Anime Like High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even In Another World
For Fans of Taking Over Other Worlds
Overlord
As the final hour approaches the life cycle of the MMO Yggdrasil, Momonga, a powerful wizard and leader of the dark guild Ainz Ooal Gown, is there to see it off. However, to his surprise, the servers don’t go down and even stranger is that all the NPC characters have come alive with their own unique personalities.
Both series are isekai series about people that end up in a new world, see it, and decide they can make it better or, at least, theirs. However, as Overlord is an MMO isekai, it has a large focus on action.
Drifters
While forming the rear guard for his uncle’s escape, Toyohisa Shimazu manages to mortally wound Ii Naomasa, but is critically wounded himself in the process. While trying to limp back home, he finds himself transported from the field to a hallway lined with doors. There a mysterious man sends him spiraling into another world. Dragged into the forest by two young elves, Toyohisa is patched up by two others from the Land of the Rising Sun that turn out to be Yoichi Suketaka Nasu and Oda Nobunaga. From there, Toyohisa and his fellow historical figures, named “drifters” must save (or conquer) their new world.
At a glance, both of these series are actually extremely similar. After all, what are historically famous characters if not the prodigies of their times? The key differences is Drifters is almost all about war. Any development that goes on in the country is purely for war reasons.
The Rising of the Shield Hero
The stories tell of four heroes summoned from another world – the sword, spear, bow, and shield heroes who will prevent calamity. With darkness bearing down on them, the Kingdom of Melromarc summons these heroes from modern day Japan. For otaku Naofumi Iwatani, unfortunately he is labeled the shield hero, the weakest of the group. Worse yet, betrayal sees him labeled as a criminal and outcasted. With hatred and vengeance consuming him, he sets forth to grow strong.
While Naofumi doesn’t immediately set out to take over his world like the prodigies, he does sort of end up on that path due to everyone’s sheer ineptitude. Shield Hero, however, is more typical of your standard isekai as in there is more action, but it does turn certain tropes on its head.
For Fans of Talented High Schoolers
Danganronpa
Hope’s Peak Academy is an elite high school where those accepted are given special titles that showcase their skills. This year, only fifteen were accepted, and one of them was the completely normal Makoto Naegi who got in on sheer luck. The students are thrilled to be in such a prestigious school. That is, until they are trapped inside the school by principal and bear Monokuma who tasks them with killing one of their peers and not getting caught by the others in order to escape. However, if they are caught and found guilty in a trial, they will be executed instead.
Both series are different in the respect that High School Prodigies is an isekai show and Danganronpa is about a killing game. However, they are similar because both follow students that specialize in one particular area. In each series, they use that knowledge to attempt to either change a world or kill their peers / solve their murders.
Assassination Classroom
After the moon is mysteriously turned into a permanent crescent by an unknown calamity, the students of class 3-E at Kunogigaoka Middle School are presented with a daunting task – Assassinate the creature that blew up half the moon before the year’s end or die when the world is destroyed. The creature in question, dubbed Koro-sensei by his class, is super fast, super strong, and by all respects, indestructible. However, while the students try and learn how to destroy him, they also learn that he is the best teacher that they have ever had.
At a glance, the students in Assassin Classroom aren’t similar to the prodigies because they are in the worst class of their school. However, you watch them grow into excellent assassins and see that they do in fact have their own talents that might not translate well to a successful school life. Yet, it is these talents that they use to thrive.
These Problem Children are Coming From Another World, Aren’t They?
Three extraordinary teenagers are blessed with psychic abilities, but are bored with their mundane lives. Unexpectedly, they are invited to go to a mysterious new place to participate in a high-stakes game using their abilities.
A bunch of kids that are special in their home world travel to another. However, Problem Children has actual supernatural powers and ends up playing games rather than just living life.
For Fans of Manipulative Geniuses
No Game No Life
In the real world, siblings Shiro and Sora are NEET shut-ins. However, in the virtual world, they are a legendary gaming duo. One day, after a strange email, they find their reality taken away as they are transported to the realm of Tet, God of Games. Here, Shiro and Sora must play games to defeat the sixteen races of this world as well as Tet in order to become the new gods.
Immediately, these series have the fact that they are both isekai series about very talented characters. Both series feature them using their intelligence and special skills to their advantage. They are also surprisingly non-violent series for the most part.
Code Geass
The Holy Empire of Britannia has established itself as the dominant military nation, starting after their conquest of Japan, now named Area 11. Under Britannia’s tyranny, a number of resistance groups rose up to fight for their freedom. Enter Lelouch Lamperouge, the exiled prince of Britannia who has been sent to live in Japan. One day, after finding himself caught in the crossfire in a battle between Britannia and insurgents, Lelouch is able to escape with his life after meeting C.C., a mysterious girl who grants him the power of absolute obedience.
Both series are about very smart characters essentially bending the world to their whims. However, in Code Geass, Lelouch has a supernatural advantage as well as intelligence, but the high school prodigies simply having their specialties and a less advanced world.
