Few things are more frightening than a girl that needs her beauty sleep, making Princess Syalis easily one of the most terrifying creatures in the Demon Lord’s castle. After being kidnapped from her kingdom by the demons hoping to force her country to surrender, Syalis takes her new living situation rather well. That is, until she realizes just how uncomfortable demon beds are. War, demons, and princesses are no strangers to fantasy anime but silly premise combined with the reversed dynamic of abductor and abductee keep you thoroughly entertained.

Don’t take our word for it, take to heart the reviews of Stunk, Zel, and Crim to tell you just how great the various fantastical courtesans are. Stunk and Zel are hilariously depraved while Crim is a reluctantly horny angel. There’s certainly something for everyone, provided you’re not shy about sex. While clearly popular for horny value, it does offer a somewhat introspective and diverse look at sex challenges some mainstream views. Beyond its sex appeal, Ishuzoku Reviewers is also hilarious and daring and the surprises don’t stop.

Of course, the original Inuyasha fans will rejoice at seeing the next generation of half-demons but Yashahime on its own provides a lot for new fans. The same themes of time-travel, demons, priestesses, and coveted jewels are there but with new characters! The daughters of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha aren’t carbon copies of their parents but you can certainly see traces of them in the little fighters. The mystery behind their missing parents and memories adds a new layer of intrigue to an otherwise familiar storyline. Epic fights sprinkled across this vast, ancient world mixing history with lore make for a grand sense of adventure!

While some fantasy series have the good, the bad, and the journey all laid out, Tower of God keeps you curious with every level you ascend. One’s strength and intelligence are tested along with their very bonds to others. The trials themselves are often solved completely opposite to common sense and the rules don’t always seem to hold. Of course, one can expect those called Irregulars not summoned to the Tower would shake things up but it makes you wonder if one can truly find their wish granted upon making it to the top as is promised.

If you’re expecting eloquent magicians facing off against vicious dragons in a beautiful fantasy landscape, put all those thoughts aside. Dorohedoro is a gritty, modern take on the genre that feels almost too real despite the foreign plot. Aptly named Hole is the city that poor, weak humans live and are preyed on by the all-powerful sorcerers to test their magic. Luckily for the residents of Hole, Kaiman and Nikaidou aren’t afraid to viciously maul the would-be assailants hoping to one day fix Kaiman’s crocodilian appearance. There’s so much going on with the residents of Hole and amongst the sorcerers that is can be overwhelming even without the fast-paced, vicious battles every few minutes.
