Sword Art Online (SAO)

If we talk about game-themed anime, SAO definitely a must-list. This anime pioneered the isekai-game genre because it introduced the concept of a virtual world MMORPG with a full-dive system.

Imagine, you are fully into the game, but..can't get out!

It all starts with Kirito and his friends who are trapped in a deadly game. If they die in the game, they will also die in the real world. Scary, right?

But behind the tension, this anime also has many exciting moments and character relationships. The visuals are cool, the sword action is stunning, and the music is very iconic.

Different from SAO which focuses on action and drama, Horizon Logs more towards strategy and social system building in the game world. The main character, Shiroe, is a master tactician who tries to rearrange the order of the game world so that players can live properly.

There are plenty of clever dialogues, political intrigue, and guild management that will appeal to those who enjoy games with elements of community and diplomacy. Log Horizon also depicts life in the game quite logically.

No Game No Life

Sora and Shiro, genius siblings who never lose at games, are suddenly summoned to an alternate world called Disboard. There, all conflicts are resolved through games, not war.

From magic chess, logic games, to illusion riddles—all packed with color and wild imagination in No Game No Life.

Sora, who is full of cunning and Shiro, who is a super genius, makes every match feel like a high-level brain duel. Addictive and sometimes mind-blowing!

Overlord

What happens when you are trapped in a game world as the most powerful character? This is the fate of Ainz Ooal Gown, a former player who is now the ruler of the virtual world.

As for, Overlord shows another side of the game world with a darker, more mature, and sometimes sadistic feel. But that's what makes it interesting—Ainz is not a good character, but we still sympathize with his steps.

In addition, the characters are also unique and the background of the world has a very deep lore. It is a must watch!

Wow!

The anime about the last game is Wow!. This anime has a similar concept to Battle Royale which looks more brutal.

Imagine you are forced to play a game that you usually play at home, but now you have to actually survive on an unknown island. The weapon? Bombs. Real.

Tension, survival strategy, and conflict between players are wrapped in a fairly heavy psychological drama. Suitable for those who like non-stop tension and moral dilemmas.
