The genre of isekai anime refers to a subgenre in which the protagonist or a group of main characters is physically transported from the real world to a parallel world, a fantasy world, or a different dimension with different rules and mechanisms. The term "isekai" in Japanese literally means "another world" or "different world".
In isekai stories, the protagonist or main character usually finds themselves in a new world with unusual circumstances or powers, and they often have a specific goal that they pursue in this new world. The isekai world is often fundamentally different from the real world.
This is because of the presence of magic, fantastical creatures, or unique social and political rules in these isekai stories. The main character usually has to adapt to their new environment while facing challenges that arise, such as battles with monsters or conflicts with evil forces.
One distinctive feature of the isekai anime genre is the deep exploration of the new fantasy world, which is often filled with rich details and lore. Additionally, many isekai anime stories feature elements of adventure, battles, and sometimes exciting romantic elements.
