15+ Best Slow Life Isekai Anime Recommendations For You!

Slow Life isekai anime is a genre that has been getting a lot of attention lately. As the name suggests, the main characters of these shows want to lead a slow, blissful, and peaceful life. This is basically a slice of life anime, except in an isekai setting.

These slice of life isekai anime have been released more and more over the past couple of years. As a fan of this genre, I’ve decided to write an article about my top 15+ best slow life isekai anime that I adored!

Difference Between Slow Life Isekai And Slice Of Life Isekai

Before we jump into the listing, I just want to make sure you guys understand the difference between “Slow life Isekai” and “Slice of Life Isekai.” Simply put, Slow life is a feel good anime, whereas slice of life is not necessarily a feel good anime. All slow life anime are slice of life but not all slice of life anime are slow life.

For example, slice of life series would include shows like Konosuba and Nobunaga Concerto where the MC is not exactly living a peaceful and satisfying life.

In Konosuba we can always hear Kazuma whine about his misfortunes. In Nobunaga Concerto the MC has to literally conquer Japan using his knowledge of history. Neither of them have a peaceful life or satisfying life.

Whereas, slow life series like ‘Welcome to the Demon School! Iruma Kun’ involve the main character living far better than they used to in their old world. Coming to the other world changed their lives for the better and they are happy with their situations. While they might eventually have to fight, the majority of the show is about them living a normal life.
