Villainess redemption ... or revenge, I like them both. A second chance at life. Adventure and love in another world. This is 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!

Shousetsuka ni Narou, “Let’s become a novelist!”, is Japan's novel publishing website where anyone can publish and read novels free of charge. These animes are the anime of Shousetsuka ni Narou origin.

These are anime series adapted from light novel series (and manga series) currently licensed for English translation by J-Novel Club, sorted in order of MAL user score. Only the first anime series of each license has been added here. Since JNC constantly brings in new licenses, some anime may not have been added yet.

Since the list only allow 50 entries, it's essentially a Top 50 of JNC anime. Released anime that haven't made the top 50 cut (in order of score) include:

* Clockwork Planet
* Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou sugite, Isekai no Yatsura ga Marude Aite ni Naranai n desu ga. (My Instant Death Ability is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me!)
* Buta no Liver wa Kanetsu Shiro (Butareba -The Story of a Man Who Turned into a Pig-)
* Beatless
* Infinite Dendrogram
* Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni. (In Another World With My Smartphone)
* Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria (The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar)
* Dekisokonai to Yobareta Motoeiyuu wa Jikka kara Tsuihou sareta node Sukikatte ni Ikiru Koto ni Shita (The Banished Former Hero Lives as He Pleases)
* Ao Oni The Animation (Aooni The Blue Monster)

Some announced future JNC animes: Kisaki Kyouiku kara Nigetai Watashi; Koujo Denka no Kateikyoushi; Nageki no Bourei wa Intai shitai; Nihon e Youkoso Elf-san.; Risou no Himo Seikatsu; Tomodachi no Imouto ga Ore ni dake Uzai;

A list of anime that I find relaxing and perfect to watch after work. No focus needed, just sit down and enjoy the calm moments.


The list is obviously subjective. Your taste might differ and that's totally fine.

I am only adding the first seasons of each longer series!
