Granblue Fantasy The Animation

Anime that is adapted from a video game.

These travelers wander from place to place for various reasons. They may travel the land for their job, be on a journey due to a strong sense of wanderlust, or are adventurers on a quest of some sort. Others may be homeless, exiled, or on the run and have no place to put down roots. Basically, a list of non-isekai shows from various genres where the characters change location frequently.

A non-curated roster of High Fantasy works.

High Fantasy is a subgenre of Fantasy focusing on entirely original worlds and histories, as opposed to Low Fantasy, where the magical and/or supernatural instead intrude upon the Earth that we know. Note that the term "High" does not mean this subgenre is of inherently greater quality than the other, though of course many have identified such a coincidental trend.

It is a common misconception that High Fantasy and Low Fantasy instead refer to the level to which magic and all it entails are integrated into the world, with those where said elements are abundant being "High" and if rare then "Low." This is, however, completely incorrect, as the distinction is actually in how removed the world is from our own.

There is, naturally, a spectrum between the subgenres, rather than a clear-cut line. Isekai, for instance, is somewhere in the middle, as though works of that genre typically involve a completely fictional setting, the real world is still relevant. For that reason, no Isekai appear on this list, thankfully.

Because of the popularity of what was mentioned above, High Fantasy is in something of a state of decline. Note that the majority of entries shown are from before the turn of the century. Care has been taken, however, to include more recent examples, few though there are.

Sequels, remakes, spinoffs and the like are omitted for brevity.

Dragons in dragon form that play an important role in their respective anime.

Anime adaptations of various gacha games, that is, basically mobile games of various genres (mostly musical or associated with moe anthropomorphism), where you play to earn points that can be spent on getting limited attractive characters (or cards with them) in a virtual analogue of a vending machine. Popularly, these anime are also often referred to as waifu or hasubendo bait shows due to the large number of attractive characters that the adaptation advertises to entice you to download the game.

Anime with lots of fan art. This includes everything from well-known anime to adaptations of video games to anime popular in Japan to forgotten classics. Data is taken from a certain website with tags as of April 2, 2024.

All these anime's include very shippable characters who mostly have no other person in the anime you could possibly ship them with. This is a marketing ploy because this makes anime/ships very popular as well as being apart of the lgbtqia+ community is not openly embraced by any Asian media. A lot of these anime's has novels, manga chps, side manga, official art, and drama cds that are very suggestive or downright very gay. They have all have very suggestive scenes in the animes as well including op, ed, end credits that are very fruity.

disclaimer: Includes anime with non-canon couples, non canon lgbt but all animes are gay coded in a way that queer people recognize. Also most have anime with canon lgbtqia+ characters

Update:
-- added Yuuki Bakuhatsu Bang Bravern (Brave Bang Bravern!)
-- added Cygames page on MAL

I just realized there is a connection between several anime I enjoyed: Zombie Land Saga, Granblue Fantasy, and Princess Connect!: Re: Dive. They are all from Cygames. I usually don't pay much attention to the studios and producers behind the anime I like, but in this case, I thought the stories were entertaining and the animation was a cut above. The fights in Princess Connect were especially well done. And I really enjoyed the music in Zombie Land. I've heard good things about Akiba Maid War but I'm afraid I can't vouch for the rest.

This stack contains all Cygames animations listed on the Cygames web site as of Winter 2024.

I just discovered the Cygames page on MAL. There are a lot more shows listed there than on the Cygames website. I'll only update this stack if I have something meaningful to contribute.

List of anime series that are VRMMO, Isekai that's inspired by a video game, or a series that has leveling up and dungeons.

from the animelon 'about' page:

"Learning a language can be difficult; often times it is boring and tedious, so we want to help the language learning community by providing a more entertaining and engaging way to learn. The idea of Animelon is to provide interactive tools that assist users in learning Japanese as they watch anime. If you love watching anime, why not make more out of the time spent?"

this is part of a series of stacks on the japanese-language-learning-focused anime streaming site animelon. the anime are listed first in order of difficulty ranking according to JPDB, from the easiest (level 1) to the most difficult (level 10), and then by MAL members of the earliest season listed. I will include include all seasons, entries etc. that are available on animelon, with notes that include information on other series entries.
