- Evil Note: 7.70
- Year: 2012
- Studio: AIC ASTA

A surreal comedy in which humanity has gone over the best phase and now lives with cute elves and absurd bureaucracy. Get ready to laugh at the absurd: papers to sign for everything, crazy inventions and acidic social reflections-all with a crooked smile.
And the funniest? Despite the melancholy tone, the mood is half a remixed afternoon session with, "What if the elves were cute, but totally crazy?" A find for those who enjoy smart humor disguised as nonsense.
19. Undead Murder Farce
- Evil Note: 7.86
- Year: 2023
- Studio: Lapin Track
- Episodes: 13
Imagine Sherlock Holmes with supernatural touches: dead people coming back to solve steampunk epic murders. It has talking corpse, cool detective and very Didgeridoo (yes!).
It makes you want to jump in the scenes with question at the tip of the tongue: "But who is the guilty real?" Mystery, humor, investigation and some bizarre powers make up this package that mixes genres as a macabre DJ.

17. From the New World
- Evil Note: 8.25
- Year: 2012-2013
- Studio: A-1 Pictures
- Episodes: 25
In the future, all humanity has telekinetic powers… But that does not mean easy life, quite the opposite. Between dark secrets, strange rites and heavy revelations, this anime holds from beginning to end. It's that kind of story that we push being “ah, it's a quiet fantasy…” - But out of nowhere, it takes a straight emotional punch on the forehead. It's not just magic, it's deep reflection on society.
16. Magic

- Year: 2012-2013
- Studio: A-1 Pictures

Genius of the lamp? Forget everything you have ever imagined. Here, the world of Aladdin is revisited in an adventure full of ancient magic, conflicting kingdoms and charismatic characters. By the way, Magi has a duo of protagonists so tuned that he wants to call for an adventure with them. The plot mixes political, emotion and magic struggles that make us think, "Why am I still without power?"

15. Slayers
- Evil Note: 7.72
- Year: 1995
- Studio: E&G Films
- Episodes: 26
Slayers is that anime that screams "pure fun." Lina Inverse explodes everything with powerful (and futile) magic, accompanied by clumsy warriors and clueless humor. With each episode, there is a Dungeon, a dragon, or a crazy god - and Lina always releases a hilarious shot before she had in an explosive spell. Great to laugh and give a break relax.
14. Violet Evergarden
- Evil Note: 8.68
- Year: 2018
- Studio: Kyoto Animation
- Episodes: 13
Violet is a walking poetry: a former soldier who now writes letters to other people, drawing emotion and memories with a delicacy of cutting the heart. Each letter is a story, every story is an emotional. You'll get cleaning your eye without even realizing it. Beautiful, sensitive and visually impeccable.
13. MUSHI-SHI
- Evil Note: 8.65
- Year: 2005-2006
- Studio: Artland
- Episodes: 26
Quiet Travel: Ginko crosses calm places, finds subtle creatures called Mushi… and everything becomes a meditation on life, nature and the inexplicable.

12. InuYasha
- Evil Note: 7.87
- Year: 2000-2004
- Studio: Sunrise
- Episodes: 167
Half -demium and modern girl cross a portal, fall into the feudal era and face demons, spirits… and complicated feelings. It's adventure + romance + epic combat. However, there are 100 and so many hours of pure nostalgia: classic villains, heavy emotional bow and that barbate exchange between Kagome and Inuyasha that makes us sigh “glue this duo”.
11. Attack on Titan
- NOTE MAL: 8.56 (Season 1)
- Year: 2013
- Studio: Wit Studio
- Episodes: 25 (season 1)
When walls fall, the war for survival begins. Eita intense series! Pads come out of the cage, Titans appear… and the class fights everything - and a lot of blood. But it's not just action: the story becomes a giant break, full of conspiracies, twists and cliffhangers that stick you to the night.

09. Mononoke
- Evil Note: 8.41
- Year: 2007
- Studio: Toei Animation
- Episodes: 12
Mystical, stylish and mesmerizing. A former onmyoji medical travels by fighting spectra called mononoke, each episode a visual design that runs away from the ordinary.

- Year: 2011
- Studio: Ufotable

War by the sacred chalice: Seven wizards summon historical heroes for brutal battles with strategies, ideologies and a lot of fate. The narrative is dense, dark and very epic. If you like discussion of ideals mixed with Final Superhero Clash, this is your plate.
07. Black Clover
- Evil Note: 8.14
- Year: 2017-2021
- Studio: Pierrot
- Episodes: 170
Asta has no magic, but wants to be the Magician King - and pays off with excalibrated claw, screams and powers. The contrast between hard work and born talent is pure motivational. So each episode gives that cold in the belly: "Will he be able to control this bunny of power?" The vibe is "let's go to the top".
06. Made in abyss
- Evil Note: 8.63 (Season 1)
- Year: 2017
- Studio: Kinema Citrus
- Episodes: 13 (Season 1)
Macabre exploitation in an abyss full of bizarre creatures and disturbing secrets. With cute protagonist face, the anime hides a psychologically heavy plot. Visually beautiful and emotionally devastating, it will delight you and make you think "maybe fantasy should not be just joy ...". A low punch, but a memorable punch.

The best fantasy anime - TOP 03
03. Hunter x Hunter
- Evil Note: 9.03
- Year: 2011-2014
- Studio: Madhouse
- Episodes: 148
Gon and friends dive into a world where hunting biomes, beings and masters is reality. Cool fights, amazing powers and too strategic planning. It's anime that changes from “cuddly” tone to “fucking” in seconds. Each saga is an emotional blow with twists that only let us want bingear (or marathon).
02. Frieren
- Evil Note: 9.30
- Year: 2023-2024
- Studio: Madhouse
- Episodes: 28
After defeating the supreme villain, the heroes separate - except Frieren, an insone elf that tries to understand human time and the finitude of friendship.
It is reflective, smooth and sharp: seeing an immortal dealing with others' finite makes us question the value of time, memories and love. Mature fantasy without dramatic explosion.
01. Ghibli studio movies
- Castle in the Sky (1986)
- My Neighbor Totoro (1988)
- Pom Poko (1994)
- Princess Mononoke (1997)
- Spirited Away (2001)
- Howl's Moving Castle (2004)
- Ponyo (2008)

However, Ghibli is synonymous with dreams in Technicolor: Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Chihiro's trip… each movie, a unique visual and emotional trip.
It has magic, poetry, humor and tears - mixed in a way that makes you revisit childhood (or create a new one). If fantasy is art, Ghipli is his favorite gallery.
