Frieren is the obvious recommendation, with character-driven storytelling focused on philosophical themes. It is genuinely one of the best shows I've seen and it's rare that my expectations for a manga adaptation are blown out of the water so completely. Delicious in Dungeon is also excellent and has more of a focus on little details and creatures (and food, of course) with a very different approach to storytelling and a smaller scope.

I'm a big fan of the comedy and character design in Helck, even if the production quality of the anime can't quite match up to my other recs. The manga is definitely visually superior. The contrast between the darker aspects of the story and the comedic delivery is pretty unique as well.

Mushishi is an episodic seinen anime focused on mythology and has some of the most beautiful background art, though it has more of a historical setting with supernatural fantasy elements. If virtual fantasy settings are allowed, then I recommend Shangri-La Frontier, which looks like Isekai at first glance, but thankfully is not. It's also by far the most shonen anime on this list, but very entertaining.

Those are what comes to mind, but I'm sure I'm missing some obvious picks.

I've seen most of those (and read all of helck), except for mushishi and shangri la; I'll add them to my list!
