Each season contains a couple of isekai anime. While not everyone is a fan, the theme’s popularity is beyond dispute, and it seems unlikely to lose steam during the coming years. Consequently, the future should be stuffed with reincarnated heroes going on wild adventures in fantasy worlds far removed from their own. Action, adventure, comedy, and romance are just a few genres associated with isekai, and they will be represented well.
The 2024 isekai anime scene is steadily coming into focus, and plenty of new names are already confirmed to be joining the category’s rank. Naturally, the year will also include sequels to juggernaut properties like KonoSuba and Mushoku Tensei, but those series do not need introductions. What are all the new isekai anime announced for 2024?
All new anime, so no sequels.

My Instant Death Ability is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me!
- Japanese Title

Based on a light novel that has been around since 2016, My Instant Death Ability is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me! lives up to its title by giving its protagonist the ultimate cheat. And, the source material allows Yogiri, the male lead, to use this ability frequently and to the detriment of many other characters who are too arrogant to realize they might be outmatched.

Tales of Wedding Rings is probably the most highly-anticipated new isekai anime of Winter 2023. The seinen manga is almost a decade old by this point, and it has been relatively successful considering harems are niche. People unfamiliar with the source material might have caught a glimpse of Princess Krystal in some promotional material as she is being pushed as one of the Winter season’s faces.
A fantasy romance with hints of action, Tales of Weddings Rings follows Haruto as he rushes to another world in pursuit of the girl of his dreams, only to realize that she has a completely different life that goes beyond his wildest imagination.
Fluffy Paradise
Winter 2024
Fluffy Paradise
- Japanese Title
- Isekai de Mofumofu Nadenade suru Tame ni Ganbattemasu
- Release Date
- January 7, 2024
- Genres
- Slice of Life, Fantasy, Isekai
- Studio
- EMT Squared
- Based On
- Light Novel
- Creator
- Himawari
Not every isekai anime focuses on action, adventure, and romance; sometimes, the goal of visiting another world is to discover peace of mind. Fluffy Paradise is a (largely) slow-life story about an overworked protagonist who reincarnates as a girl in a fantasy world. As she loves animals, she requests an ability that allows her to communicate with them, and she sets out to befriend and pet them all.
While generally leaning into relaxing slice of life territory, Fluffy Paradise does suggest some of the kingdom’s rulers are less than savory. Consequently, the anime might not be warm and fuzzy all the time.
Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I’m Not the Demon Lord
Winter 2024
Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I’m Not the Demon Lord
- Japanese Title
- Akuyaku Reijou Level 99: Watashi wa Ura-Boss desu ga Maou dewa Arimasen
- Release Date
- January 9, 2024
- Genres
- Fantasy, Isekai
- Studio
- Jumondo
- Based On
- Light Novel
- Creator
- Satori Tanabata
Villainess isekai anime have become commonplace in recent years, which is hardly surprising since the trend took over the light novel scene in the 2010s. Nowadays, every season seems to include at least one show that fits this subgenre, and Villainess Level 99 should fill that quota for Winter 2024. In a somewhat nice twist, the protagonist is reincarnated as an otome game’s secret boss rather than its final villain; consequently, she is very powerful, and she is also mistaken for the Demon Lord due to having black hair.
Villainess Level 99 has all the hallmarks associated with this type of story, despite the neat twist to the premise. Set predominantly in an academy and featuring a protagonist who simply wants to lead a peaceful life, the anime will probably not impress too many people who are not fond of isekai tropes. Nevertheless, it should be fun.
The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash

The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash

Based on a novel that has already been adapted into a manga, The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash is another slow-life story that goes against the isekai genre’s tendency to rely on OP protagonists. Ivy is reincarnated into a world where power is determined by skills; unfortunately, she is only a tamer, which causes her to be shunned by her family. After losing the only person who cared about her, Ivy heads out on her own and eventually befriends a slime.
7 Isekai Anime Protagonists Who Really Struggled to Adapt to Their New Worlds
Being transported to another world often seems like fun, but these individuals experienced the difficulty that comes with adapting.
The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash is a great pick for anyone looking for an isekai featuring a vulnerable protagonist who has to use her limited skills and resources to survive in a cutthroat world. While certainly not lacking in intense moments, the story still has plenty of cute slice of life sequences.
Meitou “Isekai no Yu” Kaitakuki: Around 40 Onsen Mania no Tensei Saki wa, Nonbiri Onsen Tengoku deshita
Winter 2024
Meitou “Isekai no Yu” Kaitakuki: Around 40 Onsen Mania no Tensei Saki wa, Nonbiri Onsen Tengoku deshita
- Release Date
- 2024-01-00
- Genres
- Isekai, Harem
- Based On
- Light Novel
- Creator
- Konao Menrui
Arguably the most obscure and unknown isekai anime of Winter 2024, Meitou “Isekai no Yu” Kaitakuki is all about hot springs. Yoshizou Yukawa loves nothing more than soaking in an onsen’s natural heat, to the point of dedicating his life to exploring hot springs scattered around Japan. Sadly, he stumbles off a cliff and meets a gruesome end, only to be revived in a fantasy world that caters to his passion.
This probably will not come as a big surprise, but Meitou should have quite a bit of fanservice. It is an isekai anime about soaking in a hot spring, and Yoshizou will not be doing it alone.
The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic

Is there anything more awkward than being the third wheel? Usato experiences a unique version of this phenomenon when he is accidentally summoned to another world alongside his two heroic friends. Stuck in a dangerous universe that does not want him, Usato’s only saving grace is his ability to use healing magic. However, this ends up getting him in hot water since it grabs the attention of Rose, a stern teacher who quickly sets out to whip Usato into shape.
A decent read with a fairly original premise, The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic should offer a good mix of action and comedy, and the anime’s trailer emphasizes the latter.

Set for an April 2024 debut, this isekai anime follows a salaryman who reincarnates as the son of a noble family with a talent for analyzing people’s abilities. Using this skill, the protagonist seeks to make a positive impact in a world that seems on the verge of a war.
The 15 Most Underrated Isekai Anime
Nowadays, Isekai anime are inescapable. For every Sword Art Online and Overlord, there is a great but underrated isekai anime.
Reincarnated As An Aristocrat With An Appraisal Skill earns points for granting its main character a fairly unique ability that sets him apart from the many powerful leads that dominate the isekai world. Hopefully, the rest of the show will be good.
2024 Isekai Anime With No Confirmed Season
As 2024 progresses, more and more isekai anime will not only reveal themselves but also commit themselves to specific seasons. Currently, only the Winter 2024 season is jam-packed with content, while Spring is just starting to take shape. While it is difficult to predict exactly how the rest of the year will look, a few shows are slated for a 2024 debut, even if they have yet to reveal their seasons.
The following table includes every 2024 isekai anime that has yet to commit to a release period:
