Mahoutsukai Reimeiki

This stack contains non-isekai fantasy anime that you could easily mistake for being an isekai.


Isekai means "different world" and is a Japanese genre of portal fantasy and science fiction. It is a bit hard to define, but generally revolves around a person (or multiple people) who are transported or reincarnated into another world.
Since this definition is fairly broad, you'll find some shows like "Sonny Boy" or "Bakemono no Ko" that are technically isekai, but may not seem like it, as they do not share the most common tropes that you'll see in other isekai anime like “Death March”, “Kenja no Mago”, “Isekai smartphone” or “Mushoku Tensei”. While these shows are not completely identical, they do share a number of tropes, like having a male protagonist enter a medieval fantasy world filled with monsters and magic where they either start with powerful abilities or slowly gain them, similarly to progressing in a fantasy RPG. It is also common for similar isekai shows to include game mechanics like ability stats, skill names, UI screens or even an infinite inventory. Another common trope is for the protagonist to be a chosen or summoned hero who goes on a quest to save the world, ending up with great powers, great riches and a harem of love interests.


This is a list of shows that could be mistaken as isekai since they share a lot of the most common tropes, but missing the element of being transported to another world.


A great example is “Danmachi” where the protagonist already exists in a fantasy world, has a unique and powerful ability and explores a dungeon full of monsters, gaining new stats and skills as though he was the protagonist of a fantasy RPG. Other examples include powerful protagonists being reborn within the same world or shows mostly taking place within a VRMMO.

Feel free to send me a message if I’ve included an actual isekai by mistake, or if you have any suggestions!

All these anime's include very shippable characters who mostly have no other person in the anime you could possibly ship them with. This is a marketing ploy because this makes anime/ships very popular as well as being apart of the lgbtqia+ community is not openly embraced by any Asian media. A lot of these anime's has novels, manga chps, side manga, official art, and drama cds that are very suggestive or downright very gay. They have all have very suggestive scenes in the animes as well including op, ed, end credits that are very fruity.

disclaimer: Includes anime with non-canon couples, non canon lgbt but all animes are gay coded in a way that queer people recognize. Also most have anime with canon lgbtqia+ characters

I watched all of these anime during Spring 2022

Top Anime (in my opinion)

New in spring 2022:
Top 1 definitely SPY X Family, Dad is spy, Mom is killer and their daughter is esper
Top 1 Paripi Koumei is also good, The story is interesting and unique because it's about ML who was thrown into the modern world from the Three Kingdoms era and then he used the strategy of the Three Kingdoms War to help FL in the world of music in the modern era, plus the opening song is popular because it's fun.
Top 2 TOMODACHI GAME is also fun, choose friends or money, anime with a psychological genre whose plot is not heavy, but lots of plot twists, the MC is not naive, the MC is the best this season
Top 3 AO ASHI which is about football is also good to watch

Sequel:
Top 1 GINGA EIYUU DENSETSU S3, the story is unique and interesting because of the war between galaxies, the animation is also really good, unfortunately there's nothing to discuss, at MAL it's winter because it's broadcast at the end of winter-mid spring. The osts from s1-s3 are very good
Top 2 KOMI SAN S2 is also good, komi is very hard to communicate but her friends help her and very funny

Completed series:
Top 1 TSURUNE, the character design is very typical of Kyoani, because there has never been an anime about archery, it makes me curious and it turns out it's good too, so I can't wait for the movie which will be broadcast this year.
Top 2 KAZE GA TSUYOKU FUITEIRU about running is also interesting

Movie:
Top 1 definitely FRUITS BASKET PRELUDE the story is about FL's father's past, whose face was only seen in the last minute of season 3 and his mother
Top 2 Summer Ghost, If I don't watch the Fruits Basket movie, SUMMER GHOST is the best. The story is about 3 people who have 'no reason' to live, who meet each other through an internet site to look for a 'summer ghost' who is said to come when the fireworks are set off.

Notes: I have definitely watched/read the anime/manga that I give a rating
I will not give a rating below 5, Rating 5 for me = 1, >8 = recommended
if it's not good for me, the status "Dropped" and no rating

I'm a lazy-ass mofo, so I'mma just copy-paste the description from the part 1 of the stack.

A compilation of anime that can be watched in the background, PiP mode, at 2x speed or with skips without really missing out on too much.

These anime might have nice art style or soundtrack but usually come with pretty average animation (because their budget was equal to 3 bowls of rice and 2 cans of Asahi beer), pretty average story (usually, an Isekai one) and usually have an open ending.

This list will be updated from time to time.
