- Yona of the Dawn by KUSANAGI FUCKING MIZUHO
- Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
- A Lull in the Sea
- Rokka: Brave of the Six Flowers
- Akame ga Kill
These are some examples of animes with the fantasy genre but in all honesty, I only enjoy three out of five of them. Numbers one, three, and four. A Lull in the Sea is also a really nice show but I don't consider it as one of my favorites and Akame ga Kill is just a whole mess of characters, plot, setting, and conflict. It's one of the most messiest things I've ever seen but it's just an example of what can go wrong in the fantasy genre.
Yona is about a princess who turns 15, and on the night of her birthday, her father is killed by her cousin who wants to take over the throne. She's forced to escape her castle with her bodyguard to avoid being killing as well. She wants to protect herself and her friend so she seeks help from a priest who tells her that she should find the four dragons and unite them under her. She sets on a journey to find them.
A Lull in the Sea is about a new species of people, those that can live underwater. These people can go into the land but they need to return to the sea to avoid their skin cracking and becoming hydrated. The social dynamic of this show is interesting because the sea people and land people have different and bad opinions of each other. Then one day, a hibernation of sorts falls upon all of the sea people and they are forced into a very long sleep. The protagonist, a sea person, isn't affected by this because they were on land when this happened. This story is about how the protagonist lives with his sleeping world and the world above.
Rokka is about a monster trying to destroy the world and God, trying to save the world, gives six people the power to band together and take the monster down. The six people must unite at a certain location and then set on a journey together but once they meet up, they realize that there's seven of them instead. This is confusing. The line is drawn when the group realizes that someone is a fake and the show revolves around finding the fake of the group.
