None can take Sung Jin-woo's place though.]]>
<![CDATA[

Has Solo Leveling got all your attention this season? Well, we know just the right shows to keep you entertained seven days a week while you wait for new episodes to drop. t462m

Solo Leveling stormed into the anime landscape, rapidly conquered the devotion of every action-fantasy fan, and it’s already a contender for Anime of the Year. This means if you haven’t yet delved into the captivating saga of Sung Jin-woo, we couldn’t suggest a better time to do it.

But if you’re already all caught up with this adventures amidst the realm of hunters and monsters, you must be left with a knack for such gripping narratives. While Solo Leveling is a one-of-a-kind anime diverging from conventional clichés and tropes, a few titles evoke a similar feeling. Here are ten anime that promise to captivate you just as much as Solo Leveling.

1. The Rising of the Shield Hero (2019) 2q1e5p

If underdog anime protagonists inspire you, this 2019 dark fantasy anime will win your heart. Like Sung Jin-woo in Solo Leveling, the main character Naofumi in The Rising of the Shield Hero also experiences hardship and discrimination before becoming a formidable figure when summoned into a parallel world. To make it better, a fourth season of The Rising of the Shield Hero was recently announced in Jan. 2024. So, you’re not running out of Naofumi’s adventures anytime soon.

2. Log Horizon (2013) g2q1k

The most captivating narrative device in Solo Leveling is Sung Jin-woo’s imprisonment in a world where monsters and dungeons from video games have come to life. The three-season 2013 anime Log Horizon promises a similar premise where players of the MMORPG Elder Tale are inexplicably brought into the game universe. The series also delves into comparable gaming concepts like Solo Leveling‘s leveling up, such as player classes, skills, and combat methods.

3. Goblin Slayer (2018) 5y3tu

Instead of monsters, the main characters in Goblin Slayer set out on missions to eradicate goblins, encountering many obstacles and perils along the way. The show also delves into dark fantasy themes, examining violence, survival, and the worst sides of human nature. Even though Goblin Slayer doesn’t have extreme undertones, it nonetheless maintains the sense of tension and narrative suspense that Solo Leveling is known for. Goblin Slayer is our pick for viewers seeking a less sentimental story with more excitement!

4. Shangri-La Frontier (2023) 344a1m

Much like the realm of dungeons and monsters in Solo Leveling, the characters in Shangri-La Frontier are transported to a fantasy world complete with levels, stats, and skills. So, character growth and development are central themes in both the anime. If you’re looking for the ideal balance of fantasy and adventure, you might like watching this futuristic anime from last year.

5. Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? (2015) 2y54u

If the anime’s title didn’t strike a similarity already, this fantasy comedy anime is set in a similar fantasy world filled with monsters, dungeons, and magic. While Solo Leveling focuses more on the action part, Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? will make sure to leave you in a jolly mood after every episode. And, whether it’s Bell Cranel forming alliances with other adventurers in a dungeon or Sung Jin-woo teaming up with other hunters, both anime will teach you the value of cooperation.

6. Tower of God (2020) y5z2q

Before Solo Leveling, another popular South Korean manhwa, Tower of God, was adapted into an incredible anime in June 2020. The series has distinct power structures that propel the narrative and guarantee you never miss the iconic Solo Leveling action. The fights in both series are gripping and strategically interesting, whether it’s Bam taking on lethal challenges inside the Tower or Sung Jin-woo battling formidable monsters. A second season of Tower of God is also set to premiere in July 2024.

7. Overlord (2015) 5v2q6v

Ainz Ooal Gown, the overlord in charge of the virtual realm of Yggdrasil will make you forget all about Solo Leveling. If he doesn’t, the series’ themes of ambition and power will undoubtedly bring to mind the hints of Solo Leveling. Either way, Overlord has become the ideal anime for lovers of the dark fantasy subgenre since 2015 and wrapped up its fourth season in 2022. Like Solo Leveling, the show explores the mechanics of a virtual world and features jaw-dropping battles to keep you captivated for the entire four seasons.

8. Sword Art Online (2012) 3i6fi

Players in Sword Art Online are imprisoned within the titular game set in a world known as Aincrad. Like Sung Jin-woo in Solo Leveling, the players in Sword Art Online level up and acquire experience points by slaying monsters and completing objectives. In both narratives, the characters go on exciting adventures that propel the plot; whether clearing dungeons, facing monsters, or discovering hidden mysteries. Despite being a decade old, the anime remains one of the best virtual reality-themed stories out there.

9. The Unwanted Undead Adventurer (2024) j465d

The Unwanted Undead Adventurer recently premiered on Jan. 8, 2024, following the story of Rentt Faina, a 25-year-old Bronze-ranked adventurer. While not very similar to Solo Leveling in of the plot, the anime features captivating fantasy adventures set in a richly imagined world. However, Faina’s character growth will remind you of Sung Jin-woo at times.

10. Hunter X Hunter (2011) 641311

The Hunter × Hunter material is so good that it was adapted into an anime twice. Whether you want to watch the 62-episode 1999 version or the most recent 148-episode 2011 version, Hunter x Hunter will not leave you bored. The series explores the diverse world of hunters, Nen s, and various factions, and focuses on a young boy named Gon aspiring to become a hunter. Fans of Solo Leveling will also appreciate the strategic depth and complexity of the combat scenes in Hunter X Hunter.

Or, if you just want the real deal, you can watch Solo Levelling as part of a Crunchyroll subscription.

Instead of just waiting for season 4, allow yourself to be whisked away by these isekai stories.]]>
<![CDATA[

With the third season of The Rising of the Shield Hero coming to a close, and no release date for the fourth announced yet, isekai anime fans are understandably starved.

The isekai genre is full of fantastical worlds and underdog characters. It also helps that there’s a certain relatability to most of the protagonists. Just like Naofumi Iwatami, most of us want to feel strong, respected, and loved. Thankfully, there are other anime to binge through, each boasting their own exciting worlds, and protagonists worth rooting for. 

Arifureta: From Common Place to World’s Strongest 2p6m19

Just like in Shield Hero, Hajime Nagumo is summoned to a new world alongside a group of his classmates. While they are all tasked with slaying evil demons and saving the world, Hajime inherits the weakest hero class of the group. However, he soon learns how to level up his power to become a mighty hero. 

Sword Art Online 5f5c5a

A staple of the isekai genre, Sword Art Online follows Kirito as he and fifty thousand other people are dropped into a video game where the only way to exit is to win. Death in the game means real-life death, so players must be vigilant and crafty to stay alive. 

Fate/Grand Order: Absolute Demonic Front Babylonia 2t6e13

While most entries in the Fate series follow a standard Holy Grail War format, Babylonia follows Fujimaru and Mash, of the Grand Order, as they travel to ancient Babylon to retrieve the final Holy Grail and fix the singularities caused by the evil King Solomon. The two encounter King Gilgamesh and have to help the residents of Uruk defeat all kinds of evil. 

Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World 3c4266

Re:Zero mirrors Shield Hero as it follows a protagonist who, even after being transported to a new world, is still relatively weak. When Subaru Natsuki finds himself in a strange new world, he discovers that he now has the ability to wake up a few hours in the past every time he is killed. His power comes with the catch that the pain of his several deaths never leaves him, but he decides to use it to help his new friends. 

Saga of Tanya the Evil 626c26

A nameless salaryman is transported to a war-torn, magic-infused past at the moment of his death in the body of a girl named Tanya, who is condemned to hell. Tanya decides to the army and rise through the ranks to get to a position so high that her safety is secured, leading to a ruthless quest for power acquisition. 

Overlord  212s67

Overlord follows Satoru Suzuki, who goes from leading a guild in a video game to inhabiting his character in the game, with no memory of how he fell into it. As he slowly begins to embody his character, we see Satoru grow stronger not only physically but also mentally as he embraces the darker and more calculating aspects of Ainz OOal Gown, the lord of Nazerisk. 

Jobless Reincarnation 3l19n

Jobless Reincarnation follows a nameless man, who, after a meaningless life, sacrifices himself to save someone and dies. Instead of nothingness, he wakes up in a magical world with all his memories of his past life. With the advantage of an adult mind, he names himself Rudeus Greyrat and is determined to make this new life count, learning magic and swordplay at an advanced rate, and gaining immense power. 

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime 4y2c6e

Boring salaryman Satoru Mikami is reincarnated in a fantasy world as a slime creature. In a classic isekai trope, while he is initially believed to be weak and underpowered, he finds out that his slime abilities include the ability to absorb people’s powers, quickly allowing him to power up as he navigates the new world. 

No Game, No Life 62g42

A common style of isekai anime is having characters be transported to the world of their favorite games. In No Game No Life, the best gamers in the world are transported to a new world where gaming determines every choice. Sora and Shiro must navigate this unknown world where life and death hang in the balance of games.

Bofuri: I Don’t Want to Get Hurt Anymore So I’ll Max Out my Power 1h5771

With all the attack-based anime out there, Bofuri is all about defense. The series follows Kaede Honjo who can’t stand to take any damage in the video game she plays. This leads to her only using a shield and pouring all her resources into reinforcing that shield. The anime is full of unorthodox and creative fighting styles, as she prioritizes her amazing defensive abilities.

It’s never too soon to jump into another new and exciting world.]]>
<![CDATA[

Black Summoner is one of those anime that proves the isekai genre is in good hands. 

The fantasy series follows Kelvin, who wakes up in a new world without any memories of his past life. After realizing he had battered his memories for powerful abilities, he begins a journey as a Summoner and an adventurer. At just 12 episodes long  Black Summoner is a quick binge. But after that, these other anime are a great way to venture into newer worlds. 

Cautious Hero: The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious 295f1v

Cautious Hero follows Seiya Ryuuguuin, a hero summoned to save a parallel world from destruction. While Seiya possesses incredible strength and abilities, his overly cautious nature leads him to overprepare for even the simplest tasks, frustrating his goddess companion Ristarte. Overall, the series masterfully combines humor and action, as well as a huge dose of adventure and magic.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime 4y2c6e

This series follows the story of lonely Satoru Mikami, a middle-aged man who is stabbed and reincarnated into a fantasy world as a slime with unique powers. Renamed Rimuru Tempest, he embarks on a journey to explore this new world, make friends, and build a nation that fosters peace between races. If you’re looking for an anime with an overpowered main character, great action, monsters, and adventure, this is the one.

Beast Tamer 385l62

Based on a manga with the same name, Beast Tamer is an adventure anime that follows Rein, a beast tamer considered weak by all. When he is fired from the hero Arios’ party, he goes on an adventure to get stronger. Rein’s ability to form contracts with animals helps him to become an expert beast tamer. Although this is not an isekai, like Black Summoner the anime has a protagonist whose power is initially seen as useless but later excels in summoning or taming magic.

Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody 2r1216

Death March revolves around Ichiro “Satou” Suzuki, a programmer who takes a nap after working on a game and wakes up in his game. While playing the game, Satou gains various magical abilities and accidentally kills a horde of monsters. He immediately gets a ton of experience points and wealth. He then decides to become a trader journeying through the game and save those in harm’s way. Like the protagonist in Black Summoner, Satou hides his true ability in the series and also gathers a powerful harem.

Arifureta: From Commonplace to World’s Strongest 2y162

Afureta follows 17-year-old otaku Hajime Nagumo who, alongside his classmates, is summoned to a fantasy world and tasked with saving mankind. While his classmates are gifted with formidable combat abilities, Hajime faces mockery for possessing an inferior transmutation skill. Betrayed by a classmate during an expedition, and pushed to the bottom of an abyss, he somehow survives the fall. Desperate to survive and return home, Hajime confronts monsters and a string of misfortunes on his journey.

By the Grace of the Gods 1t2xz

By the Grace of the Gods is a slice-of-life Isekai anime that follows Ryouma Takebayashi, a man who had led a miserable life and died at the age of 39. Taking pity on him, three deities reincarnate him into a new world in hopes of him living a fun life. With his newfound existence and aptitude for magic, Ryouma builds up an army of slime and s a group of travelers to journey the world. Much like Black Summoner, this anime has the protagonist taming monsters.

Konosuba 1626r

Konosuba is a comedy anime that follows Kazuma Satou, an otaku who finds himself in a fantasy world after a comical and untimely death. Rather than going on a heroic adventure, he forms a party with his quirky companions- Aqua, the goddess; Megumin, an explosive-obsessed mage; and Darkness, a masochistic knight. Together the group embarks on comedic misadventures in a quest for a more comfortable life. Konosuba, like Black Summoner, has fantasy, action, adventure, and a powerful harem.

My Isekai Life 535465

An underrated anime series that shares similar themes of fantasy, action, adventure, and monster taming, My Isekai Life follows Yuuji Sano, an ordinary office worker who is summoned to another world. There he discovers that he is a Monster Tamer character class with the ability to befriend slimes. He soon becomes a Mage, allowing him to wield powerful magic. After becoming the most powerful sage, Yuuji embarks on an adventure. 

The Rising of The Shield Hero 2g1w3p

With the help of his companions, he battles powerful enemies and strives to uncover the truth behind the waves that threaten the world. 

The Fruit of Evolution 63e6o

The Fruit of Evolution follows Seiichi Hiragi, a fat outcast who had been bullied at school. One day, a god announces over the school telecom that all the students will be transported to another world. Abandoned again by his schoolmates, Seiichi is left to his own devices. He eats a fruit that turns out to be the fruit of evolution, throwing his life to new heights. Similar to Black Summoner, this series involves gathering a harem and leveling up in an Isekai world.

Season two of the anime picks right back up from where the series left of three years ago—with a focus on Rishia.]]>
<![CDATA[

One of the most highly anticipated shows of the Spring 2022 anime season is finally here. The Rising of the Shield Hero made its long-awaited return as the first episode of its second season premiered on Crunchyroll today. Here’s why everyone is so hype.

What is it? 485n6q

The Rising of the Shield Hero is an anime adaptation of Aneko Yusagi’s light novel series. The dark fantasy isekai follows Naofumi Iwatani when he’s transported into a fantasy world as a Cardinal Hero, tasked with fighting monsters from other dimensions called Waves. As a Cardinal Hero, Naofumi wields one of four legendary weapons, the shield, lending to his title as Shield Hero. It’s the only defensive weapon too, which marks him as a standout from the rest of his cohort. 

Yusagi began working on the series as a web novel in 2015, and in 2013 it was revamped as an expanded light novel series. Since then, The Rising of the Shield Hero has received 22 volumes and counting, published in North America by One Peace Books. In addition, the series has received various comedic light novels and manga spin-offs, while Aiya Kyū has adapted the series into manga since 2014. Kinema Citrus’s anime adaptation first premiered in 2019. 

Who’s involved? 2u5t4o

Some important changes accompany the 13-episode sequel season. Kinema Citrus is ed by South Korean animation studio DR Movie to assist in production, while Masato Jinbo, a storyboard artist for Laid-Back Camp’s two seasons and director of its spin-off short series Room Camp, has assumed the role of director on season two. DR Movie has several original productions; the studio is perhaps best known for its work on Nickelodeon’s famed Avatar: The Last Airbender, animating 19 of the show’s 61 episodes.

Other cast and crew have returned for the new season, including English Made in Abyss composer Kevin Penkin. And season two’s premiere episode makes a strong impression, showing off the crew’s individual talents in narrative plotting, fight choreography, and, most importantly, culinary animation.

Should you watch it? 6o3q1w

If you’re a fan of season one or the original light novels, season two is set to be a return to form for the acclaimed anime. Newcomers may want to start back at season one, however, as the story quickly picks back up with little time for reintroductions or explanations of this isekai’s setting.

Whether you’re an isekai fan or not, you’ll find The Rising of the Shield Hero familiar — from its fantasy setting to its protagonist surrounded by a ing cast of women and girls. If that’s the kind of getaway you crave, then The Rising of the Shield Hero is probably your jam. And if it’s not, then you’ll want to check out what the rest of the spring season has to offer.
