Ben Schmidt’s Top 5 Isekai Anime (As of 2022)
4) Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World
If you want dark and depressing then this is the isekai for you. Subaru just randomly finds himself in another world with no clue how he got there. What makes this interesting is that Subaru isn’t gifted any powers or anything. In fact, he might be worse off here because so many others DO have powers and magic. One thing he does have though is an ability called “Return by Death” which lets him rewind to a checkpoint of sorts. All he has to do is endure multiple agonizing deaths in the process. Easy right? This one isn’t for the faint of heart because it does get brutal but it’s very popular for a reason. Plus it has two dubbed seasons out now!
Honorable Mention: The World’s Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat
This one I had a lot of fun watching AND reading. I hope this gets a continuation because it was really cool. It is fairly simple though, the protagonist is as overpowered as they come but to be fair it is mostly because of his former profession and he uses modern-day ideas. There are some harem elements but at least so far Lugh only has eyes for one woman. The world is interesting and the magic system is cool as well. Plus Lugh kind of feels like an assassin Batman with the whole secret identity thing.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
