what is high fantasy?
>>
>>134575359
It's the other way around, faggot.
>>
>>134575462
>High fantasy is defined as fantasy set in an alternative, fictional ("secondary") world, rather than "the real", or "primary" world. The secondary world is usually internally consistent, but its rules differ from those of the primary world. By contrast, low fantasy is characterized by being set in the primary, or "real" world, or a rational and familiar fictional world, with the inclusion of magical elements

Basically LOTR

Holy shit that hentai flash game I remember jacking to that before when I was desperate good times good times.

Btw you're a fagget OP.

So basically a fantasy setting that isn't on Earth?

Just curious, what's a low fantasy?

Smoking weed, doing mushrooms, or on acid?

Vanadis was fun. Oratoria anime will be great.
>>
>>134575642
It's listed under "Not as good"
>>
>>134575594
>Attack on Titan
It's low fantasy
>>
Probably turns into haremshit or its a haremshit sadly. So nope.
>>
>>134575677
that's a bit of an understatement

Does Space Fantasy that meets the definition of High Fantasy count as High Fantasy or is it still SF because space?
>>
>>134575594
>Log Horizon
If the MMO elements are ignored, could be decent.

>Fate/Stay Night
>Railgun no Index
Seriously nigger?

>Attack on Titan
Really really serious?
>>
>>134575740
It's still Scifi

Damn, that kind of pisses me off

>>134575740
High Fantasy usually incorporates what is viewed as a "historical" setting even if there are many advanced and magical weapons in there. So no.

Everyone lives in stone castles and wears Victorian-era clothes yet they fight with mechanical moving swords and travel on flying ships fuelled by a blue source of infinite energy is still High Fantasy.
Space, where everything is just "advanced" isn't.
>>
>>134575298
Escaflowne
Magic Knight Rayearth
>>
>>134575298
Berserk
>>
>>134575807
Quite a few far future space opera series' feature historical architecture/fashion/class systems
>>
>>134575827
Depending on just how featured they are, it may or may not be High Fantasy. Gankutsuou has all of those, but I would still argue that it's more of a SciFi fantasy.
>>
>>134575462
Fantasy you watch while you're high. Basically a rec thread made by a /b/tard.
Sage.
>>
>>134575416
Kyoukai Senjou? It's more fantasy with scifi elements, not really what I'd consider high fantasy It's the kind of fantasy I like the most
>>
>>134575811
Escalowne would be fantastic if it were 25 episodes longer, but alas it's underdeveloped as fuck in a lot of respects.
>>
>>134575512
Why isn't Freezing on that list?
>>
>>134575902
I think i'll watch it again.

I like the Drag/Mecha concept.
>>
Rage of bahamut, though that had more of a sword & sorcery vibe.
>>
>>134575917
I don't know. I don't made this chart. If you think a better chart could be made, go ahead and make one. I think everyone would appreciate it.
>>
>>134575298
Literally no it's a shame.

I don't see why you'd want to skip any episodes.

The Berserk Franchise works as follows to my knowledge:

>The Manga is the original story
>The anime follows the first season
That's not too different from the standards, it's the movies where it gets weird
>The three movies retell the entire story of the anime

Considering that means condensing all 25 episodes into 9 hours max, the movies skip a lot of the anime's material. The movies also use a lot of CGI which upsets some people. Then again, the anime in turn doesn't tell everything the manga tells.

Consider the movies an abridged version of the manga, for if you don't have a lot of time. Read the manga if you want to know what happens after the events of the movie/anime.

>>134575512
>Legend of the Legendary Heroes

Yeah fuck. if we can only get the sequel.
The LN translations is basically dead.
>>
>>134575575
High fantasy is just pure fantasy so low fantasy would just use fantasy elements. Everything >>134575594 is low fantasy.
>>
>>134575826
Firstly, it's not high fantasy. Secondly it's dark fantasy and it fully unravel in the manga, whereas in the anime it only touches the subject.
>>134577199
Watch the old anime series, then read the manga, then watch the movies.
>>
>>134575512
/r/is a board for photoshop requests. Why would someone post something about anime there?

Twelve Kingdoms

>>134575298

> Berserk

> Magic Knight Reyarth
> Sorcerous Stabber Orphen
> RLW

All of those are fucking awesome. Also movies like Howls moving Castle are great.

I reckon when the nips go western they do some pretty good stuff... though it can fail...

I know Outbreak company wasn't exactly high fantasy, but it had the elements despite being harem.
