Bubbleblabber’s Definitive Top Ten International Animated Series of 2020 (English Dubbed)
8) Ascendance of a Bookworm
Since it’s not very action-packed, and also focused primarily on a group of children, it doesn’t fit the isekai model. It might not be appealing to the more traditional isekai viewer, who usually tends to like fighting stories, or at least stories with a more concrete conflict. Since this is rather slow paced, it might be hard for most isekai viewers to get into. However, it has an extremely unique presence and is quite clever, unfurling the world depending on what Mine needs or wants, and offering a reason for its limited point of view. It’s a simple premise, but one that’s quite charming. It might not be a knock it out of the park kind of anime, but it’s worth trying in its uniqueness, and is overall, a smart but gentle story.
