Dark fantasy – it’s Lord of The Rings if everyone was a little bit Patrick Bateman! While the genre tends to be dominated by prestige titles like Game of Thrones and The Witcher, dark fantasy is making waves in the anime world. Some of these grimdark tales are so hopeless, so brutal, so nightmarish that they could make Joffrey Baratheon squirm – without the aid of strangulation poison. Here are 10 of the best dark fantasy anime series around – consider yourself warned.
Mononoke
(Toei Animation)Mononoke is a dark historical fantasy series set in a heightened Edo period Japan. The plot follows a mysterious man known as The Medicine Seller as he travels the kaleidoscopic countryside searching for spirits to exorcise. A “monster of the week” miniseries, each episode focuses on a fresh cast of characters haunted by ancient foes. Before The Medicine Seller can draw his exorcising sword and banish the spirit, he needs to find the identity and motive of the monster – only then will the blade activate. It’s a surreal spiritual detective series – YuYu Hakusho on Burning Man levels of acid. While the show only ran for one season, the story is far from over, and a three part film trilogy is currently in production. Mononoke The Movie: The Phantom In The Rain should be next on your watchlist.
