what is isekai anime

Isekai anime is a genre of anime that revolves around a character being transported to an unfamiliar world and having to learn how to survive. The term "isekai" means "otherworld" and covers a genre of fiction that involves a character being put into an unfamiliar world and having to learn how to survive. This genre includes novels, light novels, films, manga, anime, and video games that revolve around a displaced person or people who are transported to and have to survive in another world, such as a fantasy world, virtual world, or parallel universe. Isekai anime can be paired with a number of other anime genres, including comedy, drama, action, and even romance. The isekai genre has been around for a long time in anime and manga, but it gained popularity in recent years with the release of Sword Art Online in 2012.
