Meanwhile, in a village, the young Raki has been banished; his only crime was losing his family to the yoma. Raki is drawn to a Claymore named Clare, and together their journey begins.

No doubt this anime is very very very similar with Claymore in style. Sword mosters and badass fights... And plus an incredible storyline.

Swords, demon-slaying, and superb characterisation: if you liked those elements in Berserk, then you will find them done just as well in Claymore. Claymore, like Berserk 2017, has a classic medieval setting and combines it with a gory, action-packed style. At the same time, it doesn't lose sight of the characters, who are memorable and really fun to journey with.

Ajin: Demi-Human

Ajin: Demi-Human

The first Ajin appeared 17 years ago and quickly became the most important discovery to mankind. While they appear to be human, Ajin are rare, immortal beings that are feared by the populace. Only 46 are known to exist in the world, and most try to hide their existence, for capture means being subjected to brutal experiments that never end. Kei Nagai is a boy who dreams of becoming a doctor to heal his sister one day, but after he dies - and revives - in a car accident, he learns the terrifying truth that he too is an Ajin. Now, Kei finds himself on the run from both human and Ajin monsters that wish to do him harm, while struggling with his new, unwanted identity.

Lots of action, fights, violence and gore. Characters are always getting better and both anime have a strong antagonist. Great soundtracks, dark atmosphere and realistic animation.

Rage of Bahamut: Genesis

Rage of Bahamut: Genesis

Two thousand years ago, the dragon Bahamut terrorized the magical land of Mistarcia. The humans, gods, and demons that inhabited the land joined forces against the fiend and bound its power to a key which was split in two—one half guarded by gods and the other by demons. Mistarcia became a peaceful realm—until the fateful day a woman stole the god’s half of the key.

Berserk (2017) offers some excellent high fantasy (swords and dragons type) storytelling. If you enjoyed the quest structure, it's engaging and excellently written characters, and the way good and bad aren't always so binary, as well as some excellent world-building that relies on a mish-mash of demons and gods and monsters and spirits etc, then Rage of Bahamut will really float your boat. It visually looks better than Berserk 2017 but delivers a story that is as satisfying at the Berserk franchise.
