10 Best Isekai Anime you Should Watch Once in Your Life

In the fantasy subgenre known as isekai, a character is abruptly teleported from their world into a strange or new one.

Western literature classics like Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Frank L. Baum's The Wizard of Oz, and even J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan all make reference to this idea, thus it is not foreign to the western world.

The main characters of isekai novels are transported to alternate fantasy realms filled with magic, swords, and adventures, much like Alice, Dorothy Gale, and Wendy Darling.
