai is probably re-zero, subaru's character keep flipping between a retard and someone with average intellect, the rest of the characters were boring and the show keeps shifting focus which annoyed me a lot. |
 |
| The best is war on geminar because it was funny and had great girls. I didn't expect I would enjoy tenchi's isekai spin off more than regular old tenchi. The worst is garzey's wing because it's a mess in every way. It's worth a watch, it truly is a unique experience. Capricorn is a close second mostly because it didn't have enough time to tell a proper story. |

I'll second that. But for the worst I would say Kono Suba. The story was really boring plus the anime wasn't funny at all. Apparently, parody series are not my kind of thing. For the best I think you can say it's Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo? I really liked the concept, art, story and characters. Too bad it didn't have a second season. |
 |
| I enjoyed Youjo Senki the most. I loved the take on AU WWI and WWII, strategical aspect of battles and military magic. Just brilliant. Not to mention unique MC who is def out there. The other would be Otome Game with Katarina. Might not be the most serious show out there, but it was the funniest one. Worst one... Possibly Conception. I find the whole concept very meh and even characters were very bland and not enjoyable (with one or two exceptions). The ones that led me down the most were Konosuba and Mom Isekai. I didn't find first one funny at all and I had to force myself through it. Mom Isekai sounded promising at first, but all the fanservice and weird "incesty" vibes just completely ruined it for me. |
 |
| For the best it's a tie between Konosuba and Re:Zero since they do different things but they are both great at what they do. The worst, out of the ones I've seen (I don't watch isekai shows very often and I ignore the ones that are obviously terrible like the smartphone one) is Danmachi. There is nothing that it does well. The visuals are competent but that's all it has going for it. |

| best ones: https://myanimelist.net/anime/5372/Seisenshi_Dunbine_OVA the art was great, the mecha designs are interesting. loved that nobody got what they wanted except for the scientist guy. https://myanimelist.net/anime/31240/Re_Zero_kara_Hajimeru_Isekai_Seikatsu I'm not really into isekai at all, so the list of shows I liked is very short. I like the mystery and gore. hate most of the characters. worst: https://myanimelist.net/anime/35790/Tate_no_Yuusha_no_Nariagari this isn't an adaptation but a rewrite. I wanted to witness the story in anime format, not a fanfiction. a huge waste of time and opportunity to make something great. https://myanimelist.net/anime/38297/Maou-sama_Retry one of the lowest quality anime I've seen, the plot is stupid, the characters are cardboard cutouts and everyone resembles some specific popular character from a different show. the original story seems like a cheap cashgrab. the art and animation made it borderline impossible to watch. I hate it. https://myanimelist.net/anime/39523/Choujin_Koukousei-tachi_wa_Isekai_demo_Yoyuu_de_Ikinuku_you_desu prime example of a stupid person writing clever characters. it's plain bad in every way but when a casual watcher like I question the logic of the supposedly clever people in the show it's already lost. example1: "we need to gather information on the world and build relations with whatever authority there is." a minute later mean soldiers attack and instead of trying to talk things out with them or tie one down to question him, they fight and scare them away. no info gained and they're on the shitlist of the king now. amazing. the whole show is horrid. I regret every minute I spent on this, but I made it an endurance run. I wanted to know how far I can go watching it. https://myanimelist.net/anime/35203/Isekai_wa_Smartphone_to_Tomo_ni I THINK I finished the first episode of this. the most banal thing possible if the title doesn't tell you that much already. ever heard people say "just turn your brain off bro"? this show requires you to repeatedly hit your head with a pickaxe in order to make it enjoyable. just don't forget to carve your eyes out as well because it looks like shit. the reason I never watched sao was that I found the character designs incredibly boring. same applies here. I didn't find anything attractive about anyone. I think objectively this is the worst isekai I tried. https://myanimelist.net/anime/37430/Tensei_shitara_Slime_Datta_Ken this show is a mix of genius isekai's 0 logic bs and smartphone's everything I want I get the first second I think of it. "whoa I better don't piss off anyone in this city" then he finds the top dog, tells him that his first love and master was a monster, then continues to talk down on him until he gets a fight. stupid fuck. slime guy has it so easy that even he jokes about it. "wouldn't it be funny if I found the solution right away guys? right? riiiight? oh here it is thanks that didn't take long". I have no clue what people like in this. there's nothing special about it aside from how good the mc has it. |

Deknijff said: Artvisitor said: Who in Danmachi is from earth my dude?The worst, out of the ones I've seen is Danmachi. I keep forgetting that it's generic fantasy and not isekai... But it's basically isekai aside from what used to make isekai an isekai... Yeah, it technically doesn't count, sorry. It's the "I can't believe it's not isekai" isekai. Well, then I have to pick the weakest out of the ones I've seen. That would probably be Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu or Grimgar. |
| Best: Konosuba Worst: Re zero/No game no life |
 |
Catalano said: But Catalano thats not an isekai worst: okaa-san online because not enough ecchi thats some weird sci-fi video game as far as I know unless LNs say otherwise later |

Deknijff said: Catalano said: But Catalano thats not an isekai worst: okaa-san online because not enough ecchi thats some weird sci-fi video game as far as I know unless LNs say otherwise later you're right man, that's just a SF, totally forgot then I'll go with slime isekai because it was boring and slime's abilities made no sense, no hot girl there, and the last arc was annoying as hell. |
|
| Best Re Zero I like despair time loops like Higurashi, Umineko, Steins Gate, ect. Beyond that I love how crazy the mc and the villains are. Worst Isekai wa Smartphone Awful characters and story. Everything is so generic and the mc never fails. |
 |
| im gonna go with a not-so-well-known anime for best Isekai Best: Nobunaga Concerto. It was released in 2014 and it was overlooked due to it using CGI graphics, but it was very entertaining and interesting. Worst: To be honest, i dont really care for the Isekai animes for me to get interested and judge it or watch it all the way to the end. Only Nobunaga Concerto caught my interest. |
| The best is Hataraku Maou sama (manga), it was funny and i liked the romance. It's original, and the plot is interstanting, the characters were charismatics and had a good vibes. The worst.. probably was.. i don't know. i simplely ignore some isekais, only watch those they're popular, like Kokosuba or Overlord. |
| Best: I can't decide between Konosuba, Re:Zero or Tensura, mainly because I love all of them for very, very different reasons lol. Worst: The 8th Son? Are You Kidding Me? I didn't even put this on my MAL because I watched the first episode and completely forgot about it, because of how boring it was oops |
"It wasn't your fault. You do not have to carry that burden." Violet Evergarden  |
| Best: Inuyasha; love the quirky, fun characters and worldbuilding. There might be a bit of childhood bias, but I re-watched some episodes recently and still love it. Honorable mention goes to Re:Zero. Worst: No Game No Life, Mondaiji-taichi, and KonoSuba. All three of them have super annoying characters and are at the very bottom of my ratings, I just want to bang myself in the head whenever I see anything related to them. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| The best, objectively speaking, would be Re:Zero in my opinion. Ascendance of a Bookworm would be a close second and Log Horizon would be in third My favourite however is Konosuba At the other end of the spectrum tho, I'd say...Kenja no Mago. It was terrible. Arifureta was bad as well, but it's mostly because of the adaptation. I'm reading the manga and it's quite enjoyable |
| The best is Re:Zero, actually Re:Zero is the single isekai sponsored by me. The worst is No Game no Life, NGNL isn't just the worst isekai that I have watched, it's also the worst audiovisual production that I watched |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| Best is probably rising of The Shield hero. I think it's different from the rest of the isekais and the main characters are pretty likeable. Honourable mention - Konosuba Worst: Re;Zero i think its overrated, I don't see what's so good about it. |
| The best one is Re:Zero, my all-time favorite isekai, since it builds up the nuance of how the intensity of solitude crumbles Subaru into a beautifully greater extent. Most side characters also are three-dimensional which applies to their own life with depth and nuance. Honorable mention goes to Konosuba... and Mushoku Tensei (Still in Light Novel) The worst one, imo, Inuyasha. I can’t judge on other trashy shows other than the fact that Inuyasha is the most boring one. |
 "You don't get it, a million sorry's is not equal to one thank you." — Emilia |
mfw no one mentions Escaflowne as the best Isekai Worst? Kenja no Mago - talk about boring mary sues Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu - talk about retarded characters |
| Best is Konosuba, Worst is Rising of the Shield Hero. The only good thing about shield hero is Raphatalia, and even she isn't that great. |
| The best I have seen is Re:zero and Shield hero. Re:zero because it's really unique because all of things that happen and then Shield hero because of the story and overall it's a good isekai. Then the worst is probably overlord because I didn't really like the characters and the story I didn't really get so much. Also s2 was the worst season because of the lizards. |
 Wanna play 8-ball? |
| A lot of Isekai are objectively not very well made. But I still have a soft spot for them even if they could be a lot better XD I can't think of a worse, but Konosuba is a great comedy anime. |
| Best is Re:zero by far and probably the only good isekai out there. Worst is Shield hero. |
| Best: SAO, because I watched it when I was getting into real anime. Looking back it's not really that good. Worst: Shield Hero, because it's so tryhard it's not even entertaining. |
Nobita-X said: Well its good, but Digimon is better.mfw no one mentions Escaflowne as the best Isekai Worst? Kenja no Mago - talk about boring mary sues Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu - talk about retarded characters |
| Worst: SAO due to having a overpowered protagonist that is way too heavily relied on by the side characters Best: Konosuba for making fun of shows like SAO |
 IT'S NEVER OGRE |
| Best one is definitely KonoSuba. It's one of the funniest shows I've watched in my personal opinion. Worst one is Isekai wa Smartphone. The characters are really bland, and the voice acting is terrible. |
| "You don't have to believe in yourself, because I believe in you." - Drax the Destroyer https://dawnhibiki.carrd.co/ Mirishita ID: L3N93SKX Discord: DawnHibiki #6454 |
| Best: Digimon Adventure Worst: Just pick any shitty modern isekai, they're all the same forgettable crap |
| Best is ReZero by a long shot. Nothing comes close. It has evolved to become one of my favourite shows in recent times. Worst is probably Death March. It's just a waste of resources and animators. |
Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth. Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime. |
| So far Best: Drifters Worst: Shield Hero or NGNL But I’ve yet to get to 12 Kingdoms, Escaflowne, Log Horizon, Now/Then Here/There, El Hazard, War on Geminar, and Bookworm. I know they’re all pretty well received. |

| The best isekai I've ever watched is definitely KonoSuba. The worst is SAO, if it counts as one. |
