    Isekai (Japanese: 異世界, transl. “different world” or “otherworld”) is a genre of speculative fiction. It includes novels, light novels, films, manga, anime and video games that revolve around a displaced person or people who are transported to and have to survive in another world, such as a fantasy world, virtual world, or parallel universe. Usually sent via being hit by a truck, hence the pic.

    Non anime examples:
    Jumanji (the new ones)
    Alice in wonderland
    Tron
    The wizard of Oz
