Here is everything you need to know about the best fantasy anime on HBO Max.

Spirited Away

As Studio Ghibli’s crown gem, Spirited Away transcends the boundaries of the anime medium. The fantasy movie won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. It became the highest-grossing Japanese film.

Spirited Away is an outstanding work of creative genius. Its main character, Chihiro Ogino, undergoes a wondrous journey throughout its runtime. Along the way, she explores a breathtaking, hand-drawn fantasy world that elicits feelings of childlike awe among even the most stoic anime fans.

Tokyo Revengers

Tokyo Revengers opts for a more innovative route. Its main character, Takemichi Hanagaki, has been on a downhill slide since graduating from school. But after a freak accident grants him the ability to go back in time. He earns a second chance at the life that passed him by.

The setting of Tokyo Revengers isn’t necessarily fantasy-driven. It mostly takes place in a realistic version of modern-day Tokyo.

Weathering With You

Weathering with You became the seventh highest-grossing anime movie of all time. The fantasy-romance film is a breath of fresh air for fans of both genres. Hodaka Morishima, a first-year high schooler living in rural Japan, functions as the protagonist of Weathering with You.

After he runs away to live in Tokyo, he encounters a girl capable of controlling the weather. Together, they embark on a journey that explores their bond with one another and their impact on the physical world around them.

My Neighbor Totoro

The fantasy genre isn’t intrinsically related to children’s media. But films like My Neighbor Totoro exemplify the natural synergy between the two. Its entire narrative is infused with an innocent sense of wonder. It results in a portrayal of the world that elicits many of the same emotions experienced by kids who are seeing the world for the first time.

My Neighbor Totoro’s titular spirit became the overarching mascot for the entire Studio Ghibli franchise, which speaks to the lasting influence of this movie. My Neighbor Totoro tells the story of a child whose mother is severely sick.

Noblesse

Noblesse, alongside Tower of God and The God of High School, forms the initial trio of Korean webcomics. While the series hasn’t enjoyed the same commercial success as its two peers. It’s still among the most successful South Korean anime in recent memory, making it an excellent addition to HBO Max.

Noblesse continues the narrative of the 2016 OVA Noblesse: Awakening, and although the latter isn’t a prerequisite for enjoying Noblesse, it definitely provides some helpful context. Rai, the franchise’s protagonist, is over 800 years old, so learning about his rich history pays off significantly as the anime continues.
