Anime With Same Comdedy As Isekjai Quatet

Although not a recent creation, isekai anime has become borderline inescapable over the last decade. The unstoppable success of Sword Art Online propelled forward a new era dominated by teenagers being transported to alternate worlds typically (but not exclusively) based on MMORPG mechanics.

Ultimately, isekai is a premise; a launching pad for a franchise that can then go on to set its own tone. Shows such as Now and Then, Here and There and Grimgar: Ashes and Illusions opt to tackle mature subjects in a semi-realistic manner; on the other hand, some anime prefer to adopt a lighter touch. For those looking to explore a new world and have a laugh along the way, these are the best comedy isekai anime out there.

10 Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious

Tropes are popular for a reason – they work, permitting someone is willing and able to present them in a unique and fun way. Cautious Hero hits many of the basic chords of a modern isekai: an overpowered protagonist, a goddess side-kick, and a stereotypical fantasy world. However, the light novel (and anime) sets itself apart by making the main character overly careful, leading to plenty of hilarious moments.

As the goddess who summons Seiya to be her savior, Ristarte frequently finds herself exasperated by the hero's penchant for overkill or inaction.

9 Drifters

Drifters is deranged. Teleporting an array of historical figures to a dark fantasy world and then throwing them into a war against each other, Drifters is gruesome, violent, and unpredictable. This is predominantly an action anime and a pretty gory one at that.

When not filling the screen with blood or fire, Drifters loves to suddenly throw out some slapstick. These shifts in tone might sound jarring, but Drifters is so constantly over-the-top that the action and humor end up complementing each other. It is similar to Golden Kamuy in this regard.

8 The Slime Diaries: That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime

A spin-off of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, a rather funny isekai anime in its own right, The Slime Diaries is a slice-of-life series that highlights Rimuru's mundane daily activities. More Laid-back and slower-paced than the parent show, The Slime Diaries gives Tempest's residents room to breathe.

Although not often laugh out loud funny, The Slime Diaries' relaxed and casual tone should inspire plenty of smiles. Fans of the main series should allocate a bit of time to watch this spin-off as it does a great job of fleshing out the characters.

7 El Hazard

A '90s classic, El Hazard is simply fun. Whether watching T he Magnificent World OVAs or its alternate retelling called El Hazard: The Wanderers, this franchise can be relied upon to deliver quirky and memorable characters, a chaotic plot that seldom has a quiet moment, and usually detailed and gorgeous animation.

El Hazard weaves a surprisingly effective storyline and benefits from the fact it never takes itself too seriously. The English Dub is also pretty good and doesn't detract from the show's quality at all.

6 No Game No Life

No Game No Life's humor can be divisive as quite a bit of it comes at the expense of the likable Stephanie. However, when it clicks, No Game No Life is about as funny as any isekai out there.

The comedy is almost entirely dependent on Sora, the (somewhat) arrogant protagonist who is just unbeatable at games and loves to make sure everyone knows it. Madhouse's animation elevates the humor significantly due to how expressive the characters can be.

5 Ixion Saga DT

Ixion Saga DT embraces stupidity with the intensity of a thousand suns. Kon Hokaze winds up in a game he likes and then proceeds to spend the vast majority of his immediate future trying to leave said RPG. Weirdly enough, it is refreshing to have a protagonist who is genuinely unhappy that they have been teleported to a dangerous fantasy world.

Ixion Saga DT's humor is often random and absurd, with quite a lot of gags feeling like they belong in a sketch show rather than an adventure series.

4 How Not to Summon a Demon Lord

Similar to Overlord, How Not to Summon a Demon Lord derives its humor from an overpowered "evil" protagonist who is out of his depth, at least on a personality level. While Overlord's Momonga has a built-in mechanic that helps him keep up the charade, How Not to Summon a Demon Lord's Diablo is left to fend for himself.

Whenever Diablo's mask falls off, hilarity ensues thanks to the character's great voice acting and comedic timing. Unfortunately, the second season falls short in the humor department.

3 The Devil Is a Part-Timer!

The Devil Is a Part-Timer! is a reverse isekai since the demonic protagonist, Sadao Maou, is sent to Earth. Although it is not a traditional isekai anime, The Devil Is a Part-Timer! is such a funny show that it has to be mentioned. Stripped of most of his power, Satan takes a job at basically a McDonald's, a position the Demon Lord excels at.

The Devil Is a Part-Timer! takes its ridiculous characters and drops them in the most unspectacular position possible. More importantly, the anime does not present an especially exaggerate depiction of Fast Food life; in fact, it is quite grounded. The contrast works wonders.

2 KonoSuba

KonoSuba is THE comedy isekai anime, and nothing else comes close in terms of popularity. Kazuma dies in a simultaneously heroic and embarrassing fashion, meets a dismissive goddess called Aqua, and is sent to a fantasy world to kill the Demon King. As a parting gift, Kazuma is permitted to take anything he wants; therefore, he picks Aqua. At times, Kazuma comes to regret this decision.

KonoSuba parodies isekai tropes; the protagonist is the worst (in the best possible way), his "harem" consists of the worst girls (in the best possible way), and most developments the characters make towards achieving their goals happen by accident.

1 Isekai Quartet

Is this cheating? This feels like cheating. Isekai Quartet brings together some of the most popular isekai anime of the last decade, including KonoSuba and Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious, and drops their characters in a high school setting. So, technically, this is a reverse, reverse isekai anime.

All of the laughter derives from the way these personalities mingle, permitting sillier characters like KonoSuba's quartet to bounce off Overlord's Floor Guardians and Re:Zero's Subaru and Emilia. While the anime is still funny in a vacuum, familiarity with the original shows is recommended to fully appreciate Isekai Quartet.
