Saitama trained hard to be where he is today. 100 pushups, 100 sit-ups and a 10 kilometer run to end it off every single day. It may sound unimpressive, but he is able to win with just a single punch. Today, he is bored of always ending every fight with one punch. That changes when he meets Genos, whom he made disciple. Together, these 2 sets off in an eccentric action-comedy life learning and teaching each other.

How does it feel to win every single battle and having not a single worthy opponent stand in your way? That was the thought that afflicts Saitama. Strong to the point of dominating his opponents with a single punch, Saitaima is starting to lose the drive of being a hero simply due to the fact of being overpowered. Even talented individuals will have to face problems in their own class, as is demonstrated between the 2 anime where Momonga has to decide where to use his insane magic skills appropriately and Saitama on finding an opponent that doesn't end with a single punch.

Jaded and scarred after being rejected by a girl online, Rusian vows never to trust another online girl. That was to change when he meets his current guild members. After deciding on an offline meet up, he was quite shocked to find out that all of them are females. Further, one of them has a crush on him and has even agreed to marry him. However, Ako seems to have a hard time differentiating the online world and the real world and it is up to the once jaded Rusian to guide her along.

The characters of Netoge are given the freedom to traverse between the online world and the real world. Unlike the usual trapped in a video game trope, these characters lives are more or less fixated on the video game. Most of the anime highlights their journey in the video game realm. Their aim is to be the best guild in order to have their club recognised in school. If they trapped in a video game trope and the interactions between the characters are what interests you, this anime will not disappoint you!

When the online community of Elder Tale is suddenly trapped in their game, they are left bewildered and shocked. Except for Shiroe, who takes it in calmly. After the initial shock, he calmly analyses his surroundings. He learns to adapt to the new environment and negotiate with the NPCs to rebuild the city. When he is joined by other members of the game, he too must step up as a leader and lead them on during fights and raids as well.

Log Horizon was one of the earlier animes to introduce the trope of being stuck in a video game. Now, the trope of being trapped in a video game is a commonly used trope that spawns many different varieties and variations with Overlord being one of them. Certain characteristics between these 2 animes are common as well such as the threat of actual death and surviving in a new world. Both characters will have to rely on their video gaming skills and disregard the world that they had left behind (or forced away from). So, if you are into the premise of being trapped in a video game, you can't get any further from Log Horizon!

A group of individuals not known to each other happens to be trapped in a new land. Without any knowledge or memories except for their name, they try to make heads and tails of their bearings. Left with little choice, they joined the Reserve Army as a soldier. These unlikely fighters have little time to learn to fight as a team. Either that, or they face the threat of death from anywhere and anytime.

Both animes really highlights the desperation of being trapped in a foreign land. Both have characters the uses the skill of charisma to rally their troops. The stories of both animes have the themes of fantasy surrounding them as well. Although in Overlord, while Momonga is overpowered, the fighters from Grimgar have to start from rock bottom. Grimgar is essentially the reversal of Overlord in this way.

The Demon King and the Hero has always been heads on with each other since history. So it was quite a shock for the Hero when he found out that the Demon King is actually a female. Not only that, she is requesting the Hero for his assistance in something unprecedented - uniting both the societies of the demons and humans. With her vast knowledge, she explains that both sides have benefitted economically from the war much to the Hero's confusion. Nevertheless, he eventually succumbed and agreed to aid his former nemesis.

Maoyuu Maou explores the concept of economics, bringing the ancient medieval world, a plot where the dynamics of trade and finances are heavily relied upon. Both main characters have just about the same goal in mind - to build an empire from scratch. In the case of Overlord however, it is through eliminating all threats from the new realm while in Maoyuu Maou, it is through the marketplace and foreign affairs. Both animes highlight a talented main character that is able to shape the future through sheer ability alone.

The name Demon Lord Satan is enough to strike fear into the hearts of men. With his vast amount of infantry, he was close to taking over the human world before being foiled by the hero Emillia. As he escapes into a portal, he never knew he was going to be transported into the very heart of Tokyo. Not before long, Emillia travelled to Tokyo too in order to finish her quest. She was shocked that the Demon Lord is now a fast food worker and living a very simple life. Whatever has happened to the once all powerful Demon Lord?

The Devil is a Part Timer follows a unique story where the King of the Demons was wrongfully sent to Earth and had to subsequently work in a fast food restaurant in order to survive. There, he realizes that the new world is unlike his own and he has to adapt to the new environment in order to survive. Eventually, the new world changes his viewpoints such that his rival was even able to recognize him. Similarly to Overlord, Momonga was confined to the video game realm and was forced to live a life of the game that he had been playing. Slowly but surely however, he grew accustomed to the new place and even made plans for supremacy. Both animes shows the resilience a main character will take once they are suddenly transported into a new realm.
