Tensura(slime isekai) will definitely be a contender for one of the best isekais ever made if adapted correctly from reading the light novel it has a lot of potential and handles the darker subject well.

[EmirhanCetin]

I just came here to see if Re Zero is #1, wasn't dissappointed.

[Troublle_editz]

Personally, slime is one of the best and most unique isekai i ever watched. I have mad respect for the studio for making this masterpiece.

[thethundernado]

The best Isekai animes are the ones that are set themselves apart from others.
Konosuba, Reincarnated Slime, Overlord, Re:Zero, Shield Hero, and more.

[Treasuure]

Overlord is easily my favorite. It’s just so cool, and it’s fun to watch the MC be the villain of the story. Mushoku and ReZero are pretty damn good too

[sweetandsourdish]

I always liked the isekai genre because it makes me feel adventurous. ❤️💛💙

[TheAliAzhar]

Rezero no doubt is my no.1 anime and other favourite are Shield Hero, Slime, Konosuba, Jobless Reincarnation and not to forget How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom.

[Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Not since Who Framed Roger Rabbit have I felt as much joy seeing all the stuff I know in one place that I felt when Isekai Quartet was created. It’s like when you would smash all your action figures together in the toy room, but it’s actually well written.

[loganh]

This list makes me very happy. ReZero deserves #1 and jobless has been incredible up to this point

[mr.horseshoe]

Props for recognizing Escaflowne. A classic forgotten by most. EDIT: Props rescinded. Not even an honorable mention.

[THEDADLY]

That time I got reincarnated as a slime is amazing.

[MisterFister]

Rezero helped me improve as a person. I related to his character and his later progression helped me see th mirror I refused to look at. I respect rezero to death for its top tier character development

[ZeWaifuist]

Re:Zero is Brutal, Especialy the first season annd the first half of the second season. You need a lot of mental strenght to watch some parts cause it takes guts to watch it.

[bulbasaurpoke]

re zero no.1 faith in humanity restored finally

[arandomcowjustchilling]

I highly recommend the anime “the worlds finest assassin gets reincarnated in another world as an aristocrat”. It in my opinion is a incredibly good isekai anime

[Glitch]

Rezero, Ascendance of a Bookworm, and So I'm a spider, so what? are easily my favorites. I can't help it. I'm a sucker for protagonists who can't just punch all their problems away. (yes. I know how strong Kumoko gets.) It makes it more exciting when they finally find a way forward. Rezero in particular is fantastic at it. The bad ends dip straight into psychological horror and stay there. And I love every second of it.

[Wingedlight-nnhl]

Yes, finally Ascendance of a Bookworm is getting the much needed recognition it deserves and I can’t wait for Season 3 which is coming in Spring of 2022 😊
