Summoned to Another World for a Second Time (Season 1)

Summoned to Another World for a Second Time (2023) is a Japanese comedy anime you can watch online on iFILM — an isekai about a legendary hero handed an encore he never wanted.

The setup plays the genre straight at first. A young man gets pulled into a magic world as the chosen one, wipes out the demons, and earns himself a place in legend. Then he lets his guard down. Rivals who hate his fame spring a trap and force him back home, where he has to restart life from scratch as a baby. The retired savior grows up into a gloomy teenager — until the same magic yanks him across the divide all over again.

The fun is watching the formula break. Instead of a wide-eyed newcomer, the second world gets a burned-out veteran who already knows every trick. With voice work from Shunichi Toki and Kaori Maeda, it's a sharp pick for anyone tired of straight-faced isekai. Stream Summoned to Another World for a Second Time online on iFILM.
