Aix Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I'm a sucker for Fantasy so shoot. List as many good ones as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Fate/Zero and Magi are awesome fantasy action series. From the New World is a fantastic fantasy mystery. It was a novel adaption and it shows. Maoyuu Maou Yuusha I've heard is Spice and Wolf Lite (never saw SW), so if you liked that, go for it. Ixion Saga Dimension Transfer is a decent fantasy comedy if you like stupid comedy. Otherwise, I'd avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiri Tsukikawa Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 If by "good" you mean anime "we" like and/or don't think are bad, then maybe I can list some. Any Digimon is a good Fantasy (although I haven't seen any past ep 7 of Savers) And as mentioned Magi, but also Shakugan no Shana (before the last season) Tsubasa Chronicle Zetsuen no Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixion Saga Dimension Transfer is a decent fantasy comedy if you like stupid comedy. Otherwise, I'd avoid. SHIN SEKAI YORI! YES! That is honestly one of the most well constructed and original animes I have ever seen, and it does so without relying on violence or action to keep people's attentions.

mitchermitcher Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 'Good' is subjective. Hitsugi no Chaika, damn decent ongoing one Maoyuu as one of the above mentioned, I liked it more than Spice and Wolf Ixion Saga as well Tales of Phantasia OVA, 4 episodes, cut a lot of things out from the game, but as a standalone I liked it Queen's Blade - Lots of boobs, lovely, fantasy itself is meh but at least its there MAR - Liked it when I was younger Zero no Tsukaima - Saw first season, was nice Kinda hard to think, cuz I don't really look out for them, but that's something at least.

Shradow Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 MAR Zero no Tsukaima Dog Days Madoka Magica Shakugan no Shana (before the last season) What do you mean by that? The last season was the best one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 I'll suggest "Ki ba" because it's basically the battling mechanics of pokemon mixed in with the magic of Fairy Tale and the politics and moral discussions of Code Geass. Oh, and if you haven't watched Shin Sekai Yori (From the New World), you need to get your ass on that this instant because it's one of the best shows I've ever seen.

BANZAI!!!! Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Orphen wolf's rain, if for some reason you have not seen it magi did i mention orphen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiri Tsukikawa Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 What do you mean by that? The last season was the best one. Well, as was said, this is subjective. I didn't like the last season, that's all I "mean by that". Now that we know there's someone here that also liked the last season, I guess Shakugan no Shana as a whole might be a good suggestion, so that. Orphen did i mention orphen? Yes.

Shradow Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Infinite Stratos That's fantasy? I've only seen a couple episodes, but they've got fighting mecha suits, wouldn't it be sci-fi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elijah~ Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 That's fantasy? I've only seen a couple episodes, but they've got fighting mecha suits, wouldn't it be sci-fi? It's technically a mixture of both genres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Really liked Fate/Zero. Magi was meh. From The New World was really good. Maoyuu was meh. Don't like stupid comedy. Might try Digimon... I'll have a look. Shakugan no Shana, I'll have a look. Tsubasa Chronicle, I'll have a look. Zetsuen no Tempest was good... until the second half. Hitsugi no Chaika, I'll have a look. Tales of Phantasia, I'll have a look. Queen's Blade, I've heard bad things about it... I might eventually have a look MAR, I don't like childish-looking shows. Zero no Tsukaima, am watching this. Meh, but I like pure fantasy so yeah. Dog Days, seen few episodes of it, didn't really care for it, might give it a go again later Madoka Magica, really good Orphen, I'll have a look at it. Wolf's Rain, yep, planning to watch this Infinite Stratos, no thanks. Tried it, didn't like it. Vampire Knight, doesn't look like something I'd like. Inuyasha, I'll have a look someday, but I'm not a fan of long ones Baka To Test, not really fantasy, but I watch an episode every now and then. Ki ba, I'll have a look. Thanks for the recommendations. Any high fantasy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Yeah, I don't really recommend Magi to people. It starts off pretty good, but then it becomes recycled and has really stupid plot points that make the main characters look like morons. Not flawed, just moronic.

Shradow Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Tsubasa Chronicle, I'll have a look. That show is the slowest thing in existence, even for Japanese story pacing. I've tried to watch it three different times and never got anywhere with it despite being almost a couple dozen episodes in each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this were before the second season, you wouldn't know it'd end without really ending. I guess he doesn't have to take a look at this, then.

Dr. Cakey Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Thanks for the recommendations. Any high fantasy? High fantasy. Well...there's Claymore. And there's Berserk. And there's...I mentioned Claymore, right? Berserk, too? Okay, well, other than that there's...Berserk. And Claymore. Claymore's good. Berserk's not too shabby, either. Yeah, uh, unless your definition of "high fantasy" is "otaku jerk-off power fantasy", I can't think of much. If your definition of "high fantasy" does, for some reason, include "otaku jerk-off power fantasy", the best in that...can I call it a genre?...would probably be No Game No Life (which is currently airing), and I think Outbreak Company was pretty good, too. I wouldn't know. I don't watch crap*. *EDITOR'S NOTE: This statement is false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 That reminds me, another good fantasy/sci-fi series (if you like calm, philosophical shows) is Kino's Journey. Definitely one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hate, No Game No Life is flawed but fun to watch and does not take itself too seriously unlike a certain other SAOtaku pandering show. Claymore... eh, didn't have a good first impression of it, it seemed really generic and I've read the manga a long time ago and don't remember liking it too much. The Berserk manga is amazing, so I'll eventually get to watching that. I think you'd enjoy The World Is Still Beautiful. Will have a look. That reminds me, another good fantasy/sci-fi series (if you like calm, philosophical shows) is Kino's Journey. Definitely one of my favorites. Yeah, I quite like what I've watched of it. Currently have it on hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 The World is Still Beautiful is worth a look, but personally I'm kinda eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh about it. The spontaneous engrish J-Pop kind of breaks the fantasy theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
