1. The Eminence in Shadow (2022)
Just like Batman, Minoru Kagenou from the anime The Eminence in Shadow serves his city at night and keeps his identity a secret from everyone as he fights danger. However, unlike Batman, our protagonist dies, and magic emerges.
In another world, a hero was needed to keep the peace, leading to the rise of the Shadow Garden, which was started by Cid Kagenou, heir to a noble family.
With powers foreign to his world, he can gather enough members to make the organization. Cid unknowingly leads the organization until he realizes he isn’t lying to them. Having all the memories of Minoru, Cid must now use this to his advantage in this new, strange world.

2. Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World (2022)
‘Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World’, also called ‘Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo’ and Jobless Reincarnation, are much more similar than you think.

But this particular one is much more than just that, as it has harem and Isekai themes.
Michio Kaga, our protagonist here, is a teenager obsessed with gaming until one day, he is sucked into the game, and the adventure begins when he starts conquering the game levels as he earns gradually through the game.
As the title suggests, Michio Kaga starts his own Harem and other things he can not do in high school. Isekai Meikyuu de Harem’ definitely deserves to be on the list.

From the title, everybody must think they know what anime is about; it is more than just that. ‘How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom’, just like ‘Jobless Reincarnation ‘, involves a journey of adventure by the protagonist; however, this one takes us more into the political world.

Everything goes well until he finds himself in the gaming world, where he changes into Mira, a girl.
The main character, posing as the legendary Dunbalf’s student, follows King Solomon’s instructions to locate the Nine Wise Mages. While the anime is not precisely the same as “Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation,” viewers seeking an isekai series that is distinct in its own right may find it appealing
5. The Greatest Demon Lord Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody (2022)
Just like anybody else in this world, Varvatos too wanted to become the most powerful person in the whole world, but of course, with great power comes great fear. ‘The Greatest Demon Lord Is Reborn as a Typical Nobody’ is about ‘The Demon Lord’ who, through hard work, becomes the most feared man among his people, hence being called that way.
Unfortunately, his life did not quite turn up as he expected; being isolated from people, he wanted to do all the normal things and have friends until he was later given a second chance when he was reborn three thousand years later.
Now, as Ard Meteor, Varvatos hopes he is weaker than before and tries anything to be like other ordinary people and finally experience what it feels like to have friends. Varvatos relates to Rudeus in ‘Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation’ in one way or another as both are reincarnated with the hope of changing their lives into a better one.

Now that he is in the game, he must apply his knowledge of dating to clear the different challenging levels of the game.
Just like Rudeus from ‘Jobless Reincarnation,’ Leon did not ask for all these, and neither was he happy with them, which made his life a lot more complicated with new challenges. ‘Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs’, also called ‘Otome Game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishi Sekai desu’, sure is fun to watch.

10. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (2018)
The name seems too weird, but this anime is worth watching! It starts with a salaryman, who unexpectedly dies and reincarnates as a slime. However, the fun part is that the world where he gets reincarnated is full of action with swords and magic.
As every anime gives some superpowers to the main characters, he also gets a skill called “Predator.” Now, this skill is highly helpful as he can devour something, mimic the skills, and form no matter who he devoured from.

13. Wise Man’s Grandchild (2019)
‘Wiaw Man’s Grandchild’ is a hilarious anime series about a young salaryman who dies and is reborn as a baby. He is picked up by a patriot hero, ‘Sage,’ Merlin Wolford, who adopts him and gives him the name Shin.
Under Merlin’s guidance, Shin learns many skills and gains magical powers.

Another similarity is that of Shin and Rudeus.
14. By the Grace of the Gods (2020)
Just like ‘Jobless Reincarnation’ tells a story of a helpless young boy whose life is completely turned around after reincarnation, so does the life of Ryoma Takebayashi in ‘By the Grace of the Gods’.
Although the two characters, Ryoma and Rudeus, do not suffer similar deaths, both experience positive life changes after rebirth.

16. Misfit of Demon King Academy
Unlike all the other anime series on the list, this one is slightly twisted; the main character, Anos Voldigoad, is reversely incarnated, meaning he was already living a life of war and destruction and was even called a Demon King.

However, they encounter many challenges throughout their adventure in the game, such as gamers who try to kill other gamers.
18. Parallel World Pharmacy
Unsurprisingly, ‘Parallel World Pharmacy’, like ‘jobless reincarnation’, also involves death and being born again. However, the character here is Kanji Yakutani, who has a strong passion for medicine and hopes to create medicine to treat people.
However, he dies, and to his amazement, he is born in a medieval world where he is blessed with a gift. Unfortunately, in his new world, only the rich can afford medicine. And Kanji takes it upon himself to solve that injustice.
19. Overlord
Like the previous one, ‘Overlord’ follows a full-dive into the MMORPG game and a very formidable guild called Ainz Ooal Gown. Although the game is very popular and has had huge success, it was set to shut down.

20. Saga of Tanya the Evil

Now, in a new town called Ehrentfest, she is reborn as Myne, the daughter of a poor soldier. Being strongly divided by class in this new town, Myne didn’t mind it as long as she had books until otherwise.
