After experiencing a world plagued by government corruption and social injustice, he decides to join Night Raid, whose only mission is to overthrow the corrupt government.

3. The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic:

Episodes: 12

Release Date: January 2024

Genre: Isekai, Action, Comedy

Where to Watch: Crunchyroll

A new underrated Isekai anime filled with humour and an emotionally driven story. The show has some wholesome vibes to it because of fun sequences in between with vibrant and strong characters.

The story starts with the usual scene, where our main protagonist, Usato, is isekai’d into another fantasy world with his new friends.

But to his surprise, he was not the one who was summoned as a hero to protect the world. He was dragged along with his other smart classmates on the way.

Surprisingly, he also got some magical power; and no, it’s not some swordsman skills; it’s healing magic.

But as you may think, a healer’s job is not as simple as it looks in other shows. It’s the toughest one you will ever experience.

Usato was thrown into a brutal training regimen under Rose, a terrifying drill instructor, and his life is now totally in the hands of his ferocious and ruthless instructor, Rose.

2. Tasukare Hotel:

Episodes: 12

Release Date: January 2018

Genre: Mystery, Supernatural

Where to Watch: Crunchyroll

Do you know what happens when you’re on the verge of dying or barely alive? And if you’re transferred to an unknown place, where everything is assembled to remind you of your existence in real life? Well, that’s exactly what the plot of the show is.

The main protagonist of the anime, Neko Tsukahara, a high schooler, also finds herself in front of a mysterious hotel, Tasukare Hotel. She is invited to stay as a guest, just like other people in the hotel. As the mystery unfolds, the show becomes more complex.

It caters to all the emotions of each and every character who are guests there and trying to figure out where they actually belong and their past life.

Within 12 episodes, you will get to experience an awesome main protagonist, the cruelest villains, and an epic storyline; what else do you need?

1. Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious:

Episodes: 12

Release Date: October 2019

Genre: Isekai, Comedy, Fantasy

Where to Watch: Crunchyroll

Again, a super fun show with awesome characters. Even though the plotline of this anime is not something outwardly, the humour is next level.

One of the funniest anime on our list, and if you enjoyed watching Konosuba, then don’t sleep on this one because you will definitely regret it if you do. Just watch it and you will see how magnificently amusing it is.

The story starts with our main protagonist, Seiya Ryuuguuin, getting summoned to save the world of Gaeabrande, but he is not the one who takes action before getting ready perfectly!

He perfects his skills to the limit that no one can ever imagine. Before involving himself in any fight with enemies, he distances himself and even doesn’t hesitate to run away if he feels he is not ready perfectly.

Basically, he is a perfectionist who never lets any opportunity pass to make himself 100 times better than his opponent, and that leads to fun atrocities every time.

Especially with the goddess who summoned him. Well, I don’t want to let out any spoilers because watching every bit of this anime is pure bliss.

Just drop everything and watch this, and trust me, you will have the time of your life.

Wrapping Up:

So, now you have a list of shows on your watchlist; what are you waiting for? Just forget about your problems and binge on these shows because life is not about worrying, it’s about enjoying every moment of your life.
