Top 18 Isekai Anime To Watch In 2020
Hey everyone and welcome back to this list of the best Isekai Anime Series of 2020 that You Should Really Watch.
Well, In today’s topic we’re going to be looking at so many new isekai anime tv shows that already came out, will come out, or are currently coming out this year.
Now before you see some of these anime and think “this isn’t isekai”, the direct translation of isekai from Japanese means “another world”, and whether it’s transportation to a fantasy world or a videogame world, it technically falls into the isekai genre.
Due to some… unforeseen circumstances this year… some anime studios have decided to delay anime, and there wasn’t many isekai anime coming out this year to begin with
but without further ado!!
Here are The Best and Greatest Isekai Anime of 2020 to Binge-Watch.
18. Darwin’s Game
This 2020 anime has all the characteristics of an isekai, but it is hardly really referred to as one.
Technically it would be seen as a reverse isekai if anything, where instead of the main character going to a fantasy world, other characters come the real world where the main character is in.
The basic plot is that a mobile game based on fighting fantasy opponents, suddenly manifests the opponents in the real world.
Darwin’s Game was released in January and finished airing at the end of March 2020.

17. Isekai Quartet
Although this is not an original isekai tv shows, but it still a crossover anime which has its second season released in January 2020 and goes by the name of Isekai Quartet.
You will love This anime series, simply, because it gathers some of your favorite anime shows like Overlord, ReZero, Konosuba and a lot more that is definitely enjoyable to watch.
And the Happy news is that there is another upcoming season confirmed for 2021.
16. BOFURI: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, so I’ll Max Out My Defense
This anime was also released in January and ended in March of this year and takes place in a videogame world, where the main character ends up being trapped in.
It also happens that this is her first game, and doesn’t want to get hurt, so she invests all her experience points to buff her defense stats.
Her doing this makes her one of the strongest tanks in the game and hence we have the name of the show.
15. Returner’s Magic should be Special
Another manga, which unfortunately has no news of becoming an anime, but fortunately it has been releasing new amazing chapters this year.
The plot follows a magic user who is thrown back 13 years into the past when he expects death to consume him.
He vows to keep everyone he loves safe from a dangerous situation which is yet to come.
14. Infinite Dendrogram
This anime takes place in the future when full-dive virtual reality MMOs are a real thing.
Set in the year 2043, the game named Infinite Dendrogram is a game where there are infinite possibilities to what you can do, from magic to futuristic technology and mech suits.
This anime was on air from January to April and a season 2 confirmed for sometime in April 2021.
13. Ascendance of a Bookworm
Even though season 1 of this isekai anime was released in October of 2019, the second season was released in April of 2020.
We follow the main character who with her dying breath wishes to be able to read more books in her next life, and is reincarnated as a young girl who will read all the books she can get her hands on.
You can tell by this list, how much this person doesn’t care about his work. Manga and manhwa are totally different beings, just like how manga isn’t considered comics and anime’s aren’t considered cartoons. Numbers 15 and 16 are considered manhwa’s and are produced in Korea, they are artistically different and read differently from manga. I mean unless you hate looking for the correct info or are just plain dumb…. like why … such a disgrace.
Some of the them are not released, some of them are not isekai, some of them are not even anime and the this list is published as ‘best isekai anime series of 2020 to watch’. Ugh some of my brain cells died reading this list.
This has got to be the worst list I have ever seen. “Best Isekai Anime” literallyu has manga and multiple non Isekai listed…. Good lord…..
I feel like it’s worth mentioning that BOFURI does not have the characters trapped in their game. They simply don’t want to die in the game i.e. like any other person playing any game. There are plenty of scenes where they’re irl and quite an amusing one where Maple’s reflexes from the game have carried over to the real world making her look silly and clutsy. A good anime I would say and in my top 10 for the year but an isekai I think not.
