One way to do this is by creating a unique show that stands out from the rest. This can be done by having an interesting story, interesting characters, or something that is completely different from the other shows in the genre.
This is a list of things we’re covering. ..
- Sword Art Online: A virtual reality MMORPG where players must fight to the death in order to escape the game.
- Attack on Titan: A post-apocalyptic world where humans are forced to live in enclosed cities due to the giant creatures that roam the land.
- Death Note: A notebook that can kill anyone whose name is written in it.
- Naruto: A ninja village that is constantly under attack from other villages and their powerful ninja warriors.
- One Piece: Pirates who search for treasure and adventure on the high seas. ..
10. Re: ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-
Re: Zero is an excellent example of an isekai series, which are typically set in a different world with its own rules. This series is well-written and has a compelling story. ..
This show is all about the MC and his journey to become the most powerful dude in the world. He’s a bit of a loner, but he’s determined to make it in the world.
First, when a character is killed in a story, they typically die. This is often seen as a way to create tension and suspense in the story. However, in the case of Sherlock Holmes, he does not die when he’s killed. This is because he has been resurrected by Dr. John Watson many times over the course of the stories. ..
I was about to say that the man comes right back to a predetermined spawn point, but then I realized that’s not what he meant.
The protagonist repeatedly dies in the game, learning something new each time. Eventually, he overcomes whatever obstacle was standing in his way. ..
The emotional damage he takes along the way can’t be undone as easily.
This casts a large shadow over the rest of the cast’s ability to truly know whether he’s a genius or clinically insane.
The Re: Zero world is a world of FANTASY tropes, but since we’re seeing everything through the eyes of the MC, it makes the experience just different enough to warrant a placement on this list.
9. My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!
The show follows a similar logic to the last one. ..
The world is basic, but the protagonist is a bit special.
In a recent show, the isekai protagonist gets stuck inside of a game they’ve already played. But this usually just relates to knowing the items/magic spells that make you a literal god.
In this show, the MC knows the story of the game itself and can therefore pretty much predict the future.
The MC has to play by the rules in order to survive in a world that doesn’t want her.
The show is really fun and the unique concept leads to a lot of funny situations. It also helps that the main cast is full of the goofiest, most lovable characters you could ever imagine. ..
8. Ascendance of a Bookworm
This is a type of anime where the main character is a professional who does their job in an alternate world, but they are not actually living in that world. They are using it as a way to escape reality.
The ascent of a bookworm is probably the most popular and the best written out of the bunch, but perhaps not the most unique.
This show is all about reading, writing, and love of books. The MC is like a five-year-old who lives in a different world and is always trying to find ways to make her way back home.
That being said, this is one of the most relaxing and laid-back isekai shows you’ll ever find. ..
The MC is eagerly awaiting the day she can finally add to her personal library, which consists of only books about slime and ogre. ..
Netflix has managed to keep the popular series “House of Cards” on the air for three seasons already, despite some negative reviews. So it must be doing something right.
7. Restaurant to Another World
This show is a regular job, but it’s our second example of a “regular job but fantasy.”
This show is about a man who is trying to find a new job and the challenges that come with it.
However, I’ll point out that it does get a bit more creative than the previous pick. ..
In the first world, the MC transports into a restaurant where he opens up a restaurant. In the second world, the MC transports back to his own world and opens up his own restaurant.
The restaurant is literally jumping to the other world on their itinerary. ..
The show’s first episode jumps to a new location, and the story is slow-paced and relaxed. The show features mythical creatures enjoying their meal and telling stories. ..
Overall, I really enjoyed this episode. It’s a lot more unique than the typical “kill the demon king” storyline we’re all used to seeing.
6. Parallel World Pharmacy
The pharmacy on the corner of First and Second streets was always a popular spot for customers to come in for their prescriptions. But recently, it’s been struggling to keep up with the demand for medications.
The worst part is that I have to do this.
This is the second time an isekai has done it! ..
The show is a slow life. It’s a life of crime, of lying, of cheating. It’s a life that is full of danger and full of pain. It’s a life that is full of secrets and full of love.
Despite being first, this show is much better overall. So it gets the spot.
The show is new and there isn’t much to say about it yet. The MC kind of just creates medication in order to help those in need.
I was really looking forward to the new pharmacy anime series, but I’m not sure if I can ever get over the fact that we have two of them. ..
5. Uncle from Another World
I’m honestly surprised that we didn’t get a show like this sooner. Shows like this are sorely needed in today’s society. ..
The twist in this story is that after the isekai, the characters are unable to remember what happened before it.
The MC’s uncle, who has been in a coma for many years, comes out of it with some new abilities. A plot twist sees him retain most of his old abilities, even though he was secluded the entire time.
A YouTube channel belonging to a god-like creature is being used to show off its powers in order to get the sweet ad sense money. ..
This show is so unique and amazing that even just him being a YouTuber would’ve honestly classified it as a certified unique gem.
The show is a unique and powerful exploration of the human condition, and its potential for growth.
Hikaru is an unusual person, even for someone who lives in a world of isekai stories. He’s never been to Japan, and his only connection to the country is through a video game he played as a child. He’s also never had any friends or relationships in his life - he’s always been alone. But Hikaru isn’t lonely because he doesn’t want them; he’s lonely because he can’t find anyone who shares the same interests as him. So when Hikaru finds out that his favorite video game has been turned into a reality, and that he can travel to different parts of the game world, he jumps at the chance. He starts by going to Japan, where he meets a girl named Aoi who is also visiting the game world. They start to spend time together, and eventually fall in love. But even though they’re happy together, Hikaru knows that it couldn’t be real - after all, this is just a game. So when Aoi dies in an accident while they’re still in the game world, Hikaru is devastated. He can’t bring himself to continue playing the game anymore - it feels like too much of a reminder of her death. But even though it hurts him every day to think about her loss, Hikaru knows that she would have wanted him to keep going…even if she can’t be with him anymore. ..
For one, he’s ugly, and everyone in the other world just can’t stand him. ..
- He is dense and does not have a heroic bone in his body, meaning that he constantly makes situations worse. ..
The MCs reactions to the MCs failures are hilarious. Seeing the MCs reactions is a funny way to show how Uncle fails at his tasks.
The show is set in a world where people have turned into animals, and it follows the adventures of a group of humans who must find a way to return to their human form.
4. GATE
This show is a double whammy of isekai.
The protagonist, a modern person, is sent to a fantasy world where she meets an ancient samurai who tells her about the modern world.
A gate has recently appeared in Japan that allows people to transition between a medieval fantasy world and modern society. The main characters can go to either end when they want, and fighting is usually guaranteed. ..
The show is unique in that it depicts full-scale wars, as opposed to the usual 1 MC vs 10 unnamed bandits archetype.
The article discusses how the game has some political elements, and how they are handled in a fair and balanced way.
The game does feel like fanservice for a lot of people who have wondered how many tanks it would take to take down a dragon. I respect that about it.
3. Saga of Tanya the Evil
Tanya the Evil is a powerful and evil woman who has been causing destruction in the city for years. She is a threat to everyone in it, and her actions have caused many problems for the city.
This show is really funny and ridiculous. The MC is really funny and he’s still like “Nah, I’m an atheist through and through.”
This then prompts said God to give him a world where he can be anything he wants to be. And he also turns him into a little impoverished girl for good measure.
The animosity between these two characters was a major draw for me. ..
Since it’s hardly a one-time occurrence, it’s hard to say for certain what caused the fire.
The MC is X, and even being X makes him pray to use his power just to spite the other MC. And said magic is then used to kill thousands of people like it was nothing.
This show is a strange mix of action and science fiction. The base concept is pretty crazy, but the action scenes are well-done and the world-building is surprisingly good.
2. Drifters
The show was originally pitched as a sitcom about a group of friends who go on vacation together. However, after some creative changes, the show became something much more. It’s now a comedy that is full of heart and humor.
But what if the person dies before meeting some sort of god? What if they wake up in a world where they don’t even know who they are? That’s the premise of this story.
You enter a new world where you see all the usual fantasy tropes, like demi-humans and elves. However, there is also something new.
After the reveal that the rest of the cast is made up of feared historical figures, viewers are left with more questions than answers. ..
In the scene where Nobunaga meets some elves, I would love to see him with some elves. They are so cute and I love their culture.
Anime was created to entertain people.
The show has an uncharacteristically grimy art style and more gore than you’d know what to do with, which makes it stand out.
Hellsing x isekai x a history textbook crossover is a great idea, and I’m glad it was made! ..
1. No Game, No Life
This week, the anime streaming service Crunchyroll announced that they will be airing the second season of Madhouse’s hit show, “A Silent Voice.” If you’re not already a fan of the show, now is the time to start watching it. The first season ended on a high note with an amazing cliffhanger that left many fans eager for more.
This is why it’s never going to happen.
The show’s hook is that in the new world, everything has to be decided through a game. The game is so simple and yet so brilliant that it could be the perfect way to settle all disputes and make decisions.
It’s a fun place to go for a day of relaxation and fun.
This custom is a law that was set by the universe’s god and it allows for some of the most interesting fights in anime. This opens up the door for some of the most exciting battles that can be seen in anime.
The show never gets stale because it always changes up the game play. ..
It frustrates me that more shows don’t have the courage to implement completely different world laws in their fantasy worlds. ..
In a world where everything is different, where the basic rules of reality don’t apply, what could be more exciting than a world where things fundamentally don’t even function the same as in ours?
No Game, No Life is one of the most unique anime series out there. ..
