[00:00] Isakai is an evergrowing genre that

[00:02] continues to glorify itself as one of

[00:03] the best genre in the anime industry.

[00:05] Though, let's be honest, not every

[00:07] isekai that comes out is great as many

[00:09] of them tend to be generic trash.

[00:14] [Music]

[00:20] >> However, some underrated isekai that I

[00:22] know of proved themselves worthy and

[00:24] have leveled up drastically. This is the

[00:26] day where I give you guys the perfect

[00:28] underrated Disgay anime series to watch

[00:30] that you may have missed out on.

[00:40] [Music]

[00:46] Why don't we start with something more

[00:48] simple yet fun and pretty damn

[00:50] predictable, I'd say. But that doesn't

[00:52] really mean it's all that bad of a show.

[00:54] chilling in another world with my level

[00:56] two super cheap powers. This protagonist

[00:58] looks weak, but as soon as he reached

[01:00] level two, let's just say things got

[01:02] interesting because he got very

[01:04] overpowered because his abilities are

[01:07] equivalent to cheat skills that made him

[01:09] broken. What is more exciting is a big

[01:12] white wolf decides to call the guy

[01:14] master after noticing how powerful he

[01:16] really is. That wolf can turn into a hot

[01:18] anime waifu that everyone will certainly

[01:21] enjoy because that, my friends, is where

[01:24] the real fan service lies.

[01:29] What happens when a happy and joyful

[01:31] loving life turns into a harsh reality

[01:33] when your own parents disown you, kick

[01:36] you out of the village, and leave you

[01:37] out there in the wilderness to survive

[01:39] by picking up trash?

[01:44] [Music]

[01:50] [Music]

[01:55] The weakest tamer began a journey to

[01:57] pick up trash is a beautiful anime both

[02:00] sadness and adventure of a young girl

[02:01] who was born starless, meaning with no

[02:04] future or power. Upon getting tested for

[02:06] her stars, people without them are

[02:09] usually labeled as cursed children and

[02:11] are then kicked out of the village. Now,

[02:13] this poor young girl is left all alone,

[02:15] surviving by picking up trash to sell

[02:17] stuff and earn enough to eat. But all

[02:19] that changes when she meets a cute

[02:21] little slime creature of super rare

[02:24] status that accompanies the girl on her

[02:26] journey to find her rightful place in

[02:28] this world.

[02:42] This here is a very underrated anime of

[02:44] an Itaku elf girl from another world

[02:47] that is summoned to Japan at a shrine

[02:49] and becomes a huge otaku after getting

[02:51] exposed to well obviously its culture.

[02:55] Ataku Elf is a reverse isekai and a

[02:57] comedy that is hilarious to watch with

[02:59] goofiness and entertainment. watch as

[03:01] this elf goes from playing games, eating

[03:03] snacks, collecting toys, and overall

[03:05] being a complete shut in while she lets

[03:07] the the young shrine maid and

[03:09] 16-year-old girl do all the housework

[03:11] and she just uh you know gets lazy.

[03:13] Somehow the elf girl does need to

[03:16] interact with humanity otherwise she

[03:18] will continue living her life as a

[03:20] shut-in miserable otaku.

[03:25] You know, it's pretty much true as they

[03:28] all say because once you go to another

[03:30] world, you can't really go to another

[03:32] because that is forbidden.

[03:36] [Music]

[03:41] [Applause]

[03:42] [Music]

[03:45] >> No longer allowed another world is about

[03:46] a guy named Dazai who is an author that

[03:49] dies with his beloved but is sent to

[03:51] another world without her and is left to

[03:53] suffer on his own. Now he wishes to do

[03:55] nothing but die and attempts to die in

[03:57] multiple ways, but he is unable to

[04:00] because he is not allowed to go into the

[04:02] world after already being in one. He may

[04:05] seem weak with only one hit point to his

[04:08] name, but you know, he is actually

[04:10] immune to poison that can kill anything.

[04:13] Accompanying him is a beautiful elf and

[04:15] a catgirl by his side as they adventure

[04:17] together and have a wild, crazy

[04:20] adventure like nothing before.

[04:37] The current demon king is no longer

[04:39] active as the throne is now open to be

[04:41] claimed. And that is where Ishura comes

[04:43] into place for this list. This is a hot

[04:47] battle royale styled anime across two

[04:49] seasons with characters from different

[04:51] worlds entering one to fight and claim

[04:54] the throne for themselves in an epic

[04:56] action-packed series. These aren't just

[04:59] ordinary characters, but powerful beings

[05:01] with skill and talent, and only one of

[05:03] them will be crowned the brand new demon

[05:05] king.

[05:09] Now, what if your life as a salary man

[05:11] turns around when your boring job

[05:13] becomes much more interesting after

[05:15] getting summoned under the world by the

[05:17] great demon lord to work under him?

[05:27] Headhunted

[05:35] to another world is underrated isekai

[05:36] without much action involved and more

[05:38] about how an average weakling human

[05:40] becomes one of the heavenly kings and

[05:43] works for the demon lord himself with

[05:45] big benefits. Now, if you're wondering

[05:47] why a human was chosen to work there,

[05:50] it's actually because they needed

[05:51] someone smart with a business profile

[05:54] and someone with office skills who will

[05:57] surely be useful, but definitely not

[05:59] during combat.

[06:15] loner life into the world. Except he's

[06:18] not really alone because during most of

[06:20] the entire show, he's almost always with

[06:21] a companion rather than alone. But this

[06:23] anime is about a classroom that was

[06:25] summoned into the world and we're given

[06:26] a selection of classes to pick from in

[06:28] turn. But poor Haruka, the protagonist,

[06:30] was last to pick among bizarre trash

[06:33] looking skills and was given all of them

[06:34] because, you know, they were weak

[06:37] anyway. So, you know, just take them

[06:38] all. Now, to survive this world, Haruka

[06:41] actually needs to bring all of his

[06:43] classmates together, stop them from

[06:44] fighting, and to restore a peaceful

[06:46] relationship, all while being the loner

[06:49] hero he practically is, yet always gets

[06:51] the attention. Oh, and you want to hear

[06:53] the twist?

[06:55] Yeah, he's overpowered with those

[06:57] bizarre skills. I'm not going to lie.

[07:02] Now, many people don't actually know

[07:04] about Rift. In fact, this is a Chinese

[07:06] Dong Hua animation that has flown under

[07:09] many people's radar, but it remains to

[07:11] be a very solid show for you isekai fans

[07:14] out there.

[07:17] [Music]

[07:30] A strange rift or portal to another

[07:32] dimension has opened up that connects

[07:33] both worlds together. And monsters

[07:36] actually use these portals to invade and

[07:38] attack other worlds. Now, certain people

[07:40] are then chosen to protect humanity from

[07:42] those beasts at the rift using special

[07:44] powers and weapons. It's actually fairly

[07:47] simple of a show. Like, this has been

[07:49] done before and we've all seen it.

[07:51] However, the big issue I have is the

[07:53] protagonist of the anime. If you can

[07:56] like him enough, then you will get

[07:58] through this anime without issue.

[08:19] Here we have an average high schooler

[08:21] named Yuan on his way to an anime

[08:23] convention. Suddenly, he finds himself

[08:26] in another world, a fantasy world with

[08:28] magic and beasts and also demons. He

[08:31] fails an entrance exam and decides to

[08:33] become a gardener where he learns about

[08:35] those fairy seeds and now aims to find

[08:37] fairy seeds or fairies scattered across

[08:40] the world as he becomes the new

[08:41] protagonist of this era. Yep, this is a

[08:44] generic Dongwa Chinese anime of an

[08:46] overpowered guy who gets demon powers.

[08:49] Simple as that, and it's straight to the

[08:51] point, but still a very good anime for

[08:53] you all to check out.

[09:13] [Music]

[09:15] And for the last recommendation on the

[09:17] video today, I'd like to include good

[09:19] old Failure Frame. If you need anything

[09:22] that comes remotely close to AITA, then

[09:25] Failure Frame is the go-to to check out,

[09:27] which follows a very identical concept

[09:30] of how a weakling protagonist summoned

[09:32] another world with his class as he was a

[09:34] mere low E rank that got disposed off by

[09:38] the goddess. It turns out his status

[09:40] effect skills proved to be extremely

[09:42] overpowered and survived the horrors of

[09:43] the dungeon by killing every single mob,

[09:46] leveling up, and reaching the surface.

[09:49] Now he plans to kill the goddess for

[09:52] revenge who did him dirty and those

[09:54] classmates who even betrayed him.

[09:57] Well, I guess you could say the sky

[09:59] adventure has now come to a stop as you

[10:00] have reached the end of the video and

[10:02] it's time today for farewell. But if you
