The Best Dark Fantasy Series Ever Made

Berserk is one of those series that fans should watch without prejudice, but only if they are prepared to dive into one of the darkest action animes of the fantasy genre. It’s a bloody tale of friendship, betrayal, and revenge, starred by one of the most powerful swordmasters in anime: Guts.

The tale of how Guts joins the Band of The Hawk, led by Griffith, the fall of the perfect hero, and the birth of one of the worst (and most hated) villains in the history of anime is simply magnificent. It’s art is incredible. unapologetic, and a perfect fit for that grimdark setting. Fans of Übel Blatt will see this series as a perfect fit for their taste.

Awakening as a powerful Dragon Slayer, Ragna breaks bonds with his former companions and embarks in a journey to join forces with the former Ruler of The Bloodlines and King of all Dragons: Crimson. Intrigued by his proposal of killing all the dragons in the planet (including Crimson himself) the former monarch accepts to aid him, for a price: he is to become his personal toy and weapon, and ends up dancing to the tune of his evil schemes. A bloody and gory action series with dozens of incredible twists.

Blood-C

Incredible Battles Against Supernatural Creatures

• Release Year: 2011
• Number of Episodes: 12

This spin-off from the Blood series is not about a teenage girl hunting vampires, but about a teenage girl hunting yokai and strange monsters that feed on people, so kind of the same but a little bit more bloody and gory than the original run. For those who enjoyed the bloody combat in Übel Blatt, they will find lots of gory action here was well.

The story is not intricate and quite self-explanatory so it is easy to follow: Saya was trained to fight against monsters, and she possesses both superhuman speed and strength, though she remains a young and quite ‘innocent’ girl who barely knows how to distinguish right from wrong. Lots of dismemberment, weird creatures eating humans, and cool action scenes, but there’s not much to say about character development or the story itself.

Blood+

A Classic Of Dark Fantasy And Gothic Horror

The original run of the Blood series starring (the original) Saya and her custodian, the mysterious Hagi. Besides the incredibly intense action scenes, the gory battles, and intricate plot, this story has some good character developments. With Saya dangerously walks the thin line between what remains of her humanity and her vampiric nature, which constantly threatens to make her lose control.

Her appearance might be that of a young teenage girl, but she is an ancient vampire queen that has been going around for nearly 200 years. Hers is the duty to stop her twin sister Diva from filling the world with blood-sucking monsters, and she will do so with absolute prejudice, wielding a samurai sword. This series is the precursor of many contemporary anime where the main protagonist wields a katana to fight against supernatural beings.

Trinity Blood

Another Great Dark Fantasy Series

Trinity Blood is set in a post-apocalyptic future where Terrans (Humans) are fighting for survival against vampires called Metuselahns. The series is narrated from the perspective of Abel Nightroad, a member of the Vatican special task force known as AX, which is tasked with stopping a radical terrorist group that wants to make the conflict eternal.

Abel holds many secrets that are revealed throughout the plot. In a similar way to Köinzel from Übel Blatt, he fights for revenge as much as he does for peace. He is a conflicted character who shows both sides of the anti-heroic coin: the human-charming nature and the brutal, bloodthirsty, and vicious vigilante.

Drifters

A Band Of Crazy Misfits Is Summoned To Another World To Fight Against Jesus And His Army Of Orcs

Drifters is a divisive isekai anime where the most notorious (and war-crazed) individuals are brought to a fantasy-like world at the behest of a bespectacled god, to fight against another summoned being of epic proportions: The Black King, which is, in theory, Jesus Christ itself leading an army of dangerous creatures to punish humanity.

Zany plot aside, the fighting scenes, full-scale battles, and combination of modern technology and war tactics make this strange combination of characters from various Japanese time periods some kind of a dream team to lead the war against the enemy Drifter and his less-than-good army of orcs, goblins, and other dark (and rejected) creatures of this dark fantasy world.
