Jesus that first ending of fullmetal alchemist where someone thought they weren't being obvious enough with the fascist metaphor...
I guess its not a good escape fantasy if you are reminded of the place you are trying to escape from all the time.
But I have 2 more off the top of my head and you won't like either.
Sword Art Online
Digimon Adventures
Technically both about children trying to get home after disaster. It seems to be the only group that tries to go home.
I haven't seen Sword Art Online, but isn't that one sorta kinda like .Hack//Sign? Like they're trapped in VR?
Yup trapped in VR except its using peoples real bodies instead of character models with their real world fitness (at first, coma people ain't doing all that) and die in game die for real.
So like as close to a full isekai but reversible if they beat the game (100 level MMO), which the protagonist doesnt want to do but everyone else does because he is so edgy until he finds love and can have it in the "real world"
But its like 10,000 people get isekaid mentally at the same time. Second season is about going back in to get someone that didnt manage to come back the first time either.
There is a really really fantastic abridged series on YouTube by Something Witty Entertainment if you like crass but wholesome humor. Fixed a lot of the character flaws and terrible writing.
Hmm... That sounds a lot more interesting than just being trapped in a VR headset. I might just start watching it now.
