Isekai animation featuring lovely female friendship

summation

• A friendship-centered story from another world can provide a refreshing change to the harem dynamic.

• Female characters with depth and growth make isekai stories more enjoyable.

• The discovered family and strong bonds between the characters strengthen the isekai anime's storyline.

Isekai is well known for using harem or reverse harem mechanics to emphasize the fantasy elements of its stories. But some of the best relationships are simple friendships between characters. In action-oriented comics, this is seen as a way to fight together, but in everyday stories, it is depicted much more clearly.

Girls and women are often misrepresented in anime and manga, so it's always nice to see content that can actually pass the Bechdel test. This is especially true in isekai. It's much more interesting if you allow the female characters to have their own growth and story, separate from the male protagonist. They become fully developed people rather than generic archetypes and cliched caricatures.

I've been killing slimes for 300 years and maxed out their level

Slow and steady wins the race

Some of the most overpowered characters are the ones who don't know they're being overpowered. Azusa, reincarnated as an immortal witch, has spent nearly 300 years doing nothing but collecting herbs and killing slimes, but after doing the same thing for so long, she has maxed out her level and all her skills. When it became known that her level was 99, challengers from all over the world came to spar with her. So she starts getting into all sorts of strange situations.

It only takes a few episodes before Azusa essentially gets the whole family together. She has a dragon as her maid and apprentice, twin girls born from the souls of slimes she killed, an elf who sells energy drinks, and an occasional demon. It's a true found family and they just enjoy living together.

Didn’t they tell you to have average abilities in your next life?!

Proof that average is subjective

Few people pass up the opportunity to be overwhelmed. That's isekai, after all, and Misato Kurihara was so conspicuous that she spent her entire life alone. She had no close friends or interesting experiences in her short life. Once reincarnation is allowed, she asks God to make her average so she can live an ordinary life like everyone else. The problem is that the average was calculated for all creatures, including the powerful Elder Dragon. As a result, she became half as strong as the Elder Dragon.

The story may begin as a solo adventure, but the plot mainly focuses on the time she spends at the hunter school, where she forms a party with three other girls. Rayna, Pauline, Mavis. They train together, quest together, and even share the same room. It's a cute animation that shows these four girls getting to know each other while doing everyday things like shopping or going to the beach.

By selling food, toys, beauty products, and more on Earth, she was able to make a decent profit and even retire early. To achieve her goal, she opens a convenience store downtown.

When it comes to friendship, Mitsuha meets a lot of people through her business, but there aren't many people she is close enough to call her friends. They are just customers. However, there are several people who make good memories with her, such as noble Iris, Princess Sabine, and a group of mercenaries. But her oldest friend is Colette, a villager who saved her when she first moved to the other world.
