In this series, capturing a dungeon is the greatest glory that one could hope for. Rather than dwelling on wooing princesses in faraway lands, this one’s conquering dungeons and collecting treasures.īut it’s not your vanilla action series, either! There’s a lot of character development, as we see how the protagonist and his companions grow and improve with every adventure. But while Disney’s Aladdin is your typical love-struck prince type, Magi’s protagonist kicks butt. You see, “Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic” is loosely based on Aladdin. In Western animation, nothing could be more “fantasy” than the ones offered by Disney. Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic (Manga: Shinobu Ohtaka, 2009 – 2017 / Anime: Hiroyuki Yoshino, 2012 – 2013) With no powerful weapons or unique powers and just an idiot of a goddess with no other offensive skills aside from healing (and some party tricks she learned along the way,) saving this world is an uphill battle for the protagonist!Ĩ. Unfortunately, the goddess is messed up too, and it was revealed that she was mostly slacking and not taking things seriously. That’s a little messed up, yet brilliant, and would probably be akin to cheating in most cases. But since this is a parody of most fantasy isekai (alternate world) anime titles, he decided to bring the goddess herself! If this were a typical fantasy anime, you’d be right to think he chose an evil-slaying sword or the power of invincibility. Kono Subarashii Sekai Ni Shukufuku (Light Novel: Natsume Akatsuki, 2013 – 2020 / Anime: Makoto Uezu, 2016 – 2017)Ī social recluse gets revived by a goddess in a different world, and he’s allowed to choose anything, from powerful weapons to unique abilities, to aid him in killing the demon lord. The story is already concluded in both the anime and the source manga, so it’s something to look forward to when you start the binge!īuy the first collection on Amazon: Fairy Tail: Collection One (Blu ray/DVD Combo)ħ. What’s great about Fairy Tail is that it has over 300 episodes, and you definitely won’t finish it in one sitting. He’s also a member of the guild of wizards, who are capable of using different kinds of powers to do good deeds and ultimately battle evil forces. Oh, I almost forgot, he’s the adoptive son of an actual dragon, who has been missing for a few years before the anime’s story started. Underneath his rough exterior hides the power of a dragon slayer, capable of using (and even consuming) fire in battle. If the title’s not fantasy enough for you, I don’t know what is! It’s your typical shounen anime (targeting young males) with a lot of action, adventure, and fighting, and a hyperactive protagonist, Natsu Dragneel. Fairy Tail (Manga: Hiro Mashima, 2006 – 2017 / Anime: Masashi Sogo, 2009 – 2019) Oh, and did I mention that the characters are so well made, you’d sometimes find yourself rooting for the villains!ģ. The arcs are complete, so you won’t feel cheated that you’ve watched the entire thing with a gaping hole for an ending. It’s one of the few titles out there with well-crafted characters, exceptional character development, and great story arcs. But that shouldn’t stop you from watching this anime. Unfortunately, the source material that is the manga version has been plagued by hiatus after hiatus because of the manga artist’s poor health. It has over a hundred episodes and was set for syndication, just like some top titles like Dragon Ball Z or One Piece. Still one of the most well-received anime titles to date, Hunter X Hunter (read: “Hunter-Hunter”) is a must-watch for fantasy fans.
