Anime: Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi

Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi addpermalink

Isekai anime where a dude is isekai'd and has the ability to do net shopping directly from Japan and obtain items from there too.
Main difference would be that the net shopping abilities are part of the plot differently to each other, Tonsuki using it mainly for gourmet purposes introducing yummy foods to characters whereas Arafoo using it mainly as a ways of making money purchasing things and crafting things for residents.

Isekai about middle-aged men with an online supermarket, that can buy almost anything online to their new world.
I feel that Tondemo Skill is more relaxed because of the cooking, but I like Around 40 Otoko because it is more focused on the constructions. 

(Around 40 Otoko has harem which i don't love but don't mind either and Tondemo Skill doesn't)

If I had a nickel for every time a salaryman got isekai'ed and possessed the skill of online shopping, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. The wonders of online shopping, am I right?

Instead of using his power as a means to cook delectable meals while mainly following the adventurer route as it is in とんスキ, the MC of アラフォー follows more of the merchant path, selling goods unbeknownst to the fantasy world and racking up a sizeable profit. It's kind of similar to "Spice and Wolf" in a way, but if Lawrence had this ability to conjure anything, he would be an absolutely cracked businessman. But, if you're only looking for a comfy isekai that has a side emphasis on food, とんスキ is definitely a recommend to easily gobble up. read more

Same concept of having an online store in an isekai

Anime: Rougo ni Sonaete Isekai de 8-manmai no Kinka wo Tamemasu

Rougo ni Sonaete Isekai de 8-manmai no Kinka wo Tamemasu addpermalink

Similar concept, but the MC has the power to hop between worlds.

She buys things in the new era, and sells them in the other world, which is much older.

Has access to anything from the new world as well.

Isekai Nonbiri Nouka addpermalink

Isekai Nonbiri Nouka is similar to Around 40 Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan as both main characters have special abilities that enable them to live peaceful lives. The joy comes from watching their everyday achievements rather than epic battles. This anime focuses mainly on farming, meeting other beings, and forming alliances with them.

If you enjoy watching characters find fulfilment through peaceful, simple living, then this anime is for you.

both anime about 35+ immature guy (typical dull male harem protagonist), who 

- makes his own bussiness in isekai
- is surrounded by underage girls

Whilst doesn't have the same concept as being kicked out of a Adventuring Party, the MC is instead simply fired from being the "Manager" of the Demon Army, also believing he himself is a Demon, but found out he's an incredibly powerful Human.
