Damn
Sure are a lot of isekais nowadays.
I think there are 8 this season plus 2 reverse Isekai and 1 Isekai spinoff from Konosuba.
The two Reverse ones have been fun actually.
Otaku Elf is a warm fuzzy to relax with. Sprinkled with historical trivia as Elda remembers how things were done in the good old days.
Dead Mount Death Play is actually pretty interesting so far, staring a Dark Souls Boss who got reincarnated on Modern Day Earth and is looking for a nice quiet life for him and his zombies. Even if he has to murder everyone to get it.
So that KamiKatsu series I mentioned before
Just hit with a Hell of good plot twist
The show has problems but episode 5 was a pretty good game changer for the story.
I am loving The Legendary Hero Is Dead.
I don't know that there is any other character who has actually gotten to marry his entire harem, and then some.
Space Dandy. It's an intentional parody of other anime so you may be overlooking it.
It was hard to watch it to the end. The final 2 part episode was the most preposterous.

Coming Soon
Delicious in Dungeons
F~*+ YEAH!
Not anime but still fun animation. Skull Island on netflix. Not focused on Kong himself although he is a presence, just mostly people trying (most unsuccessfully) not to die on an island full of monsters.
Annie is a wonderful little feral gremlin. Charlie is ok if a little whinny. Mike's a good guy but It feels like he is destined to mutate into a 2nd season big bad.
Certainly worth checking out if you have netflix
I need to finish bastard!! And watch High School DXD on a non-censored platform.
ok this Isekai stuff has gone too far now.
This was posted on rpg.net of an Isekai that might even top that.
Reborn As A Vending Machine, He Now (can't really) Wander The Dungeon (without help)
..So, we have hit peak isekail :3
A die-hard vending machine fan (well, those exist. Have you actually SEEN the variety that exists over there?) tries to prevent a vending machine from falling off the back of a moving truck, thereby becoming the second person this season to be crushed to death.
When he next realizes it... he's now, well, a vending machine. Complete with inability to move and a very limited vocabulary.
Worse... he's in fantasyland. Who the heck knows how to use a vending machine in a non-scifi kitchen sink fantasyland? This story sadly isn't set in the Recettear universe, so those haven't existed yet.
Worse still... he's literally in the middle of nowhere, in the open, in full view of any wandering monsters who happen by. Sadly, none of them seem to have the INT to do anything except hit him to get at his wares.
The only good news here is that he's no normal vending machine, for he partially works off sim game logic, with this point build mechanic. Which does allow him to do things from changing his product lineup, repair himself, generate a shield to deter monsters that try to scrap him etc.
That said, he only has a limited amount of points to start with - and no way to get more points unless someone buys something.
Did I mention he has to pay upkeep with those selfsame points since a power grid doesn't exist - and if he runs outta points (or structural integrity), he literally re-dies?
This is it boys, this is the one that dared to break all the standard isekai tropes by making the MC an all-but-inanimate object , and the best part is, IT STICKS. This is the one that, above all else, refuses to cheat the one-way communication limitation and immobility away.

...That Vending Machine one was better than it had any right to be.
First episode of Helck was fun
Dark Gathering is getting more interesting as it goes on. This little girl has some scary ways of thinking but clearly she is getting the results she wants. Good Evil, she doesn't care so long as she kills the thing that took her mother.
To that end she is building an army of evil spirits that are terrified of her, using them against each other, forcing them to beg for her protection from the others.
The contrast with her cute character design is very effective.
Pile of new stuff with several that look pretty good. So far
My daughter became an S-Rank adventurer; Not a bad start, central joke could get repetitive but 2nd episode starts introducing elements of a more serious plotline
Frieren: What happens after the adventure, follow the story of a High Elf mage retrace the path she and her friends followed decades ago. This is a pleasant if slightly melancholy watch
Shy Good start to a Superhero story about a young new hero fighting her own anxieties while saving others
let me read the walkthrough....this was much more fun than I had expected, possibly because I had low expectations going it. CGI series about a woman in her 30s isekaied into a Game world after falling to her death. It's by Bilibili and I've enjoyed their stuff before, so I am probably going to stick with this.

The Faraway Paladin; Rust Mountain story has been great and feel very rooted in D&D. Excellent portrayal of a Paladin and I have to admit I am finding Stagnate, God of the Undead, very interesting. An evil god who loves humanity, who thinks beautiful things, like a heroic spirit, should last forever.
and evil god that just wants to help
I'm in love with the villainess was slightly funny, slightly icky, meaning I will probably drop it. I may watch another episode if I remember it.
I'm in.
New shows for us Gentlemen of Culture with anime titties galore this season.

Today's Lesson
If you are not a Magical Girl and you are attacked by a Monster, a Brick can be just as effective as a Magic Wand.

You are becoming cultured.
I need to get out and move more before that stuff starts growing...
More proof that Sulfur is Best Girl.Today's Lesson
If you are not a Magical Girl and you are attacked by a Monster, a Brick can be just as effective as a Magic Wand.
I mean the show is what it is, but yeah, Sulfer is a fantastic Magical Girl Brawler.
Suicide Squad Isekai is looking better with every new trailer
One weird Isekai anime is titled something like 'My overpowered death ability lets me win.' or something like that.
Usually, an Isekai has truck-kun wallop someone into another world and they display special powers, get attractive people following themselves and save the world and/or other things while maybe giving token nods to having hard fights.
'Death' skips all that and haves the MC an eldritch abomination that can kill anyone and everyone. Think of someone/something. Got it? They dead.
DC/Marvel universe combined? Everyone is dead Dave.
One Punch Man,Popeye with Spinach, SCP-682 from SCP Foundation? Dead-O.
Now the moral of the story would be 'Don't mess with reality ending abomination' with plenty of nasties insisting on doing that and getting killed. However the MC is a very unlikable sort and with the tiny exception of a few cases will kill anyone if they get in his way. Even mind-controlled slaves who are forced to fight will get killed and even if they get freed and promise to return to their lives of pacifist farmers and oh please don't kill us will get killed.
So I think this might count as 'Revenge Isekai' I think where is instead of power fantasies one gets even with people because of reasons.
yeah I kind of didn't bother with that one
but damn I am happy to see a new season of Konosuba.
We got Chris shenanigans coming this season
So far only DAL and Konosuba (and the occasional episode of Urusei Yatsura) has made an impression. I've tried a couple of shows but they were so forgettable I've literally forgotten what they were called and what happened in them.
Does anyone have recommendations for good shows I may have missed?
It's a fairly weak season. I've been enjoying "Tsukimichi; Moonlit Fantasy". It's a fairly decent Isekai with some interesting twists. "Delicious in Dungeons" over on Netflix is pretty fun too.
A few other shows that have something neat to them, but nothing really stands out. "Reincarnated as the 7th prince" can be fun when the kid goes psycho to cut loose with his magic, but you have to get past the Shota elements.
Last season had "Frieren" and "Apothecary Diary". Neither was particularly fast paced but both very well written.
