In the realm of anime, the isekai genre has taken the stage, captivating audiences with its tales of ordinary individuals transported to fantastical worlds. Amidst this popularity, Isekai Quartet emerges, a hilarious parody that brings together four iconic isekai protagonists and their companions for a crossover adventure filled with witty humor, self-aware references, and a unique chibi art style.
A Melting Pot of Isekai Heroes
Isekai Quartet's premise is as simple as it is ingenious: Subaru Natsuki (Re:ZERO - Starting Life in Another World), Kazuma Satou (KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!), Tanya Degurechaff (The Saga of Tanya the Evil), and Ainz Ooal Gown (Overlord) are mysteriously transported to a new world, forced to adapt to their new surroundings while navigating…

This was a fun watch. You probably won't like it if you haven't seen at least 2 out of re: zero, konosuba, Overlord or youjo senki. The characters mesh pretty well together and the comedy isn't bad. The episodes are short so if you get tired of watching subaru get fucking murdered in re: zero, you can always come here for comedy relief. I haven't seen overlord or youjo senki but ainz and tanya seemed pretty interesting regardless. It was fun to see the cross-series interactions, like subaru and kazuma, what a insane duo that we never knew we needed. Episodes are only 10 minutes long though. Solid watch and good fun if you meet the criteria to enjoy it. You don't have the connection with the characters if you haven't seen the shows necessary though and there are references which require pre…

Finally. I finally got round to watching this but, only after being pestered to. And I have to say. That wasn’t bad at all. Initially what put me off watching it was just the fact that the way it was presented looked more like an OVA than a full-fledged series. On top of the fact that I had already seen each of the respected series. But was pleasantly surprised.
First, it made me laugh. Which is quite rare these days, but I did have a good old giggle. I found it fascinating seeing all the characters talk to other characters from the different series. I mean when you put them all in the same room, you can only help but notice the similarity’s in personality’s with characters. Which I didn’t think about before.
I liked the length and the quality of the animation. It wasn’t too long that it…

Are you a fan of isekai? Maybe you like Re:Zero, or Tanya the Evil? Perhaps you remembered how funny Konosuba could be, and thought a comedy show with some of the same characters could be funny?
If so, stay far away. This show is bad.
I won't say that it doesn't have any redeeming qualities. The cast of Konosuba is still amusing to watch, albeit much less so than in their own show. And if you're a fan of Re:Zero, there are a few scenes sprinkled here and there that you might like. The vocalists for each respective show give comparable performances to their original series, which is quite solid for the most part. There were even three or four jokes that actually utilized comparisons between the four different series that had some degree of comedic value!
But personally, a handful of de…

No better than any of the shows that appear on it, except for maybe Tanya the Evil, which I haven't seen. Essentially just a fun, fanservicey romp where we turn off our brains and enjoy some light situational comedy between characters that have already been set up in their respective shows. The style may be simple, but I found it was really conducive to the snappy type of comedy that the show was going for, and for its part the comedy was successful nine of out ten times. All in all, the show met my expectations exactly, and if its what you're into, you're likely to get a lot out of it.

I think most people would be able to enjoy this with only having watched one of two the shows in it. Even though the only Isekai that I've seen so far has been Re: Zero, I still found this really fun and entertaining. I get the general gist of Konosuba, and the characters from the other two shows aren't hard to understand in this context. I'm sure that there were a lot of subtle jokes that would've only made sense if you had seen all four of the shows, but for what it was worth I found it to be pretty funny. The animation is pretty basic, but the chibi designs for all the characters are pretty cute. The ED is pretty good as well. On the whole, this was a good show just to put on when I wanted something basic to watch.

Isekai Quartet takes four worlds of the Isekai genre and puts them all into one world. This crossover of various characters provides excellent entertainment, and provides answers for what would happen if one character met a character who, for example, despises the other.
I'm not really sure if there's a story, but every episode has a selection of characters performing a certain task. For example, one of the episodes is a test of magic, which allows for the characters to showcase their magic, allowing the rest of the cast to learn and adapt to each other.
The art style is cute. It makes sense why they chose this Chibi style of art, since it would be strange if a giant skeleton was realistic, while you have this skinny tracksuit kid just being stared down at him.
The music is amazing, since…

I'm gonna be honest. I went in fully expecting this to be a fan fiction of some of the greatest isekais and came out gleeful.
I loved the the charm of them running around in their chibi artstyle that kadokawa generally uses for their spinoff comedy shorts.
The character interactions?
Fun as hell and generally had me wishing for who could possibly be in next season. I wanted Tanya and Ainz to talk to each other often and maybe play with their dynamic of their past lives or the villains from the over series to come over as a villain before being curb-stomped aside or something.
But overall, it made me smile when two characters had their share of comradery,
Sound was fine.
I didn't bleed and it's not writing home any GrammyAwards but some of the songs were great. The OP and the ending ha…

For a comedic series, it wasn't funny at all. I might have chuckled once throughout my entire watching of the show.
The plot is stupid, which is FINE, since it is, after all, a spinoff gag show, but the premise of the show wasn't what ruined the show, it was the fact that there was absolutely no content that spurred the show on. Obviously, there are 4 different series of characters in this show, and they all were forced to participate on school life. However, it was the fact that the daily school life activites they did, whether it was a field trip, electing reps, or doing class duties, were actually just very badly done. Not a whole lot is ever put on these aspects of the "content" of the episode. I mean, the class goes on a trip to the beach, but nothing out of the ordinary happens.

To be honest, this is one of the most surprising thing I've watched this year. On paper, Isekai Quartet sounds like a joke but I did laugh my ass off, hand down funniest thing this year for me.
I won't state the obvious like every review you've read. As a viewer who watched all these show, it's so amusing and happy to see them interact with each other. It's the biggest strenghth of this anime, it excels in humour department. While I can't say the same about the animation or the artstyle, it's not a problem. The chibi style only helps more.
Along with catchy ost, I think if you're a fan of one or all these animes, this show should be on your ptw list.

Best cross-over I ever saw. The fact that my favorite anime and some other good ones combined got me hyped and gave me chills. The animation was ok but the story was amazing (don't know why tho), even if this is a cross-over it made me count the days and the hours until a new episode will come out.
From my point of view the best part was when Subaru tried saying the forbidden phrase, it gave me some hope that they might just understand his pain, that he made it, that even if he can't say it Ainz can tell them for him, but it ended up the same as it always does.
Also that opening song, I can't get it out of my head, the story,sound and characters where outstanding. The art was pretty good and I truly enjoyed it. So the overall will be a 9. This truly was a godly cross-over.

Honestly, there is not much to say about Isekia Quartet. Its a crossover of 4 popular isekia shows at a typical Japanese high school with everything down in the chibi art style. There are some enjoyable jokes, but it nothing earthshaking. If one has watched at least 2 or more series featured here, then there is some enjoyment to be found.
Isekai quartet is a crossover show of Re Zero, Overlord, Saga of Tanya the Evil, and Konosuba. They all are magically transported to a Japanese high school and hijinks ensue. They are jokes and barbs thrown between these characters, and they go through all the high school anime cliches. I enjoyed it reasonably well. The episodes are short too about 10 minutes each.
If you have watched 2 or more of the listed shows, you might enjoy this. For me, this wa…

Isekai Quartet is one of the biggest crossovers in the history of anime. As the name suggests, it’s a crossover between 4 isekai animes, namely, Overlord, Youjo Senki, Re:Zero and KonoSuba. We have all wondered at least once what would happen if a character from one anime met one from another and this anime is just that. If you are a fan of the isekai comedy genre then this anime is just right for you.
It starts out as everyone getting transported to a separate world where they are forced to attend school. In this school setting, they take part in various typical anime high school activities such as going to beach, sports festival, talent show, etc.
The character interactions are just as you would expect and also hilarious to watch. The great lord Ainz actually takes damage from the atta…

[Prologue]
Isekai quartet is the light at the end of a tunnel for an industry that had found itself at an innovation dead-end. Also, Isekai Quartet is the most ambitious crossover event in history (and supposedly, it will become EVEN MORE ambitious in season 2).
[My initial worries...]
I was skeptical of this show at first. As a cynic, I saw many red flags:
1. Half of the quartet had sequels confirmed, with the others likely to follow.
2. The show was blatantly riding the coattails of the Isekai genre's popularity. 3. The show adopted a digestible, marketable presentation style (including the OP and ED).
Given those three flags (and my overall pessimistic outlook on modern anime), I *cautiously* rated this show 8/10...
[...were blown away!]
To my surprise, I was wrong. Kodokawa put…

If nothing else, I appreciate the sheer cynical genius behind Isekai Quartet. Isekai is the most popular genre in anime right now, Kadokawa owns the rights to some of its most popular entries, so what’s the quickest ticket to printing all the money imaginable? Have them all cross over in a silly gag spin-off,using the combined star power of all these successful casts to rake in fans from across the anime spectrum, encouraging fans of one show to check out the others ones in the process, while banking on the relative quality of all the shows in question to make for an enjoyable experience on its own merits. That’s on par with the MCU when it comes to Galaxy Brain brand-IP management. And for what it’s worth, I give it all the credit in the world for achieving exactly what it set out to do.…

So anime finally did it huh?...it did an Avengers: Isekai Anime Short Edition
Isekai Quartet is one of the FIRST animes to ever bring in four anime from different franchises, in this case, KonoSuba, Youjo Senki, Overlord and ReZero all together!, the closest thing near this feat was Carnival Phantasm with it's Type-Moon titles but nonetheless...
Here's the thing, having these four anime franchises and how the character all mingling together is one thing, but even all four of the animes have ties to one another, giving us many allusions towards each of their anime franchises counterparts and even making jokes to go along with that!. To say this anime short was LA favourite comedy of Spring 2019 is an understatement and heck the only anime franchise LA hasn't all of was Overlord (only fini…

tl;dr: Isekai Avengers is a good amount of fun, even if it's a little hollow
Isekai Quartet is a crossover between the three best isekai shows and Overlord that takes place in a chibified school setting. It's not a full team up show, as you might see in Western comics, and is instead like the one-off episodes of a sitcom where a few characters from another show visit and make references to their own world. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, just don't go in expecting it.
The worst I can really say about it is that it's less four different isekai casts interacting with each other in a school setting, and more four different isekai casts in a school setting, that occasionally interact. There are things you wish they could have done, but the vastly different tones and power levels of each…

I do NOT recommend this for anybody not familiar with the 4 series that make up this fan-service show.
Instead, it is recommended for those who have previously seen the Isekai animes involved.
Isekai Quartet is a very short anime show that through very little reasons and with very little story, drags and pairs together 4 popular animes in the Isekai genre.
Although the story is nothing amazing and subpar at best, Isekai Quartet brings interesting interactions among the characters in a lovely chibi style that is very polished. They got together all the original voice actors and with the silly and non-important setting on mind, the overall enjoyment you can get out of it depends purely on the viewer's expectations.
I give this a rating of 7 based that they kept the characters true to the…

I mean it'd probably be easiest for me to put some kind of Avengers joke here for the intro, but I'm pretty sure that's been done to death by this point, so I'll just go onto the meat of the review.
Story:
Alright, so let's give the main cast of Konosuba, Overlord, Youjo Senki, and Re:Zero a random button that just magically appears on their respective doorsteps in order to Isekai them again into a world where now they're forced to participate in high school activities and shenanigans. What fantasy! What merriment! I bet the rights holders were high-fiving each other when they came up with this idea.
The story for Isekai Quartet can be roughly summed up by asking the question: "How would these characters react to both the setting and the other characters if they were all put in the s…

Trash mixed with garbage, fused with dog farts, and interwoven with mindless stupidity.
As a word of caution, I have not seen KonoSuba, Overlord, Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World, or The Saga of Tanya the Evil.--Thus, my perspective is drastically different than a consumer who has seen these Kadokawa Corporation productions. With that said, however, Isekai Quartet is bottom of the barrel entertainment. Perpetuating the stereotype of puerile-based Japanese comedy.
As a word of caution, Isekai Quartet is a perplexing show. I understand it’s a comedy/parody of the Isekai genre, but the abysmal execution leaves me questioning the effort of the so-called ‘writers.’ Let’s be honest: this show emulates the writing complexity of Donald Trump’s various tweets. The jokes, if we graciously…
