Good Isekai Anime on Reincarnation, Transmigration, and Summon
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
Satoru Mikami is an ordinary corporate worker who gets stabbed while saving someone. His last moments were filled with thoughts of pain, cold, and such which eventually made him reincarnate as the slime. But here’s the catch, getting reincarnated as a slime wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Among all the isekai fantasy creature slimes are probably the ones with the most unexplored and often mysteriously OP abilities. Traits that made them weak, might actually be the strongest if only used right. And that is what our MC will show us, so watch his journey from weakest to strongest.
Overlord
After getting stuck in the new world with the guild and NPC he didn’t want to abandon even when the game was shutting down, Momonga now Ainz Ooal Gown will protect his followers. And he is well capable of doing that, or why would he be called Overlord. His skills and years of experience are with him making him worthy of such title and trust of his companion.
KonoSuba
Ever wondered what it would be like to have a goddess as your companion on a journey to defeat a demon king. Kazuma Satou got this opportunity and it’s nothing like he imagined. With the perfect blend of comic and heroic endeavors, you’ll not find a dull moment throughout their adventure. And the team they make will also leave you often pitying their enemies.
The Devil is a Part-Timer!
Demon Lord working as a part-timer in MgRonald. Even thought of that might leave you cracking a laugh, but that’s exactly what happens here. Unlike most isekai anime, the human doesn’t get teleported to a fantasy world, but the demon lord ends up in modern-day Japan. And what if he’s a demon lord, he can’t live without money, right? Watch demon lord now disguised as Sadao Maou being the best employee any restaurant could ask for.
No Game No Life
Sora and Shiro, step-siblings who found the world boring and loved games like no one else ended up in the Disboard. Disboard is a world where everything is decided by games. Looks like they have found their calling, as they didn’t just love games, but they were pretty indestructible at almost every game. Watching them play games that decide fates will keep you on the edge of your seat till the end.
So I’m a Spider, So What?
Most of her classmates who died in the catastrophe ended up being reborn as nobles or at least a human, but she was born as a spider. Constantly getting attacked by the powerful creatures of the depth, she is not ready to give up.
It is refreshing to see how she deals with beings that are twice or thrice times powerful than her and also, levels up to evolve and become indestructible herself. And to be honest, she is cute even as a spider, why would anyone want to hunt someone like her?
The Eminence in Shadow
Minoru Kagenou wanted to become the strongest one could be, so he dedicated all his life to training to be one. But humans have limits, no matter how powerful he is, there is no way he can withstand nuclear weapons as a human. And even if he could, he’d remain in the shadows, as he is the hero who wants to be the ultimate and perfect background character. That desire of his doesn’t leave him, even after he gets reincarnated in the world with magic. Except for the fact that this world is perfect for him to act in the shadows.
I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss
Aileen Lauren is a villainess of the otome game, who recovers her past life memories when crown prince Cedric Jeanne Elmir broke engagement with her. And now since she’s aware of the future, there is no way she is going to walk that part. After considering how she could avoid all the red flags, she comes to the conclusion that the only way for her to escape this destiny is by marrying the final boss. He is also the half-brother of Cedric and a Demon King. The love story of Villainess and the Final Boss is definitely not to be missed.
Re:Zero
As Subaru Natsuki was leaving the convenience store, he got dragged into the fantasy world. But his summoner was nowhere to be found. With no knowledge of the place and no money in hand, he had no choice but to search for the one who summoned him. But while he was doing that, he got attacked and was saved by the mysterious silver-haired half-elf girl.
To repay her, he decides to help her find the stolen item she is looking for, only to die and wake up at the very moment he gets dragged here. And now he is the only one who remembers what happened, no matter how many times he goes back in time. This isekai anime is one of the most emotional ones, where you can feel the confusion and desire to escape everything that torments you, yet try to gather the will to stay.
How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom
Nineteen years old Kazuya Souma is an intelligent and calm person, who only had his grandfather in the name of family. But after his grandfather’s death, he was left all alone, until he was summoned to another world as a hero. Now who says that heroes become heroes through combating evil, Souma is a realist who saves the kingdom by recovering its flagging economy.
