The season is autumn, and the arrival of October means the start of all the fall anime! So, this time, Akiba Research Institute recommends "2019 Autumn Anime" as a special feature! The key point of this fall is "other world/fantasy" anime.

In recent years, "otherworldly/fantasy" anime, in which real-world residents are transported to another world, has become a major genre, but Akiba Research Institute dares to push for full-fledged fantasy (high fantasy) anime set in a fictional world!

Akiba Research Institute has taken the liberty of selecting five "other world/fantasy" anime titles to watch this fall! We have chosen them not only from the fall cool season, but also from the anime that aired this year, so whether you are looking for an interesting anime or can't go out because of a big typhoon, we hope you enjoy them!

GRANBLUE FANTASY The Animation Season2

This is the second season of the animation based on the popular smartphone game by Cygames.

The previous work was also a hit for its beautiful visuals and careful depiction of action, and this time around, the same is true. The story is set in a sea of clouds, and depicts the great adventures of Gran and Luria.

The production team has been renewed from Season 2, and the studio has been switched from A-1 Pictures to MAPPA. The character designs have also been completely changed, with a more mature arrangement.

Fans of the game, as well as fans of J-RPGs such as "Dracula" and "Final Fantasy," will not want to miss this production!

The Seven Deadly Sins: Gods in Background

This is the third anime series based on the comic series written by Suzuki Osamu, serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine (Kodansha), and is probably the most popular fantasy work among fans today, with a theater version produced in addition to the TV series.

This work depicts a fierce battle between mankind and the demon tribe, centering on a group of knights known as the "Seven Deadly Sins. Because it is serialized in a shonen manga magazine, it is a fantasy work with elements of battle, and is characterized by its gripping drama.

On the other hand, its unique characters are also a secret of its popularity. Meliodas, the enigmatic leader of the "Seven Deadly Sins," and the heroine Elizabeth, who is surprisingly active, while we thought she was a girl in a box (......). Whether it is a pig or something else, the unidentified mascot Hawk, and many other characters are fun just to watch them in action. Personally, I love Diane, who is a giant and a strong fighter, but on the inside she is a maiden of appropriate age!

Radian (2nd season)

Just recently, the news of the disappearance of anime from primetime ...... has hit the net, but haven't you all forgotten about "Radian"! This work is currently airing to rave reviews every Wednesday from 19:25 in the middle of prime time.

Based on a manga by French cartoonist Tony Valento, it is characterized by its studied depiction of Japanese manga tastes.

Set in the fantasy world of Phalenos, where continents and islands float in the sky, the story is an adventure fantasy in which a boy named Set travels to become a full-fledged wizard.

The story is set in a world that Japanese fantasy RPG fans will find easy to relate to. The story is a fun battle action film, but it also has a social theme, reflecting France, where immigration issues have long been on the surface and people are very conscious of their human rights.

Children will find the story amusing and cool, while adults will be impressed by the surprisingly deep storyline, making this a primetime favorite for men and women of all ages.

The first season is currently being distributed on various services. If you have not seen it yet, why don't you start from there and experience the world of this work?

Is it Wrong to Seek Encounters in Dungeons II

It has been four years since the first season, in which the "string of examples" caused quite a stir. This summer, the second season of the series was aired.

The dungeon element in this work, which focuses on the daily lives of Belle and Hestia and human drama, is rather light. However, the title is true! The third season of the series is scheduled to be broadcast in the summer of 2020, and in a sense, this collection of episodes can be seen as a bridge from the first to the third season.

In addition, Belle's unwavering kindness and Hestia's cute appearance as ever are a kind of comfort, and together with a story that has the feel of a royal fantasy, you can enjoy watching the episodes at a good tempo until the very end.

Why don't you take this opportunity to look back at the past works such as the first season and the movie version?

Manaria Friends

This is an anime adaptation of the "Manaria Magic Academy" event in the popular social game "Rage of Bahamut". Although it is a short anime, the depiction of the too-beautiful scenery and the highly sexy heroines have attracted much attention, and it is a cool winter 2019 anime.

It is basically a "daily fantasy anime" that depicts the daily life in the academy, with a relaxed drama centered on Anne, Gurea, and other female students.

Another key point of this work is its splendid cast. The cast includes Yoko Hikasa, Ayaka Fukuhara, Nana Mizuki, Wataru Hatano, Yuma Uchida, Kikuko Inoue, Lynn, Chiharu Sawashiro, and many other popular voice actors who add color to the story.

The entire film is only about two hours long, about the length of a full-length movie, so it is easy to watch in one sitting. We hope you will give it a try.
