Getting reborn and becoming overwhelming strong had been the usual cliche in many fantasy anime and such is the case with The Strongest Sage With the Weakest Crest, a newly released anime from the Winter 2022 seasonal lineup.
It is a rather generic story that we often get from many fantasy anime but it still has that enticing plot that makes fans get invested in it due to its familiar vibes and similarities with many fantasies and adventure anime.
The Strongest Sage With the Weakest Crest anime is adapted from the action and fantasy-adventure light novel Shikkakumon no Saikyou Kenja: Sekai Saikyou no Kenja ga Sarani Tsuyoku Naru Tame ni Tensei Shimashita which was written by Shotou Shinkou and illustrated by Huuka Kazabana. The light novel also received a manga adaptation in 2017 by Liver Jam and POPO.
The anime follows the story of Matthias, the world’s strongest sage who decided to undergo reincarnation to evolve and reach new heights only to be reborn in an era where the world’s standard towards magic had been utmostly poor. Thus, his journey has started once again, and this time, by showing the world, the strongest sage.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
A story of reincarnation and becoming an almighty entity then will always highlight one of the best shounen and isekai anime that we had in recent years, and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime will always be easily remembered. This is an exciting and rather detailed-oriented story of adventure and politics with demons, monsters, and humans in a new fantasy world where our average salaryman gets reincarnated after he accidentally gets stabbed and killed.
Noblesse
This is not a reincarnation story in particular but Noblesse shares some similarities to The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest. Both series involve having main characters living a low-key life, however, in Noblesse instead of getting reincarnation, the main character Raizel has just awakened from a deep slumber after several centuries.
Tokyo Ravens
A combination of reincarnation and possession elements, Tokyo Ravens will give you a rather Eastern and modern adventure through supernatural narratives and plots. Imagine being the host of the soul of a powerful exorcist, a figure that sits in the middle of many conspiracies among exorcists and supernaturals, what will you do? Will you succumb to your destiny? Tokyo Ravens follows those cliches while also revolving around the classic elements of romance, teenage drama, and some interesting drama.
Wise Man’s Grandchild
Here’s another low-key isekai in our list and one that features a rather powerful main character who tries to hide his real power but still ended up making it too obvious. Wise Man’s Grandchild also known as the Philosopher’s Grandson is a riveting story of teenage drama and romance set in a fantasy world where demons also exist.

So, when she’s given a chance to be reincarnated, she requested to make her skills and power just average, but it seems that fate had its own plan. Thus, beginning her journey as an over-the-top adventurer who wishes to hide her skills in every possible way.
Spirit Chronicles
From the Summer 2021 anime lineup, Spirit Chronicles is a rather underrated series that I believed people should start watching despite how average or common its plot might be. It follows a teenage boy who got reincarnated in a fantasy world. But as he explore this new world, he found out that he is not the only one who got reincarnated and it seems that there’s a lot at stake in this adventure that he can imagine.
Ascendance of a Bookworm

In this new world, she possessed the body of a young and frail girl named Mai, there, her adventure as an adult inside a young girl’s body began. She’s overwhelmingly way ahead of her time in this New World, as she started to bring her knowledge from her past life, and make surprising discoveries and inventions in this fantasy world.
Plunderer
Last in our list of anime like The Strongest Sage with the Weakest Crest is not an isekai anime or a story with a reincarnation plot but a hilarious adventure about an absolutely absurd low-key main character.
