Isekai anime has become one of the most popular genres among anime fans with its unique concept of transporting characters from their regular world to a fantasy world, parallel universe, or game. In the case of reverse isekai, it’s a character from one of those worlds mentioned earlier that comes to the mundane world.
While watching anime in its original Japanese language with English subtitles is preferred for most fans, some prefer to watch the dubbed version to immerse themselves without the hassle of trying to read subtitles. These are some of the best English dubbed Isekai anime based on the quality of voice acting and overall viewing experience.
