The 2024 isekai anime lineup promises a great blend of new and continuing series. Among the releases, some are sure to shine, while others may not meet the expectations. “Suicide Squad Isekai” is likely to be one of the biggest disappointments, while the third season of “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime” has already faced challenges in matching the quality of its predecessors.
Here are the 8 best isekai anime of 2024:
8. No Longer Allowed in Another World
Initially, “No Longer Allowed in Another World” is a comedic fantasy series, with its opening episodes serving as a parody of the isekai genre. The main character, Sensei, is a humorous figure, while other characters tend to react more to the personality of the main character.
However, this anime has a scattered plot with several stories that highlight different characters and truly invokes a mix of emotional and comedic elements.
7. The Wrong Way To Use Healing Magic
“The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic” doesn’t offer many new concepts, but it focuses primarily on the main character who is a healer. It’s noteworthy that the character is portrayed in a way that makes it distinctly different from most works in the same genre.
6. Demon Lord 2099
After being defeated by humanity’s heroes, Demon Lord Veltol disappears for 500 years before being resurrected. However, he wakes up in a completely different world, a universe where magic and science coexist in a captivating yet chaotic manner. In this world, one of Veltol’s unique abilities is to control the terrain.
5. Tsukimichi -Moonlit Fantasy Season 2
Although it hasn’t received high ratings compared to top isekai anime, “Tsukimichi -Moonlit Fantasy-” still stands out among similar works, with its second part adding more depth to the story. Building on the ideas introduced in the previous part, the next installment sees Makoto exploring a vast, safe area of his own, where he encounters non-human characters while being guided by a mentor.
4. The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash
While it may not be the most popular isekai anime of 2024, “The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash” features the most beloved main character in the genre this year, Ivy. The isekai aspect is also quite low-key, with Ivy navigating a challenging life in a foreign world while facing numerous trials and tribulations.
3. Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World Season 3
Divided into two parts, “Re:ZERO” Season 3 will air eight episodes in 2024, with the second part set to premiere in 2025. Therefore, it’s difficult to evaluate the entire season due to the incomplete storyline. However, what has been released so far shows a fantastic narrative. When completed, Season 3 could very well be the strongest saga of “Re:ZERO,” making it one of the best stories in the isekai genre overall.
2. Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 Part 2
“Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation” often sparks division among fans, with Rudeus being the most controversial character in the isekai genre. Nonetheless, the second part of Season 2 is regarded as the best work in the series to date.
This season is divided into three sagas: Rudeus and Sylph’s deepening relationship, Norn’s challenges, and the Rapan expedition. Despite the significant differences, these storylines strongly emphasize themes of regret, coming-of-age, and Rudy’s growth, creating a rich narrative tapestry that places the main character in a much stronger position than at the beginning.
1. KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! 3
“KonoSuba” offers a completely different narrative compared to “Re:ZERO” or “Mushoku Tensei.” The story in Season 3 continues to highlight the camaraderie among the heroes. The currently ongoing storyline intricately ties together Kazuma, Megumin, Aqua, and Darkness, showcasing their many adventures, evolving into a family dynamic, regardless of their preferences.
