09:15[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
