I kinda agree that Girmgar is mid, but sadly a mid isekai is above average compared to the rest of the genre. Something actually good like Now and Then, Here and There sadly remains the purview of the 90's. But also I dunno if I'd recommend that one, there are some really strong CW's and I haven't watched it recently to see if it holds up.
I only saw the first season of Re: Zero, thought it was trying for the Evangelion/Madoka "this is the edgy subversion of the genre" style but I don't know whether it succeeds at it or not because I didn't watch the other seasons since I couldn't get invested in the characters.
Likewise only saw the first season of Slime isekai but the "we must build society by going through the means of production" premise held some promise, unfortunately I couldn't care about the characters for the life of me.
I stopped watching the slime anime after they introduced a 12 year old girl, ahktually a 1000 year old demon, who wears a bikini. I liked watching them build their little kingdom but I couldn't get past that.
God damn, sounds like I dodged a bullet there
