Got any interesting fantasy anime/manga's you're reading right now? Do you like stories that explore the setting/characters more than have a plot?

Remember to stop Orc brutality against innocent Elven women. They did nothing to deserve it.

I find large-breasted elves to be abominations. They're supposed to be slender, almost childlike in appearance.
I'm not saying they should have DFC, but they should definitely be on the small side.
>>
>>134071517
>They're
Man when it came to the original lore of elves I never heard of them being on the small side.

Health is fine.

Tolkien

Anon we all like Tolkien, but come on.
>>
>>134071754
I wouldn't have brought him up if you hadn't asked for "original lore". I'd have been happy to leave my opinion as just that, my opinion.
>>
>>134071754
And D&D as well.
Forgotten realms. Maybe not the stronger bit, though.

And in the last one elves can be as tall as a fellow human. They're usually slender and always *fabulous*.

Except Jon Irenicus but he's an special case.

When will a proper high fantasy anime be produced?
>>
>>134071702
In Tolkien elves were like 7 feet tall, bad example.
>>
>>134071984
Never.

You have Lodoss. And Queen's Blade.
>>
>>134071984
Never, it doesn't sell.
>>
>>134071343
Berserk is pretty much the only good Western-like high fantasy anime/manga.
Perverted Japs seems to care more about their shitty Orc rape doujinshi than good stories or good characters.

Limiting your research to their porn kind of gives you that impression, doesn't it?
>>
>>134071984
bikini warriors was a proper high fantasy anime

>>134072171
>I have read fifty manga
>>
>>134072197
No, it was a parody of RPG tropes.
>>
>>134072228
then what about Tanken Driland
>>
Even The Hobbit is better than Japanese fantasy.
>>
>>134072371
That's a fucking low blow.
>>
>>134072096
Lodoss was really good.
>>
Re:Monster is a pretty nice read, check it out if you like shield hero
>>
>>134072638
Re:monster is fucking trash, and even Shield Hero after it turned bad is miles better. Shield Hero when it was good was completely different - it was an outcast and a daughteru, not an OP bastard and his massive harem and army.
>>
slayers/lodoss war are as good as fantasy is going to get for a long time

i wonder what other fantasy shows there are that i might have missed over the years
>>
>>134072667
The similarities are there, never said one was better than the other

Best ongoing fantasy series right now.

I'm a sucker for NG+ scenarios. Kail and his party being so enjoyable helps a lot too.

I need to stop posting after waking up.

This has been consistently great, although I don't think it will appeal to everyone because the lore is given in bits and pieces and the plot progresses slowly.
>>
>>134071984
When one day. A man who knows high-fantasy types up a story, makes a good WN,WC that it gets turned into an anime/movie.

But until then we wait. When it happens the Golden Age of Anime will occur.
