Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest is second on 462 votes and Sword Art Online third on 402. 15 more suggestions cleared the threshold, and all of them are listed below, strongest first. These are votes rather than an algorithm: each number counts AniList members who watched The Rising of the Shield Hero and said a particular show was worth watching next, so a suggestion people disagreed with does not appear at all. Five of the 18 have a watch order on this site; the rest are named so you can find them.

Where these come from

Every number above is a tally of AniList members who finished The Rising of the Shield Hero and nominated another series as the one to watch next. Nothing here is inferred from genres or tags: this page cannot tell you why That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime follows The Rising of the Shield Hero, only that 602 people think it does. Suggestions the community voted down are excluded, and where several seasons of one franchise were nominated they are counted once, under the franchise.

5 of them have a watch order here , so if one appeals you can see every series, film and OVA in it laid out in order before you start: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime , Sword Art Online , Mushoku Tensei , Overlord , Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu .
