My favourite Isekai is the story of Jesus Christ, who came from Heaven to "another world" called Earth

Edgar Rice Burroughs's "A Princess of Mars."

While I agree with this in spirit, technically isekai means another world, and the world that Ash was sent to was our world in the past.

So, if we're looking at isekai in spirit. I think Futurama would be included as a good example.

Oh, Final Fantasy X too. Although gray area.
