While it might have been within the past decade that isekai anime became a global phenomenon, the genre has existed for far longer than that; even in the 90s and 2000s, there was always an appeal to stories about characters being sent to other worlds because of their potential for escapism and fun fantasy action, and if one were to go back even further, the popularity of stories like Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz means that isekai has been a thing for well over a century.
