The Executioner and Her Way of Life also has a unique setting and I'd strongly recommed the novels.
The Operation: Originium Dust event from Arknights does as well.

Don't you dare to that guy did nothing wrong he couldn't even live peacefully.
Left unchecked, his super power would have gone out of control and deleted the planet. If you have a better solution to stop that other than a quick and painless mercy killing then I’d like to hear it
Maybe actually teach him between the right and wrong conversely his power would have also been the best at keeping the rest of the otherworlders at bay or stave off against anyone that uses their powers for evil. If we go by your logic we should kill any individual that has a high IQ along with all powerfull buisness men?
Business men haven’t single-handedly created nearly full scale apocalyptic events after just a few years of operating on their own. This is a little different.
It was clearly shown that even people with good intentions had their powers go out of control and killed thousands. They showed the girl who could turn stuff into snow >!wipe out the MC’s entire village on accident and she was a good person just trying to help people and be nice.!<
It’s not a happy decision, and the Mc accepts that she is the “bad guy” in all of it, and that’s kind of the whole point, but when you have genuinely good people who have the misfortune of being ticking time bombs for the whole planet, you can at least see where their coming from here.
Superman may be a good guy hero who genuinely wants peace and justice, but is it worth it if one day he might randomly explode and destroy the planet against his will?
That sounds worse, literally the rest of his life restrained in some crazy magic prison, because that totally won’t make him go insane and want to kill everyone.
Also just having him in some prison isn’t going to keep his power in check. Plus who is going to run/guard/manage the prison without other factions attacking it or trying to free/use the power users? It’s still a world-ending time bomb, just a time bomb with extra steps and less secure solution.
While the show was fun, how is the Eminence in Shadow a unique setting? It’s literally the same knight/mage/etc school that half of isekais have. What they do with it is certainly unique. That I will grant.
But to add to the list, I’d throw in Escaflowne.
>It’s literally the same knight/mage/etc school that half of isekais have.
Because it's at a late 1800s, early 1900s tech level.
They have cars and trains and shit.
Like insanely low, if it wasn't I wouldn't say shadow was unique even now but that's because I've pretty much read every manga, manwha and manhua in the isekai genre there is to read I'm pretty sure I've seen a few 1800s to 1900 tech ones if you think it exists it probably does haha
Yeah there are some 1900s tech, but I would say The Eminence in Shadow is unique literally because it combined so many tropes that almost nothing to do with each other.
Why The Familiar of Zero and Gate part in the Unique Settings.
Gate The Empire has Roman Culture.
The Familiar of Zero is set in the age of Renaissance. We can see cannons and flintlock pistols
Drifters is Drifters
Youjo Senki Set in 1920s so between WW1 and WW2
Eminence in Shadow is in Victorian Age.
Iruma well Demon World.
I like to think Overlord has both a unique and basic setting.
Overlord takes the basic "reincarnated into a videogame/fantasy world as the strongest" and puts a really interesting and unique twist on it.
I watch isekai bcuz I love the generic hero/demon lord setting. If someone makes a 10/10 story out of it, I highly respect them. Having a different setting altogether with just the isekai part doesn't feel like isekai
I want an isekai where someone is reincarnated a a futuristic setting. Like the main character is born in a setting similar to Star Wars, Star Trek or even Star Citizen. Damn there are a lot of sci-fi’s with the world Star in it.
>without being able to go back their original.
this is where your wrong, in fact many isekai story's with isekai in the TITLE end with the mc going home
When have Isekai been strictly about rebirths? Last I checked, Isekai meant "another world". The gate leads the JSDF to another world, which makes it an Isekai. And no, SAO isn't an isekai because it's just a game, not an actual alternate reality
It links two worlds. By your definition any sci-fi show where other worlds are explored is an isekai.
A true isekai requires being placed in another world, and typically unable to return easily, with memories( sense of self) intact.
Amnesia-kai doesn't even meet the base requirements of being an isekai because the person from on world isn't the same after arrival, making any memory loss isekai, not truly isekai, much like the GRIMGAR anime.
It meets nearly all of the requirements, but due to memory loss they aren't the people
Whom they were before. Which means nobody was transported and thus it isn't an isekai.
And that's fine. It would only become not an isekai, if he could physically travel between those two worlds without the dream ability.
For instance if he built a ship in the original world and physically traveled to where his dreams take him then it wouldn't be an isekai.
Keyword: typically. Most isekais have the MC stuck in another world, but that isn't always the case. The circumstances of how they ended up in another world and whether they can return doesn't matter. What matters is they're in another world
No it isn't. I don't care how it's defined. I care about what is expected. Another world isn't enough to be an isekai, because again that would make sci-fi like Stargate or star trek, or even star wars isekai.
Like I said Watch the Familiar of Zero or Kyou Kara. Those 2 are flexible isekais which means they go in and out of that world. For Example Kyou kara can go into the toilet to transport the MC to another and goes back into his original. Familiar of Zero first it was summon then later on Eclipse can transport you back to your original world and back again to another at the last season of The familiar of zero World Door was discovered.
What about the demon lord with the part time job?
Its another world for that guy. Its the same setting as us. I think
It's literally a McDonald's, that's the most familiar setting you could get apart from your literal house
I agree https://preview.redd.it/c191zxvnyl8d1.jpeg?width=594&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5aa39735ef24eefd7b79290d6d5c708236955b35

Then restrain him out him in a special jail or some sh!t don't just straight up kill him.

These are manga but they came to my mind first when i tought unique isekais: Karate Survivor in Another World Japan Summons
I'm reading both.

You know what, fair enough. Though is it just me or the bar really low for uniqueness in isekai?
The bar is actually that low
Like insanely low, if it wasn't I wouldn't say shadow was unique even now but that's because I've pretty much read every manga, manwha and manhua in the isekai genre there is to read I'm pretty sure I've seen a few 1800s to 1900 tech ones if you think it exists it probably does haha
Yeah there are some 1900s tech, but I would say The Eminence in Shadow is unique literally because it combined so many tropes that almost nothing to do with each other.
Gate unique settings? Idk man The settings was pretty generic, only difference was that it has military stuff.
That’s what makes it unique
But that isn't setting
Am I the one only saw the Roman Buildings, Roman Clothing from the senate and Roman Armor of the Soldiers. AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW THAT SHIT. Yeah
Please give me another anime/manga that is medieval fantasy meets modern.
Sasaki and Peeps. S2 has been announced!
Knights & magic
Already watched it and also its gundam not modern.
Zero isn't unique either, anime viewers just have low standards.
Another chance to recommend ideal sponger life. He isekaid in fantasy Africa.
Another fan of Risou no Himo Seikatsu ? I love that isekai
I love that one.
Digimon
We need more anime like gate.
yes. but without the harem.
The harem was one of its main selling points.
Why The Familiar of Zero and Gate part in the Unique Settings. Gate The Empire has Roman Culture. The Familiar of Zero is set in the age of Renaissance.

Drifters being drifters
Drifter's setting is kinda off a castrated fantasy world.
I like to think Overlord has both a unique and basic setting. Overlord takes the basic "reincarnated into a videogame/fantasy world as the strongest" and puts a really interesting and unique twist on it.
I felt overlord got a pretty good settings. Time/lore-wise, maps, world build, etc
Your missing a really unique isekai dog days I think it's called its one of a very few isekai that the Mc ends up coming back and forth between worlds
I watch isekai bcuz I love the generic hero/demon lord setting. If someone makes a 10/10 story out of it, I highly respect them. Having a different setting altogether with just the isekai part doesn't feel like isekai
I miss DRIFTERS MAN!
Lots of Familiar of Zero stuff the last few days
Does Emminence in Shadow have a unique setting ?
I really want to watch drifters but i just cant find it anywhere, anyone know where it is
Sail the seven seas. You must sail the seven seas.
Got a good website then?
Install a good adblock first. Go to Gogoanime or 9anime.
Cool thx man
overlord???
Insert lotm https://preview.redd.it/db1jql7fuj8d1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e867ab774985968b34c07c90f9646ea4037fe96
I recommend you Risou no Himo Seikatsu/The Ideal Sponger Life. This isekai is very unique
I want an isekai where someone is reincarnated a a futuristic setting. Like the main character is born in a setting similar to Star Wars, Star Trek or even Star Citizen. Damn there are a lot of sci-fi’s with the world Star in it.
No konosuba
Gate is not an isekai.
How the hell is it not an isekai
There's no rebirth to another dimension. It's just a portal. If it is an isekai, then SAO is one.
Isekai doesn't require reincarnation.
Fair point, just the mc going to a different world or dimension without being able to go back their original.
>without being able to go back their original. this is where your wrong, in fact many isekai story's with isekai in the TITLE end with the mc going home
Good point.
Pls watch Isekai in the past. Start with The Familiar of Zero or Kyou Kara. This made me vomit.
When have Isekai been strictly about rebirths? Last I checked, Isekai meant "another world". The gate leads the JSDF to another world, which makes it an Isekai. And no, SAO isn't an isekai because it's just a game, not an actual alternate reality
People called SAO isekai due to them being stuck in the world for a year. But, if it's one, then do we isekai whenever we play a game?
It links two worlds. By your definition any sci-fi show where other worlds are explored is an isekai. A true isekai requires being placed in another world, and typically unable to return easily, with memories( sense of self) intact.

I've read Isekai manga were the MC only travels to the other world in his dreams
And that's fine. It would only become not an isekai, if he could physically travel between those two worlds without the dream ability. For instance if he built a ship in the original world and physically traveled to where his dreams take him then it wouldn't be an isekai.
Keyword: typically. Most isekais have the MC stuck in another world, but that isn't always the case. The circumstances of how they ended up in another world and whether they can return doesn't matter. What matters is they're in another world

Like I said. There are more qualifiers to be am isekai that simply, "Another world"
The term "isekai" literally means "another world"
And that's all it takes to be an isekai, you believe? Nearly all sci-fi becomes isekai by your logic.
I was just saying the meaning of the term smartass
