Ruin Explorers
Alt titles: Hikyou Tanken Fam & Ihrlie
Synopsis:
Ihrie and Fam are just two of the many explorers searching ruins for something called the 'ultimate power'. With the 'ultimate power' the owner has the ability to have any wish granted. Of course all the explorers have different motives for finding this relic, ranging from revenge on a curse-casting mentor, to saving a kingdom from utter destruction.

Slayers
- TV (26 eps)
- 1995
Meet Lina Inverse, a mighty sorceress who fights evil in the name of... greed, gluttony and black magic?! When she meets Gourry, a swordsman whose skill with the blade is rivaled only by his stupidity, Zelgadis, a grumpy sorceror who's been turned into a golem, and Rezo, a priest known for his benevolence (with a dark secret), you know her adventures are just beginning!

add recI'm recommending the first Slayers because the overall story is similar to Ruin Explorers, in how they are looking for an ultimate power to save the kingdom from danger. But you should really watch the Slayers story from the beginning.
High fantasy, slap-stick humor, magic, and a group of less then ideal heroes. Unfortunately there is not much more to say then that, if you liked one then I must insist you try the other.
Slayers and Ruin Explorers have many similarities apart from the art style: they are set in a fantasy world where the characters are searching for treasure and even the humour is similar. Anyone who likes Slayers will definitely like Ruin Explorers and vice versa.
Rune Soldier
Alt titles: Mahou Senshi Louie
- TV (24 eps)
- 2001
Louie is a student at a mage’s school, but secretly yearns for adventure. One night he meets a group of treasure hunters: Melissa, a Mylee priestess; Genie, a warrior; and Merill, a thief. They are in need of a mage so Louie volunteers to join them, but they decline his offer when they witness his poor mage skills. The next day, Melissa prays to her god to guide her to the hero she should serve. Her god replies that the next man she sees will be her hero, after which Louie literally falls down from the sky! Against her will, Louie is the hero she should honor and thus, Louie is accepted into their group. He is now a treasure hunter, mage, warrior, and hero?! With little expertise in anything, he can't possibly be of much use!

add recTreasure hunters, high fantasy, magic, slap-stick humor, and similar characters. I seem to be running out of things to say, liked one, try the other.
Both shows feature treasure hunting with a rag-tag party in a story which seems more a parody of the classic fantasy elements that an actual epic adventure.
And lots of fun :D!
King of Bandit Jing

From desert bandit fortresses to the innermost sanctums of kings and queens, if there's a magnificent treasure to be had, you can be sure Jing has his eyes (and later his hands) on it.

add recJust as Jing is ALWAYS on a journey to loot some sort of treasure from somewhere, have no doubt the characters in Ruin Explorers will be doing so as well.

add recHunter X Hunter is just a really good series, but the adventure aspect is very similar to Ruin Explorers, not to mention the characters are animated very similarly.

add recI don't know exactly why it is, but I know that if you liked all the aspects that showed up briefly in Ruin Explorers, such as: magic and sword fights, Ophen has a lot of those things in abundance.
