What is Isekai?
A humorous and ambitious anime crossover in which 4 Isekai anime shows get transported to a school by a red button, all clustered together in one classroom.
Weeb: Isekai Quartet is better than Dream 9 Toriko X One Piece X Dragon Ball Z.
Another weeb: How come?
Weeb: Well it’s because Isekai characters from other shows interact with each other and have crazy adventures.

Isekai - what is it?
When you have the wish to die and reborn at a new world with the memories of your past life
Dude, my life sucks. I want to isekai myself and try again.
What does "Isekai" mean?
As an experienced otome isekai enjoyer of several years, I will give a short blurb of this genre.
Otome Isekai is a sub-genre of Isekai where the main character(s) are in some way transported to another world that resembles an otome game.
Isekai means "other world" in Japanese. Isekai stories are those where the protagonist goes to another world. Things like Escaflowne, Sword Art Online, even No-Game No-Life are all forms of Isekai.
Otome means "maiden" and "otome games" are a type of dating-sim visual novel game for girls and women. The goal is to make choices to navigate various story routes to win the hearts of different capture targets.
It is essentially the girly version of the modern shounen isekai that goes in the direction of female wish fulfillment. Instead of stuck in an action game, she's stuck in a romance novel or romance game. It is almost always "died and reborn there" rather than the sort of "stuck" we see in Sword Art Online or the "teleported" we saw in the 90s.
In general, otome isekais contain almost all of the following tropes:
1. The Main Character (MC) has foreknowledge of the events to come.
2. Our Main Character is usually a villainess.
3. Our Main Character almost always wants to avoid the "bad ending."
4. The setting is Lords and Ladies.
5. The Story is about Relationships.
6. It is written for The Female Gaze.
