LotR fans shouldn't miss these anime.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Lord of the Rings is undeniably the biggest fantasy franchise in the world, and it has inspired countless works, including many anime series. The books and films are among the most successful pieces of media in history, and not only is it common for stories of any genre to reference it, but its story beats helped lay the foundation for the entire fantasy genre for the decades that followed.
While some elements might not be appropriate for viewing, especially in the infamous first episode, Goblin Slayer is still a standout fantasy anime. Not only does the premise make for a good deconstruction of classic fantasy conventions, but Goblin Slayer’s writing and worldbuilding allow for an engaging dark take on Dungeons & Dragon-style fantasy, with that sort of influence even being directly part of the overarching lore.

The focus is primarily on the comedic hijinks of the cast, but going right along with that, Slayers has some of the most intricate and interesting worldbuilding of any fantasy story, and the way they complement each other always makes for incredible storytelling.
The biggest hallmark of Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World’s success is its dark storytelling. Subaru’s constant and gruesome deaths are one thing, but Re:Zero constantly deconstructs typical isekai anime through Subaru’s self-loathing and how much he has to work for everything, making for a much more serious take on the genre than other stories like it.
