Anime does not mean that they are always from Japan. The God of Highschool is originally written by a Korean author on Webtoon.

4: Re:Zero second season (2nd season trailer)

The second season of Re: Zero – Starting Life in Another World is out and is on fire. When the show came out it grabbed the attention of anime fans with the brand new genre from the light novel, Isekai (translated to “different world” or “other world”). The main character who was living normally, suddenly wakes up in a fantasy world where you see unrealistic creatures, magic, and extraordinary things. Typical Isekai anime has the main character with overpowered abilities, successfully moving towards their goal. The main character of Re: Zero also has a “strange ability” that makes a random “save point,” and forces him to go back to the time and place every time he dies. However, the interesting thing about this anime is that the main character realizes that he is weak and hopeless.  He struggles throughout the story, but he slowly overcomes and improves his weaknesses.
