Fantasy Anime Movies?

Slayers

Record of Lodoss Wars was the writer's original D&D campaign, and The Slayers first appeared as a series in Dragon Magazine: Japan.



So they both have very strong D&D connections. I like them both, but the big story-line jump between the 4th and 5th VHS tapes [of Lodoss War] kinda threw me for a bit. I like stories to be complete, and the thirty seconds of narration that covered at least a year's worth of the storyline was just... Ecch.

Those Who Hunt Elves is a somewhat comedic anime set in a fantasy world (the old "we displaced Earthlings want to go home" plot).

Final Fantasy probably has some subtitle to that to distinguish it from the games, but I can't recall what it was. It was set a few hundred years after the end of Final Fantasy V.

Sorcerer Hunters is an action/comedy anime about a group that polices wizards who use their powers for evil.

Fantastic. You people are great. Thank you for all your assistance.

I never saw the second Ninja Scroll movie but was told it wasn't very good.

I must compulsively point out that Ninja Resurrection has no association whatsoever with Ninja Scroll, despite its claims of being based on the same character, Jubei. It's a cheap knockoff, nothing more. There's no sequel to Ninja Scroll.

I heard it was basically a completly different story that they tried to sell off as a sequel. I never took the time to watch it as I was told to avoid it.

Love Ninja Scroll, Princess Mononoke, Escaflowne (both the series and the movie, though they did do some damage to Folken), Vampire Hunter D, Tenchi Muyo, Dragoon (not very well known, and they only made three ep.s then left you hanging and never made another), Lodoss War I liked simply because it was D&D, Slayers.

I just know I'm gonna think of more later.
