If you love deep world-building: One Piece (manga), Made in Abyss, Mushoku Tensei.

For the Isekai (Another World) Explorer

Anime Pick: Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Why it works: This is the granddaddy of modern Isekai. A neet (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) dies and is reborn in a fantasy world, vowing to live a better life. Warning: The protagonist has serious flaws. However, the world-building, animation, and character growth are arguably the best in the genre.

Manga Pick: The Beginning After the End (by TurtleMe) Why it works: Often compared to Mushoku Tensei, this manhwa (Korean manga) follows a king who is reincarnated as a baby in a magical world. The art is gorgeous, and the story evolves from a simple power fantasy into a complex geopolitical drama.
