I'm not too enthused with isekai as a concept, as I typically think of them as "fantasy with extra steps", but what anime are good because it is an isekai?

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! is actually hilarious and also nice. Main character isekais into the body of the main antagonist of a romance game, but years before the game starts. She realizes that there's only one option to survive from the game outcomes, and that's that she's banished to a faraway island.

So she takes up farming. As a fantasy noble of high society.

She's an air head, but a nice person, and by being nice to the characters they completely change from brooding, broken people to just nice folks, and she ... Still thinks she's in danger. Even though it's obvious that she's going to be fine and everyone loves and is in love with her.

It's a fun comedy, and it's not a power fantasy or basically saying "Japan is great eat our food", and the fact she's from another world is actually important instead of ignored after episode 1.
