The Saint’s Magic Power Is Omnipotent

Seen it

JoeFreshest

Iruma Iruma!

Mikhail

I love the music themes from there. Definitely cute :3 Unfortunately it felt getting really monotonous/cliché midway through 1st season, so I put it on hold. Perhaps need to resume watching where I left off. 3 seasons means it must be that good.

Kot Bajun

Definite second on chivalry of a failed knight

since it prety much the first moderne isekai and even more since the site where mushoku tensei , konosuba , re zero and a lot of other that is call Shōsetsuka ni Narō was originaly a site when fangirl post fanfiction of znt it true that it a clasical isekai BUT i have to say if you dislike all clichez in isekai i would advice again since it create it all but if do not bother you go ahead last point the anime and the ln have two story totaly diferent after the 3th season since the 4th season is a origial ending

I think it might be the art style that makes people skip it before giving it a try. It's pretty vibrant and has a 2000s feel to it which most people probably aren't into. I know I thought that at first and I'm so glad I gave it the chance because now I actually love the art style and the series it's so damn good. Not to mention the manga just keeps getting better and better!

Pyraph

Another vote here, Iruma is awesome. Looking forward to the new season!

Pyraph

Huh. I'm surprised I've never heard of it. I might check it out myself now. Looks promising per what I've read so far :thumbs-up:

Kot Bajun

How Not to Summon a Demon Lord

F34Rmachine

drifters

Dragon

Yup. Truly. I’d even say it’s a very rare type of pure fantasy with , I believe, no isekai elements whatsoever. And it’s not even a “magical girl” type of a show either. There are very few of these pure fantasy shows as most of those involving magic falls under either of the 2 previous genre. Another one is The Ancient Magus’ Bride, but I didn’t like the ending ( the direction the story was going with side villain chars), so can’t recommend. When I watched Magi it definitely gave me good old fantasy show vibes like Slayers and Gokudo which I’d still recommend to anyone who’s looking for a decent 90s fantasy show :3

Kot Bajun

:nods:

Kot Bajun

Yup. I’ve recommended it as well, but since it’s a bit long (45 eps) might not cut it. But it is very very good. Ascendance of the Bookworm level of storytelling good :3 I loved it when I watched it long time ago.

Kot Bajun

ambition of Oda Nobuna would also fit your really well its a well made adaption and super funny while also learning history

Sven Hegenbart

Just upgraded to Freshest, have to see that reaction!

Kristian Steko

Yes, yes, yes and I plan on watching Isekai Quartet soon

JoeFreshest

Ive seen the 2 seasons but not the movie

JoeFreshest

We've already done reactions to Tanya

JoeFreshest

I swear Magi is the forgotten fantasy that nearly everyone skips when asked for a recommendation

wahninomae

Oh didn't see that you had already written it, yeah Iruma is dope

Alexekokota

Youjo senki, Drifters and the ambition of Oda Nobuna

Kristian Steko

dang the movie was the best part, you gotta watch it fr

luis

yeah! me too

The Constantine

As said in another comment, i vouch for that too!

Alexekokota

Konosuba 100% if you have not seen it already

Artiix

I don't know if you watched 1. Overlord, 2. Youjo senki and 3.Konosuba, And since you already watched Re Zero, then you can watch Isekai Quartet hahaha

Ecodude

Restaurants to another world great anime both seasons and you are correct I would consider it a reverse isekai

Brian Carotenuto

i advice for a old show call the 12 kingdom one of the best show i know

azope

Familiar of Zero, a classic Isekai before Isekai genre became famous.

Stefan Weisenburger

Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?!

Ari

Fate series

yng.joji

SAO ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Konrad Sosin

A underrated series in my opinion, but I recommend ''Mairimashita! Iruma-kun'' or ''Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun''

Plechtorix

I forgot about Iruma. I hope it wins.

Mikhail

I forgot about Iruma. I vote for it too.

Mikhail

Here's an "Isekai" that most people never gives a chance, and then people regrets skipping it, Mairimashita Iruma-kun. S3 coming out this fall and I absolutely adore that series.

Alexekokota

2) Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress MAL lists it as "Fantasy", but perhaps it's a stretch. More supernatural than anything 🤔

Kot Bajun

Kuma kuma bear

Yonko Magikarp

1) Magi: Labyrinth of Magic ( season 1 name, 25 eps - Fantasy). Another one, since my other suggestion been watched apparently:3 Nothing too extraordinary, but was enjoyable back in a day nonetheless.

Kot Bajun

Already seen it, didn’t do reactions. It’s one of the top 2 isekai I’ve seen

JoeFreshest

Seen the first season but haven’t seen the movie

JoeFreshest

Seen it. Really like this one

JoeFreshest

Seen it. I liked it

JoeFreshest

I recommend Machikado mazoku

Kamono

Restaurant to another world? It’s technically an Isekai.

Fate stay night unlimited blade works

3) Three options, but based on # of episodes, perhaps only 3rd should be considered. -- Hunter x Hunter (2011) is just too good on many levels, but over 100 eps. -- The Twelve Kingdoms (Fantasy, 45 episodes, "slower" shiw, but good storytelling alike to Ascendance of a Bookworm) -- Haibane Renmei (Fantasy, 13 eps, not quite an isekai, but kind of, very unique world. When I was watching Made in Abyss, it gave me Haibane vibes, for sure as it's an older show).

Kot Bajun

Mushishi

Yuki Aly

My Next Life as a Villainess: All routes lead to doom Super Funny Isekai Spice and Wolf classic Fantasy story everyone should watch

Sven Hegenbart

2) Re:Zero (Season 1, unless you've seen it) I'd say it's a twisted, psychologically dark isekai. The closest from what you've seen is Goblin Slayer, perhaps, but more intense? Opinionated. :shrugs:

Kot Bajun

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha

Sovereign

Tower of Druaga

Sovereign

1) No Game no Life (12 episodes + movie one day plz). Both isekai, fantasy, comedy genre wise. Movie is more drama/romance on top and even better than the series.

Kot Bajun

Fate Zero would be nice

CliffPL

Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry is a show that some people like and some dont but i still think everyone should watch it , so i recommend that too, its a bit short but i liked it.

ShroomPK

rakudai kishi no cavalry

The Constantine

Wise man's grandchild

In another world with my smartphone

Kyle Nolan

Familiar of zero

Kyle Nolan

i 2nd kuma kuma kuma bear, was a nice wholesome isekai i felt

Darkcarkiller666

1. Kuma Kuma, Kuma Bear (second season should be out this year) 2. My Next Life as a Villainess: All routes lead to doom (has 2 seasons out, is really fun) 3. The Fruit of Evolution: Before I knew it, My life had it made (is currently airing on Crunchyroll, and has been a fun watch)

Stephen

Zombie Land Saga

Ari

Ill keep posting Iruma-kun until it wins one day

Benn Abbot

Land of the Lustrous/Houseki no Kuni is the greatest 3d anime and it is a favorite of mine.

Deven Mitchell

what about Gleipnir?

Chris

Hai to Gensou no Grimgar

InflatedNailClipper

Fair enough

Some guy named Chris

JoeFreshest

Kyoukai no Kanata

luis

Fate Series fate fans get in here

luis

Knights & Magic lol i'll try again. its a really fun anime

Darkcarkiller666

Third on Rakudai Kishi No Cavalry Why not lol

Nickel

Second on Rakudai Kishi No Cavalry A little trash, but enjoyable nonetheless.

devin782

I'll give it another shot: Spice and Wolf

devin782

Dog Days is good

Mikhail

Reincarnated as a Slime.

Some guy named Chris

1. Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry (A Chivalry of the Failed Knight) [Fantasy] 1 Season 12 ep 2. Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo? (Problem children are coming from another world, aren't they?) [Fantasy & isekai] 1 Season 10 ep 3. Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu (The Otherworldly Demon King and the Summoner Girls' Slave Magic) [Fantasy, isekai and a LOT of Ecchi but it's really funny] 2 Seasons * IF you already saw any of these, I will change to a different show.

Mikhail

I really like an isekai named dog days there's 3 seasons it is an older anime but I believe that the animation is still pretty good here is a link to the trailer ( It says dog days 2 but it is really for dog days 1 ) https://youtu.be/UPs6C9W-5SE
