A gender-oriented story which revolves around the lead protagonist tends to transform into their opposite gender by some supernatural phenomena or simply cross-dressing.

One of the least explored but widely used as a comical sequence in many popular shows.

This is a curated list of anime related to MMORPG, Dating sims and not just limited to isekai. although is mostly comprised of isekai I have included some others stories that are very related to dating sims that dont have any stereotypical trope of dying or being summoned just a slice of life plain everyday going into school and meeting new people and doing day to day errands.

this list of anime of protagonist that has woke up in a game... MMORPG and some others

this stories that doesnt seems plausible does needs to some mental gymnastics to write about them is a long topic that will play my mind as i have to unravel the logics of the isekai with ai and the simulated parallel world that also will miss the reincarnation thing. so Ive see that these stories are heavily criticized but if we think deeper to craft these types of stories does take a while.

during free time do try to think about them.

this list expand on the first stack of fav isekai picks...
for the selection on this list on anime that shares many commonalities...
most of the selection is the mc joining a fantasy game world setting...
Most on the list the Mc have a game interface...
some are repeated on the first list but is because is to wrap the ones that shares others similar traits ... this list narrow in certain type of vibe in isekai

game stats level grinding


because the concept presented by these types of anime that makes a lot of philosophical question makes it for an try to cover most of the topics but they are really interesting to me of how these digital worlds question are asked.

theres a lot of cosmo vision around this and why is important as you guys know that humanity likes to play god and we humans might be living a simulation.

for now the highlight for the list is

Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo
Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World

Only good vibes, for the most part.
Not too much drama and all happy endings (cuz screw realism, that's why am watching animu).
MC living the life you'd always wanted.

A list that contains Isekai/fantasy (Game worlds) animes.

Raw power only.

OP MC DESTROYS ENEMY SCRUBS (EXTRA): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/50113
OP MC DESTROYS ENEMY SCRUBS (EXTRAA): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/15385
OP MC STRATEGIST BIGBRAIN TACTICIANS THE ENTIRE GALAXY: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/13806

literally just animes with an op mc

Almost every single isekai and reverse isekai anime is there in this list (made in Fall 2022 and there is a part 1 if you haven't checked it out)

Edit: Updated Winter 2023

Isekai (and videogame) anime with a female main character.


See notes for genres and clarifications.

These shows have booba in them

Anime featuring characters talking in cat puns or appending NYAA~ to sentences.

Please let me know which series are missing and I'll happily add them to the stack.

Main character is either OP from the get go or becomes OP as the series progresses (Will mention if it's the latter)

1. No animes where MC is OP but we don't get enough action (EX: I've been killing slimes for 300 years and Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren't They?)

For the simple minded people who still enjoy the fine art of watching bland main characters whoop everyone's asses and mostly always accumulate a harem of fine bitches.


No sequels / look up ur self
Not only isekai but majority is.

Part 2 : https://myanimelist.net/stacks/32322

ok this list includes gender bending mostly by magical means, some are through surgeries and lastly some of the list was a male in previous life that upon the reincarnation became female.

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.

This is a stack of Isekai Anime with Overpowered Main Characters.

All of the MCs in this stack are OP from the start.

Only the first seasons of each show will be included in this stack.

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!
