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

if you like this one check on the others

Anime where the main character already has overpowered skills from the start. (Spoiler)

Continuation of https://myanimelist.net/stacks/12544

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

Love them or hate them, these blobs are a genre mainstay in their own right. Also, I just think they're neat (´ ∀ ` ).

Only first seasons are listed in this stack.

Post-2020 shows involving utaites/Vocaloid producers (inc. former).
Most of these are first time anime appearances/collaborations.

Pre-2020: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/238

Roughly grouped by utaites > vocaloid producer units > producers

I haven't been keeping up with seasonals these days so you can poke me to add stuff :D

I have amassed a repertoire of super binge-able shows which cannot be called "TRASH".

There may be some gems not on this list.

Yes the Main characters are probably overpowered but these do it the best,

This is the very pinnacle of the genre. Peak immersion.

Ranked from Best to worst.

I summarize the series, so bad seasons will tank the series.

JUST INCLUDING PIONEERING SEASON, BUT IT REPRESENTS ALL OF THE AVAILABLE SEASONS.

BUT WHERE? IS 2024 ones? WHY AREN'T THERE ALOT FROM 2024? This year had many recurring ones and the new ones were awful.

Not here? I haven't watched it or it's truly isekai trash.

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.

If you've enjoyed any Anime from this stack, feel free to check out this stack: Fantasy Anime with an OP MC (No Isekai)

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!

This is the second part of the stack. Including chad anime protagonists.

Will not add seasons related to same animes from part 1 to keep the list short.

This stack consolidates watch recommendations for Summer 2023 from several YouTube critics/commentators. URLs are frowned upon in stacks so go to YouTube and search if you want to watch the videos. Or you can watch them at this blog post:
https://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=900154

Mother's Basement (Geoff Thew) 1.32M subs: "Beat the Summer heat (and smoke) with the best new anime of the season!" MB only mentions his top 10 recommendations but includes a "bargain bin" with what amount to runners-up. In this stack, if MB is not in the description, then the show did not make his list. Returning or continuing shows are not included in his review. If you want to see his tier list for all shows, look for the Basement Life video noted below.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YwoExo6hi4

Glass Reflection (Tristan Gallant) 582K subs: GR provides his first reaction to all the new seasonal anime in terms of whether he will be watching them: "Toss" those he is not interested in; "Hold" pending further judgment; "Keep" the ones to watch. GR watches at least the first episode of each show. Returning or continuing shows are not included in his review.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZiu3gHb-eA

Garnt 477K subs: "I Watched EVERY Anime in Summer 2023". Garnt's rating system: "Must watch" for shows he will be watching for sure; "three episodes" for shows that catch his eye but don't yet rate a full season commitment; "one episode" for shows he will give a chance; "skip" for those shows he is not planning to watch. Garnt passes judgment based on the show description and trailer. The review video is a 38 minute edit of a five hour (!) livestream. A few of the shows were cut from the edit, presumably because they were rated Skip without much fanfare.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-95z9B2pY4I

Gigguk 3.52M subs: "Summer Anime 2023 in a Nutshell". Garnt and Gigguk are the same person - I don't know the channels well enough to tell the difference. This video is a rundown of shows this season with often snarky commentary, but unlike the others supporting this stack, there is no systematic evaluation. I do enjoy the snark so I'll try to capture some of it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfrZW6JVWvA

AH Brandon Reviews 59.4K subs: "What Will Brandon Watch Summer of Anime 2023". Brandon makes YouTube videos for shows that he enjoys watching and that pique the interest of his community. He will drop shows that either don't meet expectations or don't generate interest from his community. Brandon's subscriber count is modest compared to the others here, but his tastes and sensibilities are similar to my own so his review is included here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlZW-38sxiI

414Anime 151K subs: "DO NOT MISS These Summer 2023 Anime". 414Anime mostly makes listicle-type videos. Given his subscriber count, I guess people like these lists. His review doesn't include popular returning anime like Jujustu Kaisen. I will simply list 414Anime under the show if they make his list.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI4rpLf1PPk

Animeology 182K subs: "Top 10 Best New Anime For Summer 2023". Animeology also mostly makes listicle-type videos. This review contains 10 shows in rank order: 1 > 10. For each show, I'll just note the rank order (not too sure how a Summer 2023 top 10 list exists without Bleach).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ZAtaM2HU4

Basement Life (also Geoff Thew) 39.3K subs: "I Ranked EVERY Anime of Summer 2023". This is a side-channel for Mother's Basement. The MB review listed the top 10 in no particular order. This review is a tier list for *all* anime this season. In my opinion, this is a pretty good assessment across the board, but beware, this is a 56 min video. Tiers: Banger > Good > Ok > Mid > Bad > Trash. Thew uses "Trash" to mean a show could be real trash, but also could be "good trash" in that people with specific tastes might enjoy it. A nicely animated harem anime might qualify as "good trash". For each show, I'll simply note the tier level.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teAfAC7U84s

I will interject in a few cases but for the most part, the focus is on the recommendations from the YouTube commentators.

=-=

Just eyeballing the consensus amongst the critics, these are the shows to watch, in alpha order.

Three returning heavy hitters:
* Bleach
* Jujutsu Kaisen
* Mushoku Tensei

Plus five new shows:
* Dark Gathering
* Reborn as a Vending Machine
* Reign of the Seven Spellblades
* Undead Murder Farce
* Zom 100

=-=-=- Mid-season Update -=-=-=

I'll add to this stack as more mid-season and post-season reviews roll in.

Otaku Spirit 14.4K subs: "Does Japan Love Your Favorite Anime? Summer 2023 Anime Ranking!" Contrasting anime popularity in Japan and the West using popular ranking systems and sites such as MAL and Anilist. I added the mid-season rankings for the top 10 on MAL and Anilist to the appropriate shows. I skipped the long-running and carry-over shows on the MAL "Top Airing" list (why is Eminence in Shadow still on the Top Airing list?). The other lists OS cites are: Anikore (Anilist equivalent), Akiba Souken, NicoNico Video (Japanese YouTube equivalent), and Dimora (weekly TV rankings). I don't read Japanese so I am going strictly and only by what OS says about these sites. He doesn't cover every ranking so if he doesn't talk about it, it is "n/a". A show that doesn't have a ranking was not mentioned at all.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0eFWSpLRUw&t=201s

ViniiTube 1.06M subs: "Top 10 Best New Anime of Summer 2023". This is a mid-season Top 10 list of the best non-sequel shows. ViniiTube mostly produces listicle-type videos. The anime are described in order from 10 to 1, 1 being best. I've noted the placement in the appropriate description.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrbFBAfVx1s

Echidnut 241K subs: "Ranking the Best Anime in Summer & Spring 2023 (Tier List)". Tier list using TierMaker. Standard tiers: God > S > A > B > C > D. I only noted tiers for the Summer shows.

=-=-=- Post-season Update -=-=-=

Otaku Spirit 17.1K subs: "Best Anime of the Summer 2023 Season!". Top 10. "... unfortunately this season where we've seen a really big gap between the good and the bad."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqJp0ZqHwm0

Clockwork Dandy Noodles 719 subs: "Top 3 Summer Anime 2023! Summer Anime Awards!". More than three awards but I only noted the Top 3.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jchk3BbYXRA

this a list of anime based mainly around dungeons or labyrinth it can be a world where the entire society is based off the dungeons or the story that place mainly in dungeon
