Anime/manga I'm watching/reading at the moment. This section of my lists changes really often and it's up-to-date for anime only (I still have to updated all my manga-related lists).

Currently Watching
7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life (TV)
Interesting premise, but it gets "normal" a bit too fast; still good.
Akatsuki no Yona (OAV)
(The) Ancient Magus' Bride (TV)
Fascinating characters and settings with beautiful backgrounds and animations.
(The) Ancient Magus' Bride (OAV 2)
(The) Ancient Magus' Bride (TV 2)
(The) Ancient Magus' Bride (TV 3)
(The) Ancient Magus' Bride: Those Awaiting a Star (OAV)
(The) Apothecary Diaries (TV)
Arifureta - From Commonplace to World's Strongest (TV)
This first season is quite rushed and some content was cut, but it was partially added back in S2. Still, a quite good isekai with the main character that is an anti-hero for once.
Arifureta - From Commonplace to World's Strongest (OAV)
Arifureta - From Commonplace to World's Strongest (TV 2)
Much better than the first season, especially around the ending when the main plot becomes more prominent.
Arifureta - From Commonplace to World's Strongest (OAV 2)
Arifureta - From Commonplace to World's Strongest (OAV 3)
Arifureta - From Commonplace to World's Strongest (TV 3)
As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill (TV)
Ascendance of a Bookworm (TV)
One of the best isekai out there, even if the main character got a bit on my nerves in the first few episodes.
Ascendance of a Bookworm (TV 2)
Continuing from the first season with good production values and engaging characters and story.
Ascendance of a Bookworm (TV 3)
The last couple of episodes are rushed/poor-directed, but this season is still quite enjoyable overall.
Assassination Classroom (TV)
Both a hilarious and thought-provoking anime.
Assassination Classroom (TV 2)
Assassination Classroom the Movie: 365 Days' Time
(The) Beast Player Erin (TV)
Better/faster directing without censoring crude scenes would have made this anime better.
Bibliophile Princess (TV)
Cute story with likeable characters.
Blade & Soul (TV)
After a somewhat interesting start, it gets boring pretty fast. At least, it has some beautiful backgrounds.
Bocchi the Rock! (TV)
Great main character and rhythm and a very good anime in any aspect overall.
BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense. (TV)
The first episode is a masterpiece. It becomes a more regular game-inspired isekai later, but still one of the funniest, cutest, and best well-thought among its sub-genre.
BOFURI: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense. Season 2 (TV)
Brave Bang Bravern! (TV)
Amazing and brave indeed.
Bucchigiri?! (TV)
Quite funny and with a great art style. You'll like it if you search for an over-the-top anime!
Bungo Stray Dogs (TV)
Quite a good anime with interesting characters, but the slow pace makes it a bit difficult to follow since not much happens in most episodes. Do not miss it if you like slow-burning series.
Bungo Stray Dogs (TV 3)
Bungo Stray Dogs (TV 4)
Bungo Stray Dogs 2 (TV)
*Before watching the second season ask or search around if we should watch the movies and/or OAVs first, and which ones are canon.*
Caligula (TV)
Interesting anime, somewhat similar to a Persona game.
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill (TV)
Relaxing, funny anime with charming characters.
Captain Tsubasa (TV 2018)
Good adaptation of a classic sports manga, but it could have been better if they dared more (especially the directing). Also, sometimes the characters are off-model, and the unique style of the manga was "normalized" too much.
Captain Tsubasa: Junior Youth Arc (TV)
Good adaptation of one of the best sports series ever!
Cells at Work! (TV)
Informative, funny anime to watch occasionally.
A Certain Magical Index (TV)
Really good first arc, followed by more or less good others with some unexpected twists overall.
A Certain Magical Index II (TV)
A Certain Magical Index III (TV)
*It may be a bad adaptation of the original material, at least according to some comments I read around; not sure if this applies to previous seasons too.*
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc
Chillin' in My 30s after Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army (TV)
Charming despite its simplicity.
Dark Gathering (TV)
Really good horror anime.
(The) Devil Is a Part-Timer! (TV)
It's funny sometimes, but still I can't understand the hype around this specific isekai among many others...
(The) Devil Is a Part-Timer!! (TV 2)
DEVILMAN crybaby (ONA)
Dorohedoro (TV)
One of the most original anime out there with a great art style and animation.
Dororo (TV 2019)
Osamu Tezuka's stories are simply great. One of the most moving stories out there.
Dr. Stone (TV)
Dr. Stone: New World (TV 3)
Dr. Stone: New World (TV 4)
Dr. Stone: Ryusui (special)
Dr. Stone: Stone Wars (TV)
Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai (TV 2020)
Decent adaptation, feels a bit too old-dated but it's watchable if you're a fan of classic fantasy shounen.
(The) Eminence in Shadow (TV)
One of the most original and well-written isekai of the parodic sub-genre.
(The) Eminence in Shadow 2nd Season (TV 2)
Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte (TV)
Interesting premise and quite original too!
(The) Familiar of Zero (TV)
Old but engaging isekai in its own way (mainly thanks to the chemistry between the main characters and the generally good writing--albeit some things feel outdated by modern standards).
(The) Faraway Paladin (TV)
Decent isekai with good--albeit not much original--writing. Too bad production values aren't exactly high here.
(The) Faraway Paladin: The Lord of Rust Mountain (TV 2)
It often gets boring but I can tell the writing is good, albeit derivative and generic.
Fate/stay night (TV)
Engaging characters and plot, with a proper bittersweet ending. Probably, one of the best adaptations of a game/visual novel.
Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (TV)
Exceptional backgrounds and animation for an interesting retelling of the old series.
Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (TV 2)
(The) Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil (TV)
Funny characters!
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (TV)
Simply outstanding. I already cared about the characters after like... 10 minutes in.
From the New World (TV)
Quite an interesting anime with great visuals.
Fruits Basket (TV 2/2019)
Really good adaptation of the manga, but not perfect just because the order of a few scenes was changed and the directing is nothing exceptional.
Fruits Basket -prelude- (movie)
Fruits Basket 2nd Season (TV)
Fruits Basket the Final (TV)
Gekijо̄ban Isekai Quartet ~Another World~ (movie)
Gintama (TV)
Goblin Slayer (TV)
Good dark fantasy anime.
Goblin Slayer II (TV 2)
Worse than S1 but still entertaining if you like the genre.
Goblin Slayer: Goblin's Crown (movie)
Good dark fantasy anime.
Golden Kamuy (TV)
One of the most original anime I ever saw, very good if not more.
Golden Kamuy (TV 2)
Golden Kamuy (TV 3)
Golden Kamuy (TV 4)
.hack//SIGN (TV)
This anime has a unique atmosphere thanks to its well-written dialogues and its peculiar use of its great soundtrack. The story, plot, and characters are all based on interesting concepts; videogame fans (J-MMORPG and J-RPG especially) will likely enjoy this series.
Handyman Saitō in Another World (TV)
Surprisingly good and *different* isekai series!
Heavenly Delusion (TV)
Great animation with an interesting plot and characters!
Helck (TV)
Quite a good fantasy anime with a classical feel; it varies from hilarious to brutal and dramatic and does everything pretty well.
Hell's Paradise (TV)
Great visuals but just a decent story and characters.
Hozuki's Coolheadedness (TV)
Amazing visuals and funny characters!
I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince (TV)
Hilarious and has really good visuals, albeit the shota undertones sometimes feel a bit cringe.
Interspecies Reviewers (TV)
Great art style.
(The) irregular at magic high school (TV 3)
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? (TV)
One of the best modern fantasy anime, not much original but with a great cast of characters and, at times, really good animation.
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? (TV 2)
One of the best modern fantasy anime, not much original but with a great cast of characters and, at times, really good animation.
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? III (TV)
One of the best modern fantasy anime, not much original but with a great cast of characters and, at times, really good animation.
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV (TV 4)
One of the best modern fantasy anime, not much original but with a great cast of characters and, at times, really good animation.
Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? IV (TV 5)
Worse than previous seasons, it feels random and even badly written at times.
Isekai Izakaya: Japanese Food From Another World (ONA)
I started watching it for the food and stayed for the characters.
Isekai Quartet (TV)
Funny isekai parody/crossover, a must-watch if you like the series included!
Isekai Quartet 2 (TV)
Ishura (TV)
Interesting world-building but can't really connect with any of the characters and outright dislike some. Sometimes, it seems to use violence and gore just for shock value.
Kaiju No. 8 (TV)
KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World (TV)
Weird isekai but watchable.
KONOSUBA - God's blessing on this wonderful world! 2 (TV)
KONOSUBA - God's Blessing on This Wonderful World– Legend of Crimson (movie)
KonoSuba – God’s blessing on this wonderful world! 3 (TV)
KonoSuba – God’s blessing on this wonderful world!! (TV)
One of the funniest isekai, with a relatable main character despite his faults.
Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World! (TV)
Koro Sensei Quest! (ONA)
Koro Teacher Quest! (movie)
Kyo kara Maoh! (TV)
One of the first isekai, usually funny but can get surprisingly serious/dramatic occasionally.
Kyo kara Maoh! 3rd Series (TV)
Kyo kara Maoh! R (OAV)
(The) Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess (TV)
Good plot with likeable characters.
Mahōtsukai no Yome: Gakuin-hen (ONA)
MAOYU (TV)
Somewhat interesting but quite slow.
Mashle: Magic and Muscles (TV)
Quite funny!
Mashle: Magic and Muscles (TV 2)
(The) Misfit of Demon King Academy (TV)
A solid anime with an overpowered main character who still feels good and likeable.
(The) Misfit of Demon King Academy II (TV)
Some negative comments around about this S2, may be better not to watch it?
(The) Misfit of Demon King Academy II (TV 2)
Mob Psycho 100 (TV)
One of the best characters in any anime, a must-watch.
Mob Psycho 100 II (TV)
Mob Psycho 100 III (TV)
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (TV 1)
One of the best isekai anime out there with an imperfect main character (his faults make him feel human despite his great powers), great production values, and good source material.
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (TV 2)
One of the best isekai anime out there with an imperfect main character (his faults make him feel human despite his great powers), great production values, and good source material.
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (OAV)
Quite a good extra story that tells a part of the plot not covered in the main anime.
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation II (TV 3)
Despite the rushed arc animated at the beginning of this season, it gets much better later and has a moving ending for the first cour. The "school romcom" arc, as some call it, may feel random but please remember that the protagonist likely never enjoyed his school life in his previous life, so he probably wishes to make up for it in his new one.
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation II (TV 4)
My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! (TV)
Good plot with likeable characters.
My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! (OAV)
My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! (movie)
My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! X (TV 2)
Mysteria Friends (TV)
Good anime for yuri fans with amazing visuals.
No Game, No Life (TV)
Didn't like it at first, but warmed up on it later into the series. There are a couple of central episodes that are amazing, so try to give it a chance even if, like me, didn't like its beginning.
No Game, No Life Zero (movie)
Oshi no Ko (TV)
The first episode was fantastic in every aspect: characters, animation, art direction, music, etc. I especially appreciate that the plot, while rooted in reality and showing interesting aspects of the show biz, also integrates supernatural and thriller elements perfectly. One of the best and most original modern anime.
Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom (movie)
Parallel World Pharmacy (TV)
Anime with a good plot and character but sometimes feels rushed; the main villain felt random and the final fight was underwhelming. Check the novels!
Princess Connect! Re:Dive (TV)
Princess Connect! Re:Dive (TV 2)
Psycho-Pass Providence (movie)
Ranking of Kings (movie)
Ranking of Kings: The Treasure Chest of Courage (TV)
Raven of the Inner Palace (TV)
Re:Monster (TV)
Interesting to see for isekai fans since it influenced some of the more prominent isekai that came later than it.
Re:ZERO - Starting Life in Another World - The Frozen Bond (OAV)
Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (TV)
*Also watch the director's cut of this first season, which has reworked footage of the original episodes, new footage, and adapted them into 1-hour-long episodes; the director's cut also includes the two specials/OAVs.* My favourite isekai, and definitely in the category of "get comfort food to watch it" since it HURTS. A potential overall masterpiece thanks to its original premise and screenplay, exceptional writing and direction, great music and top-notch voice acting.
Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (TV 2)
It keeps getting better and hurting more and MORE. We need a third season (this was just the second cour of S2) like... NOW. No, we need the whole novel series to get adapted.
Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (TV 3)
It keeps getting better and hurting more.
Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (TV 4)
Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Memory Snow (OAV)
Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon (TV)
Saga of Tanya the Evil (TV)
Its main character sets it apart from most isekai stories and makes it interesting and funny to watch.
Saga of Tanya the Evil (movie)
Saga of Tanya the Evil II (TV 2)
(The) Saga of Tanya the Evil: Operation Desert Pasta (special)
(The) Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent (TV)
Between cute and bland; try watching it if you're a shoujo and isekai fan.
(The) Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent (TV 2)
Sasaki and Peeps (TV)
Too bad for the cut parts and the rushed pace, it's still quit good and original in how it mixes different themes and genres.
Sengoku Youko (TV)
Sengoku Youko (TV 2)
Shangri-La Frontier (TV)
Good, light-hearted and funny lit-RPG king of story with isekai references.
Shangri-La Frontier (TV 2)
Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- (TV)
Somali and the Forest Spirit (TV)
Really good, let's hope the manga will get finished ad fully adapted into an anime!
Sonny Boy (TV)
One of the most original and thought-provoking anime out there, with a great art style and animation!
Spice & Wolf: merchant meets the wise wolf (TV)
Spy×Family (TV 2)
Spy×Family (TV 3)
SPY×FAMILY Code: White (movie)
Sugar Apple Fairy Tale (TV)
Really cute shoujo story with an interesting theme and a charming art style!
Suppose a Kid From the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town (TV)
Relaxing anime with cute, funny characters.
Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online (TV)
Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II (TV 2)
Sword Art Online Fatal Bullet -The Third Episode- (special)
Sword Art Online The Movie - Progressive: Scherzo of Deep Night
Sword Art Online the Movie -Progressive- Aria of a Starless Night
Taisho Otome Fairy Tale (TV)
Cute and interesting story with nice characters.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (TV)
The beginning is a masterpiece, and this first season is one of the best isekai anime hands-down.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (TV 2)
Another very good season.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (TV 3)
I didn't like some choices concerning the plot and the protagonist's characterization, but I'll hold my final judgment for now.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (TV 4)
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Scarlet Bond (movie)
Badly-written movie with themes and even one character recycled from the "Visions of Coleus" ONA. The double final res felt ridiculous. What a waste, considering the interesting new Oni character and the good visuals in general.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Visions of Coleus (ONA)
Good side story, worth watching!
Tokyo Ghoul (live-action movie)
Tokyo Ghoul S (live-action movie)
Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs (TV)
Surprisingly good isekai despite its poor production values. It deserved better!
Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs (TV 2)
Tsukimichi -Moonlit Fantasy- (TV)
Good isekai with a varied and funny cast of characters.
Tsukimichi -Moonlit Fantasy- (TV 2)
Worse than the first season and slow at times, but still watchable.
Uncle From Another World (TV)
Hilarious reverse isekai, a must-watch for SEGA fans!
(The) Unwanted Undead Adventurer (TV)
Decent fantasy with a likeable main character and supporting cast.
Utawarerumono (TV)
A really good classical fantasy/sci-fi anime, it's an adaptation of a famous Japanese game series you shouldn't miss!
Utawarerumono (OAV)
Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth (TV)
Slightly less good than the previous seasons but still a must-watch!
Utawarerumono: The False Faces (TV)
Really good continuation of the classical series that adapts the famous Japanese game series of the same name; the last episode feels like a stand-alone movie and is a masterpiece.
Vinland Saga (TV)
Fantastic historical anime with great characters!
Vinland Saga (TV 2)
(The) Vision of Escaflowne (TV)
Quite a good classical isekai that effectively mixes fantasy and sci-fi/mecha elements.
Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun (TV)
Great cast of characters for one of the most likeable, laid-back isekai out there (which also has its serious moments when needed).
Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun (TV 2)
Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun (TV 3)
Wind Breaker (TV)
(The) Witch and the Beast (TV)
Quite uninteresting overall, I didn't like either of the main characters (one feels too serious and boring, while the other is too hysterical and unhinged).
(The) World Is Still Beautiful (TV)
Good anime with a classical feeling and likeable characters (the shota bits feel a bit weird though).
(The) Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic (TV)
Good isekai with likeable characters, the best part is the relationship between the protagonist and his master but can get predictable and/or slow at times.
Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead (TV)
Gorgeous visuals and animation with quite an interesting premise and an original take on the zombie theme.
