Conception

For the inner masochist in you! The 40 lowest rated, completed, full-length anime on MAL of at least 10+ episodes, updated at the end of every season. Minarai Dive is considered a + because of it's borderline anime status and odd length episodes, and Dimension high School is a + for being partially not anime.

Anime that are largely about the sex lives of the characters or exploratory/educational/parody learning about sex. The level of ecchi is very different, from metaphorical (Darling in the Franxx) to open softcore (ishuzoku Reviewers)

A list of anime containing ecchi elements, but are not tagged as ecchi by MAL. While the ecchi content may not be as prevalent or extreme as officially-tagged ecchi titles, there is still enough to be of interest to fans of the ecchi genre. Many of these register at least 1.5/3 stars on AniDB's "tag-weighting" system for ecchi.
Conversely, those who don't care for ecchi may wish to use this stack for cautionary purposes, as these titles may contain things like pantyshots, revealing outfits, incestuous overtones, oversized/jiggling breasts, swimsuit/lingerie moments, extended bath/shower scenes, lewd dream/fantasy sequences, innuendo, or general fanservice in an otherwise serious/"respectable" show.
Only the first seasons of franchises are listed. Some titles may (eventually) have additional details explaining why I've placed them on the list.

My Official True Isekai Anime Stack.

What Classified as an Isekai.

1. It requires a Transportation Method.
2. Must be a Physical world that the MC can live and survive
3. Doesn't involve alternative timeline and time traveling of the MCs Original World.
Transportation Method:
1. Replication
- Transfer the body and soul/consciousness into your new world after you die Ex. Konosuba and Drifters

2. Reincarnation
- After your death your soul/consciousness will be transferred into a new body, creature, thing or even a building

3. Summoning
- A person or Group of People enchant a magic stuff to transfer a person/group of people to their world. Via Portal or Magic Circle

4. Soul/Consciousness Integration
-The soul/consciousness after its original body died and now living in the another body with its other soul/consciousness.
Then integrated into one soul/consciousness that both remember its past life and his current life. Ex. Serei Gensouki

5. Gate Way/Door Way
Building that appears out of nowhere that bridge two worlds. Ex. GATE

6. Teleportation
Machine that teleports you to that world one way or another. Often its a one way trip. Ex. Sentouin, Hakenshimasu

7. Kidnapping
A person or Whole area got transported to another world without any explanation. Ex. Overlord, Re:Zero

These are all Isekai Themed Animes. I will only add 1 Season per Series so the stack can shorten and see How many Isekai are out there.

I'm still going to add more to the stack until its full and making another stack for part.

Low rated but popular isekai.
Not all trashy isekai are trash isekai.
Some on this list were enjoyable for me, others were unbearable.

Trashy Isekai Scale:
Above 7.00 = Really Good
7.00 - 6.50 = Good
6.49 - 6.00 = Okay
Below 6.00 = Bad

Ratings below 6 I usually skip.
Scale applies only if you're an enjoyer of the copy paste isekai formula.
Good isekai are listed on my other stack, Best Isekai Watchlist.

‣ Soukou Musume Senki (Wouldn't call it trashy, just trash)

Updated as of the Spring 2024 Season.
Many new trashy isekai are coming out every season.

Here’s a list of isekai anime that are kind of average
—not too bad, but not great either
—just decent enough to be watchable.

While some of these anime are genuinely bad, isn’t meant to generalize the entire genre. I’ve included Some of them are not widely known either. These are the kind of anime people often point to when trying to justify the idea that isekai as a genre is bad.

Watching these lower-tier isekai shows can help you understand what works and what doesn’t in the genre. There are definitely worse anime out there, and while these may not be the best, they’re still worth a watch. Ok, my bad—some of them are actually quite bad, so take caution. But don’t worry, the really bad ones are already labeled as such!

Isekai authors take note.


Based on romaji titles

Banger Opening or Endings that had the bad luck of being used on a rather bad or mediocre show. One that didn't live up to it.



The idea is for series that are mediocre/bad whose only redeeming feature was the OP and/or ED.


Suggestions are welcome.
(Ideally shows with a mean score under 6, but no more than 6.50)

The YouTube channel Mother's Basement has released a number of "Worst Anime of <year>" videos wherein the host roasts (and often demolishes) the worst anime of the subject year. This interest stack is a compilation of those anime from the years 2018 thru 2022.

As formatting and links are frowned upon in interest stacks, you can find the actual review videos in my corresponding blog post. You can also just search YouTube.

Shows are listed in historical order. The year is noted and if appropriate or helpful or amusing, one or more selected quotes from the review are included as well. [I will also interject when the need/desire arises. -ed.]

2018 through 2021 are presented as a list of five worst of the year 1 (worst) > 5 (least worst)

2022 is presented as an "awards" show - not the kind of award to hope for.

I only use these reviews to help eliminate, or at least decrease the priority of, shows on my watchlist. Sadly, I'd already watched a number of these shows before I saw the reviews. I offer this stack in the hopes that some of you may spend more time watching entertaining shows by avoiding some real stinkers. Or if you enjoyed some of these, more power to you.
