One famous anime creator explains what makes their series such a popular fantasy story. Fantasy has always been one of anime's main genres, having produced countless worlds whose mythology and imagination rival the greatest works of traditional fantasy literature. Classic series like Record of Lodoss War helped establish Japanese high fantasy inspired by tabletop role-playing games. Slayers approached many of the same conventions through fast-paced comedy and explosive magic, and Berserk pushed fantasy toward brutal medieval horror. Inuyasha blended feudal Japan with demons, folklore, and romance, and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood merged fantasy tropes with industrial-era aesthetics.
