Calling All Isekai Fans: Dive into the Gooey, Gross, and Glorious World of Anime Like Re:Monster!

So, if you enjoyed the power-up-through-eating aspect of Re:Monster, then get ready to meet some other fascinating protagonists who aren’t your typical heroes.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (TenSura)

Ever wanted to be reborn as a slime monster? Well, in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Satoru Mikami gets his wish (sort of). This salaryman slime, Rimuru Tempest, may not be the most intimidating creature, but his intelligence, adaptability, and knack for making friends quickly turn this gooey guy into a force to be reckoned with.

Reincarnated as a Sword

Buckle up for a truly unique isekai experience! Reincarnated as a Sword throws you into the world as a sentient sword, relying on a human companion named Fran to wield you in battle. This master-student duo may not be your typical pairing, but their journey is full of action, heartwarming moments, and a healthy dose of humor.

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon 

This one takes the isekai cake (or should I say snack?)! Imagine being reborn as a vending machine trapped in a dungeon. Talk about limitations! But Boxxo, our vending machine protagonist in Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon, doesn’t let that stop him. He uses his unique abilities and surprising ingenuity to carve out a niche for himself in this fantastical world.

So I’m a Spider, So What? 

Don’t underestimate the underdog! So I’m a Spider, So What? throws you headfirst into the life of a high school girl reincarnated as a lowly spider monster in a dangerous dungeon. With nothing but sheer willpower and resourcefulness, this protagonist, known as Kumoko, has to fight tooth and nail for survival. It’s a captivating story of resilience and overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.

The Unwanted Undead Adventurer 

This one hits a little closer to home for those of us who’ve ever felt like failures. Rentt Faina, the protagonist of The Unwanted Undead Adventurer, is a struggling adventurer who can’t seem to catch a break. But after a fateful encounter with a dragon, he gets a second chance at life – as an undead being! Now, with a new lease (or should I say un-lease?) on life, Rentt embarks on a journey of self-discovery and, hopefully, becomes a little less unwanted.

Skeleton Knight in Another World

Gamers, assemble! Skeleton Knight in Another World takes you on a wild ride as Arc, a gamer who wakes up in his game world as a skeleton knight. With his powerful armor and weapons, Arc sets out to navigate this new reality, facing challenges and forging unlikely alliances along the way.

Overlord

Calling all fans of world domination! Overlord throws you into the story of Momonga, a virtual reality gamer who finds himself trapped inside a game as his powerful avatar. Now, with an army of NPCs at his command, Momonga, who adopts the name Ainz Ooal Gown, sets his sights on ruling this new world.

Goblin Slayer

Not all adventures are sunshine and rainbows. Goblin Slayer is a dark and gritty story that follows a relentless warrior who has dedicated his life to one singular purpose: the complete eradication of goblins. Be warned this isn’t your lighthearted monster-munching adventure. But if you crave a story with intense action sequences and a protagonist with an unwavering determination, then Goblin Slayer might just be your cup of tea (or shall I say, goblin blood?).

Butareba -The Story of a Man Turned into a Pig-

Now, here’s one for the truly bizarre isekai enthusiasts! Butareba throws you a curveball by turning our protagonist into a pig! Yes, you read that right. After waking up in the body of a pig, the aptly named Pig (because, well, he’s a pig!), encounters Jess, a telepathic girl who can understand his (often crude) thoughts. Despite Pig’s less-than-refined inner monologue, Jess accepts him, and together they navigate this strange new world. This anime is an unexpected comedic gem with a heartwarming twist.

TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit Fantasy-

Ever been ostracized for not fitting in? Well, Makoto Misumi, the protagonist of TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit Fantasy-, can definitely relate. Summoned to another world as a “hero,” Makoto is deemed “ugly” by the goddess and banished to the wastelands. But instead of giving up, Makoto uses his resourcefulness and builds a new life for himself, forging bonds with a diverse cast of non-human races. It’s a story of resilience, acceptance, and finding your place in the world, even when it feels like everyone else is against you.

Phew! That was a whirlwind tour of some fantastic anime like Re:Monster. Each offers a unique twist on the isekai genre, with fascinating protagonists, thrilling adventures, and a healthy dose of humor (or darkness, depending on your preference!). So, whether you crave a story about devouring your way to the top, wielding a sentient sword, or simply surviving as a misunderstood pig, there’s an anime on this list waiting to be discovered.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your snacks (because let’s be honest, isekai adventures are always best enjoyed with a delicious accompaniment!), settle in, and get ready to dive into these fantastical worlds!
