2025’s isekai anime lineup is complete, and it ended up offering quantity and splashes of quality. Characters have been traveling to other worlds for decades by this point, and the concept is nowadays a staple of seasonal calendars. Every quarter brings forth a few new isekai series, and 2025 was certainly not an exception or even a disappointment. Yes, not every show was a winner, but the theme has never had a particularly fantastic success rate. Most isekai anime strive to be safe entertainment that offer an escape from reality, and they work well enough as that type of story.
The 10 Best Isekai Anime Of 2025, Ranked
2025 delivered some of the strongest isekai shows yet. Here are the year’s best new adventures across other worlds, ranked.
Now that the year is done, it can be fascinating to look back and gasp at the sheer volume of new shows, all the while contemplating whether any of them will be remembered in a decade. Even though I am a big fan of isekai, I would be hard-pressed to recommend most of the genre’s releases to anybody but the biggest die-hard fans. Still, let’s go through every isekai anime of 2025.
“New” is the operative word, so sequels are not highlighted individually since they do not need to be sold. Also, the focus is on anime series, not movies.
Updated on December 25, 2025, by Mark Sammut: In celebration of Christmas Day, this article has been updated for the final time. It was fun, and now let’s turn our attention to 2026.
Winter 2025
Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four!
Plenty of 2025 isekai anime will feature OP protagonists capable of brute-forcing their way through any and every encounter, so it is always refreshing when an MC comes along that relies on brain rather than brawn. A competent office worker who feels underappreciated, Uchimura is suddenly summoned to another world by a demonic ruler, who comes with quite an unusual offer: Join the crew as one of the Heavenly Kings. So, Uchimura starts a new career path that tasks him with tackling challenges using his expertise in discourse and sales.
Winter 2025 Anime Lineup: Where To Watch Every Series
The Winter 2025 anime season has many huge shows, and they are spread across Crunchyroll, HIDIVE, Netflix, Hulu, and more.
Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four! is decent, with Uchimura having to negotiate a few alliances with the demon army’s neighbors. Admittedly, the anime is not anything more than decent, but that is not the worst thing either.
Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time
Sometimes, a title can be enough to sell a concept; however, the opposite can also be true. Someday Will I Be the Greatest Alchemist, aka Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time, is a bit uninspired. Takumi is accidentally summoned to a new world along with a group of heroes.
As an apology, he is allowed to pick any skill, and he opts for “Creation.” Essentially, this turns him into an alchemist capable of creating anything with few restrictions, instantly making him overpowered. The “possibly” aspect might just be a humblebrag.
Promise of Wizard
An adaptation of a Japan-only video game, Promise of Wizard has two manga under its belt, so the story has some mileage. A woman is chosen as a sage and summoned to another world by a group of wizards, all in the hopes of fighting off a threat known as The Great Calamity.
Best Isekai Manhwa Where The Protagonist Uses Modern Knowledge
After being transported to another world, these characters used modern-day knowledge to help them in their new lives.
Promise of Wizard did not receive too much attention compared to other Winter 2025 isekai anime. However, it is a mostly OK show that has a reverse harem element, despite not really having much romance.
Zenshu
Due to telling an original story, Zenshu was somewhat of a mystery before its debut, so the anime’s isekai direction came as a bit of a surprise. A genius animator and director who enjoyed immediate success with her first series, Natsuko has the entertainment world at her feet; however, while working on her second production, she found herself struggling with writer’s block. With the empty page in front of her and pressure mounting, the protagonist is starting to feel the weight of expectations that follow critical and commercial praise.
Randomly, Natsuko chokes on a piece of food and passes out, reawakening in the world of an anime she watched as a kid. Despite not being well-received by the public, the movie struck a chord with Natsuko, who found its dark story and nihilistic themes fascinating. Now, gifted the opportunity to change things through her power as an animator, the protagonist wants to alter the narrative’s direction.
Natsuko says that, technically, her situation is not isekai during Zenshu‘s first episode; however, it is close enough to qualify.
I’m a Noble on the Brink of Ruin, So I Might as Well Try Mastering Magic
I’m a Noble on the Brink of Ruin, So I Might as Well Try Mastering Magic started life as a 2019 novel, before eventually receiving a light novel and manga. Therefore, Nazuna Miki’s story has experienced a degree of success in a few mediums, and there is nothing to suggest the anime will be a complete failure.
Revolving around an overpowered protagonist who, as the title suggests, finds himself in the body of a noble child, this story is fairly run-of-the-mill for the genre. That does not mean it has nothing to offer, but it is very much a power fantasy with some questionable harem elements.
Magic Maker: How to Create Magic in Another World
The typical isekai formula is to send a normal guy (or rarely a woman) to a fantasy world and make them instantly proficient in magic. Magic Maker takes a different approach by revolving around an MC who discovers and develops magic, with help from his sister. The story is relatively slow, chronicling the protagonist’s efforts to advance the field. While this gives him a considerable edge over most people, he is not necessarily OP since he exists in a world with dangerous monsters that are not pushovers.
Studio Deen needs no lengthy introduction. Focusing solely on isekai, the company is responsible for KonoSuba, which is an all-time great. As with any studio that has been around for more than four decades, Deen’s portfolio is a bit of a mixed bag, but the highs are among the industry’s greatest achievements. Magic Maker will not go down as one of the studio’s greatest shows, but it is mostly fine.
The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World
Featuring a protagonist with a core ability similar to Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill‘s MC, The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World follows Kenichi, a guy who reawakens in a new world with the useful ability to shop online. Unlike Campfire Cooking, this 2025 isekai anime is a harem, with the protagonist quickly finding himself surrounded by a plethora of girls who fit different archetypes and races.
While nothing too special, The Daily Life of a Middle-Aged Online Shopper in Another World works well as entertaining fluff that can keep a viewer distracted for 20 minutes a week. Kenichi is a competent protagonist who does not fall apart whenever a woman looks in his general direction.

From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad’s Been Reincarnated! is Winter 2025’s funniest isekai anime. The concept is pure gold, serving as a charming and hilarious parody of the villainess subgenre that has exploded in popularity over the last few years.
A middle-aged parent dies and is reborn as an otome game’s villainess, a situation that naturally catches him by surprise. Wanting to allow the heroes to lead happy lives, he decides to follow the game’s story; however, he is just not cut out to be a baddie. Therefore, he just ends up becoming everybody’s dad, even if they do not realize it. From Bureaucrat to Villainess has also introduced a fun twist by incorporating characters from the protagonist’s previous life.
Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf!
Both an isekai and reverse isekai, Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf!‘s mechanic for world-hopping is among the genre’s most inspired. Kazuhiro visits a fantasy world while dreaming, and he can bring somebody back with him by holding them when he dies or sleeps in that realm. This leads to him introducing Marie, an elf, to the beauty of Japan, which means a lot of sightseeing, food-eating, and slice of life wholesomeness.
24 Best Reverse Isekai Anime Of All Time, Ranked
Many anime involve humans going to fantasy worlds, but these shows do the opposite. Here are the best reverse isekai anime ever.
Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf! is cute and relaxing, while also highlighting Japanese culture. Episodes are split into sections set within Earth and the fantasy world, and they are both enjoyable in their own right. That said, the former is the best part of the series, just because Marie’s world is quite traditional by the isekai genre’s standards.
The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World
One of the more entertaining new isekai anime of Winter 2025, Koyoshi Nakayoshi’s shonen manga is well-liked, serving as a delightful action-packed comedy that pokes fun at both sentai and isekai tropes. As made obvious by the title, the story follows the red ranger (Tougo Asagaki) as he finds himself in another world.
Best Sentai Anime Ranked
When a group of powerful comrades bands together to fight evil, a great Sentai anime is born.
The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World feels a touch different from other OP stories due to featuring a protagonist who was already strong before they made the jump to another world. Beyond that, Tougo is far from undefeatable, especially in situations where he cannot summon a mecha. Although not devoid of action, the anime is primarily a comedy that focuses on an ensemble cast.
Spring 2025
Twins Hinahima
Surprisingly, 2025 contains quite a few original new isekai anime. Usually, the genre focuses exclusively on adapting established light novels and manga, hoping to use their pre-installed fanbases to attract some attention. Zenshu was Winter 2025’s isekai original, and Twins Hinahima somewhat tries to fill that role. Produced by a new studio and featuring CG animation, Twins Hinahima is just a one-episode special, so it is not really a Spring 2025 anime despite airing just before the season’s debut.
The Beginning After the End
The most highly anticipated new 2025 isekai anime, The Beginning After the End might also end up being the most disappointing. Unfortunately, Studio A-Cat’s adaptation has fallen well short of expectations, especially in terms of animation. TurtleMe’s web novel series is rightfully regarded as one of the best isekai stories of that medium, and it has even been adapted into a great webtoon. Those are two awesome ways to experience this narrative, but the anime is not shaping up to be a worthwhile alternative.
4 Things The Beginning After The End Anime Might Do Differently To The Manhwa
The Beginning After The End’s anime is set to be released in 2025. Here are four things it may do differently from the Manhwa.
A ruthless king dies alone, only to be reborn in a fantasy world with magic. More importantly, he is born into a loving family, something he never experienced in his past life. As he spends more time in his new life, Arthur’s mentality gradually morphs, and he learns to appreciate the simpler things. Story-wise, The Beginning After the End anime is not a patch on the source material, although Arthur is still a fascinating protagonist. The lackluster animation and fast pacing are far bigger issues.
I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!
Spring 2025 has a relatively small selection of new isekai anime, at least compared to Winter; more importantly, none of them are particularly great. While still too early to definitively say which will be the best show, I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire has had the strongest start so far, although it is arguably the most niche out of all the season’s offerings. Isekai is already not for everyone, and this anime also throws in a harem and mechs, two equally polarizing genres.
Liam’s past life was tough and ended horribly, so he is offered an opportunity by a “kind” stranger to reincarnate in a universe of his choice. Liam picks a space opera and decides to be as evil as possible so he will never be taken advantage of again; however, his future will not be just sunshine and rainbows.
I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire is all over the place, with the story jumping forward years at the drop of a hat. While hardly unfollowable, the anime moves at such a blistering pace that it can be exhausting at times.
Yandere Dark Elf: She Chased Me All the Way From Another World!
From the same studio that adapted Plus-Sized Elf, Yandere Dark Elf is another fanservice-driven reverse isekai anime that happens to feature perhaps the most popular fantasy species of all time (and especially in recent anime media). As suggested by the title, this series focuses on a yandere dark elf who follows the male protagonist to Earth, and she tends to react poorly to competition. That said, Yandere Dark Elf is an ecchi comedy, so Mariabelle’s violent tendencies are played for laughs and, for the most part, are short-lived.
Yandere Dark Elf is airing exclusively on HIDIVE, and this version of the show has gotten criticism for censoring a lot of scenes. As an ecchi story, the anime mostly lives and dies on the quality of its fanservice, so it is kind of a baffling move to cover so much of this content.
Teogonia
Teogonia
- Release Date
-
2025 – 2025-00-00
- Network
-
Tokyo MX, Sun TV, BS11, ABEMA
A bit of a surprising isekai, Teogonia does not promote this aspect of the story as intensely as other shows, at least not initially. Rather than showcase the protagonist’s reincarnation experience, Kai instead has memories of another world that is vastly different from his own, and he is not quite sure what to make of them.
The Absolute Best Isekai Anime With Multiple Seasons, Ranked
These isekai anime more than earned their sequels, and they prove that some shows need to have multiple seasons.
While nothing too special in terms of overall quality, the anime is generally fine.
Kai is a fairly traditional fantasy lead so far, but his isekai memories are the most interesting part of his characterization. His personality also doesn’t change just because of these memories, which is quite unusual for an isekai reincarnation anime.
Shirohiyo – Reincarnated as a Neglected Noble: Raising My Baby Brother With Memories From My Past Life
Mostly flying under the radar, Shirohiyo seems destined to come and go without leaving much of an impression or leaving any sort of impact, and it is not difficult to understand why. While hardly terrible, this series lacks that definite hook that not only captures someone’s attention but also holds it for more than just a couple of minutes. A reincarnation story, Ageha is a young noble who is ignored by his parents and mostly raised by servants, whom he treats terribly. However, when he regains memories of a past life as a Japanese salaryman who died from exhaustion, he instantly changes his tune and becomes a, well, good boy.
Shirohiyo somewhat sets itself apart by featuring a childcare element, as Ageha has to take care of his younger brother, Regulus. The latter does not have that much of a presence in the first two episodes, but he does appear more frequently after that point.
Summer 2025
Onmyou Kaiten Re:Birth
Another original 2025 isekai anime, Onmyou Kaiten Re:Birth did not quite manage to replicate Zenshu‘s immediate success, but it has been decent enough. Living by the code of his gang, Takeru is a hotheaded guy who is enamored with a girl he sees in his dreams. One day, he falls from a great height and, somehow, ends up in another world that blends sci-fi and Japanese history. Also, Tsukimiya, the girl of his dreams, happens to exist within this world. Before long, he gets involved in big fights against Kaiju-esque enemies and even gets to pilot nature-themed mecha. Also, he gets stuck in a time-loop.
Onmyo Kaiten Re:Birth Verse does kind of feel like a blend of different isekai anime, but its peculiar setting and unique mecha designs just about do enough to set it apart from the crowd. Takeru is a bit too much of a battle shonen MC stereotype so far, but that type of character can be enjoyable in certain situations. Despite starting out fairly rough and underwhelming, the story has picked up a bit of steam recently, largely thanks to a few solid reveals and a proper introduction of a villain.
The Water Magician
The Water Magician is a light novel series that spawned a manga in 2021, which is still going on today. The anime debuted in July 2025, bringing forth another story that features a relatively overpowered protagonist. There is nothing wrong with that, but this anime’s mileage will vary considerably from viewer to viewer.
Ryou gets a second go at life, and he not only picks up water magic but also has a trait that lets him remain endlessly young. The Water Magician has Ryou spend a bit of time on his own at first, and he does come across as a bit socially awkward at times. The story also does something entirely unexpected: Ryou’s first friend and companion is a guy! Yes, he doesn’t instantly summon a harem.
The Water Magician is a weird anime, as it is about as basic and run-of-the-mill as they get. However, it is also pretty good and one of the more entertaining isekai anime of the season. While not necessarily doing anything amazing, the series is well-rounded and without any major flaws. Ryou is nonchalant and goes out of his way to avoid getting into messes, especially if they distract from his research. The Water Magician also dedicates a fair amount of time to other characters, like Abel, Lyn, and Sera, and allows them to exist away from Ryou’s orbit.
Lord of Mysteries
OK, Lord of Mysteries is a special case due to being a Donghua rather than a Japanese anime; therefore, technically, it is not part of the Summer 2025 season. Still, isekai fans will want to keep an eye on this show since the webnovel is quite highly regarded, and the adaptation has been brilliant so far. For one, Lord of Mysteries is set in a world inspired by the Victorian era, giving everything a steampunk and Gothic aesthetic that is highly unusual for isekai.
While the first episode includes so much information that I found it difficult to follow everything, Lord of Mysteries succeeds in building intrigue, and the subsequent chapters have been easier to comprehend. The animation is genuinely gorgeous, comfortably among the best of 2025. As long as you do not mind a different art style and a story that can be a bit overwhelming at times, Lord of Mysteries is Summer 2025’s best isekai anime, and by quite a margin.
Where To Watch The Summer 2025 Anime Lineup (Crunchyroll, HULU, Netflix, & More)
My Dress-Up Darling, Dandadan, Kaiju No, 8, and Sakamoto Days are part of the Summer 2025 anime lineup, and here is where you can stream them.
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra
While not plentiful, a few 2025 isekai anime revolve around somewhat of an “evil” protagonist, or at least characters who are thrust into that role. Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra could be one of the better examples of this trope, and the male MC finds himself taking over an evil civilization (the eponymous Mynoghra).
To keep expectations realistic, Takuto Ira is by no means an evil person, nor does he attempt to play the part of a villain. At most, outsiders see him as one. Do not go in expecting Overlord.
The most interesting part of Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra is Takuto’s background in strategy games, and he awakens in a world based on a title he used to love. Rather than RPG mechanics, this isekai anime highlights strategy elements, which is a nice change of pace that helps set the story apart from its many, many peers. Takuto has to slowly build up Mynoghra from essentially nothing, as he starts with one hero unit and very little else to his name. His expertise in strategy games comes through fairly clearly, and the anime explores other elements of the world well.
Overall, Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra is decent and well worth a try just because of its novel situation. That said, it moves at a glacial pace, and Takuto is not the most charismatic protagonist ever.
Uglymug, Epicfighter
Probably the most polarizing isekai anime of Summer 2025, Uglymug, Epicfighter seems to get a strong reaction from people, both positive and negative. In an unheard-of move, the series lives up to its title and genuinely features a male protagonist who could be described as “ugly.” This is not one of those cases where the MC receives a physical blow-up after an episode or two, and Shigeru’s looks remain consistent. Personally, I find the show’s commitment to this aspect refreshing.
So, what is the story? Well, Shigeru’s life was destroyed after he was falsely accused of a crime. At his wits’ end, he accepts an invitation to go to another world, and he removes all his beauty points so he can boost his stats in other areas. So, he wakes up in a fantasy world with godly power but also a few notable shortcomings (beyond just his looks). Also, he joins a party with three characters who are also from Earth.
The last bit sets Uglymug, Epicfighter apart from the crowd, as the anime almost feels like an ensemble piece. Yes, Shigeru is clearly the protagonist, but Seika, Seiji, and Rizu are given a lot of attention and are explored almost as thoroughly as the MC.
6 Isekai Manga With Stunningly Beautiful Art
Some of the most talented Artists work in Isekai Manga, and this list showcases several series with stunning art.
Bâan: The Boundary of Adulthood
- Japanese Title: Bâan: Otona no Kyoukai
- Studio: Studio Daisy
- Release Date: August 24, 2025
- Where to watch: YouTube
Something a bit different from usual, as we primarily focus only on TV series, but this short deserves a special mention since it offers a unique take on the isekai formula, helmed by the king of trask isekai, Gigguk. For under 20 minutes, Baan gets a lot done, as it follows two exchange students who start on new parts of life that take them far away from their homes. Due to its short length, we only get snippets of their lives before and after, but we get a strong sense of the attachments they are living behind and the ones that they form.
Fall 2025
A Gatherer’s Adventure in Isekai
Another in a long line of slow-life anime, A Gatherer’s Adventure in Isekai could test somebody’s patience for overused tropes and run-of-the-mill MCs, at least going by the manga version of this story. While incredibly OP, the protagonist is primarily content with keeping a low profile, completing quests, and making a humble living. Sure, he can defeat most enemies without breaking a sweat, but that life is not for everyone.
A Gatherer’s Adventure in Isekai will likely be one of those 2025 isekai anime that works well as a weekly distraction, offering a low-stakes escape from reality. It might not be remembered for long after the final episode becomes part of history, but not every show needs to be a masterpiece.
A Wild Last Boss Appeared!
Fans of OP isekai anime protagonists have been eating well throughout 2025, and A Wild Last Boss Appeared is a particularly tasty feast. With a premise that is similar to Overlord, the story revolves around a man who awakens in the body of an OP villainous gaming character, only with the world being centuries ahead of his timeline. Lufas (the protagonist) is way, way more powerful than pretty much everyone else in this world, and she is backed by a plethora of strong characters.
10 Best Isekai Anime With OP MC Reincarnated As A Child, Ranked
In these isekai stories, the main character is reincarnated as a child — and is usually overpowered in the new world where they find themselves.
While the concept might sound by the numbers, A Wild Last Boss Appeared is a well-above-average power fantasy, one that has enjoyed relative success in multiple media. The adaptation is being handled by WAO World, a veteran studio that does not produce new series all that often. The animation has been pretty good, and the show is just entertaining.
Dad is a Hero, Mom is a Spirit, I’m a Reincarnator
Here is a pretty interesting isekai anime, although it is one of those shows that has flown under the radar. Dad is a Hero, Mom is a Spirit, I’m a Reincarnator follows a former scientist who starts a new life as the daughter of a hero and a spirit, giving her the unique powers that allow her to manipulate an object’s elements. The premise is fine enough, but the story’s main selling point is its core family, as all three characters are main players rather than just the daughter.
Although enjoyable enough as fluff, Dad is a Hero, Mom is a Spirit, I’m a Reincarnator has been quite forgettable so far, with most episodes not having all that much in the way of tension or excitement. The anime dives into its world’s politics to an extent, but it is not that riveting. Honestly, not enough time is spent exploring the family’s dynamic, as it tends to take a backseat in most episodes.
The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess
Fall 2025 has its villainess isekai anime, but this one comes with a clever twist. The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess‘ protagonist, Konoha, becomes the villainess of one of her own stories that she wrote when she was a teenager. As such, she is intimately familiar with the narrative, and she uses that knowledge to avoid a gruesome death. However, things start to happen that go against the manuscript.
The anime is decent, if nothing special. The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess plays around with conventions to an extent, as Konoha’s villainess actually dies in the story’s prologue; consequently, she is a minor player who has to protect herself and also her sister. After that, the MC quickly becomes a standard isekai villainess protagonist who is not really evil in any shape or form. There is nothing really wrong with that, but it does make Konoha feel like a rethread.
Disney: Twisted-Wonderland The Animation – Episode of Heartslabyul
Disney: Twisted-Wonderland The Animation – Episode of Heartslabyul marks the proper anime debut for this particular series, which started as a 2020 mobile game. Twisted-Wonderland is already quite a well-known property, which is hardly surprising since it combines a few very popular concepts: Disney villains, isekai, magic schools, and Black Butler. Yes, the franchise was put together by Yana Toboso, although the author did not personally write the Episode of Heartslabyul manga that this anime will adapt.
The story follows Yuu, a high school student who finds himself in another world and stuck at Night Raven College, which has students and dormitories based on classic antagonists from Disney stories.
The Fated Magical Princess: Who Made Me a Princess
The Fated Magical Princess: Who Made Me a Princess
- Release Date
-
September 28, 2025
Now, here is a slightly different type of isekai anime. Based on a manhwa, The Fated Magical Princess: Who Made Me a Princess is being developed by a Chinese animated studio, so an argument could be made that it is not a conventional anime. However, the series is streaming on Crunchyroll and has even received a Japanese dub, so it counts. More importantly, The Fated Magical Princess is the best isekai anime of Fall 2025, and by quite a margin. The visuals are consistently jaw-dropping and beautiful, while the story takes familiar tropes and spins them just enough to keep them fresh.
A woman finds herself living the life of Athanasia, a novel’s princess who is treated unfairly by her Emperor father and meets a gruesome end. Aware of her future, the protagonist tries to build a rapport with her dad, with the story following her efforts throughout the years. While not an especially original concept, The Fated Magical Princess is elevated by its characters and presentation.
My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s
A fairly polarizing light novel and manga, My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s shines due to its focus on an underrepresented class/archetype: assassin. For the most part, isekai anime tend to play things safe and cast their protagonists as knights or mages, both of which can be fun. However, a “darker” class that excels by working in the shadows and prioritizing stealth should make for a great change of pace from the norm.
8 Isekai Manga That Will Likely Not Be Completed
Isekai is a manga genre that many readers enjoy, but some stories out there didn’t receive enough recognition and may never be completed.
Whether My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s succeeds in offering a novel experience will vary from person to person, but it is one of the genre’s more interesting Fall 2025 series. Sunrise’s anime delivers some fun action set pieces, along with a strong sense of atmosphere and a protagonist who uses his brain just as much as his brawn. A few of the other students are also allowed to be actual characters, rather than just generic baddies that need to be embarrassed.
That said, the story gradually turns into a conventional power fantasy, losing some of its early intrigue. I still enjoyed it as I love OP MC isekai anime, but your mileage will depend on your tolerance for trashy shows.
Potions Will Save Me
Potions Will Save Me might conjure up memories of I Shall Survive Using Potions, a 2023 isekai anime that has a similar premise. Both stories revolve around girls who suddenly find themselves in another world with the ability to create potions out of pretty much nothing. While they don’t have other notable powers, their potion-making ability is extremely powerful and should help them survive in their new worlds.
Although watchable, Potions Will Save Me is comfortably one of the most forgettable isekai anime of 2025. The animation and story are just passable, and the charcters do not have a lot of depth to them.
2025 Isekai Anime Sequels
As exciting as new shows are, sequels almost always attract more attention, especially when it comes to isekai. The theme rarely produces something that justifies repeat visits, so the exceptions are always worth noting.

The Greatest Isekai Anime Of All Time
From classics to modern standouts, these are the best isekai anime of all time—ranked by impact, staying power, and relevance in 2025.
