END OF 2024 BEST ISEKAI/REINCARNATION (RANKED) CHINA/JAPAN to BINGE 1f5l1n
Anime
I have amassed a repertoire of super binge-able shows which cannot be called "TRASH".
There may be some gems not on this list.
Yes the Main characters are probably overpowered but these do it the best,
This is the very pinnacle of the genre. Peak immersion.
Ranked from Best to worst.
I summarize the series, so bad seasons will tank the series.
JUST INCLUDING PIONEERING SEASON, BUT IT REPRESENTS ALL OF THE AVAILABLE SEASONS.
BUT WHERE? IS 2024 ones? WHY AREN'T THERE ALOT FROM 2024? This year had many recurring ones and the new ones were awful.
Not here? I haven't watched it or it's truly isekai trash.

After watching till season 2.
This show is the best isekai i've ever seen.
Only isekai i can sit through episodes of pure dialogue and meetings and only realize it after I finished the season. Very captivating writing, and wise use of fantasy elements so that nothing is boring with very tactful world building.
It's up to you whether you will invest your brainpower but it got me totally immersed and I automatically recommend this show to anyone.
The movies and OVAs are decent enough to satiate your apetite in-between seasons.
After watching S3 it still continues to be top my ranknings. Dialogue is it's strong suit and pretty much this show cannot be watched weekly, you must binge it.

Incredible potential, surprisingly different story path from your generic isekai, you will start and you can't stop.
Animation is for the most part strong.
All seasons are great, some might not like the adaptation, some of them were a bit rushed, slightly improvised but they capture a lot of the brilliance from the light novels.
All of the seasons deserve to be here, so just binge all 50 episodes. This show should have been done in 24 episode batches instead of 12.
The recent "Sacred Kingdom" movie i contemplated giving it a 10/10 but it was just too short as they skipped through too much.
I've Rewatched this series twice now it's really that fun.

Many of the simple among us won't make it through the first 3 episodes.
This is the kind of hidden gem that I crave for in this space. Looks somewhat generic and uninteresting initially but once you delve into its world and it's top tier story telling and writing, you will see how underrated it is.
I prefer slower stories like this.
A must binge for me.

Some of the Arcs are a bit meh. But overall it's an extremely memorable experience. It has a certain confidence to it's style that truly immerses you and captivates the audience.
Soundtrack is Top Tier, Animation is great.
Every Isekai should do at least 20 episodes per season, any shorter and it just gets butchered.

Very solid series, very funny, had alot of troubles during production delaying it. Thankfully, it all came together to make one of the best isekai i've ever watched.
I'm fond of the artsyle it uses colors very intelligently.

Super Fun, incredibly consistent and a slow pace story which really immerses you into the experience with clean animation.
Put this off for a while then actually watched it and it was a 1 night blast.
Love food? Love comedy that blends well with the story? Love Isekai shenanigans?
Don't skip this it's brilliant.

Basically everyone loves this show, and they're not wrong. Huge potential, incredible animation, nice soundtrack and a world that just begs you to explore more of it.
However it has tanked since S1 with a very troublesome setting in S2.
It has regained my faith with some very impressive story telling in the last cour of the second season. If you can survive the dips in the middle it's a very good series.

C2C made a mess of the first season.
JC. Staff came in like our reliable big brother and dropped 24 ultra bingeable episodes I got through in 2 sittings (I had work in between).
Worth watching if you can reach the 2nd season, you won't be disappointed.
MC is quite the welcome unorthodox surprise.

This series, at some parts, hits like some of the Top tier thrillers like Deathnote and Erased.
The first time you watch it, you'll think this series has the potential to top the charts, however it doesn't continue to be as captivating.
The soundtrack is perfect, the animation is very intelligently used.

It's a tale of 2 halves. One half is just brilliant super bingeable isekai shenanigans and the other half is more generic and uninteresting. It's more than worth watching for it's good half.
I sat through the entire 24 episodes in a single sitting.

For those who have patience enjoy learning things and have great understanding.
This show is for you, they really take time to flesh out the story and take every step little by little to help you understand the true grit of a hero's journey.
Very enjoyable experience for me, i finished it in a single sitting so it's very bingeable.
But if you're one of the weaker ones amongst us, it may not be your cup of tea.

Tells a good story in a slow and measured way allowing you to take in the small details and enjoy the moments when they arrive.
Decent enough production despite being lower budget.

People will complain about the animation, people will complain about the harem but it probably executes it's premise better than anything that has come after it.
It just hits many of the fantasy points that interested me and has very likable and consistent characters.
I've watched up to season 3. So far it's still one of the best isekai i've watched. It will continue to be a reference point for many of the newer isekai.
I will say that after getting to season 3 the flaws of the anime direction become too great to keep reccomending it as the definite medium. It's best you us in the world of the Light Novels to get this experience at it's peak.

Yes it's chinese, yes it's 3D, yes it's different. Don't let this stop you, the CGI is very watchable and becomes much more fluid as the show goes on.
Trust me, this is truly a capitvating series and it's very interesting to see the difference in Japanese and Chinese works.
The character design is great and just gets better.
You'll find that the greatest argument against Chinese shows is that the character names are so hard to . Some series like these just sur most isekai from Japan easily.
The gags are funny, the scaling is great.
Got some time? Just Binge it.
would have probably topped this list if the ending wasn't so rushed. But it's still worth it for the adventure.

Starts with the sword, but you learn to love the girl aswell, focuses on the important thing you came for, the action, the isekai and the progression and world-building. The character interaction is top tier.
It's one of Studio C2Cs best works so the animation is very tactful which was a welcome suprise for me.

Was a very enjoyable first season for me. It's very predictable but it doesn't matter as it's so entertaining and the artstyle is very endearing.
In my opinion you probably just end after the first season, like i have. It feels like a 1 season experience. The way it ends, there's nothing really for MC to do but chase around more girls and do stuff for them, which is just boring uninteresting slop.

Will recommend this show for a quick but interesting binge.
You will have to dive into the source for more.

I absolutely abhor female MCs, i absolutely detest Mary Sue.
But here is a show where it's a female mc being an actual woman, the kind of woman that reminds you of the good parts about your mother or sister. Cute, unintentionally funny with their clumsiness and absentmindedness whilst having a genuine will to help others. No girlboss, know all, do all bullshit the weakness of a women and the need for others is on display here. The power of a woman is creating a bridge between people.
I loved it to be honest, and i think you will too if you give it the chance to blossom.

A must watch for enthusiasts.

Animation isn't that great here though so, i'd only recommend for the patient and more mature ones amongst us.

On it's own doesn't deserve to be here. But if you read the manga first then watch it, it superimposes on the enjoyment of this series on the parts it's most famous for.
It treats the more depraved areas like a princess, but the isekai, action and dungeon exploration like a streetwalker.
But with Studio ione, we all know what their going to put their "ion" into.

Watch after you've watched all the others.
Or don't watch it all.
The best thing i can say as it probably has one of the best opening 48 minute first episodes in anime history up there obviously eclipising the overrated ONK opening. But it's just all downhill after that, it never gets any where near as good. The limitations of the writing are laid bare in the lastest installlments.

Another thing that irks me is the Art style, which reminds me of some the numerous otome game series where almost all the characters are strikingly attractive, which just ruins the visual potential for me.
