My biggest mistake considering this list is, I read and watch Berserk Manga and Anime before any of these animes on this list. And nothing from this list is Darkest yet Perfect by representing Dark Fantasy anime than Berserk IMO.

[@hokutology1718]

The one chance Watchmojo had to finally mention Now and Then, Here and There...and completely wasted it.

[@fisheyenomiko]

It's not really fantasy, though? It's action/war/sci-fi. Damn, I haven't thought about that series in years. It was bleak. But very good. (-:

As a Berserk fan I love it when a decent percentage top 10 Dark animes have Guts or someone from the Berserk cast be the thumbnail for the video.

[@ИванКондратьев-ь1г]

Of the entire list, only Berserk and Claymore can be classified as dark fantasy.

[@trippietoadie1296]

Clare is basically like the female version of Geralt. If you love The Witcher. Claymore is definitely a must watch.

[@PandaEatsPlanetEarth]

Berserk is the darkest fantasy ever. Claymore also deserves so much more respect. I know it's still popular, but it's just crazy intense.

There is no plot armor on that shows, just self determination and not being screwed by the missions assigned by the organization.

[@genesisnemesis8850]

U know right

[@PiratePrincessYuki]

Berserk and Claymore were my introduction to dark fantasy and after that it was over for me. Became my favorite genre.

[@TiagoNomad]

The only thing that stopped Claymore from being pretty much perfect was that annoying kid accompanying Claire. I could not stand the guy.

[@PiratePrincessYuki]

@@TiagoNomad read the manga, he grows up.

[@gjack4230]

Claymore deserves to be completed!!!

[@ezail367]

It is. But the manga is much better then the anime and has a partly different story & ending.

[@kaind.badguy]

Claymore was pretty dark too.

[@lunarmemo]

1- Berserk. 2-Made in Abyss (Best Dad in all Anime, Bondrewd). 3-20, don't really come close in my book.

[@Quinnsula5]

The redo of the healer is actually being on here, especially at 3 ovrer Made in Abyss. It has the best best world buliding of any fantasy anime and probably any anime ever. Its also actually a good show, unlike redo of healer. Like this is genuinely disrespectful to Made in abyss as the only thing redo might have over it is shock factor, and even then, it's a big maybe.

[@doctorsniffles]

When does made in abyss get good

[@Quinnsula5]

@doctorsniffles I personally think it gets good from the start as I think the world buliding and set up is top tier. Though the turning point in the story is episode 10 of season 1 and then after that, it only gets better, ending on the fantastic episode 13. If you don't like it by then, it's fine. it may not be your thing, but the tone and direct the series takes after episode 10 of the first season is what the rest will be like. The series after season one only gets darker. There is the movie you watch after (which is movie 3) as it is the direct follow-up. Then there is season 2, which is quite possible one of the darkest yet most beautiful haunting ever made. If you don't like the direction the series takes in episode 10-13 of season 1, then you will probably not like season 2. I still recommend the show as there is truly nothing like it out there. It also had the greatest soundtrack ever made, so there is that.

[@dommelow2676]

Black Lagoon deserves a place in the Top 10

[@miamoore6587]

We all knew what number 1 was gonna be 🙌🏼

[@freesheep0]

Just found out Berserk earlier today. I guess it's the right time for me to witness it.

[@amikadpage]

It’s really worth watching!

[@mchild80]

Berserk is a masterpiece. It's HELLA DARK THO!!! Tread lightly. I truly believe that it's the greatest Manga ever. Guts and Griffith are the equivalent of Batman and Joker (also my favorite pro and antagonist). Sword of the Berserk (Dreamcast) is a hidden gem on the console. The movies are incredible. The anime is great. 2016 is very good if you can look past the idiots who changed the artwork. Wtbs, Berserk is a must watch/must read.

[@fisheyenomiko]

Watch the 97-98 series. NOT the 2016-17 series. Avoid that. The movies are ok, but they're re-tellings of the story told in series. So watch the series first, then you can watch the movies if you want to. As others have said, it's *dark* like *DARK*. But it's also sooooo good.

[@reduXstereo]

I think watching the 97' anime and then reading the manga afterwards is the ideal way to get into Berserk because the soundtrack will stick with you in a good way.

[@thombrown]

Urotsukidōji: Legend of the Overfiend is way darker than all of these. So is Wicked City for that matter.

[@sarwatbahgat]

Chain saw man is also dark

[@TeamRemForever]

Re:Zero is my all time favorite anime! That series has the absolute best use of character development that I've ever seen in anime. The characters are so well written.

[@TakingToHeart]

First of all where is Hellsing? Ninja Scroll? The best anime movie of all time. And giving Vampire Hunter D 12th place is just wrong. The first movie from the 80's was the epitome of dark fantasy. Again,wrong list. At least u did some justice with Berserk. The anime didn't do justice to the Manga.

no, evangelion?, no elfen lied?, no devilman crybaby?, no Speed Grapher? no mirai nikki?, no Higurashi no Naku Koro ni?, no Corpse Party: Tortured Souls ?, Fantasy = In short, it is a narrative in which elements appear that cannot be explained by reason, that call reality into question and that have something supernatural, extraordinary or magical.

For the life of me, I can't get into Attack on Titan. It looks sooo good, bloody and all the things I love. I have a couple of suggestions but be warned, they're pawns. Urotsukidoji and Violence Jack. Each have a few films. Of all the versions of Urotsukidoji I found the subtitles become more scarce until one movie where it's just nothing but Japanese, so bear that in mind.

[@lauriperamaki5354]

Hell's paradise is truly great newer animes. Ofcourse Berserk is the greatest story ever. But for anime Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust is one of the most beautiful movies ever. Rather read the mangas and lightnovel

[@carllebrun3332]

Castlevania, ninja scrolls, vinland saga, vagabond just to name a few should've been in there.
