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!

work in progress

Some of the out of the box ideas for isekai anime. titles so ridiculous but good.

some fresh and unconventional ideas that challenge common sense.

Although isekai smartphone idea was quite ridiculous I think the anime that set the trend with the most creative offering was Tensura.

Reincarnated as a Slime
Reincarnated as a Skeleton
Reincarnated as a Spider
Reincarnated as a Sword
Reincarnated as a Vending Machine
Reincarnated as a Pig

Reverse Isekai: myanimelist.net/stacks/32986

This is a compilation of the hottest trash anime of Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall 2023, as proclaimed by the Mother's Basement YouTube channel. This is "gaaarbaage" served fresh by "shaaay gaaarbaaage". You'll get the idea if you watch the videos or maybe you can figure it out from the shows stacked here.

"You guys need to understand, trash isn't always a bad thing. I adore trash. The whole reason I do this in the first place is so I can get paid roll around in the stuff." -- Geoff Thew

"When I call an anime trash, I'm not saying it's of inherently poor quality. That would be garbage. Trashiness isn't about quality at all. It's about taste. Or rather the deliberate and often delightful lack thereof. Trash is gaudy. Casually offensive. Nakedly self-indulgent, pun full-frontally intended... But some trash uses its unparalleled creative freedom to break truly new narrative ground." -- Geoff Thew

I try to pull a few amusing or informative quotes and include the trash rating. The rating system is based on trash receptacles and fire. A dumpster fire is probably considered a five or six on a scale of one to ten, but the system is definitely not rigorous or linear.

There isn't a particular order or implied rank in the presentation but I'll try to keep them listed here in the order they appear.

You can find the YouTube videos in this blog post: https://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=900440. There are chapter markers to help you get to specific portions of the video, though sometimes the titles are a bit cryptic. You can also follow these links:

This stack exceeded the 50 item limit so I split it in two. See the stack: "2023 Fall YouTube Critics Recommendations - Returning & Continuing Shows" for the rest. Sorry for the inconvenience.


This stack consolidates watch recommendations for Fall 2023 from several YouTube critics/commentators. Stacked in alpha order.

------------------------------< Pre-season >------------------------------

These are recommendations based on hype, buzz, trailers, and sometimes the reputation of the creative team.

414Anime 152K subs: "The Fall 2023 Anime NOT TO MISS!". Highlighting new anime. Not ranked or ordered so I'll just note it one each show mentioned.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7v3zaojfcY

AH Brandon Reviews 60.2K subs: "What Will Brandon Watch Fall of Anime 2023". "I won't be going over everything, just some of the things that catch my eye." His channel content is driven largely by audience interest so this isn't a "what to watch" recommendation. More like someone taking the pulse of his community.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfXBbRNvltg

DomoSenpai 4.25K subs: "Ranking EVERY Anime for the Fall 2023 Season". Tier list. Tiers from highest to lowest: Most Anticipated > Intrigued > Might Check Out > Meh > Dog Shtt > Not Interested.

Garnt 498K subs: "I Watched EVERY Anime in Fall 2023". This is an edited version of a nearly 5 hour stream covering every anime in the Fall 2023 season. Ranking: Must Watch; Three episodes (potential); One episode (give it a chance); Skip. Based on each anime description and trailers. Presumably, shows that were edited out were ranked Skip without much fanfare.
"Anime doesn't make sense anymore!"

Full stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB0LL2nHK-A (include chapter markers)

Nems Reviews 89 subs: "Anime Worth Watching in Fall 2023". Not ranked so I'll just add the channel to each entry he mentions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IyHNgtjO7Q

Otaku Spirit 15.7K subs: "Top 10 Exciting Fall 2023 Anime!". His top 10 new anime for Fall. Based largely on the strength of the PV but sometimes fueled by the past performance of the creative team. I added the countdown from 10 to 1 (most exciting).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SIsXMfTFrs

Razovy Revived 26.8K subs: "Watch These Anime Fall 2023 | Razovy Revived". Not ranked or ordered.

ViniiTube 1.06M subs: "Top 10 Most Anticipated New Anime of Fall 2023". Ranked from 10 to 1 (most anticipated). In contrast to the preceding entry, this is for new shows only. Identified by ViniiTube (new) in the entries below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5WEpvfctIw

I expect a number of Top 10... channels will put out Top 10 lists for Fall 2023. I'm going to collect their votes for each show without further commentary from me.

It's pretty clear "Sousou no Frieren" (Frieren: Beyond Journey's End) is the locomotive pulling the hype-train this Fall. "Undead Unluck" has the next most interest, followed by, surprisingly, "Kusuriya no Hitorigoto" (The Apothecary Diaries).

-----<

Otaku Spirit 14.8K subs: "Same Mistake Again! Fall 2023 Is Too Much?". As of early Sep 2023, MAL lists 62 new TV anime, 8 ONA, and 13 Movies for Fall 2023. If you are annoyed by release delays and schedule issues, this video will shed some light. You'll also get a peek behind-the-scenes of the anime industry.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGIbg2vN_BI&t=633s

------------------------------< First Impressions >------------------------------

Gigguk 3.54M subs: "Fall Anime 2023 in a Nutshell". "What am I doing with my life?" G runs through 24 new and returning shows this season with his usual sarcastic commentary, singling out a few for praise. He didn't have much to say about any other shows. I try to capture the tone of his comments and include chapter markers so you can watch for yourself.

Glass Reflection 583K subs: "I Watched EVERY SINGLE NEW ANIME of the Fall 2023 Season...". To be clear, does not include sequels, new seasons, or returning shows. Based on the first episode or three, the rating system describes whether a show will remain on his watch list, or not. GR will "Keep" shows he will continue watching; "Toss" shows he won't be continuing; and "Hold" for those shows that need a few more episodes before deciding. Chapter markers included for your viewing convenience.

Mother's Basement 1.33M subs: "The BEST Anime of Fall 2023 - Ones to Watch". Unranked Top 10 with 15 honorable mentions, aka, the bargain bin. Covering new shows only. Plus some mentions for upcoming shows on Netflix: "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off", "Onimusha", and "Good Night World"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9XWqjP8tGo

Plus individual videos noted for the appropriate show.

------------------------------< Mid- and Post-season Reviews >------------------------------

Garnt 529K subs: "Ranking Fall 2023 Anime". Some favorites and some least-favorites on a tier list (D < C < B < A < S + Didn't Watch; B is the middle tier.). He doesn't cover every Fall 2023 show - probably because he didn't watch them all (so what is the Didn't Watch tier?) This is an edited version of a 2 hr 37 min stream on the GiggukVOD channel. The VOD version has chapter markers so you can watch your favorite segment in full. There are no chapter markers for the edited version so I estimated time hacks from the transcript.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tceiuy13kSE

Mother's Basement 1.34M subs: "HOTTEST TRASH Anime of Fall 2023". Unranked but flaming-trash-receptacle-rated.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrW3DnC0i1g

I will update this stack as more anime YouTubers release Fall 2023 videos.

Anime featuring characters with some form of known Telepathy.

*This stack is a work in progress, please message me if you have any examples you want me to add!

a list inspired on Stardust Telepath... this season that we got 3 title in a row with shy girls all at once... a work in progress list any suggestion is welcome.

Anime related to animals, where animals have an important role in the story

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

Isekai as a genre has become so ridiculously saturated that in order for your light novel to be memorable, you cannot simply have someone be sent to another world and defeat the demon lord. Nowadays, there has to be a catch. Isekai, but...

Anything specific enough that has become isekai subgenre (I.E "I was reborn as the villainess" or "I have cheat-like abilities" not included)

That Time I got Reincarnated As... ( Non Human Character)
