I kid you not, in middle school I read what I now realize was a Holocaust isekai. I can’t remember the title nor anything that happened, except that the main character is a Jewish girl celebrating Hanaka or some shit and suddenly wakes up during WWII. The book ends with her walking into a fucking gas chamber and then returning to her real life.

Oh shit, I remember that. At the end it turns out her friend in the concentration camp was her actual grandmother and she was experiencing the life of the girl who saved her grandma from getting gassed.
 
Isekai (Japanese: 異世界, transl. "different world" or "otherworld") is an "accidental travel" genre of light novels, manga, anime and video games that revolve around a normal person from Earth being transported to, reborn or otherwise trapped in a parallel universe or fantasy world.

In some versions, the protagonist is depicted as being already familiar with the parallel world, as it is often a fictional universe from a fictitious work published in the protagonist's origin universe (see Sonic Storybook Series). It is equally likely the parallel world may also be unknown to them, as is the case with 'Reverse Isekai' stories such as Sonic X, No Game No Life, and Isekai Quartet. The new universe can be an entirely different alien world where only the protagonist retains knowledge and has any memory of their former life, as in Saga of Tanya the Evil and Ascendance of a Bookworm. How the protagonist gets there can vary greatly: in some media, they are reincarnated into that world after dying; in others, they are summoned or teleported to that world by accidental or intended reasons, as in the case of Isekai Cheat Magician; or they may unknowingly have walked through a portal connecting two worlds, as in the case of Spirited Away and Inuyasha. In Sorcerous Stabber Orphen, an entire population of humans appeared in the magically created world was transported from Earth and got partially mixed with local dragonlike Heavenly Beings.[1] It may also be one where a formerly virtual world turns into a real one, such as in Log Horizon and Overlord.
 
I'd recommend one which you should watch if you want to have chill & wholesome time with an Isekai anime.

Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko

Basically, a guy dies & is reincarnated by gods in magical world. Here's the twist tho, the gods just told him to be himself & enjoy living his new life as he wants to. Just a chill, fresh isekai anime about a man living his life in peace & magic
 
If you're planning on consuming Re:Zero and want the most out of it, its best to read the web novel over the light novel or the anime. The anime skipped a lot of fairly important things including Subaru agreeing to Rem's confession and Al also being isekai'd and the editor thought that arc 4 was too long so they scrapped a good chunk of the investigation bit. You also get to see Roswaal get strangled and punched in the face.

There's also a shit ton of side content that's honestly fairly important to the plot and has a lot of interesting info about the world and surrounding countries. I have no idea why its side content.

Mushoku Tensei is really good this season, and Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy is getting an anime adaption soon. Ascendence of a Bookworm is also really neat, Dead Mount Death Play is a reverse isekai urban fantasy that's pretty good too.
 
If you don't mind older anime, watch Fushigi Yuugi: The Mysterious Play. It's a romance isekai. It was one of the first anime series I watched and pretty good. A girl finds a mysterious book and enters that world. Amazon Prime has it and I'm sure it's easily available on nyaa as well.

It's quite dated, but yeah, there's something to it that makes it stand out as a shoujo. Kinda hard to get into at first, though.

The sequel OVA, in the meantime, is lol quite something. The intentions weren't exactly made clear on first watch, and that might've been the anime's fault.

Watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Then Monster.

Congratulations, you're done with anime.

I also don't know what an isekai is if Hellsing is supposed to be one.

I'm guessing you could call Hellsing an isekai since it has an ordinary police woman getting turned into a vampire and joining a force that's supposed to fight them, but in that case, you could call every urban fantasy story involving the discovery of monsters coexisting with humans an isekai.

I could have sworn I just commented on another Isekai thread recently. Oh well. I'll just say that I second Escaflowne, although I believe it might have felt less rushed had its creators been able to do the 39 episode run they originally wanted instead of the 26 episode series that they got.

I also nominate The Twelve Kingdoms, although it has a huge obstacle to overcome with its main protagonist. Most people bow out after a couple of episodes because the main character is an excessively whiny doormat (even by Japanese standards,) but the entire series is about how she leaves that all behind and eventually grows into a powerful, capable leader. The rewards of getting past the first few episodes are well worth it in my opinion, because the series has a well-constructed world and has some strong (not Mary Sue) female characters. It also has a very realistic take on how screwed ordinary people without superpowers would be in a primitive war-torn magical world.
 
As an eurofag I'm sick of cookiecutter medieval eurofantasy Isekai. It's mostly the same DnD/RPG-like shit. There are so many other countries which can be used for fantasy settings like Egypt or hell what about Steampunk (which is sadly a niche hobby even in Japan) ?

Bringing DnD to Japan in the 80s was a mistake. That's where it all began.

I wish more would tackle space. The only one I can recently recall is "I Woke up Piloting the Strongest Starship, So I became a Space Mercenary," and they still managed to cram a fucking elf into it.
