Excel Saga

Alt titles: Heppoko Jikken Animation Excel Saga

Excel Saga main image

F City, F Prefecture: the battleground where good and evil have finally chosen to decide once and for all who will rule the world…or at least that's the general idea! Neither side seems up for the task, as surviving the brutality of everyday life is enough of a chore. On the side of evil is the organization of Across, its only member the loudmouthed and abrasive Excel who struggles just to put food in her stomach; on the side of good, three disenfranchised, unemployed bachelors whose only pursuit in life is romance. Add in alien invasions, jungle warfare, and Mexican immigrant laborers to Japan, and this war doesn't seem likely to be ending soon!

Those Who Hunt Elves sticks more to spoofing fantasy, while Excel goes on to spoof all the major genre's. If you liked the wierdness of Those Who Hunt Elves, or if you're just fond of laughing, I highly recommend this series for you.

The crazy things and people in Excel Saga will laugh you to your grave, and just as funny as they are, are the crazy antics of the odd group called Those Who Hunt Elves will bounce you right back out. It's hard to say which one is better, as Those Who Hunt Elves is shorter and has a plot that makes sense, while Excel Saga is just plain wacky. Either way, if you like one you'll like both.

El Hazard and Those Who Hunt Elves are quite similar in that the protagonists of both series are people from our world are drawn into a fantasy setting, and need to embark on a grand adventure to get home (and maybe just save that fantasy world in the process). El Hazard doesn't focus as much on comedy as Those Who Hunt Elves, but if you liked one, you're sure to like the other.

a wonderful slightly less comedic world that will be appriciated by fans of those who hunt elves

King of Bandit Jing

Join the king of thieves Jing and his plumed partner Kir as they seek out the greatest treasures in the world - and steal them. 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.

While lighter on the humour, Those Who Hunt Elves and King of Bandits Jing share that feeling of adventure of excitement that you get from fantasy settings. The King of Bandits Jing world is more original and almost has a surreal mythical edge to it, but both series center around characters who experience many adventures in a fantasy world.

Slayers

Slayers main image

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!

both series have its accent on humor and are located in a fantasy world. Though where Slayers is more focussed on an actual storyline, Those Who Hunt Elves is rather random and more aimed at the male, mature public. The characters, especially Gourry and Junpei, are quite similar in quite a few cases. the mian difference between the two series is that Slayers actually becomes more serious over time, where Those Who Hunt Elves continues to be lighthearted all series long.

Trigun

Trigun main image

“Vash, the Stampede” - worth 60 billion dollars to the one who can turn him in. Bounty hunters everywhere are on the lookout for this legendary gunman, not to mention insurance agents Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, who are tasked with preventing any potential damage that this Vash can cause. But with 60 billion on his head, Vash is not an easy man to find.

Even though this series definitely has a more serious side later on, there are a lot of parts that flat out had me rolling. Again, if you enjoy a good laugh, here is a series worth checking out.
