Cross-posted from "What's up with the isekai genre? Are there any good isekais out there?" by @[email protected] in [email protected]


It seems like every manga or anime adaption nowadays are isekais with absurdly long titles. As someone who hasn't read that much manga for the past few years but just started again, it's kinda crazy to see all these pop up. Are there actually any good ones out there? Or are most of them just "guilty pleasures"? The only one I've been reading is Ascendance of a Bookworm which is kinda interesting.

If I had to pick just one, which one would you suggest?

The OAVs: Etranger and Leda are concentrated 80s anime goodness, so go with those first.

Leda is more visually fantastic, so it's easier to get into.

It takes some dedication to watch the whole TV shows.

Zenshu, lol.

I promise you it isn't an "overpowered main character" kinda show. There's far too many restrictions on Natsuko's powers in practice and they run into those restrictions within a short number of episodes. It pretends to follow the formula for just a few episodes then turns into something quite unique.
