University student Kaneki Ken ends up in a hospital as a result of an accident, where he is mistakenly transplanted with the organs of one of the ghouls - monsters that feed on human flesh. Now he himself becomes one of them, and for people he turns into an outcast subject to destruction. But can he become one of the other ghouls? Or is there no more room for him in the world now? This anime will tell about the fate of Kaneki and the impact he will have on the future of Tokyo, where there is a continuous war between two species.
The continent that lies in the center of the Ignola ocean is the large central one and four more - Southern, Northern, Eastern and Western, and the gods themselves look after it, and it is called Ente Isla.
And there is a name that plunges anyone on Ente Isla into Horror - the Lord of Darkness Mao.
He is the master of the other world where all the dark creatures live.
He is the embodiment of fear and horror.
The Lord of Darkness Mao declared war on the human race and sowed death and destruction throughout the continent of Ente Isla.
The Lord of Darkness was served by 4 powerful generals.
Adramelech, Lucifer, Alciel and Malacoda.
The four Demon Generals led the attack on the 4 parts of the continent. However, a hero appeared and spoke out against the army of the underworld. The hero and his comrades defeated the troops of the Lord of Darkness in the west, then Adramelech in the north and Malacoda in the south. The hero led the united army of the human race and launched an attack on the central continent where the castle of the Lord of Darkness stood...
Yato is a wandering Japanese god in the form of a thin, blue-eyed youth in a tracksuit. In Shintoism, the power of a deity is determined by the number of believers, but our hero has no temple, no priests, all donations fit into a sake bottle. The guy in the neckerchief works as a handyman, painting advertisements on the walls, but things are going very badly. Even the tongue-in-cheek Mayu, who worked as a shinki—Yato’s Sacred Weapon—for many years, left her master. And without weapons, the younger god is no stronger than an ordinary mortal magician; he has to (what a shame!) hide from evil spirits. And who needs such a celestial being anyway?
One day, a pretty high school girl, Hiyori Iki, threw herself under a truck to save some guy in black. It ended badly - the girl did not die, but gained the ability to “leave” her body and walk on the “other side.” Having met Yato there and recognizing the culprit of her troubles, Hiyori convinced the homeless god to heal her, for he himself admitted that no one can live long between worlds. But, having gotten to know each other better, Iki realized that the current Yato did not have enough strength to solve her problem. Well, you need to take matters into your own hands and personally guide the tramp on the right path: first, find a weapon for the unlucky one, then help him earn money, and then, you see, what happens. It’s not for nothing that they say: what a woman wants, God wants!

There are many dormitories at Suimei University Arts High School, and there is also the Sakura Apartment House. While hostels have strict rules, everything is possible at Sakura, which is why its local nickname is “madhouse.” Since in art genius and madness are always somewhere nearby, the inhabitants of the “cherry orchard” are talented and interesting guys who are too far out of the “swamp”. Take, for example, the noisy Misaki, who sells her own anime to major studios, her friend and playboy screenwriter Jin, or the reclusive programmer Ryunosuke, who communicates with the world only via the Internet and telephone. Compared to them, the main character Sorata Kanda is a simpleton who ended up in a “psychiatric hospital” just for... loving cats!
Therefore, Chihiro-sensei, the head of the dormitory, instructed Sorata, as the only sane guest, to meet her cousin Mashiro, who was transferring to their school from distant Britain. The fragile blonde seemed like a real bright angel to Kanda. True, at a party with new neighbors, the guest behaved stiffly and said little, but the newly minted admirer attributed everything to understandable stress and fatigue from the road. Only real stress awaited Sorata in the morning when he went to wake up Mashiro. The hero realized with horror that his new friend, a great artist, was absolutely out of this world, that is, she was not even able to dress herself! And the insidious Chihiro is right there - from now on, Kanda will forever look after her sister, because the guy has already practiced on cats!

In the 21st century, the world community finally managed to systematize the art of magic and raise it to a new level. Those who are able to use magic after completing the ninth grade in Japan are now welcome in magic schools - but only if applicants pass the exam. The quota for admission to the First School (Hachioji, Tokyo) is 200 students, the best hundred are enrolled in the first department, the rest are in the reserve, in the second, and teachers are assigned only to the first hundred, “Flowers”. The rest, the “Weeds,” learn on their own. At the same time, there is always an atmosphere of discrimination in the school, because even the forms of both departments are different.
Shiba Tatsuya and Miyuki were born 11 months apart, making them the same year in school. Upon entering the First School, his sister finds himself among the Flowers, and his brother among the Weeds: despite his excellent theoretical knowledge, the practical part is not easy for him.
In general, we are waiting for the study of a mediocre brother and an exemplary sister, as well as their new friends - Chiba Erika, Saijo Leonhart (or just Leo) and Shibata Mizuki - at the school of magic, quantum physics, the Tournament of Nine Schools and much more...

The ghoul race has existed since time immemorial. Its representatives are not at all against people, they even love them - mainly in their raw form. Lovers of human flesh are outwardly indistinguishable from us, strong, fast and tenacious - but there are few of them, so ghouls have developed strict rules for hunting and camouflage, and violators are punished themselves or quietly handed over to fighters against evil spirits. In the age of science, people know about ghouls, but as they say, they are used to it. The authorities do not consider cannibals a threat; moreover, they view them as an ideal basis for creating super-soldiers. Experiments have been going on for a long time...
The main character Ken Kaneki faces a painful search for a new path, because he realized that people and ghouls are similar: it’s just that some literally eat each other, others figuratively. The truth of life is cruel, it cannot be changed, and the one who does not turn away is strong. And then somehow!
In the world of Hunter x Hunter, there is a class of people called Hunters who, using psychic powers and trained in all manner of fighting, explore the wild corners of the mostly civilized world. The main character, a young man named Gon (Gun), is the son of the great Hunter himself. His father mysteriously disappeared many years ago, and now, having grown up, Gon (Gong) decides to follow in his footsteps. Along the way he finds several companions: Leorio, an ambitious medical doctor whose goal is to get rich. Kurapika is the only survivor of his clan, whose goal is revenge. Killua is the heir to a family of assassins whose goal is training. Together they achieve their goal and become Hunters, but this is only the first step on their long journey... And ahead is the story of Killua and his family, the story of Kurapika’s revenge and, of course, training, new tasks and adventures! The series stopped with Kurapika's revenge... What awaits us next after all these years?
The action takes place in an alternate reality where the existence of demons has long been recognized; There is even an island in the Pacific Ocean - “Itogamijima”, where demons are full citizens and have equal rights with people. However, there are also human magicians who hunt them, in particular, vampires. An ordinary Japanese schoolboy named Akatsuki Kojou, for some unknown reason, turned into a “purebred vampire,” the fourth in number. He begins to be followed by a young girl, Himeraki Yukina, or "blade shaman", who is supposed to monitor Akatsuki and kill him if he gets out of control.
The story tells of a young man named Saitama, who lives in a world ironically similar to ours. He is 25, bald and handsome, and, moreover, so strong that with one blow he can annihilate all dangers to humanity. He is looking for himself on the difficult path of life, simultaneously handing out slaps to monsters and villains.
Now you have to play the game. What kind of game it will be will be decided by roulette. The bet in the game will be your life. After death, people who died at the same time go to Queen Decim, where they have to play a game. But in fact, what is happening to them here is the Heavenly Judgment.
Each person himself searches for the meaning of his existence. Some people live for their family, some for money, and some for their high position in society. But life is not as simple as it seems at first glance, because you have to answer for every action. This axiom was understood by the top manager of one of the large Japanese corporations, who controlled the destinies of his subordinates, based only on efficiency and ignoring any moral aspects. And even in the face of imminent death, as well as under the gaze of higher powers, he refused to change his views on life, paying with the immortality of his soul.
Born in the body of Tanya Degurshaf, a young orphan from an alternative world, he lights up with the flame of vengeance on the Arbiter of Fates - the all-powerful Being X, without changing his views even after death. Now Tanya is forced to survive in the cruel world of an alternative wartime Europe, trying by any means to achieve a high position, using all the resources and opportunities provided. However, she should not forget about higher powers, against which even omnipotent magic is powerless.
=================
Somewhere in a parallel world there is a war going on. In the front rows, among the stern men, in command of quite a whole detachment, was a young blond girl named Tanya Degruchova. Well, or at least it seems so from the outside. Few people know that she is actually him. While still in Japan, just another representative of the office plankton, albeit a very successful one, he was “lucky” to come across something calling itself God. And he took and reborn Him in the form of that same girl, and even in another world, mired in war. Now He has only one goal - by any means to achieve no less a position than He occupied in his homeland.
=================
A little girl named Tanya Degurechova finds herself on the front of a bloody war - blonde curls, doll-like features, huge blue eyes, almost transparent white skin... Tanya mercilessly deals with the enemy and, with a cute lisp, gives orders to the troops. In fact, this angelic creature was once a highly paid manager in distant Japan, who somehow managed to anger an angry deity and, as a result, was reborn into a little girl. But the appearance may be new, but the essence is old: a seasoned corporate wolf, even in the body of a loli, values efficiency most of all and strives for promotion, which will make Tanya the most dangerous creature among the sorcerers of the Imperial Army.
=================
A little girl, with blond hair, blue eyes and snow-white skin, flies over the battlefield and mercilessly destroys her opponents. Her name is Tanya Degurchaf. Tanya was one of the top managers of a corporation in Japan, but, by the will of an angry god, she was reborn as a little girl. Tanya puts efficiency and career advancement above all else, and in the future she will become the strongest mage in the Imperial Army.
=================
Any organization operates according to rules. As long as you follow these simple rules, your life will be easy and pleasant. And for this he needs neither God nor faith. This truth was realized by our hero, who works as an office worker and makes money by telling people that they are fired. Until one day the Lord, who is not happy with this, intervenes in his fate. And so the office worker finds himself in another reality in the body of a little girl in an orphanage, and there is a war going on outside.
I decided to pay attention to such a popular genre today, in which characters fall from the real world into parallel ones, aka Parallel worlds anime. These could be computer game universes into which players unexpectedly find themselves drawn, or fantasy worlds of unknown origin. Why is this genre so popular? There are actually many reasons, but the prevailing one is that The audience of gamers and fantasy fans overlaps very closely with the anime audience in general. In addition, the main characters in such titles are often made to resemble the average viewer who, having found himself in a parallel world, unexpectedly reveals his best side and becomes necessary and important to everyone. This makes the viewer empathize with the characters with redoubled force and gives such a sweet, but false hope that being a nerd will sooner or later pay off and you will become a cool pepper that everyone will respect and love. Well, in this top I tried to highlight the best. I present to your attention Top 10 anime about parallel worlds.
10.
And the list begins with a very unusual title, whose heroes are famous historical figures, who, as it turned out, were transferred to a parallel world by a mysterious force before their death. You will watch the adventures of three famous samurai who decided to take the reins of the lands that opened up before them, inhabited by elves, gnomes and other fairy-tale creatures. IN Rich graphics, increased bloodthirstiness, provocative humor and elements of tactics and strategy are intertwined in an interesting way. I do not rate this title higher because there are too many unresolved plot issues left in it, which, however, can be clarified in the second season, if one appears. Oh yes, the humor in Drifters is really not for everyone.

This was the last day of operation of the servers of the online game Igdrassil. The story tells the story of Momonga, a player of the maximum level one hundredth, the head of the most nagibator guild on the server, which owns the great tomb of Nazarick. He decided not to leave the server until the last moment. And so, at the moment when the servers were supposed to shut down, something strange happened - all NPCs received freedom of action and began to move around locations without additional instructions. The game world has become real, and who, if not the most powerful player, can control it? And his faithful servants will help him with this. The Lord has the same problems as- a large number of unrevealed characters and a ragged, unfinished plot. In addition, Overlord clearly went overboard with unnecessary fan service. But overall, the anime is very good.
8.
Roughly speaking, the events of the anime do not take place in a parallel world, but on an isolated island, but I don’t think that this is significant. The protagonist of Btooom! is Ryota Sakamoto, a twenty-two-year-old unemployed man sitting on his mother's neck. Completely useless in everyday life, Sakamoto is the top Japanese player in the popular online game Blast, which is played by over three million people around the world. The game is based on team battles in which players fight with different types of grenades, so strength in the game does not matter, it is all about skill and tactics. And Sakamoto is very good at this. In real life he is a nobody, but in the game everyone loves and respects him, he even has a virtual girlfriend. But one day his life changes dramatically - he wakes up on an island, there is a pack of grenades in his bag, and a crystal embedded in his hand. To get off the island alive, he will have to collect seven crystals, which can only be obtained from the corpses of people abandoned on the same island. Strengths of Btooom! I would say dynamism and art, and the weak ones would be the fan service, the relative cliché of the plot and a couple of banal characters. Be that as it may, the anime is a breeze to watch.
7.
Let the fighting begin. Yes I betSAOto a low place despite his incredible popularity. And why? Yes, because this is one of the most (if not the most) overrated titles that have ever been released. I think there is no need to explain what this anime is about: a guy with the nickname Kirito gets stuck in an online game with complete immersion, from which you can only get out by completing it to the end. But there is one condition: if you die in the game, you die in real life. Interesting idea, isn't it? Indeed, the first arc of the title looks like a breeze. But what happens after - in the second part of the first season and almost the entire second season - defies reasonable explanation. The anime actually merges into an ordinary fantasy, consisting of stereotypes and fan service. These shortcomings are also present in the first half of the title, but there they are offset by the dynamics of the plot, high-quality art, a powerful soundtrack and the originality of the idea. You need to get acquainted with SAO at least in order to form your own opinion and understand that not every promoted anime deserves its popularity. INSAO There are indeed many advantages, but the number of shortcomings is too great to ignore, and the more titles you watch, the more noticeable they become.
6.
What happens if a cruel Japanese clerk, who holds an important position in his company, is suddenly thrown under a train by one of his offended clients? Youjo Senki answers this question: he will be transported to the time of World War I in the body of a little girl endowed with magical powers. Another would despair, but he decides to take fate into his own hands and goes to military service, fortunately there is somewhere to fight. Youjo Senki stands out from other titles with its bright and unusual main character and dynamic, albeit simple, plot. But the art and music are about five years behind modern standards. Be that as it may, Youjo Senki is that rare example of a title that is enjoyable to watch despite its kaleidoscope of shortcomings.
5.
Another masterpiece of fine art from the studio A-1 Pictures. Hai to Gensou no Grimgar will tell you the story of a group of misfits, who had to join forces in an unfamiliar and hostile fantasy world into which they were inexplicably thrown. The strengths of the title are amazing art, very diverse music, a well-constructed plot with plenty of dialogue and constantly developing characters. Grimgar has a little bit of everything: drama, comedy, action, and romance; all this is mixed in optimal concentration and looks very harmonious. At first the title contains a lot of unnecessary fan service, but in the end it evolves and rushes forward. In my opinion, Grimgar is greatly underrated.
4.
Another title whose heroes, for an inexplicable reason, find themselves transported to the world of an online game. But, unlike the sameSAO, emphasis inLog Horizonmade not on action, but on how the characters arrange the infrastructure of life in the virtual world. The way they regulate their society. Politics and economics play a significant role in anime. In addition, I find it interesting that the main character in the title is the so-called “gray eminence”, that is, a person who is responsible for important decisions, but who manages everything from the shadows and because of this does not receive the recognition he deserves. In this planLog Horizonstands out strongly from the background of most “pop” titles. Unfortunately, the second season of the anime turned out to be extremely unsuccessful, so after the first season I recommend stopping watching.
3.
One of my favorite fantasy titles, which for various reasons is very much criticized. And yes, one day a gate opened in the center of Tokyo, and various evil creatures climbed out of it, and they began to attack civilians. But the Japanese Self-Defense Forces quickly destroyed the invaders and went through the portal to the other side to establish peaceful relations. Gate clearly, with the proper humor and drama, it demonstrates how two completely different worlds, located at completely different levels of development, get used to each other. Excellent graphics, pleasant characters, unobtrusive but dynamic plot, excellent music - as for me, inGatethere is everything to attract the viewer's attention.
2.
The most sensational and controversial title of 2016 will tell you the story of Japanese hikikomori Subaru Natsuki, transferred to a fantasy world , who turned out to be far from being as friendly as he expected. In addition to the magnificent visual and musical accompaniment, you will find a tense plot filled with unexpected twists, as well as a kaleidoscope of pleasant characters that develop as the story progresses. And let a controversial arc begin in the middle of the title, turning the main character from a brave guy into a sad, hysterical whiner, Re: Zero still remains one of the best titles about traveling to parallel worlds, the atmosphere of which grabs you from the very first episode and holds you until the very end.
1.
In fact, this choice was quite difficult, because I would not call any anime from this list ideal. HoweverNo Game No Lifecame closest to such an honorable title. The anime tells the story of brother and sister Sora and Shiro, who have no equal on Earth in all kinds of games - from tic-tac-toe to MMORPG. One day they receive a mysterious letter inviting them to play a game of chess. Although not without difficulty, Sora and Shiro managed to win, after which they are transported to the fairy-tale world of Disboard, all issues in which are resolved through games (including the fate of states and life and death). There, the brother and sister are given the task of restoring the former greatness of the human race - the weakest in the world of Disbord. No Game No Lifestands out for its bright characters, unusual drawing style, excellent music and a very dynamic plot. The only noticeable shortcomings I would name are the abundance of fan service and the short length of the title.
That's all. I would like to note that the ranking contains titles from a wide variety of genres. In some, the emphasis is on humor, in others on drama, in others on action, and in some, fan service reigns supreme. So I am sure that everyone will find something to their liking. I would like to remind you that this rating reflects only my opinion, and its purpose is only my recommendations, and not the desire to offend anyone or start a holivar. If you don’t see any suitable title in the top, I probably didn’t watch it or didn’t like it. All the best, and look for the best!

Yato is a wandering Japanese god in the form of a thin, blue-eyed youth in a tracksuit. In Shintoism, the power of a deity is determined by the number of believers, but our hero has no temple, no priests, all donations fit into a sake bottle. The guy in the neckerchief works as a handyman, painting advertisements on the walls, but things are going very badly. Even the tongue-in-cheek Mayu, who worked as a shinki—Yato’s Sacred Weapon—for many years, left her master. And without weapons, the younger god is no stronger than an ordinary mortal magician; he has to (what a shame!) hide from evil spirits. And who needs such a celestial being anyway?
One day, a pretty high school girl, Hiyori Iki, threw herself under a truck to save some guy in black. It ended badly - the girl did not die, but gained the ability to “leave” her body and walk on the “other side.” Having met Yato there and recognizing the culprit of her troubles, Hiyori convinced the homeless god to heal her, for he himself admitted that no one can live long between worlds. But, having gotten to know each other better, Iki realized that the current Yato did not have enough strength to solve her problem. Well, you need to take matters into your own hands and personally guide the tramp on the right path: first, find a weapon for the unlucky one, then help him earn money, and then, you see, what happens. It’s not for nothing that they say: what a woman wants, God wants!

There are many dormitories at Suimei University Arts High School, and there is also the Sakura Apartment House. While hostels have strict rules, everything is possible at Sakura, which is why its local nickname is “madhouse.” Since in art genius and madness are always somewhere nearby, the inhabitants of the “cherry orchard” are talented and interesting guys who are too far out of the “swamp”. Take, for example, the noisy Misaki, who sells her own anime to major studios, her friend and playboy screenwriter Jin, or the reclusive programmer Ryunosuke, who communicates with the world only via the Internet and telephone. Compared to them, the main character Sorata Kanda is a simpleton who ended up in a “psychiatric hospital” just for... loving cats!
Therefore, Chihiro-sensei, the head of the dormitory, instructed Sorata, as the only sane guest, to meet her cousin Mashiro, who was transferring to their school from distant Britain. The fragile blonde seemed like a real bright angel to Kanda. True, at a party with new neighbors, the guest behaved stiffly and said little, but the newly minted admirer attributed everything to understandable stress and fatigue from the road. Only real stress awaited Sorata in the morning when he went to wake up Mashiro. The hero realized with horror that his new friend, a great artist, was absolutely out of this world, that is, she was not even able to dress herself! And the insidious Chihiro is right there - from now on, Kanda will forever look after her sister, because the guy has already practiced on cats!

In the 21st century, the world community finally managed to systematize the art of magic and raise it to a new level. Those who are able to use magic after completing the ninth grade in Japan are now welcome in magic schools - but only if applicants pass the exam. The quota for admission to the First School (Hachioji, Tokyo) is 200 students, the best hundred are enrolled in the first department, the rest are in the reserve, in the second, and teachers are assigned only to the first hundred, “Flowers”. The rest, the “Weeds,” learn on their own. At the same time, there is always an atmosphere of discrimination in the school, because even the forms of both departments are different.
Shiba Tatsuya and Miyuki were born 11 months apart, making them the same year in school. Upon entering the First School, his sister finds himself among the Flowers, and his brother among the Weeds: despite his excellent theoretical knowledge, the practical part is not easy for him.
In general, we are waiting for the study of a mediocre brother and an exemplary sister, as well as their new friends - Chiba Erika, Saijo Leonhart (or just Leo) and Shibata Mizuki - at the school of magic, quantum physics, the Tournament of Nine Schools and much more...

Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri (Gate: Our warriors fight there)
An anime about modern warfare, which is an adaptation of the light novel of the same name by Yanai Takumi.
On an ordinary clear day in Japan, in the center of the city, a strange gate opened, from which enemy forces appeared, more reminiscent of the army of ancient Rome. On horseback, armed with swords and shields, they attacked Japanese civilians. However, local self-defense forces were able to repulse the enemy in a timely manner, quickly suppressing the aggressors. But the gate itself has not gone away, and subsequent attacks from outside are not excluded.
Having prepared for war, but hoping to resolve all issues peacefully, Japanese troops established a quick reaction base on the other side of the gate. The unfamiliar land turned out to be full of people of various races and nations, among whom were elves, half-humans and even immortals. And social and technical development did not exceed the level of the Middle Ages.
This is where it was the turn of Senior Lieutenant Yoji Itami, a 33-year-old otaku to the core, to speak. Itami played an important role during the enemy attack from the gate and thus came to the attention of his superiors. Having become the head of a detachment to study local culture and political views, Itami goes to the other side of the gate, involuntarily recruiting exceptional individuals into his team.
