There're Dozens of Isekai Anime, but I Gave Only These 8 New Titles a Perfect 10/10
Here, characters venture into other worlds, and rewrite their fate. Sometimes they do so with a sword in hand, and other times – with a book about medicinal herbs.
One of the most popular anime genres is isekai – stories, where characters end up in another world and often gain useful (and not-so-useful) powers that they must use to face global threats.
New titles in this genre are released almost every month, but I have chosen only the ones that truly deserve your attention.
