‘In Another World With My Smartphone,’ also known as ‘Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni,’ is yet another Isekai show. It features the most cliched characters, and even the plot is predictable. If you’ve never seen an Isekai anime before, which is nearly impossible, this one has a lot to offer. However, for those who are well-versed in the sub-genre, this one does not offer anything particularly novel.

Expect little in terms of art because it comes from a lesser-known studio, and the music, for the most part, is fairly dull. ‘In Another World With My Smartphone’ is an anime that you should watch with no expectations, just to pass the time. With its wacky Harem gigs and fanservice, you’ll be amazed at how uplifting it can be. If you like the notion of characters being summoned to a fantastical world, we have a few more titles that you might be interested in. Here’s our picks for the finest anime that are comparable to ‘In Another World With My Smartphone.’ Several of these anime, such as ‘In Another World With My Smartphone,’ are available on Netflix, Crunchyroll, and Hulu.

8. Re: ZERO -Starting Life in Another World (2016 – 2021)

‘Re: Zero’ follows the narrative of Natsuki Subaru, a young kid who is abducted and transported to another world. This is when a magical girl comes to his aid, and in order to repay her, he chooses to assist her in locating a stolen object that she is hunting for. However, things do not go as planned when both of them are slain while searching for the object. Subaru, fortunately, returns to a point zero where he can relive his life and repair everything that went wrong during the first attempt. He utilizes this power to save not only the magical girl’s life, but also the lives of countless more innocents in this strange new world.

The two series have one clear thing in common: they’re both Isekai, in which the main characters, Touya and Subaru, find themselves in other realms. Despite their newfound authority, the lads strive for numerous outcomes and do not limit themselves to a single positive conclusion. Touya from ‘In Another World With My Smartphone’ uses his newfound talents to aid everyone he can. Similarly, Subaru exhibits great bravery and strives to get the best possible outcome from all of his activities. If you’re searching for a time loop anime that reminds you of sci-fi Hollywood classics like ‘Groundhog Day’ and ‘Source Code,’ this is a must-see. Crunchyroll is where you can watch the anime.

7. KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! (2016-)

Satou Kazuma is a typical NEET, having never left his house and receiving no formal schooling. Even so, when it comes to saving the life of a stranger one day, he does not hesitate. Unfortunately for him, the girl he attempted to save was not in any danger, and to make matters worse, he dies while performing this deed. He is then repeatedly teased by a goddess named Aqua, who, pity begets sympathy, grants him a second chance. She tells him that he must kill the Demon Lord in this new planet in order to return to his normal existence. She also gives him the choice of selecting any one of his abilities to employ in carrying out this job. But, in his desperation and aggravation, he ends up asking for the Goddess’ company rather than a weapon or ability. Aqua’s entire plot backfires on her, and she is compelled to accompany him on his little expedition. To make matters worse, two more unpleasant chicks accompany him on his journey.

Both ‘In Another World With My Smartphone’ and ‘KonoSuba’ are Isekai that illustrate the involvement of a Godly figure when their protagonists are transferred to another world. Furthermore, the two protagonists become overly accustomed with their powers far too early, and rather being panicking in their new environments, they actually begin rather well. However, because ‘KonoSuba’ is more of an Ecchi, the main character is incredibly perverted, and his naughty activities frequently put him in jail. If you’re searching for an Isekai with a lot of hilarious fanservice, this is the anime to see. The anime is available to watch on HBO Max and Crunchyroll.

6. No Game No Life (2014)

Sora and Shiru are two Otaku twins who spend their days playing internet games. The two shut-ins, who go by the username “Blank,” have achieved legendary status in the gaming industry. In practically every game, even the world’s most famous gamers increasingly fear playing against their competence. However, after receiving an odd email, the two of them are transported to a distant planet where they encounter Yet, the God of Games. The God of Games now wants them to assemble all of the world’s races and then meet him in a game of chess.

As the title suggests, the protagonist in ‘Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni’ carries his cellphone with him in the new realm to which he is summoned. Similarly, in ‘No Game No Life,’ the two brothers not only carry their phones, but also other technical devices that may be useful to them. The ramifications of modern comforts have been addressed in both the episodes.

5. Sword Art Online (2012 – 2020)

‘Sword Art Online,’ one of the best anime shows in the Isekai genre, was the first to promote the notion of gaming anime. Many shows have tried to imitate it since its release, but none have been able to live up to its high standards. It is set in the near future and centers on a teenage gamer named Kirito. He is one of ten thousand lucky children who will be able to enjoy virtual gaming in the future. Unfortunately, after entering the gaming world via “Nerve Gear,” the kids discover that they are trapped and will have to learn to survive if they ever wish to leave.

The characters in ‘Sword Art Online,’ unlike ‘In Another Universe With My Smartphone,’ are not physically present in their new world. However, death is a serious threat in both series, and each wrong action a character takes might have disastrous effects. Furthermore, the primary heroes of both series act as leaders in their new universe, courageously accepting any duty that is placed upon them. ‘SOA’ also has some Ecchi, which plays a significant part in lightening its tone from time to time. The anime can be viewed on Funimation or VRV.

4. Dog Days (2011)

Izumi Cinque is a typical high school student who enjoys gaming. When the people of a fantastical realm begin fighting each other through games, Princess Millhiore of the Biscotti kingdom is compelled to summon Izumi from the human world. She expects him to be their rescuer, and while it takes him some time to adjust to the new world’s animal-eared humans, he is able to prove that he is a true hero.

Touya and Cinque, the main protagonists in both anime episodes, decide to make the best of their current position rather than fleeing it in dread. They also encounter unusual animal people, and they stand out not only because of their appearance, but also because of their newly acquired talents. ‘Dog Days,’ like ‘In Another World With My Smartphone,’ is a playful cartoon that will undoubtedly make you smile.

3. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (2018-)

Satoru Mikami is a middle-aged man who does not despise his routine life but is also not satisfied with it. But all changes when he is attacked on the street by an assailant one day. Before dying, he begins to hear weird voices, and as he opens his eyes, he finds himself in a bizarre new planet with the physical appearance of slime. He then discovers that he has the capacity to duplicate the appearance of anything simply by swallowing it. With a new sense of purpose, he chooses to leave his old monotonous life behind and use his newfound powers to make some changes in this new planet.

Another popular Isekai title is ‘That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.’ This one, like ‘In Another World With My Smartphone,’ has a more comedic tone with a highly unusual protagonist who is driven by a strong sense of purpose. Both characters feel great after escaping into their new realms and don’t even consider turning back. ‘That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime’ is another overhyped fantasy comedy that is still fairly amusing. All episodes are available for viewing on Funimation and VRV.

2. Outbreak Company (2013)

The plot of ‘Outbreak Company’ revolves around a boy named Kanou Shinichi, who musters the nerve to propose to his childhood buddy. Unfortunately for him, he is rejected and is completely broken. While seeking for a job online, he comes across an odd yet intriguing ad for an Otaku. He decides to give it a go, and being the die-hard Otaku that he is, he effortlessly aced the interview. This is the point at which he is miraculously transported to an other universe where the government wants him to spread Otaku culture. He accepts the challenge and embarks on a mission to publicize his one true interest.

‘Outbreak Company,’ like ‘In Another World With My Smartphone,’ eventually devolves into a standard harem comedy. Instead of criticizing, the main protagonists in both shows become thrilled by their new realities. They also have a strong feeling of purpose because, in comparison to the real world, they are viewed as heroes after being summoned. If you look closely, you’ll discover a lot of cultural references in both. The anime is available to watch on VRV and HIDIVE.

1. Trinity Seven (2014)

‘Trinity Seven,’ another Harem Comedy, centres around a character named Kasuga Arata. Arata, like Touya from ‘In Another World With My Smartphone,’ demonstrates exceptional skill in regulating his newfound skills. Touya’s harem of girls is significantly smaller than Arata’s, but he’s no less of a ladies man. ‘Trinity Seven’ is not an Isekai, but it is similar to others on this list. It contains a typical complicated magical system as well as a lot of fan service. Despite its hackneyed High School setting, what makes it truly enjoyable are its oddball characters, who deliver some surprisingly new Ecchi humor. A must-see for anyone who appreciated ‘In Another World With My Smartphone.’ The anime is available to watch on Funimation or HIDIVE.
