20 Retro Fantasy Anime You Should Watch
Before isekai took over anime, fantasy used to look very different. Hand-painted backgrounds, hand-drawn magic, orchestral soundtracks, and classic sword and sorcery storytelling. In this video, I’m recommending 20 retro fantasy anime that are worth watching, including classic OVAs, movies, and TV series from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
This list includes anime like Berserk 1997, Record of Lodoss War, Escaflowne, Slayers, Arslan, Magic Knight Rayearth, and many forgotten fantasy anime gems that deserve more attention.
If you are tired of modern isekai and want real fantasy anime with atmosphere, adventure, and classic storytelling, this video is for you.
