The year 2022 will have been rich in anime and several new features, such as Spy x Family, are already a fan-favorite masterclass. Genre isekaifor its part, has not been outdone, in particular thanks to the fourth season ofOverlord. The fall season could well continue this momentum and is likely to surprise us.

Although theisekai is often the victim of many controversies, it remains a genre particularly appreciated by the otaku community. Several licenses are also particularly expected for this fall, to the delight of viewers. After taking stock of the most anticipated romantic comedies of the fall, we take stock of the isekai!

Reincarnated as a Sword

As usual, Reincarnated as a Sword is above all a light novel. This series is also very popular since it has sold more than 1.8 million copies so far. The story is quite original since the main character, instead of being reincarnated as a warrior or powerful mage in another world, finds himself reincarnated as a sword. Unconventional, even for a isekai.

But it doesn’t stop there. As the sword uses his ability to fly to hunt demons, his ability stops working as he had crashed into the ground in order to take a break. Distraught, desperate, waiting for someone to help him, it is a young girl with cat ears, Fran, who will come to his rescue. Or rather who will use it in order to survive. Together, they will go in search of answers to their questions.

Me, when I’m reincarnated as a slime

Reincarnation is one of the major themes in theisekai and the series Me, when I’m reincarnated as a slime is certainly the most representative of the genre. Like the main character of Reincarnated as a Sword, the protagonist of this series, Satoru Mikami, is mortally wounded. When he wakes up in a cave, he realizes that he has been reincarnated as low level slime in another world. But who says low level, does not necessarily mean low. Indeed, Satoru quickly realizes that, much like Kirby, he can use abilities and take on the appearance of almost anything he devours.

In the present case, Me, when I’m reincarnated as a slime has already been adapted in two seasons and it is not a third season that is expected, but a feature film. The latter should also be released in November in Japanese cinemas and international distribution should arrive in the course of 2023.

Iruma at the school of demons

We change the main theme, let’s move on to the slice of life genre with Iruma at the school of demons. Far from reincarnation, we follow here Iruma, a young boy whom his parents simply sold to a demon for a little money. He will therefore now have to live like a demon, but also, and above all, go to school in the world of demons. A place where many diabolical creatures go to study alongside Iruma who will therefore have to conceal his human nature.

After two seasons, the third season of the series Iruma at the school of demons should be broadcast from October 8 on Crunchyroll.
