This isn't usually what I'd go for, but it has been intriguing to me before so figured why not ask

What it is that I mean by Reverse Isekai is somebody from a world that's, medieval, magical, or, edo-period is transported into the Modern world and has to figure out everything that's advanced/different, this or something of a 'fictional character' being transported into modern life as well

Things that had a similar plot to this that I've seen are, Gibiate (only the first EP because I didn't realize CGI could be so bad it becomes traumatic, though that sort of concept executed PROPERLY is what I'd be looking for), Maou 2099, Inuyasha-ish, and the implied ending of Zenshuu

Just want to see if there's anything actually decent enough to watch from this 'Genre', even though it seems more niche than the usual, since googling didn't churn up with much and the people on here are usually quite well-versed in stuff!!

The Devil is a Part-Timer! comes to mind, it's an amusing show about the Demon Lord from another dimension who fled to our world and now has to work part-time in a fast-food to pay the bills.

Paripi Koumei was apparently great. Still haven't gotten around to watching it, myself.

I highly recommend Re:Creators. Other than that, there's also Dead Mount Death Play

If you need a change of pace, there is https://myanimelist.net/anime/34012/Isekai_Shokudou Once every week, doors open somewhere, and all kinds of Fantasy people can eat at a normal modern restaurant. It is a bit borderline into your recommendation, because they mostly get flummoxed at the food, and how keep thinking about the food during 7 days, and the waitresses learning how to do their jobs better. So no action.

Not to be confused with the one that features a japanese bar -> https://myanimelist.net/anime/34420/Isekai_Izakaya__Koto_Aitheria_no_Izakaya_Nobu

Not sure if they are from another world or just another place since that's not really divulged in the anime.

@Khashishi

Confirmed via manga. It is a reverse isekai.

You may enjoy this one if you're looking for a decent comedy, though it does have ecchi moments so if you're not into that you may not like it.
