7 Best Anime Where the Main Character Can Level Up

Many anime series feature some power system. Iconic shōnen series like Naruto, Bleach, and Hunter X Hunter use these systems to communicate how strong their main characters can get and what they can be capable of with enough training. Most of these shōnen power systems take wildly different approaches to this technique. Isekai and other sci-fi fantasy anime offer a much more straightforward take on power systems.
Most Isekai anime have characters "level up" like a video game. This sounds simple on paper, but plenty of series use this concept creatively. Just like the shōnen anime, these power systems can vary in complexity. But there's no doubt that among Isekai anime, these rank as some of the best that current anime offers.
