It’s so bizarre that despite me being a card carrying weeb, the only times I’ve seen Isekai done sort of well is in western animation: The Owl House and Futurama (for anyone looking for a more sci-fi flavor of the genre) come to mind.

There are some Ghibli films, but I’m talking more about animated series here.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is an isekai classic.

Now I want to make an alignment chart about Isekai.

There’s a scale between media purist and premise purist.

So something like I reincarnated as a slime can be Isekai, or the fresh prince of bel-air is isekai.
