Fantasy Anime
Fantasy anime doesn't stop at "medieval Europe with magic" -- it happily mixes folklore, spirits, and totally original cosmologies. *Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood* raised the bar by combining tight worldbuilding, alchemy rules, and political intrigue without dropping the emotional ball.
Common Misconception
Fantasy anime is just the same knights-and-dragons setup over and over.
Underrated Pick
The Eccentric Family -- a whimsical, emotional story about tanuki, tengu, and family messes in modern Kyoto.
