As we all know, the genre is oversaturated with low effort derivative garbage. I tried to select the best quality shows that rise above the average, or that are enjoyable to watch at the very least.
Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu
TV, 2021, 11 eps Me:- Author:9
A modern classic, enough said. Still ongoing.
Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu
TV, 2016, 25 eps Me:- Author:10
Yet another classic that doesn't need an introduction. Perhaps the greatest isekai of all time.
Sousou no Frieren
TV, 2023, 28 eps Me:- Author:10
This will surely become a classic, currently the highest rated anime on the website - and the show isn't even finished yet.
Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!
TV, 2016, 10 eps Me:- Author:9
A classic comedy-parody of isekai and RPG.
Zero no Tsukaima
TV, 2006, 13 eps Me:- Author:8
An oldie that still holds well. A Harry Potter tsundere isekai. Good plot.
Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka
TV, 2015, 13 eps Me:- Author:7
It's pretty good, watch all the seasons.
Ookami to Koushinryou
TV, 2008, 13 eps Me:- Author:9
Sometimes it's a bit hard to follow and it's very dialogue heavy (the kind of shows I personally prefer), but great characters and very well done show, don't miss it.
Tensei shitara Ken deshita
TV, 2022, 12 eps Me:- Author:8
Very fun show despite the stupid premise. Interesting mix of moe and action.
Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu
TV, 2018, 12 eps Me:- Author:8
This is a good one. It's trashed for being an ecchi, but this is seriously one of the best shows in the "I have cheat skills because I beat the game in my past life" genre. Also very good comedy.
Made in Abyss
TV, 2017, 13 eps Me:- Author:7
Good adventure fantasy with interesting world building. Unfortunately it also contains gratuitous sadism and violence which spoils for me the enjoyment (and honestly adds little to the story), so I cannot recommend this without reservations. Be warned.
Slime Taoshite 300-nen, Shiranai Uchi ni Level Max ni Nattemashita
TV, 2021, 12 eps Me:- Author:8
Silly and funny slice of life isekai.
Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu
TV, 2021, 12 eps Me:- Author:7
Relaxing and harmless show. Pity the second season was a let down.
Isekai Yakkyoku
TV, 2022, 12 eps Me:- Author:6
OP medic isekai, pretty decent.
Saijaku Tamer wa Gomi Hiroi no Tabi wo Hajimemashita.
TV, 2024, 12 eps Me:- Author:6
Pretty generic, but the visuals and music are beautiful so it's worth watching.
Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou.
TV, 2023, 12 eps Me:- Author:7
Girls love. It feels very low budget but it's actually a good show, particularly if you are into GL.
Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records
TV, 2017, 12 eps Me:- Author:7
Yet another magical school setting, but this one is actually good.
Urasekai Picnic
TV, 2021, 12 eps Me:- Author:8
Stalker the girl-love anime. Perhaps not technically an isekai but it's quite enjoyable.
Sugar Apple Fairy Tale
TV, 2023, 12 eps Me:- Author:6
A decent shoujo.
InuYasha
TV, 2000, 167 eps Me:- Author:-
This one is quite nostalgic for me. It's a nice historical-setting shoujo though can feel like a little kid's show at places. Also, it's one of the very first isekais.
Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha
TV, 2024, 12 eps Me:- Author:6
Pretty generic RPG themed plot but the main premise is quite original.
Akuyaku Reijou Level 99: Watashi wa Ura-Boss desu ga Maou dewa Arimasen
TV, 2024, 12 eps Me:- Author:7
Another "OP reincarnation into a visual novel" isekai. It's decent.
Gekai Elise
TV, 2024, 12 eps Me:- Author:6
Another medical isekai. The premise is pretty confusing but if you like medicine then it's ok I guess.
Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki
TV, 2021, 13 eps Me:- Author:-
Watch if you like lots of political intrigue. It can feel boring at places.
Sword Art Online
TV, 2012, 25 eps Me:- Author:7
People like to shit on this show but it's actually quite good, but just watch the first two seasons and forget all the rest.
Ore dake Haireru Kakushi Dungeon
TV, 2021, 12 eps Me:- Author:7
It's a mindless ecchi but entertaining nonetheless.
Kinsou no Vermeil: Gakeppuchi Majutsushi wa Saikyou no Yakusai to Mahou Sekai wo Tsukisusumu
TV, 2022, 12 eps Me:- Author:6
Another ecchi Harry Potter knockoff. It's generic but the main girl is so cute that it's worth watching.
Shinmai Maou no Testament
TV, 2015, 12 eps Me:- Author:7
Very graphic ecchi (at least if you watch uncensored) but the plot is surprisingly decent.
Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai.
TV, 2012, 12 eps Me:- Author:7
Another good ecchi for horny people.
Peter Grill to Kenja no Jikan
TV, 2020, 12 eps Me:- Author:6
Just a brain dead ecchi, if this is your kind of thing (it's genuinely funny though).
