KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! is the funniest isekai series of all time. It features one of the most frustratingly lovable cast of characters, a world filled with mystery, and some of the best writing in anime, all genres included. When Satou Kazuma is transported to his new world, he's allowed to bring any one thing with him. When the Goddess Aqua laughs at him during this process, he decides to take her instead, creating a hilarious dynamic within the first episode.

To be a great show like KonoSuba, an isekai series needs to have some element of humor. It also needs to have good animation, and at least decent writing. While no show can truly compare with KonoSuba's outrageous humor, some can get close. Still, there are plenty of isekai series out there that are great for anyone who loves watching Kazuma, Darkness, Aqua, and Megumin bumble their way to success.

We’re close to midway through this anime season, and the currently airing second season of As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World , based on the light novel series written by Miraijin A, released a brand new trailer, which announced six new cast members as well as a brand new key visual. As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I’ll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World Season 2 - Mid-Season Trailer Joining the cast of As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I’ll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World are: Ruper Roozton voiced by Tomoaki Maeno (Veldora Tempest in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ) Clamant Maitraw III voiced by Yuichi Nakamura (Reinhard Van Astrea in Re:zero -Starting Life in Another World- ) Shin Seimallo voiced by Wataru Katoh (Kabru in Delicious in Dungeon ) Braham Joe voiced by Shuichi Uchida (Yutaka Akitsu in KamiErabi God.

Overlord is a popular isekai series that marries brutality and humor to create a hilarious show that's not afraid of exploring darker themes. The star at the center of the series is Ainz Ooal Gown. He's left alone in the video game Yggdrasil, but before he was trapped, he was one of the strongest characters in the game. Now he's alone with only his NPCs to keep him company. After discovering his new situation, he set out to dominate the entire world in the hopes that he could find another person like him.

To be a good Overlord isekai comparison, a show doesn't need to be as dark and funny as Overlord, but it certainly doesn't hurt. The best shows like Overlord will have smart companions to guide the main character, an interesting world filled with the promise of adventure, and a broken protagonist with powers so absurd, they stand...

Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation is one of the best isekai series of all time. It features one of the biggest and richest worlds in isekai, great, well-rounded characters, and an incredibly divisive main character in Rudeus Greyrat. The story of Mushoku Tensei spans Rudy's entire life, starting with his reincarnation into the new world as a baby and leaving no stone unturned. Rudeus begins the story as a baby, eventually goes to magic college, and even begins a family of his own. While not many other animes are like it, there are a few that could be considered worthy comparisons.

To be a good Mushoku Tensei comparison, a show doesn't need to be an isekai, but it doesn't hurt. The biggest qualities a series in common with Mushoku Tensei would have would be its thorough worldbuilding, a great cast of side characters, and a deep, meaningful story that doesn't leave...

Shojo husbandos are typically noble, princely characters with outgoing, overly romantic, personalities. They are usually the shiniest characters in the show, not only for their attire but for their attributes. Yet, not all shojo husbandos are created equal.

An increasing number of shojo husbandos are more dark and broody. Many of them are standoffish and don’t handle their feelings well. They are usually drawn in or secretive about their true desires. Many dark shojo husbandos are too embarrassed to admit any vulnerability. However, when they do eventually open up to their love interests, these dark husbandos are some of the most loving and protective of all.

There’s more plot and less whimsy than you might expect from a movie called “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Scarlet Bond,” an underwhelming spinoff of the popular anime series adaptation of Fuse and Mitz Vah’s illustrated young-adult “light novel” series. This movie still resembles its source material, given its pile-on of high-fantasy characters and backstories.

Your mileage may vary depending on how much you like watching various ogres, orcs, and other magical creatures cast spells and breathlessly explain their supernatural powers’ range and limits.

Then again, “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Scarlet Bond” lacks the light touch and anything-goes humor that usually make the series’s plot seem so fleet and dynamic. This movie doesn’t even focus that much on series lead Rimuru Tempest (voiced by Miho Okasaki), a sentient water-molecule-shaped slime who, in a former life, was a human named Satoru Mikami,...
