Definitely one of the very best. When a studio is created just to make one specific anime, you know they're not fucking around. It's got it all: great world-building, an engaging story, amazing characters that you really get attached to and some gorgeous animation.

I love this show. It can be wholesome fun one moment and serious action hype the next. Rimuru is a lovable main character and a great leader to his people.

Full of despair and struggles. It's insane to see what the main character has to go through. Definitely an easy binge, if you're up for it.

The OP main character, Ainz Ooal Gown, really carries this show for me, but it definitely wouldn't be the same without the great supporting cast though.

MAPPA is taking over. Really fun take on the genre with plenty of hilarious moments and lovable characters. The animation is gorgeous.

The thing I ended up liking the most about this show was the calming atmosphere, surprisingly. A really interesting, different take on the Isekai genre.

Another God-like powerful main character. Didn't think I'd end up loving it as much as I did. Can't wait for the upcoming sequel!

Now this is a show that's really underrated, it definitely didn't get the recognition it deserves.
When the world's best assassin gets reincarnated into a magical world, what's there not to love?

Technically it's not an Isekai, but I'll allow it anyway - it's my list after all. Just gotta love Shield Girl!

Tragic and sad, yet very captivating. A show that seems to be very overlooked.

The most realistic Isekai there is. It's been a while since I watched it, but it's a banger for sure.

Extremely original and beautiful. I think this show put Madhouse back on the map.

Amazing story with a great main character, my only gripe is the heavy use of CGI, but if you can get past that, it's a worthy show to give a try.

You just can't help but root for the crazy main character, Tanya the Evil!

Isekai + slapstick comedy = what more can you ask for? Also: EXPLOSIONS!

Also a bit questionable if it's an Isekai, but I've always viewed it as such, so here it is.

A pleasant surprise. The show can seem a bit cartoony at times, but it is all the trials and tribulations that the leads have to go through, that makes this series so entertaining. There's also some cute romance here, which is always a plus.

A parody show full of gags and an edgelord OP MC. I just wish he didn't hide his abilities, but oh well - there's always a catch I guess. Second season is even better.

Cute and wholesome at times, and at others, an action-packed slaughterfest. Just what I like!

Seems a bit generic at first, but don't be fooled. This show takes a drastic turn towards the end. A hidden gem.

The main characters are the best part of the show. I really liked their back and forth banter. Also, if you liked the animation on Hellsing Ultimate, this one is pretty identical.

I really liked this show at first, when the main character was full of hate and revenge filled thoughts. Now as the second season is nearing its end, the show seems to only be a pale shadow of its former self. Raphtalia is still adorable though.

A refreshing take on the genre. The main character doesn't take shit from no one.
