Do you have the impression that there are too many Isekai animes? What are they saturated with? This data will make you think differently, perhaps, when you discover that only 12% of 2022 anime are isekai.

According to the most recent issue of Newtype magazine, in 2012, 10 years ago, of the 189 anime produced that year, 7 were isekai, that is, 4% of anime.

In 2017 we had 5 isekai animes out of 243, that is, only 2% of anime in 2017 were isekai.

Already in this year 2022, of the 211 anime produced until the summer season (the current one), 25 are isekai, giving a total of 12% of isekai anime this year.

Don’t rely on the anime shown on MAL, there is a difference in the amount of anime that appears on MAL and anime that is broadcast on Japanese TV. It’s just like the manga, here we only see a small part of the huge amount of titles that are released there.
