Suppose you woke up after going to sleep and found yourself reincarnated into a new world or entirely new universe.
In this new world, you have the powers and abilities that you had dreamed of. All of us have our fantasy world where we want to live, right?
As a child, I always wanted to live in the pokemon universe and wanted to become a powerful wizard like just Harry Potter and yes, I still do!
This is what Isekai anime is all about. The MC (main character) reincarnated in another world with powers.
In this blog, I am going to talk about the best isekai anime with op mc (overpowered main character) which you can watch.
But first, let’s understand what is an isekai anime for people who are just beginning in this genre.
What Does Isekai Mean In Anime?
In Japanese, Isekai means “a strange” world where the protagonist is transported or reborn into another world. In most cases, it is either through death and reincarnation or by summoning the main character. At the beginning of an isekai, the main character often has powers and abilities,
I think now it is pretty much clear what is an isekai anime.
What Anime Made Isekai Popular?
An anime that made Isekai popular is Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, with its light novel released on 24 November 2015 sparked the Isekai genre, and its manga was launched into three volumes on October 26, 2019, and the last was released on December 26, 2020.
So, let’s take a look at which is the best isekai anime to watch.

Now let’s discuss this anime in detail
How Not to Summon a Demon Lord
The love Isekai has for game worlds cannot be explained.
The main character Takuma Sakamoto is a pro gamer who is mysteriously transported into his favorite video game world as his own game character Demon King Diablo.
The overpowered diablo was summoned by two girls Rem and Shera to accompany them on their adventure.
The overpowered diablo helped the girls with their missions and set out on adventures. No one in the game world can stop the demon lord Diablo!
The anime does have a lot of fan service scenes, which is very common in isekai.
Arifureta: From Commonplace to World’s Strongest
Based on the name, you can guess that it has overpowered MC.In the opening song, the OP MC Hajime can already be seen in another world, where they were transported.
Throughout this series, the protagonist was transported along with his entire class and their homeroom teacher.
As a result of one of his comrades betraying him, he is the only one among them that is overpowered.
He did not train so hard for revenge as you might think. Additionally, the show includes romance, harems, violence, fantasy, and character development where the protagonist is smart and intelligent.
Overlord
Overlord is one of the most popular isekai anime with op mc reincarnated as a wizard master of the dark guild who is known as Ainz Ooal Gown.
A gamer discovers himself changed into his game character, the Elder Lich Momonga, after being unexpectedly teleported to another world. Later, he changes his identity to Ainz Ooal Gown and obtains control of the Tomb of Nazarick.
He makes the decision to take over the entire world with his newly acquired power and an army of loyal followers.
Despite being far more powerful than any other character in the series.
Overlord is now returning for Season 4 currently airing.
The Misfit of Demon King Academy
I must say that everything about this anime was brilliantly made.
It features a theme of love and hope, making it one of the most popular Isekai anime of recent years.
Anos Voldigoad, the demon king, is the protagonist. As a baby, Anos Voldigoad returns to life after years of battle between the demons and the human race.
He is so powerful that even with a fraction of his strength, nothing can stand in his way. . I haven’t mentioned the way he brags, no, this man boasts differently. No character has ever been so confident as Anos Voldigoad.
Cautious Hero
A unique isekai anime with an OP MC and a good plot, Cautious Hero is another unique isekai anime with op mc reincarnated as a hero.
The main character, Seiya Ryuguin, is massively overpowered, although he is extremely cautious, and he does not like to engage in battle. However, no demon lord can stop him.
As well as comedy, there is also a romance with some surprises to keep the audience interested.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is considered the best and most popular isekai anime out there
There’s a good chance you’re thinking aren’t slimes weak?
Our protagonist Mikami Satoru reincarnated into a fantasy world as a monster – a gelatinous slime after suffering a stab wound in his world.
Mikami renames himself Rimuru Tempest. As a result of the power of the slime, he is capable of absorbing the skills and powers of whatever he consumes.
In 2019 it was voted as best anime protagonist in Chrunchyroll Anime Award.
The Rising of the Shield Hero
Rising of the Shield Hero is the only anime with a dark plot.
The MC of the show, Naofumi Iwatani, was summoned into another world to be the Shield Hero, along with the three other heroes.
The beginnings of his journey are difficult for him due to the quick betrayals he experiences. While Naofumi is the weakest of the heroes, he trains to become stronger to build a party of heroes to save the world.
The Saga of Tanya the Evil
This story tells the story of Tanya Degurechaff. A Japanese salaryman is reincarnated into a new world as Tanya by Being X or God.
When Tanya was a child, she decided to join the military.
Through her knowledge of her past life and natural magic, she rises through the ranks in hopes of living a luxurious life one day.
The Devil is a Part-Timer
Okay, this is one of my favorite isekai animes. The protagonist is actually a Demon Lord in his universe.
He was nearly defeated by the Hero Emilia, and he escaped to Earth in human form as Sadao Maou, now works at Mgronald to survive in Tokyo with a loyal servant.
An extremely powerful demon lord is the MC of this reverse isekai anime.
It’s fun to watch the devil is a part-timer. There’s magic, comedy, and nice action. Everything fits together perfectly
The show returns for a 2nd season after more than ten years.
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation
In Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation, a man living a very pointless life, gets reborn into a magical world as Rudeus Greyrat.
He builds relationships and starts to look for meaning in his life as he grows in his new family and learns magical skills.
This animated series has lovely animation and strong character and story development. The protagonist is known for talking about disturbing things. This anime is for adults.

Three Best Isekai Animes To Watch
These three Isekai animes are my favorites. The MC are not the strongest, but the weakest in Isekai anime
KonoSuba
Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World
KonoSuba
To be honest, I was not interested in this anime at first because the name didn’t appeal to me. Yup, sorry about that. Later, I gave this anime a try, and now it’s one of my favorites.
Konosuba’s plot with a great blend of comedy makes it one of the best isekai anime out there. It also won FUNIMATION’s Best Isekai of the Decade award!
The story is about Kazuma who died an embarrassing death and meets a goddess Aqua, who lets him decide if he wants to go to heaven or be reborn in a fantasy world.
Kazuma is transported into the fantasy world by choosing to be reborn. He is given the task of fighting a demon lord there.
In order not to spoil the fun that happened in this scene, I kept the intro very simple. If you were thinking he is an OP MC, Kazuma didn’t even have any power in the beginning still he is the G.O.A.T protagonist.
Yes, it has adult comedy and a harem like every other isekai anime.
Re:ZERO
Re:zero is the only anime with its own unique story, and it’s one of the most intense and dark isekai you’ll ever see. It’s not like the other anime where there’s lots of fun and harems.
The story is about Natsuki Subaru who gets teleported to a magical world.
The only power this man has is the ability to come back from the dead.
The pace of the beginning episodes will appear slow, but keep going because it improves with every episode
Isekai Quartet
It’s like an “Avengers Assemble” of isekai anime since it includes characters from Overlord, Tanya the Terrible, Re: Zero, KonoSuba, and Shield Hero.
It’s a really cute and enjoyable show.
