I’m not too enthused with isekai as a concept, as I typically think of them as “fantasy with extra steps”, but what anime are good because it is an isekai?

Good because it is an isekai? It’s when they address the isekai-ed character’s previous life and make it an actual plot point.
It’s probably no coincidence that some of these isekais are all-time favourites of anime fans:
Personal favourite:
I really couldn’t stomach Tanya. I couldn’t tell if it was a romanticization of fascism or a condemnation of it. I might be edgy, and I might be an atheist, but I’m not THAT kind of edgy atheist.
I’m pretty sure it’s a condemnation of fascism and war in general, the most recent season especially.
The war stalls and everything turns to shit basically.
Not only that, Tanya just wants the war to end so she can live off a cushy officer job. She’s a pragmatist, she has no romance for fighting.
She’s still fucking evil as the title aptly points out, but the politics in the series gets complicated
Is Animal Farm a romanticization or condemnation?
Personally, I thought the title - Saga of Tanya the Evil - made it pretty clear.
It was technically trying to have ww2 styling and decorations but keeping it politically neutral with more a ww1 empire fighting empire European land war with Geneva convention being obeyed. So they’re ignoring the fascist part or trying to downplay it.
I am confused. Aren’t there 3 seasons of Konosuba with 4th being announced?
The anime hasn’t reach the point where the fact that Kazuma was isekaied was brought up.
But noted; edited original comment for clarity.

Later on, Kazuma
(in hindsight, it’s not really as impactful as, say, Mushoku Tensei, but it is still something 🤷)
You’re confusing me even more with this. It’s clearly shown in the very first episode and Aqua (and Iris) know it the entire time.
Why add spoilers and why make the fact special? Do you count an anime as isekai only when the MC tells it to the entire cast?
