There are way too many good isekai for me to say its my #1
I would say its definitely a contender and it makes my top 5.
Re zero, overlord, shield hero, log horizon, gate, how not to summon a demon lord, familiar of zero etc.
Its one of, if not my favorite, genre of anime. I've even seen the "bad ones" and even those I was able to enjoy in some way.

If I had to place it(and now I'm really thinking hard about it),I'd say its in top 3. And if you pressed me, I'd say its #2 but that probably changes based on the day.

Yeah when it comes to story thats actually better i know that much but for me the slime i got reincarnated as a slime was the only isekai that im really looking forward whats gonna happen next yeah re zero for i watched s1 of re zero and i gave it 9 out of 10 because its so amazing but whe s2 came out i was like how many times does subaru dies and he just keep dying and to the point that i getting used to hes dying and didn't hit me hard as much as the s1 but im not saying its bod in fact i thought the story was still amazing but i didn't enjoy it in the s2 as much as the slime i got reincarnated as a slime... and yeah konosuba and re zero is better but overlord???? The season 2 didn't really get me that much but s1 s3 i enjoyed it

I haven't watched too many isekai, but it's somewhere at the middle... Maybe reading the LN would improve my impression of it, but so far I have only liked the first 14 or so episodes of S1. Pacing problems are laid bare, secondary characters feel lacklustre; and I hope they improve in the upcoming installments, at least for the fans.

Re: Zero would remain for a while as my favorite isekai for combining dark fantasy, psychological aspects and multi-character development while engaging with mystery elements, maze-like plot and an intriguing lore.

I have read the Konosuba novels, and they are really good entertainment all around. So it takes 2nd place.

Shield Hero doesn't feel as rich and fresh as Slime, but it has characters I care for more. Youjo Senki is a character study, so I like it too. I would clump Slime, Shield and Senki (SSS) together in the same ranking of liking.

However this season itself is airing Mushoku Tensei amd Kumo. The former already impresses me with its adaptational superiority, while the latter charms me with it's light novel.

So yeah, I believe Slime could be among my top 3 fav isekai, if I read the LN. Cause the anime hints at some good writing... Too bad getting into new LNs require time XD

No, My number 1 isekai is Hai to Gensou no Grimgar, only that isekai makes me cry tbh, also Konosuba was really great, Konosuba makes me laugh every episode XD


An anime without fear of killing a important character gets his intensity multiplied for me that is the mistake of slime for example even though the last episode almost made me expect somcing from it

The season 2 didn't really get me that much but s1 s3 i enjoyed it

Agree in a lot, but let me tell ya that overlord is pretty amathing in the world construction and the character making its definitely in top 5 isekais but is true that the overpowered mc is a bit boring.
Btw dont u think that it would be great that at least one important character fied is not that I enjoy it but its for sure that it gives the anime a lot of intensity and you stop gessing that everything will be fine at the end.

Tensura is the best . It's not op action or rommance or comedy which makes a anime(isekai) good . It is the story . In case of Slime , it has everything in it. Tensura / Slime has op fight , Incredible story , comedy ........

Specially the story telling and the plot of Tensura is beyond imagination . Obviously it's better than any other Isekai.

For me yeah,in terms of my enjoyment.i'd read the ln,and it's really suites my taste. Good plot,world-building,slice-of-life moments with some actions and comedy plus really enjoyable and likeable characters (this is the most important part for me if the characters are not likeable/enjoyable I'll never invest to the story as well)

But I know very well that in terms of plot,rezero better. world building,overlord. Comedy,konosuba. But tensura's a mix of these things,with a really cool power system,heartwarming slice of life moments and more enjoyable characters(my opinion). And the theme is not too light and not too dark as well..That's why at the end I choose tensura

I don't understand how this can be anyone's number 1 isekai anime. It is plain and boring as it can be. There is never any "real" danger. The whole concept of him being a slime is thrown over board as soon as he obtains his human form. His predator skill? Only used to one hit KO any strong enemy. His followers also have no purpose.
most of the early LN is tend to be dull at first but the real deal will come next. Idk what the editor doin.

I can somehow say the same about re zero we know that there is no danger for the mc because of his ability.
not all the animes should be the same thus I can not really understand your logic.
better not to know their purposes since the moment i read it... it gives me insomia especially Benimaru.

I wouldn't rank it 1 if not because of the LN and the manga but the manga is kinda off too so i ended up reading LN.
read the LN of Tensura if you want to get into it.
The anime is a bit off and gives different vibes except for the early episodes of Season 1.
The LN is a bit lengthy, 200+ or 300 Chapters. But it gives us deep understanding of it.
And there's Im a spider so what. The anime and LN both have 2 Timeline existed so naturally i got bombarded by the heavy spoilers from the series its self. Read the manga if you want 1 timeline but the chapters updates monthly i think. Im getting a hard time getting into the LN.

Nah, but it's super interesting, really rare for an anime currently to keep me curious.


In most cases, the MAL Average Scores don't mean anything, here is a question: were the works made before 2000 all shit?
Why are they so damn scarce in the Top 50? Think about how MAL is quite literally a filtered amount of the Anime fanbase.

Here's a timeline of the Top 15 in which you can check that, almost always, the scores are affected by the freshness, popularity and other factors that have nothing to do with quality.

You call slime the most memorable? Are you crazy. It is literally the embodiement of "isekai trash" but done reasonably well. Yet it is nothing more than a power fantasy. It has literally no really memorable moments that even not casual fans would remember.

If we talk memorable; you should say Re:zero, Saga of tanya the evil, to a lesser degree Mushoku tensei, definitelly Konosuba.

You have probably picked the thing where Slime is worst at. Story? Really? And better than any other isekai? Bold statement to say the least.

Just his opinion, he might never even read the ones you mentioned, though i agree with you, it's actually even worse than the latest "isekai trash" since it has basically zero stakes, while the last non-mainstream isekais (Tsukimichi and Seirei Gensouki) both had atleast some tension

Well, he called it memorable, which it is not. If he meant memorable "to me", ok, but it seemed like he was talking about the anime itself.
.
I am glad the score is going down, this part in particular does not deserve to be above 8.00.

subaru is one of the most unreasonable isekai MC Ive ever seen,
he's also quite memorable to me lol

my DP on MAL account is tanya, so?

I havent watched mushoku tensei yet

kono suba S1 was good but I dont really like S2 cuz I think its only the repetition of S1

@Mitaru

frankly. I don't understand how Re:zero can be anyone's number #1 isekai anime

the MC subaru has no common sense at all, he doesnt feel like a legit person, he feels so fake to me...he seemingly only exists just to act for the sake of the plot

why? for instances:

- not long after subaru got transported to another world, he met a random elf girl on the street and he's instantly soo obsessed with her...lol why? just why? it makes no sense

- even after subaru experienced the most excruciating deaths, quite literally...he still didnt give a shit about anything but dat random elf girl, he still tried his very hard to "save" dat random elf girl. what makes it even worse, at that time he didnt even know her name yet. it makes no sense

- in S2, its revealed the moment subaru regretted the most in his life is when he's acting cold towards his mom, ignoring her well being just before he got transported to another world. its "cool" and all, it gave more insights about him as a character but...
I'm fairly certain, back in S1, โ€‹when he's about to experience his first death...he could only think about none other than dat random elf girl that he didnt even know her name yet. it makes no sense

if that was me, I would instantly think about my mom...why would I care about a random elf girl I barely knew? I would also gtfo after my first death in dat wretched world, why should I care? staying out of trouble is what anyone with common sense would do

another thing about Re:zero is, not only the MC subaru likes looking for trouble 24/7, other characters always mess with him for the sake of messing with him as well

you cant find these problems in slime, and rimuru. the MC rimuru is one of the most reasonable and realistic isekai MC Ive ever seen, everything he does makes sense

You really have a big problem staying on topic and address what what the other person tells you. I was talking nor about chacters, writting quality or anything like that. We talked "memorable" because you called slime the most memorable isekai, which is ridiculous and I gave some contenders for that title that are way better suited for the title.

Well did not look at your profile, because when I discuss, I discuss the subject at hand and not the person with whom I am in a discussion at the time. But then you should agree when you saw it.

LONG STORY SHORT: STAY ON TOPIC WHEN YOU TALK TO SOMEBODY.

the part below was not addressed to me I guess, so I will not address it fully - also due to how ridiculously bad take that is. Just few general points:
1) Characters are not realistic because they do what you think, as a singular viewer, you would do. They are realistic because they do what a realistically written person would do given his/her particular temperament, upbringing, current state of mind and a general life history in a specific situation they are experiencing in the show (taking into account their experiences in the new world here in the isekai genre)
2) Rimuru is only realistic when your definition of the term is being "perfect and liked by every good character in the show". I am not surprised you then think that Subaru is bad character. You called him unreasonable, and I agree... but the exact fact that he is such a piece shit and wreck of a person and his later growth is what makes him one of the best written protagonists even outside of isekai genre.

The guy literally has no friends, no love interests, nothing, he comes to a new world and is treated like absolute garbage by everyone, then a beautiful girl not only saves him but also gives up on doing what was important to her(following the thief) just to heal him and take care of him for what could've been hours, you really think that's not a good reason for a reclude like him to fall in love with her?


- even after subaru experienced the most excruciating deaths, quite literally...he still didnt give a shit about anything but dat random elf girl, he still tried his very hard to "save" dat random elf girl. what makes it even worse, at that time he didnt even know her name yet. it makes no sense

yeah, cause he's not a moral piece of shit, she saved him and he has the power to save her, just stepping away might be something he could do, but he would always regret it knowing that she's dead and he could've done something, not only that but he has immense self-hate, he thinks everyone's life is worth more than his, that's made very clear in Season 2 where even Satella herself says she puts himself below everyone else


- in S2, its revealed the moment subaru regretted the most in his life is when he's acting cold towards his mom, ignoring her well being just before he got transported to another world. its "cool" and all, it gave more insights about him as a character but...
I'm fairly certain, back in S1, โ€‹when he's about to experience his first death...he could only think about none other than dat random elf girl that he didnt even know her name yet. it makes no sense

Yeah, that's called "coping", his considered his previous life to be trash and knew that thinking about his parents would only spiral him into severe depression, he tried to just completely ignore it for as long as he could, and just to remind you, he only really had a few days of not constantly dying, he didn't even had time to think about that in peace before the trials


if that was me, I would instantly think about my mom...why would I care about a random elf girl I barely knew? I would also gtfo after my first death in dat wretched world, why should I care? staying out of trouble is what anyone with common sense would do

again, cause that's you, not everyone is the same person, i myself would definitely prefer saving everyone knowing i'm completely immortal than life my entire life knowing dozens of good people died and i didn't do anything


another thing about Re:zero is, not only the MC subaru likes looking for trouble 24/7, other characters always mess with him for the sake of messing with him as well
Yeah, that's called the "Witch's Scent", you're not even paying attention to the story, the characters said dozens of times that he smells like a Witch Cultist, it's like saying it would be weird if people mistreated someone with a Swaztika tatooed onto their head


you cant find these problems in slime, and rimuru. the MC rimuru is one of the most reasonable and realistic isekai MC Ive ever seen, everything he does makes sense
Cause he's a power fantasy protagonist, he can do literally anything he wants with no consequences, even if a friend of his die he can just ressurect them, much easier to make a reasonable character that way

its interesting how you wrote a lot and still failed to refute the obvious facts about how unrealistic everything subaru does in the story

like I said,
why he's quite intoxicated with a random elf girl he didnt even know her name yet...to point of literally overlooking his freshly excruciating death like 5 seconds ago...it makes zero sense

wait, myb thats why the series is called re:zero lol

pre and post his first death,
he couldnt think about no one except a random elf girl he didnt even know her name yet

mom & dad 404 not found

it happened again in rem's situation,
the brain still failed to showcase the importance of subaru's mom and dad... nothing, even death looks nothing compared to emilia

mom & dad 404 still not found

things got worse as the story progresses...he literally committed multiple suicides for the sake of...once again emilia

mom & dad 404 still not found

he must have forgotten he's still alive before he got transported into another world, what if he's dead permanently? how could he ask forgiveness to his mom & dad? if they were so "precious" to him (as its revealed in season 2) he shouldnt have been able to kill himself and ask others to kill himself that easily... he hesitated to commit his first suicide was only cuz he's scared of pain (really?) and dying. plain and simple

mom & dad 404 still not found

finally, out of nowhere in season 2,
the author shoved a flashback about his true feeling towards his dad and especially mom...about how "precious" they were to him

wait what¿
if they were truly so "precious" to subaru,
then why did his brain fail to showcase his dad & mom face back in season 1? zero, everything makes zero sense

2) Rimuru is only realistic when your definition of the term is being "perfect and liked by every good character in the show". I am not surprised you then think that Subaru is bad character. You called him unreasonable, and I agree... but the exact fact that he is such a piece shit and wreck of a person and his later growth is what makes him one of the best written protagonists even outside of isekai genre.


you shoudve paid a lil more attention to the story

did you forget that rimuru was born blind and deaf? he's trapped all alone in nothing but darkness for months,
it took 90 days for great sage to activate and talk with him... it obviously took longer than 90 days until he met veldora and finally regained his abilities to see and hear things around him

when the first time rimuru saw humans (the trio, ellen cabal and gido) he said that he wanted to talk with em but, he's now a blob of slime, a monster... ppl most likely would attack him on the spot

he then met a bunch of goblins,
and used em as replacements for humans

once again,
iF you paid a lil more attention to the story
rimuru confessed that the reason the monsters under him always get evolved into more human-ish... myb cuz he subconsciously wants humans as his companions

you can also see where rimuru was coming from when he made 3 rules in tempest, 1) dont attack human 2) dont fight among yourself 3) dont look down on others. he's undoubtedly a person that came from society ruled by the laws, there is no inconsistency

perfect huh? he's originally a selfish person that used others as replacements, just to satisfy his psychological needs. but it makes sense, at that time he had no other choice due to many reasons Ive explained above

@LightVelox

Seems like you simply doesn't understand people just aren't like you


nah, subaru simply has zero common sense thats all

The guy literally has no friends, no love interests, nothing, he comes to a new world and is treated like absolute garbage by everyone, then a beautiful girl not only saves him but also gives up on doing what was important to her(following the thief) just to heal him and take care of him for what could've been hours, you really think that's not a good reason for a reclude like him to fall in love with her?


what a shallow reasoning

subaru wasnt an ex soldier that had spent years in vietnam dude

how and when did he develop the mental capacity that allows him to overlook the excruciating pain caused by the death itself?
did you forget his first, second reactions to his first, second deaths?
he somehow didnt care about anything except a random elf girl he knew nothing about

yeah, cause he's not a moral piece of shit, she saved him and he has the power to save her, just stepping away might be something he could do, but he would always regret it knowing that she's dead and he could've done something, not only that but he has immense self-hate, he thinks everyone's life is worth more than his, that's made very clear in Season 2 where even Satella herself says she puts himself below everyone else


at that time subaru had no idea emilia was putting herself down by calling herself satella, what are you trying to say here?
it doesnt answer the reason why he's soo obsessed with her at first sight to the point of overlooking even his excruciating pain caused by the the death itself

I implore you to rewatch re:zero EP 1 and 2

he didnt even care whether he had limited respawn or not either

Yeah, that's called "coping", his considered his previous life to be trash and knew that thinking about his parents would only spiral him into severe depression, he tried to just completely ignore it for as long as he could, and just to remind you, he only really had a few days of not constantly dying, he didn't even had time to think about that in peace before the trials


nah, thats called "it makes zero sense"

did you forget that subaru was still alive before he got transported into another world? he didnt get hit by truck-kun, killed and then got transported you know?

so why did keep getting himself killed just for the sake of a random elf girl he didnt even know her name yet?

what iF he's dead permanently?

how could he ask forgiveness to his mom & dad? iF they were truly "precious" to him (as its revealed in season 2) he shouldnt have been able to kill himself and ask others to kill himself over and over again and again and again...
he once hesitated to commit his first suicide but its only cuz he's scared of pain (really?) and dying. plain and simple

he still didnt seem to care about his mom & dad, at all...even tho its supposed to be his main reason behind his obsession with emilia. inconsistency at its finest

again, cause that's you, not everyone is the same person, i myself would definitely prefer saving everyone knowing i'm completely immortal than life my entire life knowing dozens of good people died and i didn't do anything


where's the logic in that?

subaru had no idea he could return by death indefinitely when he decided to keep himself getting killed for the sake of a random elf girl he just met

Yeah, that's called the "Witch's Scent", you're not even paying attention to the story, the characters said dozens of times that he smells like a Witch Cultist, it's like saying it would be weird if people mistreated someone with a Swaztika tatooed onto their head


thats called, "a plot device" that makes everyone angry at the MC for the sake of the plot, or else the plot wont progress smoothly. and the author literally shoved it up the MC butt since EP 1 lol

he can do literally anything he wants with no consequences, even if a friend of his die he can just ressurect them, much easier to make a reasonable character that way


who said "no consequences"?
the falmuth nation just made a new demon lord, and "dont attack" humans policy is no longer exist

ever heard of, "we make our own monsters, then fear them for what they show us about ourselves"

also,
did you forget who's the first character that got killed in the story? she's dead permanently btw lol how about you ask rimuru to revive her? her death was almost as shocking as mami's death from magical girl madoka to me

1) Characters are not realistic because they do what you think, as a singular viewer, you would do. They are realistic because they do what a realistically written person would do given his/her particular temperament, upbringing, current state of mind and a general life history in a specific situation they are experiencing in the show (taking into account their experiences in the new world here in the isekai genre)


its interesting how you wrote a lot and still failed to refute the obvious facts about how unrealistic everything subaru does in the story

like I said,
why he's quite intoxicated with a random elf girl he didnt even know her name yet...to point of literally overlooking his freshly excruciating death like 5 seconds ago...it makes zero sense

wait, myb thats why the series is called re:zero lol

So what do you do when I ask you to stay on topic? ADRESS THE ONLY PART OF MY ANSWER THAT WAS NOT ON THE TOPIC!!!! We talked about "MEMORABLE"

Moreso when you say this:

"its interesting how you wrote a lot and still failed to refute the obvious facts about how unrealistic everything subaru does in the story"

When I said this:

"the part below was not addressed to me I guess, so I will not address it fully - also due to how ridiculously bad take that is. Just few general points"

I REALLY HATE PEOPLE LIKE YOU, CONSTANTLY LOSING ARGUMENT AFTER ARGUMENT TO JUST GRASP FOR A STRAW WHEN IT SEEMS THEY STILL CAN PRODUCE SOME MORE AND DISREGARD ALL THE PREVIOUS THEY LOST.

One guy above addressed the points reasonably well, so I am not gonna bother and waste my time any longer than is writing this answer. That is all from me.

lmao youve gotta be joking me

Ive already adressed that shit even before Ive begun to criticize subaru being an unreasonable character

I already said, "subaru iS pretty Memorable too" But in a bad why

then I proceeded questioning his ass from the moment he decided to casually overlook his first, second and third excruciating deaths just for the sake of a random nameless elf girl he just met on the street

so?

Moreso when you say this:

"its interesting how you wrote a lot and still failed to refute the obvious facts about how unrealistic everything subaru does in the story"


thats the whole point of my argument lol subaru iS pretty Memorable, but in a bad way because xyz

I had to explain myself why I came into that conclusion, you know?

I REALLY HATE PEOPLE LIKE YOU, CONSTANTLY LOSING ARGUMENT AFTER ARGUMENT TO JUST GRASP FOR A STRAW WHEN IT SEEMS THEY STILL CAN PRODUCE SOME MORE AND DISREGARD ALL THE PREVIOUS THEY LOST.


says the person that keeps on telling other ppl to adress his shit without em even realizing themselves that it had already been adressed a long ago?
comedy at its finest

youre talking as if youre a cave man thats keep on insisting on living under a rock whilst elon musk is about to terraform mars and live there. how could you have been so blind dude?

[quote=Angel_crush1 message=62073799]Im actually just curious if there are many people think that this show is better than other isekai but maybe im just hoping too much this is actually my no. 1 favorite isekai of all time maybe because im just really excited what is gonna happen to the tempest nation how are they gonna react to other nation and the collision between the demon lords so what do you think is your isekai but maybe you're just gonna pick konosuba yeah konosuba is really great show its just my no. 2 though....

Just my opinion ๐Ÿคท ๐Ÿ˜Œ its definately

No, probably 10th+ or 20th+ on my list. If you think this is the best, probably you need to read or watch more Isekai.

Yes. Nation building and protection by a MC who is a pacifist but also can play ball if the situation calls for it. I haven't seen a better Isekai anime than this sabry got Overlord but i hate Ainz Owl Gown so this is my favourite isekai series by a long shot.

Just Read The Tensura Light Novel. Tensura's world building is at 2nd in my choice . 1st is Onepiece. Tensura Light Novel has a op story . Character development is also op. Don't forget Tensura is the highest rated isekai manga .
