The worst isekai anime according to otakus
It is interesting to observe how different tastes and expectations can influence the reception of works within this much discussed genre. Although as many are already aware, the isekai genre, known for transporting protagonists to alternative or fantasy worlds, has experienced significant growth in recent years. However, it is important to note that popularity is not always a guarantee of quality, as evidenced by the results of this ranking.
Among the reasons that may explain why an isekai anime series can be rated so poorly are the lack of originality in the plot, underdeveloped characters, excessive clichés and poor execution. But several of these series fell into repeating previously seen formulas, without contributing anything new to the genre.
10. Sengoku Night Blood | Points: 6.15
9. In Another World with My Smartphone | Points: 6.13
8. Kekkon Yubiwa Monogatari | Points: 6.12
7. 100 Sleeping Princes and the Kingdom of Dreams | Points: 5.91
6. Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria | Points: 5.69

4. Endride | Points: 5.59
3. Isekai Cheat Magician | Points: 5.47
2. Märchen Mädchen | Points: 5.40
1. Conception | Points: 4.59
However, even in this challenging scenario, there are notable examples of isekai series that managed to win over the public and were acclaimed for their originality and quality. Therefore, it is these rare pearls that remind us that, even in a sea of productions, there are those that stand out and leave a lasting mark. However, it is undeniable that such cases are exceptions in an ocean of works that, unfortunately, failed to live up to viewers' expectations.
