The semi-regular “seeking an anime to watch” struggle

I’m in that awkward period where I’m trying to find an anime I haven’t seen before that I can really sink into, and I’m coming up pretty dry.

It’s been a pretty good year overall, I gotta say. Tomadachi Game, Trapped in a Dating Sim and Lycoris Recoil have been my three highlights as far as “new anime in 2022″ have been concerned. And of course season 2 of The Devil is a Part-Timer! was wonderful to have as well! LOVE that series. 

But lately, I’m bouncing off a TON of shows that I’m trying to get invested in. New and old alike. :( I’m just having a bad run.

I did try watching “Spy x Family” earlier for most of season 1, and it’s cute, but... I keep waiting for the relationships to progress and the stakes to go up, and neither one ever happens? It’s just kinda cute, and occasionally something funny happens for a moment, and that’s about it. Then I found out that in the manga, the Forgers are STILL all oblivious to their various identities/powers... and I lost a lot of interest. Fucking seriously, you’re gonna drag it out THAT fucking long??? There is SO MUCH material to be mined from revealing those things both emotionally and in terms of how it would affect the plot and action going forward! It’d be SO heartwarming to see them start to accept each other for who they are! But NOOOPE. Seems we’re gonna just wait until the VERY END to do anything with that and simply run in place endlessly ‘til then! Well, bored now.

So I gave “Saga of Tanya the Evil” a shot. And I guess the title should’ve warned me that there’s a severe “Who am I rooting for here?” problem. I’m only four episodes in, but I’m struggling to figure out who I should be latching onto. I guess I expect Tanya to be more of a “sneering, manipulative, sinister-acting force for good” kind of like the protagonist of Tomadachi Game, right? But nah; the “Evil” label seems entirely sincere thus far. At least I can relate to the characters uncertainty/skepticism about the presence of a higher power (”Being X”), but I also want Tanya to accept the reality of the situation as the evidence piles up. In addition to that, some of the art style is really off-putting to me? Specifically Vishna, who certainly isn’t treated as though she’s a freakish-looking person in the world of the series, but she definitely looks it to me...

I started watching “Neon Genesis Evangelion” for the first time recently, but... I’m halfway through the series (13 eps) now, and it still hasn’t grabbed me. I wonder if this is just one of those “It was revolutionary for the time, but everybody’s copied it so much by now that it’s not that exciting anymore” kind of situations? Like, did you have to be there? The kids obviously have some psychological depth to them, but... I mean It kinda feels like maybe the fact that these characters have any psychological problems at all is entirely what was once the appeal, and we’ve had TONS of that kind of thing for decades now, so I can’t feel impressed. Or maybe all of the interesting stuff is in the back half? Idk. Shinji is boring, Rei is a blank slate, Asuka is irritating, Misato is an alcoholic but is probably the most likable character... oy.

Isekai, Ranked

If Anime is escapism, there is no better way to escape than plunging Into Another World, where our niche skills and routine possessions may shake the fabric of reality! From MMO-inspired, to hard fantasy, there are many types of shows on this list but no movies nor series we haven’t seen recently. Bring all disagreements to the comments below!

1. Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World Re:Zero takes Isekai’s love for fish-out-of-water stories on step further: through brutal, expectation breaking blind sides, it makes the viewer a fish out of water too! Dripping with fantastic animation, Re:Zero true strength is the balance of its highly detailed world without over explaining its magic system, time loop mechanic and political systems. It also earns bonus points for  limiting the application of its protagonist’s powerful magic and technological advantages.

2. Sword Art Online (1st season)  In the narrowest of second places, SAO pairs top shelf animation with an approachable cast and easy to appreciate central conflict. Its lovingly constructed MMO setting aside, Kirito’s mistakes and occasional darkness elevate him above his potentially generic good-at-everything character type and Asuka plays the strongest heroine/love interest on the list.

3. Now and Then, Here and There Imagine if Digimon told a bleak about story sex trafficking child soldiers trapped on a waterless world with a maniac king? NTHT’s intense swerve from adorable into darkness is on par with Re:Zero and, much like Natsuki Subaru, HTHT’s Shu must rely on ‘durability’ and ‘heart’ to make it through. While some of it’s later tragic moments are predictable, this f’ed-up little anime scores major points for telling a complete story and having that story grow Shu from simpleton into a conflicted young adult.

4. Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet While Red’s post-earth scifi origin may stretch the common definition of Isekai, being trapped in a primitive culture that treats him (and his AI-driven mech Chamber) like a hero of old does not. Beautifully, Gargantia flips the script and makes Red’s overwhelming power, and killing in general, at odds with the local people.

5. Yōjo Senki / The Saga of Tanya the Evil Give us World War I with magic, a gender swapped villain as our protagonist, and God as our antagonist, and you’ve given us something pretty damn original. Like Gargantia, this reborn in another world captures thinking differently about the world can be as powerful and terrifying as unworldly strength. Without question, Yojo Senki’s cast is the most uniquely imagined on this list.

6. No Game No Life Like Tanya, the Blank twins piss off god and are sent to another world as punishment. However, their punishment is much more stylish and… harem. Underneath NGNL’s acid-soaked panties, over the top protagonists and the psychedelic color pallet, lives a show featuring thoughtful puzzles and imaginative spins on classic gamble to win story telling. Sadly, its story ends unfinished…

7. KonoSuba One part jab at Isekai and one part love letter to the starting town of every fantasy MMO, KonoSuba is all parts ruthlessly funny!  While this reborn in another world (with a goddess!) show is not be as smartly written as NGNL, and it becomes repetitive after a time, the constant frenetic action more than makes up for it.

8. Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash Quiet, thoughtful, and full of sadness, this hard fantasy Isekai doesn’t care if its heroes are reborn in another world or trapped in a dungeon crawl afterlife. Building family bonds and connecting with people who would not normally be friends is all that matters… and it’s lovingly animated to boot!

9. ReCreators As a reverse Isekai, ReCreators distinguishes itself by bringing the other world to us. The experience is fantastically animated and packed with clever dialog that somehow breaths sincerity into a profoundly silly plot. The cast is quite diverse, both in design and personality, which keeps the action fresh, yet somehow cohesive throughout. It’s only major flaw is, the final act, which is way to drawn out.

10. The Devil is a Part Timer No I’m not kidding! This reverse Isekai’s premise that the Devil is trapped in our world and must work at McDonnald’s to get by is charming. While DiaPT’s humor isn’t particularly specific to the devil, the jokes are punchy, and the overall plot develops at a respectable pace. As an added treat, the opening gothic fantasy fight scenes are surprisingly well animated.

11. Log Horizon (1st season) Most exposition heavy, trapped in an MMO themed Isekai featuring ‘top ranked’ players crumble after a few episodes. More often than not, these shows try too hard to sell the coolness of their game worlds, user interfaces, and central characters. Miraculously, Log Horizon gets better mid season with a simple question: if former NPCs have personalities, can grow and learn, and even die, are they more human than the former players that dismiss them as background texture? Still, it takes Log Horizon six episodes to get going and good lord is it gray looking…

12. Overlord (3 Seasons) This transported into an MMO Isekai mirrors its main character: it is competent but not sure what it should be doing at any given moment. Sometimes the protagonists are villains and sometimes they are heroes. More often than not, characters are given lavish screen time to develop, only to be slaughtered whimsically. The resulting narrative is full of call backs and revealed foreshadowing… yet hasn’t gone very far in 3 seasons and hasn’t asked any interesting questions along the way.

13. El Hazard – The Magnificent World (OAV/TV) Predestined paradox, trans-dimensional time jumping high school students (and their drunk gym teacher) are trapped in an Arabian Nights’like land besieged by sentient bugs, a secret tribe of assassins from another dimension, and a death star like eye of god orbiting nearby. If you watched anime in the 1990s it will all be familiar but it still manages to feel original yet cohesive production. The character abilities are wonderful, the tragedy is nice, and plenty is left up to your own imagination to fill in the blanks. A bland, fault free, protagonist and a boy-crazy harem vibe are the only reasons it isn’t higher on the list.

14. Gate: Jieitai Kano Chi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri This invading the other world Isekai flips the script to deliver political intrigue, clash of culture, and commentary on Japanese society. It loses points for being a overly harem, relying on super dumb/super evil antagonists, and a dull protagonist but it’s fun enough to watch.

15. Drifters Stylishly violent, strikingly ugly, historical character filled and utterly bonkers, this reborn in another world Isekai’s uniqueness will hold your attention. Even if you do not want it to.

16. Rise of the Shield Hero (2 Seasons) On paper, this transported to an MMO world Isekai’s “treat the hero like crap,” “watch him accept the role of a slave-buying villain” and ultimately “rise to become the true hero” concept is great. Revealing that the world he’s saving may be less redeemable than the world the invaders are trying to save is also great. Too bad its padded and many of the arbitrary delays and narrative dead ends feel like cop outs.

17. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime While it lacks the initial hardcore’ness of Shield Hero, this reborn in another world Isekai is pleasantly animated and full of heart. The idea that naming monsters grants them power is a pretty neat mechanic too. It just sort bounces from idea to idea without a sense of purpose of resolution. One minute it’s a story of unlikely friendship, then magic destiny, then town builder, then harem, and onto magic school and isn’t about anything in particular until a hastily thrown together plot ties it up at the end. It scores points for making its hero a slime… although the reborn aspect never feels played with or justified.

18. Angel Beats! If the gun fetish, kids fighting a loli-angel instead of attending school in the afterlife plot weren’t so dumb and drawn out, this rebirth story’s touching moments would push it much higher. There’s a really good tale of life cut short, reunion after death, and again after rebirth here and it gets major bonus points for finishing the story it had to tell. Totally squandered.

19. Death March / Kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku Like Shield Hero, this reborn in an MMO Isekai is actually quite good looking. However, its Gary-Stue protagonist, harem and absurd narrative padding make it far less interesting.  OMG how many episodes are about making lunch?! That’s too bad because the concept of code-like “copy and paste” magic system is pretty neat.

20. Wiseman’s Grandson / Kenja no Mago Despite opening with a modern day man being killed, this reborn into a fantasy world Isekai is more Magic School than Isekai. The only thread that connects the protagonist’s lives is that he can look at magic with an eye for process instead of outcome. The result is harmless easy watching but harem elements, a slow pace and lack of getting anywhere narratively hold it back.

21. How Not to Summon a Demon Lord This summoned into an MMO Isekai starts off as charming, but ecchi-heavy, before abruptly turning dark at the end of the season. We’re talking ‘make a child watch as her best friend is slowly tortured to death’ and creepo ‘finger-bang a loli cat girl in order to give birth to the demon inside her’ level dark. While those elements elevate HNtSaDL above niche appeal of its harm and MMO content, they aren’t so interesting to earn my recommendation.

22. Problem Children are coming from Another World, Aren’t They? The non-ecchi poor man’s No Game no Life features a talking cat that only some characters can understand and dreadful music. TFW smooth jazz? There’s some cuteness to be had, and the solutions to gambling games can be clever, but the overall vibe is low energy. It loses drama points because its protagonist is as smart as a god and physically stronger.

23. Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks? This poor man’s Konosuba is occasionally funny, satire of RPG conventions and family relationships. Mama’s skill that interrupts whatever her son is doing, no matter what it is or where he is in the game world, is particularly charming. Unfortunately, there’s no avoiding the creepo factor of sexualizing that family relationship.

24. Restaurant from Another World My mom is secretly from another world and my restaurant’s front door connects back to that world each day is certainly unique, but it’s structured more like a food-porn show than Isekai. While the linkages of each patron become clear over time, few characters are not aware of those connections themselves. The result never feels like it gets anywhere.

25. In Another World With My Smartphone Stories without risk are still watchable when they immerse us an interesting world, or delve into niche details like food or how magic works, or sleeze us with harems and sex appeal. Smartphone fails all of these things. Worse, it does nothing with it’s one idea: protagonist Touya is reborn in a fantasy world with smartphone. Except, GOD GIVES HIM GOD TIER MAGIC FROM THE GET-GO! Ironically, Re:Zero and No Game No Life both use of a cell phones in more interesting ways, and Tanya’s God isn’t even comparable. Unoriginal, unfunny, not dramatic, not sexy, not worth watching.

26. Maou-sama, Retry! This transported to an MMO Isekai’s trash production values, and bizarre characters are hard to take seriously. The results are sometimes so terrible they are funny, such as incompetent background music transitions and detailed horses hiding at the edges of the frame. Sadly, a bland harem and complete lack of narrative objective kill the mood.

27. Isekai Izakaya Imagine a low energy, public access style show, with a tourism theme, that featuring a modern Japanese restaurant that serves fantasy world patrons…

28. Isekai Cheat Magician A loveless summoned to a fantasy world Isekai who’s protagonists are the most powerful and purely good characters could deserve a niche rating. Not this one. The narrative sort of ‘skips the boring stuff’ and, in doing so, skips character development. Hilariously, what the narrative does show is poorly animated, always underwhelming magic battle scenes or people standing around talking.

29. Endride Without dialog, this stumbled into a magic world Isekai’s vibrant color and crisp art would be watchable. The fact that the world is somehow inside of Earth’s core and the sparse use of mythology are unique, but its dumb-as-bricks whiny teen protagonists have the maturity of a small children. There are many unintentionally funny moments like scientists using gigantic laptops or the king’s magic weapon looking like a safety pin. Ultimately, the cast is so unlikeable that the show itself is unwatchable.

Mossybunni’s Low Maintenance Anime List

I love anime, but sometimes I can’t find it in me to commit to a 200 episode series. Below are some of my favorite under 30 episode animes. Keep in mind special episodes and movies are not counted in episode count.

Girls Und Panzer (12 Episodes)

School girls and tank warfare, what more could you want? Girls Und Panzer tells the story of girls’ schools who train their students in the art of tank warfare, or sensha-do. Keep in mind all of this warfare takes place on carrier ships called Academy Ships. Friendship, teamwork and historically accurate tanks/battle tactics are main features of this series (my boyfriend commented on how well done the battle scenes were) as well as comedic moments. I should also mention I love badass girls/women in anime wielding weapons which was honestly the main reason I watched this series.

Celestial Method (13 Episodes)

I finished this series in two days because of how cute it was. Celestial Method centers around Nonoka Komiya and her return to the town she grew up in. Upon returning, she learns a mysterious saucer has appeared above the town. Add in themes of friendship, believing in wishes/dreams and the cute alien-like girl Noel, it’s easy to binge watch this anime.

The Devil is a Part-Timer! (13 Episodes)

Again, this series is very bingeable. The Devil is a Part-Timer places Satan in modern day Japan after he and another demon escape after being defeated in the land known as Ente Isla. Magic is not allowed in the human world, so they must learn to adapt. There is an overarching problem through the series, but I don’t want to give too much away. It sounds like a strange series, but it’s honestly very funny and has great fantasy elements woven throughout the real world setting. I’m also a sucker for any media that involves angels.

Your Lie in April (22 Episodes)

This.Series.Messed.Me.Up. Seriously. Probably the most emotionally taxing anime on this list, Your Lie in April centers on the relationship between piano prodigy Kosei Arima and violinist Kaori Miyazono. The classical music used throughout the series as well as the beautiful animation is what drew me in initially and the music anime genre was something completely new to me. The way real world topics are portrayed, such as friendship, parental relationships, dating, and general teenager problems, are captured so well. There is a huge plot detail I’m leaving out because, spoiler, but if you watch this, you will understand why this series emotionally derailed me.

The Seven Deadly Sins (24 Episodes)

I was debating on whether or not to include this series, as there have been whispers of a season 3 and the 4 episode filler season 2, but I decided to include it as season 2 doesn’t have anything to do with the 24 episode series.

The Seven Deadly Sins can best be described as Knights of the Round Table meets Dungeons & Dragons. The group of knights known as The Seven Deadly Sins have been deemed criminals and are trying to clear their names, there are kings, princesses, knights, and magic. It’s a very high fantasy inspired and I always recommend this series to people who are looking for a new anime to watch.

Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase (25 Episodes)

Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase follows freelance photographer Kouhei Morioka and his meeting of Hazuki, a young vampire girl. Hazuki attempts to make Kouhei her servant by feeding on his blood, but to no avail. The series then follows the pair and Kouhei’s attemptes to free Hazuki from the grips of elder vampires.

Chobits (26 Episodes)

Besides Sailor Moon and Tokyo Mew Mew, Chobits is an anime I credit for getting me into anime and manga in the first place. Chobits explores the relationship humans have with electronics and does so by creating a world where persocoms exist. Persocoms are specialized android devices made to look like humans. The series focuses on one particaular persocom, known as Chi, and the relationship she has with student Hideki Motosuwa. It’s a very interesting series and really does make one think about the role electronics/technology have in your everyday life.

Vampire Knight (26 Episodes)

Admittedly, I like the manga better (I love Matsuri Hino’s art style) but the adaptation of the first 10 volumes is still an enjoyable series. Vampire Knight takes place at Cross Academy, a special boarding school for humans and vampires. The series follows the age old human vs. vampire struggle as well as main character Yuki Cross as she tries to regain her childhood memories. And of course, there is romance. The music used in Vampire Knight is beautiful and really adds to the darker parts of the series. I kind of consider this my “guilty pleasure” series because yeah, vampires and romance are cheesy, but...I love vampires and romance.
