It is, as us neckbeards used to say, 2Deep4U.Utena it's been si long since I re wached, could never fully understand all the symbolic stuff
Just kidding, it's been a long time since I've watched it as well. I should set some time for a re-watch as well...
Fully seconding @(you need an account to see links). The artistry of the Berserk manga is, in my opinion, unparalleled. I invested in the art book and seeing Kentarou Miura's panels in large format is mind blowing.

Oh man, Saiyuki was such a good anime, definitely one of my favs and one I highly recommend as well
The twelve kingdoms as well, and Lodoss?? Yes
I was actually a huge fan of The Battle Angel OVA - Gunnm, I also highly recommend the manga for Alita - the art imo was beautiful and I actually own the collectors edition, along with the omnibuses and final 3-4 volumes that didn't have an omnibus. I want to get the chronicle of mars series because I really loved the art style of Alita.
I also really loved claymore, and own the box set (but I think that may currently be available for stream) The manga was lovely however.
And then of course .//hack was one of my all time favorites.
I'm a huge .//hack fangirl, seen every portion of the series, played every game and even bought the remaster. It was one of the first anime that got me into anime and I can't recommend it enough

idk how obscure this truly is but I remember liking Jyu-Oh-Sei, it's a sci-fi anime about two twins who get shipped to a prison planet for something they didn't do. Don't rly see anyone talk about it so!

Some fantasy titles I remember in no particular order that haven't been mentioned already, I think. They tonally vary quite a bit though.
As for Dark Fantasy, Ubel Blatt is one, but I don't think the others are... Guess I don't read much in there.
Only a few of these I consider obscure, basically all of them are post-2000s.
Ubel Blatt (Manga)
Guin Saga (Manga, Anime) rec. anime, manga translation is incomplete, I think
Kekkaishi (Manga, Anime)
Kino's Journey (2 Anime, 3? Manga, also has Light Novel) Novel is ongoing.
Superior & Superior Cross (Manga)
Shoukoku Altair (Manga)
The Legend of Maian (Korean Manhwa)
Magi (Manga, Anime) rec. Anime since manga kinda goes off the rails near the end
Spice & Wolf (Manga, Anime, also has Light Novel) also has sequel Manga and Light Novel, which are ongoing.
Omoide Emanon, Sasurai Emanon (Manga)
Dorohedoro (Manga, Anime)
Letter Bee / Tegami Bachi (Manga, Anime)
Helck (Manga, Anime soon)
Doubutsu no Kuni (Manga) I think this counts as fantasy lol, it's got talking animals...!
Heterogenic Linguistics / Heterogenia Linguistico: Ishuzoku Gengogaku Nyuumon (Manga) Also got talking animals (hybrids), but totally different vibe. Ongoing.
Kouya ni Kemono Doukokusu (Manga) Less fantasy and more sci-fi. Also got talking animal hybrids...
The Magus' Bride / Mahoutsukai no Yome (Manga, Anime) Ongoing.
Faraway Paladin (Manga, Anime, also has Light Novel) Ongoing.
I didn't know Spice and Wolf was still ongoingGotta look for that one, I only finished the two seasons of the anime.
The Magu's Bride I started it but it was a bit slow the beginning that I dropped it. Another one I need to retake watching.
Oh for sure, my husband showed the manga and the drawings were very cool! Poor Guts though he really suffered a lot I'm glad the last parts were better for him.
~~ Shooting stars ~~
