Okay, let's be honest. We've all watched In Another World With My Smartphone. And many of us secretly enjoyed it. Even if we pretend we didn't.
But sometimes, you just need more overpowered protagonists and ridiculously easy solutions. So, what are the best anime to binge after you've finished Touya's adventures?
The Obvious Choices (and Why They're Obvious)
First up, Konosuba! It's the gold standard of isekai comedies.
Kazuma is basically the anti-Touya. Instead of being effortlessly cool, he's a useless bum. Which is exactly why it's so funny!
Then we have Re:Zero. Subaru dies. A lot.
It's dark, it's gritty, and it's definitely not as breezy as our smartphone hero's escapades. But hey, sometimes you need a little suffering with your fantasy.
My (Slightly Controversial) Picks
Now for the fun part! These are the shows you might not immediately think of, but trust me, they deliver the isekai goods.
First, let's talk about That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. Rimuru starts as, well, a slime.
He's still overpowered, but in a much more charming way. The world-building is fantastic too.
Then, there's Overlord. Imagine if Touya decided to be a benevolent god. No wait, scratch that. A benevolent overlord!
Ainz Ooal Gown is hilarious and terrifying. Perfect for those who want a darker twist.
Here's a wild card: Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious. The title says it all.
Seiya is ridiculously strong, but he's also paranoid. It's a brilliant parody of the isekai genre.
The "Guilty Pleasure" Category
Okay, these are the ones you might feel a little embarrassed to admit you like. But hey, no judgment here!
I'm talking about Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody. It's pure wish fulfillment.
The protagonist is a programmer who wakes up in a game world. He immediately levels up and becomes ridiculously powerful.
And finally, there's Isekai Cheat Magician. Another OP protagonist with a harem? Check!
Is it groundbreaking? Nope. Is it entertaining in a brain-dead sort of way? Absolutely!
"Sometimes you just need to turn off your brain and enjoy the ride."
So, there you have it. A list of anime that will scratch that "overpowered isekai protagonist" itch. Don't be afraid to embrace the cheese!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rewatch In Another World With My Smartphone. I mean, for research purposes, of course.
