So grab your seat, because by the end of this video, you might just discover your next obsession. Let’s begin.
Fantasy Anime’s Boom Era
In recent years, fantasy has exploded in popularity thanks to modern gems like Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End and Delicious in Dungeon. But here’s the thing — while fantasy wasn’t always anime’s go-to genre, its history is packed with monumental fantasy classics.
The series we’ll cover today are more than just entertaining; they’re cornerstones of the medium. They shaped anime as we know it. They’ve wrapped up their stories with powerful endings, and they continue to inspire new generations of anime fans.
So the question is: which completed fantasy anime deserve a spot on your must-watch list?
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood – The Alchemy of Sacrifice
Released in 2009 and animated by Bones, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood isn’t just a fantasy anime — it’s a global phenomenon. Unlike the 2003 version, this adaptation stays faithful to Hiromu Arakawa’s manga, delivering one of the most emotionally devastating and brilliantly crafted stories in anime history.
Set in a world where alchemy is the ultimate science, we follow the Elric brothers, Edward and Alphonse. After losing their mother, they commit the ultimate taboo: attempting resurrection. The price is horrific — Edward loses his leg, Alphonse loses his entire body, and in desperation, Edward sacrifices his arm to bind Al’s soul to a suit of armor.
From that moment, their journey becomes an epic quest not just to restore what they lost, but to uncover the truth about the world itself. Brotherhood is dark, heartfelt, and unrelenting, with some of the best world-building ever put to screen.
Berserk – The Dark Heart of Fantasy
If Fullmetal Alchemist is about hope and perseverance, then Berserk is its opposite — a plunge into despair. While Kentaro Miura’s manga is vast and unfinished, the 1997 anime adaptation remains legendary.
At its core is Guts, a mercenary wielding a sword larger than most men. His story is violent, tragic, and deeply human. Guts joins the Band of the Hawk, led by the charismatic Griffith — but what begins as brotherhood spirals into one of anime’s most infamous betrayals.
What makes the ’97 series unforgettable is its atmosphere: gritty animation, haunting sound design, and an unflinching look at human ambition and cruelty. Berserk isn’t just a fantasy anime — it’s a cautionary tale wrapped in blood and steel.
Hunter x Hunter – Adventure With a Twist
We follow Gon Freecss, a boy who discovers that his father — once thought dead — is alive and a world-renowned Hunter. Determined to find him, Gon enters the perilous Hunter Exam. But what starts as a boy’s journey quickly evolves into one of the most creative and versatile shonen stories ever written.
Each arc reinvents the show’s rules, blending lighthearted adventure with brutal, high-stakes battles. Don’t let the early playful tone fool you — Hunter x Hunter can get shockingly dark.
Naruto – A Ninja’s Journey Beyond Loneliness
Born with the monstrous Nine-Tails fox sealed inside him, Naruto grows up as an outcast. His dream? To become Hokage and earn the village’s respect. But Naruto’s story isn’t just about flashy ninja battles — it’s about bonds, forgiveness, and carrying the weight of an entire generation.
The series balances emotional arcs with massive political conflicts, all while building one of the most memorable casts in anime. If you’ve somehow never experienced Naruto, this is your sign.
Dororo – A Demon’s Bargain
Raised with prosthetics by a kind doctor, Hyakkimaru grows up determined to hunt down the demons and reclaim his stolen body parts. Alongside him is Dororo, a sharp-witted orphan who brings heart and humor to the otherwise bleak journey.
Stylish, emotional, and packed with breathtaking sword fights, Dororo is proof that even decades-old stories can be reborn into modern masterpieces.
Slayers – Comedy Meets Fantasy Adventure
Long before today’s isekai boom, Slayers was setting the tone for lighthearted fantasy adventures. Based on Hajime Kanzaka’s novels, this anime mixes epic battles with tongue-in-cheek humor.
At the center is Lina Inverse, a teenage sorceress with explosive power and an even bigger reputation. Everywhere she goes, chaos follows — whether from bandits, magical beasts, or her own destructive spells. Teaming up with swordsman Gourry Gabriev, Lina’s misadventures become legendary.
Slayers may feel quirky compared to darker fantasy series, but it laid the foundation for countless modern anime. Without Slayers, the genre as we know it wouldn’t exist.
Vampire Hunter D – Gothic Elegance in Motion
Not all fantasy comes in series form. Vampire Hunter D (1985) is a cinematic legend. Set in a futuristic yet gothic wasteland, the movie follows D, a mysterious vampire hunter hired to kill the powerful Count Magnus Lee before he can claim Doris Lang as his bride.
Equal parts horror, romance, and high fantasy, Vampire Hunter D combines chilling atmosphere with stunning artwork by Yoshitaka Amano. It’s a timeless story about monsters, humanity, and the blurred line between the two.
Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic – Arabian Nights Reimagined
Our hero, Aladdin, is a cheerful young mage whose flute houses a Djinn named Ugo. Alongside new friends, Aladdin explores dungeons filled with supernatural trials, unlocking powers that shape the fate of entire kingdoms.
Vibrant, adventurous, and bursting with charm, Magi is a must-watch for anyone who craves exotic fantasy worlds.
Drifters – Warriors From Across Time
What happens when history’s greatest warriors are thrown into a fantasy battlefield? That’s the premise of Drifters.
After being mortally wounded at the Battle of Sekigahara, samurai Shimazu Toyohisa awakens in a mysterious realm where figures like Oda Nobunaga and Joan of Arc are brought together as “Drifters.” Their mission? To fight back against the “Ends,” an opposing force threatening this strange world.
Equal parts brutal and strategic, Drifters is a thrilling twist on isekai — with real history colliding against pure fantasy chaos.
Dragon Ball – The Fantasy Beginning of a Legend
Before it became the sci-fi powerhouse we know today, Dragon Ball was a pure fantasy adventure. Inspired by Journey to the West, it follows Goku, a boy with a monkey tail and boundless energy.
His quiet life in the mountains changes forever when Bulma recruits him on her quest for the Dragon Balls — mystical orbs that summon a wish-granting dragon. From battling bandits to facing demons, Goku’s journey is a lighthearted yet foundational part of anime history.
Without Dragon Ball, the anime landscape — especially shonen — wouldn’t be what it is today.
So there you have it — ten completed fantasy anime that every fan should experience at least once. From the hopeful bonds of Naruto to the crushing despair of Berserk, these series prove one thing: fantasy in anime isn’t just about escaping reality. It’s about confronting it, transforming it, and sometimes, surviving it.
