The Best Harem Anime Of All Time (August 2024) - Game Rant
Beloved for their numerous love interests, harem anime are eternally popular. These are the best harem animes ever made.
comedy and ecchi, this isekai anime
However, despite being very powerful, Diablo agrees to help these girls unbind their contract, although the journey to get there might be more troublesome than expected. Leaning heavily into <anchor>comedy and ecchi, this isekai anime</anchor> is arguably slightly underrated, especially its entertaining first season that produces plenty of great laughs along with quite a few intense moments between Diablo and his summoners. Unfortunately, season 2 struggled to replicate its predecessor's charm.

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.

[![best isekai anime](https://static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/best-isekai-anime.jpg)](/best-isekai-anime-to-watch-ranked/) Related

##### [Best Isekai Anime](/best-isekai-anime-to-watch-ranked/ "Best Isekai Anime")

True Isekai fans should make sure they've watched each of these iconic anime from start to finish.

[1](/best-isekai-anime-to-watch-ranked/#threads)

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.

**_Updated August 31, 2024 by Mark Sammut:_** _Isekai anime often incorporate humor, although it tends to be a small part of the overall equation. That said, there are some genuinely funny isekai anime out there, and two more of these shows have been added to this article._

## 25  My Instant Death Ability is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me!

### MyAnimeList: 6.38

Close

##### My Instant Death Ability is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me!

**Japanese Title** Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyou sugite, Isekai no Yatsura ga Marude Aite ni Naranai n desu ga.

**Release Date** January 5, 2024

**Studio** Okuruto Noboru

**Based On** Light Novel

**Creator** Tsuyoshi Fujitaka

**Streaming Service(s)** HIDIVE

Expand

Ever wanted to watch a **comedy isekai anime** that seems to really hate isekai? Well, _My Instant Death Ability_ should be able to scratch that itch. A schoolbus worth of students are summoned to a fantasy world, and they all get abilities except for a small handful. While the weaklings are left to die, one of them happens to be Yogiri, who is just the most overpowered entity to ever grace an anime. With a simple thought, he can kill anyone. It is like he has the Death Note in his head and without any of its restrictions.

_My Instant Death Ability_ largely consists of Yogiri and a female companion traveling across a messy world filled with isekai stock characters and situations. More often than not, the latter meet quick ends at Yogiri's hands; sometimes, he kills off end-of-the-world threats by accident. _My Instant Death Ability_ is very hit-and-miss in terms of humor, with arguably more misses than hits. However, it is a unique type of comedy.

## 24  How Not To Summon A Demon Lord

### MyAnimeList Score: 6.85 (Season 1)

Close

##### How Not to Summon a Demon Lord

**Japanese Title** Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu

**Release Date** July 5, 2018

**Studio** Ajia-do Animation Works, Tezuka Productions, Okuruto Noboru

**Based On** Light Novel

**Creator** Yukiya Murasaki

**Streaming Service(s)**[Crunchyroll](/tag/crunchyroll/)

Expand

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. During the first season, Diablo walks a fine line between being overpowered and a bumbling fool who is just trying to survive in an unprecedented situation. Unfortunately, the second season falls short in the humor department.

## 23  Reborn As A Vending Machine, I Now Wander The Dungeon

### MyAnimeList Score: 6.53

##### Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon

**Japanese Title** Jidou Hanbaiki ni Umarekawatta Ore wa Meikyuu wo Samayou

**Release Date** July 5, 2023

Except for _Mushoku Tensei Season 2_ and, to lesser extents, _The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen_ and _The Great Cleric_, Summer 2023 was not a particularly strong season for isekai. Of those three highlights, only _Mushoku Tensei_ is really worth watching, and even that show tends to be polarizing. To be fair, _The Great Cleric_ has a few fine comedic moments, but the anime is also too slow-paced for its own good. _Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon_ also aired during Summer, and while far from great, it is a pleasant watch.

[![best summer 2023 anime](https://static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/best-summer-2023-anime.jpg)](/best-anime-summer-2023-season/) Related

##### [Best Anime Of Summer 2023 (& Where You Can Stream Them)](/best-anime-summer-2023-season/ "Best Anime Of Summer 2023 (& Where You Can Stream Them)")

Jujutsu Kaisen, Mushoku Tensei, and Horimiya are just some of the Summer 2023's standout anime.

Considering its premise, _Reborn as a Vending Machine_ plays things a bit too safe. This series might have been better served by embracing its potential for weirdness rather than settling for a slow-life comedy tone with spurts of action. Still, there are worse ways to spend a few hours.

## 22  Campfire Cooking In Another World With My Absurd Skill

### MyAnimeList Score: 7.67

Close

##### Campfire Cooking in Another World With My Absurd Skill

**Japanese Title** Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi

**Release Date** January 11, 2023

**Studio** MAPPA

**Based On** Novel & Light Novel

**Creator** Ren Eguchi

**Streaming Service(s)**[Crunchyroll](/tag/crunchyroll/)

Expand

Comedy comes in many forms. Some series go for broke as they seek to leave audiences crying on the floor with laughter; meanwhile, other shows are happy to just paint a constant smile on a viewer's face. [_Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill_ falls within the latter category](https://gamerant.com/shows-like-campfire-cooking-in-another-world/). Tsuyoshi is summoned to a fantasy world in search of heroes; however, his summoners are not particularly impressed with his ability to use a magical version of Amazon, so he is left to his own devices. Using his gourmet skills, Tsuyoshi quickly befriends a powerful Fenrir (Fel) and a cute Slime (Sui), who agree to become his familiars. The anime follows this peculiar trio as they visit a few cities, battle goblins, and eat all sorts of yummy treats.

_Campfire Cooking_ has a carefree tone, almost to the point that it starts to feel like a slice of life. The three main characters are not only likable but also have consistently funny banter, particularly Tsuyoshi and Fel. While rarely laugh-out-loud hilarious, this Winter 2023 **comedy isekai anime** is amusing.

## 21  Princess Connect! Re:Dive

Close

##### Princess Connect! Re:Dive

**Release Date** April 7, 2020

**Studio** CygamesPictures

**Based On** Game

**Streaming Service(s)**[Crunchyroll](/tag/crunchyroll/)

An adaption of a mobile RPG, _Princess Connect! Re:Dive_ drops a player stand-in into a fantasy world, gives him a harem of girls, and sets them along a lovely adventure packed to the brim with humor. _Princess Connect! Re: Dive_'s stars are its trio of main girls, Karyl, Kokkoro, and Pecorine, all of which are delightful and come with some hidden depth.

##### [The Best Anime Series On Max, Ranked](/best-anime-series-stream-hbo-max/ "The Best Anime Series On Max, Ranked")

While not lacking in movies, Max has very few anime shows. Still, Warner Bros' streaming service has some good stuff.

The anime's season 1 devotes most of its time to following the four main characters in their everyday lives, providing very little in the way of plot progression. Humor is very much the name of the game here.

## 20  Drifters

### MyAnimeList Score: 7.89

Close

##### Drifters

**Release Date** October 7, 2016

**Studio** Hoods Entertainment

**Based On** Manga

**Creator** Kouta Hirano

**Streaming Service(s)**

_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.

## 19  Overlord

### MyAnimeList Score: 7.91 (Season 1)

Close

##### Overlord

**Release Date** July 7, 2015

**Studio** Madhouse

**Based On** Novel & Light Novel

**Creator** Kugane Maruyama

**Streaming Service(s)**[Crunchyroll](/tag/crunchyroll/) , Hulu

Like most isekai anime, _Overlord_ isn't predominantly a comedy but uses humor to endear its characters to audiences and as a juxtaposition with the show's many dark moments. Although quite sparse, _Overlord_ can be surprisingly hilarious when it feels like it, with most of the laughs deriving from its protagonist's conflicting natures as a human trapped in the body of a powerful evil wizard.

Momonga (or Ainz) is aided by secondary characters who all have big, lovable personalities, with the [Great Tomb of Nazarick](https://gamerant.com/overlord-great-tomb-of-nazarick-branches-explained/) consisting of almost nothing but darkly hilarious characters. As Ainz grows more comfortable in his new role, the humor arguably lessens slightly in favor of kingdom-building; that said, the anime never loses its sense of humor.

## 18  No Longer Allowed In Another World

### MyAnimeList Score: 7.05

Close

##### No Longer Allowed in Another World

**Japanese Title** Isekai Shikkaku

**Release Date** July 9, 2024

**Studio** AtelierPontdarc

**Based On** Manga

**Creator** Hiroshi Noda

**Streaming Service(s)**[Crunchyroll](/tag/crunchyroll/)

Expand

It was bound to happen eventually – [Osamu Dazai](https://gamerant.com/osamu-dazai-in-anime-isekai-shikkaku-no-longer-allowed-in-another-world/) has his own isekai. Yes, the legendary and influential Japanese author finds himself summoned to a new realm that recruits otherworlders to fight off Demon Lords, a role he is not interested in fulfilling. Driven by a desire to find his lover and interesting subjects to write about, "Sensei" begrudgingly sets out on an adventure alongside the elf who summoned him and a beastgirl. Also, he is constantly trying to kill himself, but he is foiled by his companions and the world in general.

_No Longer Allowed in Another World_ is an isekai parody, one that arguably delivers its best joke in its opening few minutes (no spoilers!). Even after that point, the series regularly pokes fun at the theme's overdone conventions and tropes, all the while telling a pretty enjoyable story that occasionally gets quite poignant. While not regularly laugh-out-loud hilarious, _No Longer Allowed in Another World_ is consistently delightful and clever. Just a charming and **funny isekai anime**.

## 17  So I'm A Spider, So What?

##### So I'm A Spider, So What?

**Japanese Title** Kumo desu ga, Nani ka?

**Release Date** January 8, 2021

**Creator** Okina Baba

**Streaming Service(s)**[Crunchyroll](/tag/crunchyroll/)

Expand

On a seemingly random day, a disaster strikes a class, sending its members to an alternative world. Unfortunately for Kumoko, she wakes up in the body of a spider, a lowly monster stuck in a cave who is destined to die sooner rather than later. Rather than give in to despair, Kumoko energetically sets out to escape her den and make a life for herself.

_So I'm A Spider, So What?_ owes all of its success to its lead. Kumoko is irresistibly charming and has just the right blend of sarcasm, optimism, and fear. Even though the rest of the show is hit-and-miss, the protagonist is more than capable of carrying the anime on her back.

## 16  Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered But Overly Cautious

##### Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious

**Japanese Title** Shinchou Yuusha: Kono Yuusha ga Ore Tueee Kuse ni Shinchou Sugiru

**Release Date** October 2, 2019

**Studio** White Fox

**Based On** Novel & Light Novel

**Creator** Light Tuchihi

**Streaming Service(s)**[Crunchyroll](/tag/crunchyroll/) , Hulu

Expand

Tropes are popular for a reason – they work, provided 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](https://gamerant.com/overpowered-protagonist-trope-overdone/#:~:text=What%20the%20overpowered%20protagonist%20trope,also%20has%20nothing%20to%20gain.), a goddess sidekick, 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. That said, the show eventually provides context for the protagonist's behavior that retroactively adds an element of sadness to the silliness.

## 15  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](https://gamerant.com/that-time-i-got-reincarnated-as-a-slime-every-main-character-age-height-species/)_ 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.

[Villainess anime](https://gamerant.com/best-isekai-villainess-anime-ranked/) have steadily become commonplace as the 2020s have progressed, and a few series lean into comedy. _My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!_ is pretty amusing, and the same can be said for _I'm in Love with the Villainess_, even if not all the humor lands. So far, _Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I'm Not the Demon Lord_ is the theme's **best comedy isekai anime**, solely due to featuring a hilarious and charming protagonist. Reincarnated as the hidden boss of an otome game, Yumiella wants to lie low while attending school, hoping to avoid clashing heads with the heroine and an eventual bad end. Unfortunately, she cannot help but attract attention.

Villainess Level 99 is the newest addition to the isekai villainess landscape, and fans of the show are sure to enjoy these similar isekai anime.

Yumiella's deadpan humor and lovable awkwardness make this anime, allowing the character to be relatable despite her overpowered nature. The protagonist struggles to read social cues, and she generally does not understand that her love for grinding dungeons is not universal. This leads to quite a few memorable interactions with other students, particularly Patrick (Yumiella's love interest) and Alicia (the game's heroine).

A ['90s classic](https://gamerant.com/best-90s-anime/), _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.

**Creator** Kurokata

**Streaming Service(s)**[Crunchyroll](/tag/crunchyroll/)

A standout isekai anime of Winter 2024, _The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic_ started and ended strong while delivering a few of the season's biggest laughs. Ken is accidentally summoned to another world alongside two of his classmates who were chosen to act as heroes by a kingdom preparing for a war. Once trapped there, Ken learns that he can use healing magic, a turn of events that ends with the teenager joining a ragtag unit led by the strict Rose. Determined to transform this student into a battle-ready medic, Rose puts Ken through the wringer, and their relationship is both adversarial and oddly wholesome.

_The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic_ is at its best when focusing on humor. Ken and Rose have big personalities that play off each other well, and they are both pretty reliable forces for slapstick comedy. The secondary characters are also funny in their own right, particularly the heroes. As funny as this isekai anime can be, _The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic_ loses some points for including a stretch of episodes that focus entirely on drama and action, and they are just fine.

[Winter 2023 had a surprisingly strong lineup of isekai anime](https://gamerant.com/anime-winter-2023-season-guide-previews-reviews/), and _Handyman Saitou_ was among the season's more original entries in the genre. As its title suggests, the series revolves around a handyman who is teleported to a new world with his toolkit intact. He gains no fantastical or overpowered abilities, but his unique skillset proves to be helpful to his party. Saitou also acts as the comedic straightman to the rest of the characters, particularly the wizard Morlock who basically strikes a double act with the Earthling.

_Handyman Saitou_ is a show of two halves. Initially, the anime plays out like a skit-based comedy, with each episode chronicling a few short misadventures. Eventually, the series adopts a more conventional structure, which also comes with a shift toward a more serious tone.

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.

[Kon Hokaze winds up in a game](https://gamerant.com/best-isekai-anime-game-world/) 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.

### MyAnimeList Score: 7.74 (Season 1)

Close

##### The Devil Is a Part-Timer!

**Japanese Title** Hataraku Maou-sama!

**Release Date** April 4, 2013

**Studio** White Fox, Studio 3Hz

**Based On** Light Novel

**Creator** Satoshi Wagahara

**Streaming Service(s)**[Crunchyroll](/tag/crunchyroll/) , Hulu , Tubi

_The Devil Is a Part-Timer!_ is a [reverse isekai](https://gamerant.com/best-reverse-isekai-anime/) since the demonic protagonist, Sadao Maou, is sent to Earth. 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, crafting a fish-out-of-water story that felt fresh when the light novel and anime debuted.

More importantly, the series does not present an especially exaggerated depiction of Fast Food life; in fact, it is quite grounded. The work's mundane nature contrasts beautifully with the over-the-top characters, granting the perfect juxtaposition for hilarity to ensue. Sadly, the long-awaited season 2 failed to capture the magic of its predecessor on nearly every level, including humor. While the original season holds up as one of the **funniest isekai anime** of all time, the sequels are gradually chipping away at the franchise's legacy.

## 7  Isekai Quartet

### MyAnimeList Score: 7.38 (Season 1)

Close

##### Isekai Quartet

**Release Date** April 9, 2019

**Studio** Studio PuYUKAI

**Streaming Service(s)**[Crunchyroll](/tag/crunchyroll/)

Is this cheating? This feels like cheating. _Isekai Quartet_ brings together some of the most popular isekai shows 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 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](https://gamerant.com/isekai-anime-watch-after-rezero-season-2/). While the anime is still funny in a vacuum, familiarity with the original shows is recommended to fully appreciate _Isekai Quartet_.

## 6  KamiKatsu: Working For God In A Godless World

### MyAnimeList Score: 6.76

Close

##### KamiKatsu: Working For God In A Godless World

**Japanese Title** Kaminaki Sekai no Kamisama Katsudou

**Release Date** April 6, 2023

**Studio** Studio Palette

**Based On** Manga

**Creator** Aoi Akashiro

**Streaming Service(s)**[Crunchyroll](/tag/crunchyroll/)

_KamiKatsu_ has terrible CG monsters, a few truly detestable characters, and a willingness to embrace stupidity with every fiber of its being. The anime does not leave the greatest of first impressions since, initially, it can be difficult to tell what is meant to be an intentional joke; however, after a few episodes, it becomes clear _KamiKatsu_ knows exactly what it is doing, and the anime does not care what anyone thinks.

While the show's self-aware nods to its low budget produce some huge laughs, _KamiKatsu_ is also funny on a narrative and character level. Yukito, the protagonist who reawakens in a world with no concept of gods, is unapologetically manipulative, particularly to Mitama, the goddess who quickly arrives to help her favorite follower. Speaking of the deity, she is an absolute riot who is nearly always doing something hilarious, even when she is just in the background of scenes.
