Animes that involve traveling to another world make a bad first impression on some viewers, as they are often quickly dismissed as clichés.
However, several animes in this category are excellent choices for those looking to watch a good anime in general. Check out some of our recommendations below:
5. Zero no Tsukaima
Synopsis
Zero no Tsukaima tells the adventures of Saito and Louise who, together, help their colleagues and friends, while occasionally facing situations that risk their lives to save each other. Saito tries to find a way to return to Japan, although he has a mysterious power that allows him to wield swords and other weapons to perform heroic deeds. They also eventually discover the truth behind Louise's magical inability.
Final considerations
A very fun anime, but with its ups and downs, the anime has some unnecessary episodes for the main plot, which can end up immensely frustrating those who don't like “harem” animes, but the ending rewards us in a way capable of moving anyone. viewer.
4. Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu
Synopsis

Final considerations
This one divides opinions, some may find it the most tiring thing in the world to watch, since the protagonist goes back in time several times to shape his destiny, while others may find the idea interesting and simply enjoy the work. Anyway, the anime presents us with intriguing mysteries and a good development of the protagonist Subaru, who suddenly parachutes into a fantasy world.
3. Hataraku Maou-sama!
Synopsis

Final considerations
The first contact with this anime is something totally bizarre, as it starts with a serious narrative tone, but soon shows that it came with the proposal to make the viewer laugh, and it manages to do this in an exquisite way, the 13 episodes of the anime pass so quickly and leaves whoever finishes watching with a feeling of “I want more”. It is a shame that there is no confirmation of the anime's return, however, the light novel is still being published to this day.
2. Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku o!
Synopsis
After a traffic accident, Kazuma Sato's brief and disappointing life should have ended, but he wakes up and sees a beautiful girl standing before him. She says she is Aqua, a goddess, and asks him if he would like to go to another world, taking with him just one thing from this world. Kazuma decides to take the goddess herself with him, and they are transported to a fantasy world full of adventure, dominated by a demon king. Now Kazuma just wants to live in peace, but Aqua wants to solve many of the problems of this new world, and the demon king won't ignore them for long...
Final considerations
Without a doubt, the great thing about this anime is how it manages to play with all the clichés of anime of this genre, the protagonist really manages to convey the idea that he really is an ordinary person who fell headlong into that world, and as they introduce more characters to the work, the jokes get funnier and funnier.
1. Sword Art Online
Synopsis
In the near future, a Massively Multiplayer Online Virtual Reality Game (VRMMORPG) called Sword Art Online was released, where its players control their characters with their own body using a technological device called: NerveGear. One day, players discover that they cannot leave the game, as the game's creator is keeping them trapped unless they reach the 100th floor of the Tower and defeat the final Boss. However, if they die in the game, they will die in real life as well. The fight for survival begins now...
Final considerations
This is without a doubt one of the great pioneers of anime in this category, the first arc manages to convey well what the anime wants to convey, it always has that feeling of danger that someone important will die, in addition to fight scenes that are orchestrated magnificently, both in soundtrack and animation. It is undeniable that the story begins to show signs of weakening compared to the first season after the Alfheim Online arc, however in the Alicization Saga the author manages to develop an excellent narrative, in a universe that now encompasses several very interesting and unique characters, limiting it to just Kirito and Asuna.
The vast majority of anime on the list can be watched officially via Crunchyroll.
