What is Isekai anime?

An isekai story is one in which the lead characters are transferred to and become stuck or trapped in another world, one completely different from the one they lived in up until the transfer. The new world is commonly a fictional world. In order to adapt to their new environment, they must use the abilities and knowledge brought from their former world as well as any that may have been bestowed upon them by their brave new world. In some cases, they will seek and eventually find a way to return; in others, they will gleefully embrace their new life.

Captain First Class Edajima Goro of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) and his subordinate, Petty Officer Second Class Tokushima Hajime, a skilled former chef, were conducting such diplomatic and investigative missions, traveling across the various nations of the Special Region. However, one day, their assignment suddenly escalates when they're tasked with a special mission to rescue an American journalist kidnapped on an island in the Special Region's Blue Sea. Immediately boarding the JMSDF Oyashio-class submarine Kitashio, they set sail into the ocean of another world, discovering the area around the Blue Sea engulfed in turmoil, with archipelago nations and pirates battling fiercely for dominance.

Description:

Anime adaptation of Part 3 of Honzuki no Gekokujou. Following a disastrous encounter with a noble, Myne finally resolves to say goodbye to her family and friends in the lower city, changing her name to “Rozemyne” and beginning her new life as the adopted daughter of Ehrenfest’s archduke. However, her days as an arch-noble in noble society are brutal, as she is put through rigorous etiquette and magic training on top of her duties as High Bishop and forewoman. It all proves too much for a weak little seven-year-old girl... Or it would have, had the High Priest not offered her the keys to the temple’s book room as a reward. If she could get her hands on those, she’d be able to read all sorts of precious books! Her name may have changed, but Rozemyne’s passion for books remains the same as she charges into a whole new world! The detailed setting expands as the printing industry grows in size. Here begins Part 3 of this biblio-fantasy for book lovers everywhere! (Source: J-Novel Club)
