From That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime and Overlord to Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- and this spring season’s returning KONOSUBA – God’s blessing on this wonderful world!, the Isekai genre has blossomed over the past decade — but does that extend to media that isn’t anime? Have there been a lot of non-anime Isekai series? Well, it’s time for all of you to decide on a collection of various movies, books, TV series and video games to see if they also fall under the Isekai banner. Make sure to cast your vote by April 6th at 11:59 PM Eastern to ensure your voice is heard!

 

 

What other non-anime series do you think could also be an Isekai? Let me know in the comments!
