Looks for good fantasy anime but I am trying to avoid: Haram type shows (Yawn) Creepy underaged bullshit (ancient vampires, supernatural beings who look like little girls) Queer characters a plus! Already seen: Overlord (mixed feelings), Reincarnated as a slime (good!), and Frieren (Wonderful!)
I loved Deltora Quest. Still own all 15 books.
oh you said anime...well..it DOES have an anime...
and Delicious in Dungeon (Fantastic!) Suggestions welcome!
Slayers? It's a classic.
It's been decades! I remember having a crush on the fox man, Jillas. I mean... LOOK AT HIM <3
You are not wrong!
The Rising Of The Shield Hero
The one where the guy buys minor girls as slaves and has an entire romance arc with them?
EEEEEEEELLLL...gross, no thanks!
Yeah it's not that good either... Although now that i think about it you might like full metal alchemist brotherhood, it has no harem or even fan service, has a pretty good story, takes place in the middle ages and has a focus on magic, with the world building arguably being one of the best
Helck
Reborn as a Vending Machine is solid.
Dragon Goes House Hunting is cute 💜
I want to semi-jokingly suggest jjba, but entirely with the underlying motive of seeing otts in jojo poses.
Oh TRUST ME, I've seen it. I'll never eat a cherry the same way ever again
Lol. There is gays, but there is also ancient vampires.
Lets hear it for the gaaaaays!
its dark but i enjoy the Berserk 97 anime too much to recommend, but like i said, its dark.
Oh! Trauma the anime! I've seen that :)
i was also gunna reccomend both of the fullmetal alchemist series, but i dont think they count
a couple of new ones I have been enjoying are Secrets of the Silent witch and the water magician recently hmm I'll have to think of some others I like
Have you ever seen The Vision of Escaflowne?
It's a little problematic but it's a fascinating look into early 2000's culture. The English dub of Ghost Stories
XD
Ooh! I've gotta suggest Lord of Mysteries. Not quite swords and sorcery but alternative history fantasy of a sort, really quite good! Has a really good mystery element to it, too.
Thank you!!!
I've had it described to me as isekai meets bloodborne and... it isn't all that wrong lol
Also also cannot recommend Tonari no Yokai-San enough, really cozy rural living anime about living alongside yokai from various perspectives. <3
Im tired of the Isekai haram ones. The VA for the female leads all sound the same from show to show. Those girls cry all the time and can't tie their shoes without the help of the male lead. Additionally, I think Spy Family is just dumb in how they force weird and zany plot points into the story.
I agree with your isekai haram take, it's so boring and overdone. But Spy Fam is ridiculous and I like it that way. Fair criticism, but I enjoy it's goofy bullshit.
I only know spy family from my nephew who reads the Manga as well as watched the series with his family. But I always come into the living room when they're watching, and its a random anime giving an exposition dump or some girl with unnaturally bouncy beasts crying over something.
