| So we are halfway through the season now and one thought crossed my mind a few times now. Is this the best execution of the Isekai concept that we’ve had since the Isekai wave started? Idk how it will continue but if they keep this up, the title “Best Isekai” might actually be justified. What do you guys think? |
| It could be if Re:Zero wasn't written by god himself. But it could definitely be second :). |
| clannad is the greatest piece of fiction to ever exist. |
| I don't know if it's the best one but when it comes to the novels, definitely one of the very few isekai products that I like. Could be the best one if I put some thought into it, definitely prefer this massively over stuff like Re:Zero. |
| It's amazing but I haven't seen enough Isekai to make a judgment on it being "The Best". |
| Are you suggesting it's better than series like 12 kingdoms, ima soko ni iru boku, bookworm or youjo senki? If so then I cannot follow you on that at all. Unless it becomes way better down the line, I don't see how that would top the list of the above and a few others tbh. It's not bad so far, but I don't see anything exceptional either. The animation itself and the background/chara design is very nice though, I wish other series like bookworm could have benefited from such attention when adapted in anime ~. |

| Wat. There is a ton of better isekais. Maybe what you meant was "the best bland & generic isekai"? Cause in that case it could be that, the blandest of them all. If you are asking about isekais overall - this one does not even get into top 10. |
| "Best isekai?" "Best shounen?" "Anime of the season/year/decade?" It always annoys me when people make these threads while the season or the show are not even finished yet. Now on topic: no, for me it's not the best YET. |
| Did Re:Zero stop being isekai? |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Kafka, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Topaz and Huohuo. |
| Top 3 for me. Re:Zero is still the king here. |
| It's definitely a good show. However, I do enjoy Re:Zero and Ascendance of a Bookworm more. I'd place it 3rd. This show does have a weird premise, of how the dude is was a low-life creep before reincarnation. At least though, that character is shown through Rudeus. I can appreciate that. |

| Pretty much yeah, this show is the textbook definition of isekai and the one I'd recommend if someone wants to watch "an isekai anime" And please guys, at least read the first post before answering as if we're asking you if this is the best isekai anime in a quality standpoint |
| Stuff in the streets, Stuff with drip in the sheets |
| Yeah. One of the best or the fest so far - actually. Despite having that sexual stuff that feels a bit like comedy ... it is nice. And the chars a nice and nothing feels out of place. Re:Zero had too much of an annoying main and the shield hero also felt annoying with the annoying chars ha ha. |
| I would agree for the time being. Definitely prefer this notably more over ReZero, even though I still do quite enjoy the latter. Its approach to worldbuilding and portrayal of societal and fantasy aspects has been quite solid so far, as well as the organic groundwork on the characteres as well (which include even the dirty parts as well, which I'm glad they don't skim on). I plan to check out the LN for more after this first cour ends. |

| 2nd best isekai after re zero* |
  |
| Its too early to even say this is one of the best isekais since you have shows like re zero airing. |

| clannad is the greatest piece of fiction to ever exist. |
| It's definitely up there in the top, yeah. |
Chida said: Hard to take this post serious when you have bakemonogatari at a 5 but the secret dungeon only I can enter at a 9. Sorry to break it to you, but not everyone is a hipster and trend victim to be taken in by garbage and pretentious abstract art. BTW anything still airing obviously gets a provisional score which is rarely changed before the anime finishes. It has to either piss me off or amaze me to change it before that. |

Because if you're saying that with just the anime and you're telling that mushoku tensei tops in WRITING all those I listed you've got a strange sense of what is good writing. Also, bookworm and spice & wolf are pretty much at the same level of writing so if mushoku tensei were to be around the level of spice & wolf it would also be around the level of bookworm by default ~ if you read the books, well, we'll have to see, but it woudl need to become way better than it currently is to touch any of those I listed. I sure hope it becomes THAT good tho, as the more good show we get, the better after all. |

| Its the best that I've seen judging by the animes. Re:Zero is a close second but you just can't compete with that animation... |
| I gave up on character of the week since it takes too much thinking. I'll just change my forum pfp to whoever I want every week lol. |
| Best isekai ever? This is a useless thread (no offense) since yet again it's all about individual tastes. When it comes to Isekai, I'd place them as following: #1 Ascendance of a Bookworm #2 re:zero #3 Shield hero #4 Konosuba So far, Mushoku tensei has accumulated more negatives than positives to me. So there's no chance for it to appear above any of those 4. Heck... even spider isekai would rank higher than this one in my list! |
| I like it so much shield hero is trash comparting to this |
| The prologue isn't even finished yet so it's too early to tell. But yes, it's up there on the list if they keep this up. |
Genjurooo said: Bunch of dilettantes that don't even know NGNL is the undisputable isekai champion to date(unless Mushoku Tensei dethrones it). Every connoisseur knows. Agreed ! Hahaha I didn't expect to read this at all ! hahaha finally some one else on the NGNL league 😎 , we'll see it on how it ends on last episode as NGNL got no match for now on how any isekai ends their season xD |

If you don't appreciate art , anime aren't for you , there is nothing wrong in them , nothing is perfect ! If you criticize Anime you should release your reviews directly to people and authors that made em ! Anime will not get any better if reviews do not get outside the borders of this website , change this ! |

I sure hope it becomes THAT good tho, as the more good show we get, the better after all. This is an anime discussion, of course i talk about the anime. And no, Bookworm has little to do with Spice and Wolf. When I think of Bookworm I think of the Slime isekai. Why do you say it is similar to Spice? Because it has trading and merchanty stuff? I say that about Mushoku Tensei because of the atmosphere, again, the pace of storytelling and the quality of it. In Bookworm the MC (past a point) feels like an annoying know-it-all brat and even the author knows it, trying to break it by making her wrong or doubtful from time to time. Only that it is quite low effort as it comes like telephoned excuses of author's uninspired choices (in building her character and developing the story). Everytime she failed in anything felt like a hamfisted and artificial way to disguise a very obvious power fantasy char. The saving the orphanage arc is the best example. Until now you have nothing of that crap in this show, the power fantasy is pretty obvious in the beginning but gets harmoniously blended in the fabric of the worldbuilding and the bildungsroman direction of the atmosphere and any doubts MC might have had feel organic and not dumb cheap stuff. Some mistakes that I pray this anime doesn't repeat. Until now there is no doubt it is better than Bookworm, but then again Bookworm was awesome too until the girl became a preachy "holier than thou" or "le madame ruling over dumb peasants" brat (most of season 2). |
| If we are counting KonoSuba as a parody of Isekai genre, for know it's my number 2 but already coming really close to my N#1 RE:Zero. If it's as good as the LN readers are hyping it might be the best isekai ever once the S2 will be in the supposed "best part". |
