Bastard!!

Bastard!! main image

The Four Lords of Havoc have one terrible goal – to awaken the god Anthrasax and recreate the world. To stop them, Yoko, a maiden of Metallicana, awakens the ancient wizard Dark Schneider from within a 14-year old boy by bestowing upon him her virgin kiss. The only problem now is that the most chaotic, lecherous wizard in history resides inside the body of an innocent child. Even worse, he’s determined that neither hydras nor minotaurs should stand between him and his dream to conquer everyone and take the women for himself… all of which is less than convenient when trying to save the world!

Asgorath

Both Bastard!! and Amon Saga have that same "sword & sorcery" feeing, and feature fantasy worlds in which monsters roam free and great tyrannical rulers try and conquer all the good and just nations of the world.

Of course, while in Amon Saga our hero is truly a hero who must face his trials in the usual way, in Bastard our hero simply beats the piss out of everything -- being so overpowering, he can just do whatever he pleases. Both of them, however, are out for revenge and have an archenemy that they want revenge on (who, in both cases, happens to be a tyrannical ruler out to conquer/destroy the entire world).

Another old-school fantasy-themed show that will let you understand how even back in the days japanese animation had not to envy to mainstream western animated blockbuster.

On the contrary, you will probably find these films less chessy and more filled with contents than any other disneyan work of the same era.

Arion

Arion main image

In the ancient time of the gods, a son of the titans was born: Arion, borne of Demeter and Poseidon, the lord of the sea. After being kidnapped to the realm of the Underworld by Hades, Arion is sent on a mission to destroy Zeus, the lord of the heavens, in retribution for causing his mother's blindness. In his quest, he will gain new friends and face the powers of the gods themselves as he struggles to strike down Zeus and save the one he loves from the evil Apollo.

Weathering Continent and Amon Saga are both fantasies, but are also dark and moody, something that most fantasies aren't. I think if you liked one, you'd like the other.

Landlock

When Luda was a young boy, he was taught about the powers of the wind from his father, powers he would someday inherit. The tranquillity of Luda and his sister Ansa's lives was finally shattered when a young woman named Agahali, under the command of Lord Zanark, destroyed their village and killed their father, for he possessed the power of the wind which could destroy their kingdom in the sky. With nothing left to lose, Luda must now act quickly to destroy Zanark and his father's murderer with his newly discovered power of the wind.

Landlock and Amon Saga both are fairly unusual and dark fantasy tales, with good animation but a lack of good characters. If you liked one, why not try the other?
