Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash
Hai to Gensou no Grimgar
Fear, survival, instinct. Thrown into a foreign land with nothing but hazy memories and the knowledge of their name, they can feel only these three emotions resonating deep within their souls. A group of strangers is given no other choice than to accept the only paying job in this game-like world—the role of a soldier in the Reserve Army—and eliminate anything that threatens the peace in their new world, Grimgar.
When all of the stronger candidates join together, those left behind must create a party together to survive: Manato, a charismatic leader and priest; Haruhiro, a nervous thief; Yume, a cheerful hunter; Shihoru, a shy mage; Mogzo, a kind warrior; and Ranta, a rowdy dark knight. Despite its resemblance to one, this is no game—there are no redos or respawns; it is kill or be killed.
It is now up to this ragtag group of unlikely fighters to survive together in a world where life and death are separated only by a fine line.

Grimgar is a 10/10 realistic take on issekai, and one of a kind in that sense. A must watch from me.
VenerableBook100I recommend this if you want a see, how a characters develop, relaxing vibes, and thrilling fights!
A masterpiece that delivers great character development and a believable fantasy world.

An isekai where you follow the B team rather than A team. Good character progression, story and animation quality.

A boldly "realistic" rendition of isekai reveals the shortcomings of the genre as well as Tolkienesque fantasy

_Hai to Gensou Grimgar_ had beautiful art, terrible pacing, and average execution.
