It used to be there would generally be like, one or two must see series a year, maybe one per season. Now there's so goddamn much coming out there's probably at least three to four good shows per season.

The snake throwing one is pretty fun and the one where the protagonist's super-power is her experience with double-entry bookkeeping is also pretty good, partially because the rest of the cast are actually competent at what they do and better at their own drat jobs than the MC despite her out of setting knowledge.

Konosuba.

An isekai set in a world where almost all of its problems arise from throwing dead Japanese teenagers at the previous problems.

Also, you see why the goddess in charge of the afterlife thinks this will work.

(It is because she is stupid.)

It's simple, really. Just have her split her personalities so they can talk to each other as she grinds! It's genius!

I'd like an isekai where the op mc really tries to save the world by eliminating slavery, eating the rich, etc. In a few episodes, they would be bigger threat to the authorities than the demon lord or whatever other generic evil the powerful postpone dealing with.

The spider isekai was very good when it was just the spider MC running around, learning about the world mechanics and barely surviving through guerilla warfare because she sucked at direct fighting. It then became extremely bad when it turned into "hmmm, there is this one weird skill that everyone seems to hate, I wonder what happens when I invest skill points into it....Wow, now I have billion HP, million attack, can slow down time, fire disintegration rays from my eyes and I gained a title of Super Ultra Awesome Dark Queen of Mega Annihilation Apocalypse! That sure is convenient!".

there's the guardians of the flame series, which are novels from the 80's. i'm not sure how well they hold up, though.

Konosuba is super good and redeems Isekai imo. Aqua has got to be one of my favorite characters of all time.

To misquote achewood, if whining was playing the piano, Aqua would be a bold and unpredictable new pianist.

The snake throwing one is Destruction Flag Otome. It’s good, silly fun about a girl who fundamentally misunderstands what sort of isekai she’s in.

The bookeeping one is https://mangadex.org/manga/17720/koushaku-reijou-no-tashinami (also originally a web novel but the manga is being translated at a decent rate) which doesn't really qualify for the above list since she's struggling to keep herself alive within the corrupt nobility so far.

I exaggerate partially, but at the same time allude to stuff that hasn't been scanlated. At the very least they stop slavery and indirectly eat the rich, while also becoming the strongest being in the world
