Top 10 Isekai animes no one regretted Watching in 2024!

When it comes to animes and mangas, Isekai is a genre that has the easiest concept to understand. Isekai, which translates to “different world” or “otherworld” in Japanese, is a popular subgenre of fantasy anime, manga, and light novels. In these types of stories, a protagonist is sent, reincarnated, or trapped in a parallel universe or fantasy world.

And their new world is, in most of the cases very different from the place they lived. There could be a new set of rules to abide by, a magic system, the need for adventures, etc. Providing a stark contrast to the protagonist’s original reality.

Here in this article, I have mentioned some of the most popular Isekai animes that fans never regretted watching.

Key takeaways:

• In today’s era, Isekai animes have flooded the industry, rendering viewers confused about how to make a selection.
• Isekai animes no longer pique the curiosity of fans upon realising, compared to a few years back.
• This list contains highly popular isekai animes that fans don’t regret watching.

Below are the 10 Isekai animes:

10. The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic:

The unexpected journey of Usato, an ordinary high school student who is accidentally summoned to another world. At the surface level, things don’t intrigue the audience as it follows a similar premise as most of the other Isekai, where the protagonist has to take the role of the hero who protects the citizens of their new world.

As it stands, the series features a blend of multiple elements which makes it fun to watch and worth the investment.

Usato is teleported along with friends and gains the healing ability which is rare and highly important in their new world. As a result, the protagonist is given special treatment by the Kingdom’s Rescue Team’s Captain Rose, who decides to take him in as her student.

It’s a show that won’t upset the Isekai fans who are amazed by the overwhelming transformation that the protagonists go through. Healing magic is an underrated term that doesn’t pique the curiosity of the people; however, in shows like this, it’s presented in a way that justifies the genre.

9. No longer allowed in another world:

Our protagonist is a depressed author, known only as Sensei, who is transported to another world after a failed double su#c!d€ attempt with his girlfriend, Sacchan.

Just like most of the other animes in this list, the protagonist comes across a goddess Annette who more or less, has concerns related to summoning heroes from other worlds.

Instead of accepting his new role as a hero, Sensei is more interested in finding Sacchan to complete their s*ic!de pact. It turns out to be his one and only goal. However, throughout the series, we get to encounter various characters and places that Sensei comes across, along with his two other companions.

His journey is marked by a series of darkly comedic events, as he inadvertently saves others while trying to end his own life.

It has been a while since this anime was released, and most fans have found it interesting and worth a watch.

8. Black Summoner:

The protagonist Kelvin a young man who reincarnates into a new world after trading his memories for powerful abilities.

As an S-class summoner, Kelvin embarks on an adventurous journey, guided by the goddess Melfina, who orchestrated his reincarnation. Kelvin’s quest involves battling formidable foes and forming contracts with powerful companions to gather the mana needed to summon Melfina’s physical form.

Whether you’re a fan of fantasy, action, or character-driven stories, “Black Summoner” has something for everyone. It’s a must-watch for anime enthusiasts looking for a new and engaging series.

7. Tsukimichi; moonlit fantasy:

Our protagonist, Makoto Misumi, is your average high schooler until he gets darted away to a magical realm by the goddess Tsukuyomi.

However, Makoto’s isekai adventure takes an unexpected turn when the goddess deems him “ugly” and strips him of his hero title. Instead of being hailed as a saviour, Makoto ends up all alone in a world filled with nothing but loneliness.

Despite his initial setbacks, he discovers that he possesses incredible physical and magical abilities. As he navigates this strange new world, Makoto must overcome the goddess’s curse and prove that he is worthy of the hero title he once held.

With its captivating storyline, engaging characters, and stunning visuals, Tsukimichi Moonlight Fantasy stands out from the saturated list of Isekai content. So, if you’re ready for a thrilling adventure filled with magic, monsters, and a whole lot of unexpected twists, be sure to check out this hidden gem which is admired by tons of anime fans.

6. The Rising Of The Shield Hero:

An ordinary otaku is suddenly transported to a parallel world along with three other strangers to form a renowned team that was supposed to fight the waves of catastrophe that occurred in that new world occasionally.

The world in which they were teleported has a history of summoning four random heroes from other worlds to help them fight the waves. However, the weakest among the four roles is known to be that of a shield hero, and our protagonist is given the same.

However, his journey takes a dark turn when he is falsely accused of a heinous crime and shunned by society. No one even intended to have a conversation with Naofumi and hated him.

Naofumi Iwatani continued on his own without expecting any help, determined to clear his name and protect the world, he undertakes several challenges and levels up his powers.

It might seem like a typical setup for an Isekai anime, but the story is filled with intensity. The protagonist later gains two allies: Raphtalia, a demi-human slave, and Filo, a bird-like creature who would continue to serve him and get stronger together.

Some might call this art overrated, but the story appealed to the vast majority of the audience and gained a place among the most admired Isekai animes.

5. KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!

An anime where the protagonist dies while assuming that he was saving a girl from getting run over by a truck, only to learn in the afterworld that it wasn’t a truck but a tractor and the girl wouldn’t have had any accident. He died of shock while pushing the girl away to protect her by sacrificing himself.

He was so shocked that he wet his pants before dying, and the Goddess in the afterlife explained the story, her laughter bubbling up naturally as she recounted the way he died and people’s reactions over it, for example, even her parents were laughing in the hospital.

An Isekai anime that is admired for its soothing setting where the protagonist dies and gets reincarnated in another world just like any other Isekai, but when he was given the option to choose from the most important/popular weapons/powers to inherit in the new world by the goddess, Kazuma Satou foolishly ignores all those fleshy powers/weapons and makes a very bold decision to bring the goddess herself along.

However, neither Kazuma nor the goddess possesses any special powers. They’re just like the commoners in a world that is filled with dangers. Witness them explore this challenging world, and overcome several hindrances involved in the process of advancing and eventually eliminating the demon lord.

4. Eminence in Shadows:

Among this entire list, this anime is an exception when it comes to hunger for power and strength. The story follows Cid Kagenou, a boy who dreams of becoming a mastermind controlling events from the shadows. It’s astonishing seeing him try to become the strongest man in the world physically.

However, there are several limitations to physical strength, and Cid can’t stand bending or bowing to those limitations and is unsatisfied until one day, he dies in an accident while training. He is reincarnated into a fantasy world where he decides to live out his dream because magic exists in this new world and Cid now has the opportunity he was willing to die for.

He goes on to become the strongest creature while facing several enemies along the way. As the name of the anime suggests, Cid Kagenou loves to work from the shadows and hunt the shadows. He gathers reliable and loyal allies and continues to move ahead.

Although Cid possesses great powers, he has to portray himself as a weak and struggling commoner.

Eminence in Shadows stands as a backbone for the entire Isekai genre. It is action-packed and thrilling to watch.

3. Mushoku Tensei; Jobless Reincarnation:

The story of a 34-year-old shut-in who, after a tragic accident, is reincarnated in a fantasy world as Rudeus Greyrat. The boy retains all the memories of his previous life and uses the life lessons from his experiences to start a new beginning where he can achieve what he couldn’t in his previous life.

Rudeus embarks on a journey of self-discovery, learning magic and swordplay while overcoming his past traumas and seeking a better future. The story appears to a large amount of audience and continues to become more intense and interesting with time, especially the events that take place in the second season.

There are countless reasons behind the success of this anime in the Isekai genre. Starting from the animation to the way character development has been emphasized. However, there have been different opinions when it comes to the personality of Rudeus in the first season. As not everyone.

2. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime:

A series which is well known in the community when it comes it Isekai genre. Countless anime fans have ignored to give it a try, because of the world “slime”. The first thing to strike the mind is the notion that slimes are boring creature and people assume this masterpiece to be a story revolving around slimes.

1. Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World:

The only Isekai anime character with whom people sympathize and feel sorry is Subaru Natsuki, an ordinary high school student who is suddenly transported to a fantasy world. His initial reaction is quite amusing until he goes on to discover the environment around him and ends up dying while helping a silvered-hair girl named Emilia.

Subaru is taken by surprise upon learning the truth about him being reborn again and again after being killed or dying for any cause. Unlike other Isekai anime characters in this list, Subaru Natsuki doesn’t gain any powers or abilities and remains in the same physical condition as he was in his previous world.

As it stands, Subaru falls in love with Emilia and sticks around her for her protection, even though he lacks the powers to do so.

The series is filled with suspense and every decision and action taken by Subaru is of greater significance. A story about a powerless boy who challenges fate and never gives up despite being unmatched by any other magical beings.

Conclusion:

This list contains 10 Isekai animes that were popular and loved by fans in 2024. However, there might be many other series that remained underrated and couldn’t gain the attention they deserved.
