Isekai Anime With Problematic Romances

Isekai anime has been one of anime's most popular genres for nearly a decade. There's just something about seeing a character go from a realistic world to a fantastical world and gain incredible powers that keeps fans invested. However, it's not out of the ordinary for isekai anime to experiment with some romantic elements.
While most fans like seeing a change of pace that adds romance, it isn't always well done. Moreover, even when it is well-done, there are problematic elements that make it hard to approve of most relationships. With isekai anime often being a power fantasy, an imbalance in power dynamics can become an issue. Other times, the age gaps can become uncomfortable. Whatever the case, these problematic relationships often really test the viewers.
