Best anime to watch if you loved Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra
Overlord
When seeking anime like Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra, Overlord is one of the first shows that comes to mind. Originally a light novel series written by Kugane Maruyama. Overlord grew to fame as a franchise as soon as it was adapted into an anime.
The story follows a seasoned video game player who has a high-level character in the virtual world of Yggdrasil. Unfortunately, the MMO is about to be shut down, so he visits the game world for one last time. It turns out the game’s world and the characters have become sentient, with the main character getting stuck in its world.
There are a lot of similarities between Overlord and Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra. The biggest one is the main characters having their own favorite game world. Both characters have important roles in their respective game worlds.
My Isekai Life
Most isekai anime start off as a light novel series, which gets adapted into an anime. My Isekai Life is no different. The full title of the show is ‘My Isekai Life: I Gained a Second Class and Became the Strongest Sage in the World!‘
The story follows a character named Yuji Sano who leads a very relatable life of drowning in corporate work life. But circumstances lead him to get transported to a different world which is very similar to RPG games.
This synopsis to the show is very similar to Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra. This makes it a good recommendation if you are looking for similar shows.
The New Gate
The New Gate is another light novel series written by Shinogi Kazanami. Just like most of the other anime series on this list, The New Gate is set around a video game. The novel was originally published on a website, and then later it was published in print.
Set in a game universe with the titular name, where every decision is a matter of life and death. But that’s not a problem for one of the best players in the game, Shin. Until, due to circumstances, he ends up far in the future timeline inside the game.
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra and The New Gate is similar as they both boast a video game world that feels lived in. Also, an incredibly strong player character is the main protagonist of both shows.
No Game No Life
No Game No Life follows a story with dual protagonists who get isekai’d to a different world. Sora and Shiro are shut-in siblings, but also some of the best gamers in the whole world. Together, they are called the undefeated duo ‘Blank’ online.
Fortunately for them, the God of Games, Tet, takes an interest in them. He invites them to his own world, where every decision is made through games. But things don’t look good as the world turns out to be of a dystopian nature. The duo decides to use their skills to unite the world.
No Game No Life may not actually deal with the protagonists being transported to an actual game world. But both this show and Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra have main characters who are online gamers.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
There’s something about most iseaki and escapism. Almost all of them deal with main characters who are slumped in the real world, living a mundane life. But things suddenly turn into escapism fantasy as the main characters get transported to another world.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is just that kind of an anime. Following the life of a 37-year-old salaryman who lives a mundane life. He suddenly gets murdered one day and then is transported to a fantasy world as a slime.
But it turns out he can use his abilities to absorb others’ skills and grow stronger. However, the show does not have the main character in a video game world like Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra. The fantasy world still follows the rules of video games and has a really strong protagonist.
Infinite Dendrogram
Infinite Dendrogram is another anime series that uses the MMORPG setting for its isekai storytelling. It was originally a light novel series written by Sakon Kaido and started serialization in 2015. An anime adaptation by studio NAZ aired in 2020.
When the perfect virtual reality MMO named Infinite Dendrogram was released, it suddenly took the world by storm. Our protagonist, who names himself Ray Starling, hops into this world, followed by his brother and in-game companion.
The story follows their exploits and adventures in this game world. Other than the similarity of having a living video game world, just like in Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra. Infinite Dendrogram also sets itself apart from other isekai by having in-game world companions. This is something Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra fans will be able to relate to.
Log Horizon
Log Horizon is considered by many as one of the best isekai anime that is set around a game world. It has compelling characters that will keep viewers glued to their seats and a well-established story.
If you really like Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra, then Log Horizon should definitely be on your watchlist. It uses similar elements of a lived-in game world and uses them to tell a compelling story.
The plot of Log Horizon is set in the online game world called Elder Tale. Over thousands of players are stuck in its virtual reality after an unusual game update. You follow the adventures of veteran gamer Shiroe in this video game, which has become his new reality.
.hack//Sign
We cannot just talk about all the other isekai anime that deal with the video game world and leave out .hack//Sign. It is one of the oldest series that puts main characters into an online video game.
The similarities to Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra are few and far with .hack//Sign. But it is heavily recommended to watch if you are a fan of iseaki shows with game worlds. The franchise is also very popular with its own video games published by Bandai Namco.
The story follows our main character getting trapped in his favorite MMORPG, which is called ‘The World’. Thus, he must band together with other players in the game to find out more about himself and escape the World.
In Another World with My Smart Phone
This one right here is a hilarious isekai anime originating as a light novel series written by Patora Fuyuhara. In Another World with My Smart Phone is also called IseSuma for short in Japanese.
Although the plot of the show does not directly relate to Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra with game worlds and protagonists. It’s still worth recommending if you are a fan of isekai shows in general that use modern world utilities.
In the case of Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra, the game is set around online video games. But IseSuma has the main character keep their modern gadgets, such as cellphones, in the afterlife.
How a Realist Hero Rebuilt The Kingdom
Written by an author named Dojyomaru, How a Realist Hero Rebuilt The Kingdom started off as a light novel. Later on, due to its popularity, it got picked up by the popular J.C.Staff for an anime adaptation, which was released in 2021.
Unlike most of the shows on this list, How a Realist Hero Rebuilt The Kingdom does not deal with heavy fights and action sequences. Rather, it focuses on grounded world-building elements found in RTS games.
Thus, it is very close to Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra, in the sense that it is about developing a community in another world. This is the core aspect that sets How a Realist Hero Rebuilt The Kingdom as one of our highly recommended shows.
