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?

A lot of great suggestions already.
I’ll add release that witch. It’s chinese and newish. What I enjoyed is that it isn’t a power fantasy (Mc has no powers). He was an engineer so he uses his knowledge to do things like create cement. They keep it realistic in a fantasy setting, so they use magic to heat it up to the right temperature and all that.
It’s full of little details like that, I don’t want to spoil too much of it. It’s political as well.
It’s not so blatant early on, but it absolute is.
I think it’s zero “power fantasy”, more of an “empire building fantasy”, right up to halfway of the web novel where the tone starts to change gradually.
