Is there any Fantasy Anime out there for one to recommend to me. You know D&D esque enviroments. Daring quests yada yada.

(Fantasys already into: Id, Rune Soldier, Beserk, Beet.)
 
When I've got a link to a table top publishing company as part of my sig, I'd hope I know what D&D means :P

Since the campaign was run in '86, it was most likely using D&D 3rd Revision (1983
 
Not a whole lot like that.

The Slayers / Next / Try / Revolution/ Evolution-R
Magic Knight Rayearth
Shamanic Princess

Also see:

Twelve Kingdoms
InuYasha
The Vision of Escaflowne

Getting still farther away:

Fushigi YuGi
Fate/Stay Night
Shakugan no Shana

Edit:
W.I.T.C.H. (Not Anime), Dragon Hunters (Not Anime / dvd incomplete),Scrapped Princess, and MAR, I suppose.
 
Um cut back on the Japanese fantasy part please (not to american and not to japanese I always say.) And is there any dubs of fantasy anime available.
 
All of those were dubbed. And Only InuYasha, Shana and to a limited extent Fate/stay night are Japan centered. Also I edited my post. Lastly, watch them anyway. They are good shows.
 
I'm also a huge fan of the fantasy setting, it's probably my favorite genre. You might try Scrapped Princess, even though I couldn't get into it much. Slayers was also too comedic/goofy/silly for me, but if you're into Rune Soldier, then you shouldn't have too much of a problem with it, I'd say. (Euro)fantasy shows seem to be quite rare. I also second W.I.T.C.H. as it's my favorite fantasy show. Too bad there's not more shows like Neverwinter Nights, or other fantasy video games out there.
 
Since your lists were somewhat random, I picked a few action series out of a hat:

Gilgamesh
X Remix(TV)
Key: The Metal Idol
Red Garden
The Twelve Kingdoms
Ergo Proxy
When They Cry - Higurashi

Come back when you've watched those.
 
1st off..TIred of DBZ!!!! Be gone DEMON!!! I kid of couese LOL! but it did somewhat catch me by suprise..I thought Getting tired of Dragonball was Impossible.

Well heres some I can suggest without doubt

since you started Gundam Seed you should try some of the other Gundam series too, like....

G Gundam
Gundam 0083
Gundam Wing
Gundam 00



And you might Give Gurran Laggen a try as well, & finally Gunslinger Girl is a good series too!
 
Haha, with DBZ, it's more like once you've seen it all, take a break from it (a long break) see other series, come back to it, and then you figure out that there's a lot in the series you just can't stand. (the goku reliance factor for one.)

I completely forgot about G Gundam.. I saw that when it was on Toonami too.

KZK, Gilgamesh is somewhat of a gothic (I think that's the word I'm looking for) type series right? (Same for Ergo Proxy?) I know a heard some things about it, one of them being that it was a little slow, or something like that. But I'll give a try anyway.
 
It is dark, twisted, and pointy, with dried blood crusting the back edges.

But then so are most the other shows I suggested.



Probably.

Also: Noir.

I would reccomend Shakugan no Shana, but you dislike romance.
 
Well, guess I might as welll. Though I haven't really gone out of my to try anything aside from whatever the masses say the current "best series ever" is for the past few years (Basically Haruhi, Lucky Star, Code Geass, Gurren Lagann, and Black Lagoon) All of which fall into the same pitfalls I dislike (though it probably doesn't help I dislike slice-of-life shows and super robot shows, so there goes most of those by default)

The only recent series I enjoyed was Mega Man Star Force, but even that fell into similar fanservice/moe pitfalls (Sonia's entire character was nothing but the epitome of that trope, which was extremely disappointing) So I suppose I'm asking what recent series don't implore that stuff and might be worth checking out. Yes, I know I'm very picky.
 
There have been quite a few threaRAB asking for recommendations recently, so I took the liberty of merging them.

When asking for recommendations, please remeraber to give some examples (anime or non-anime) of the sorts of things you're into/looking for so that people have something to go off of.

For example, Marn Hierogryph, you give plenty of examples of what you're NOT looking for, which is fine, but perhaps you could tell us a little more about what you ARE looking for. What tenRAB to attract you to a show? Are you looking for action, character, plot, romance, comedy, none/all of the above?

About the only recent big-name series I can think of that you didn't list is Soul Eater, which reminded me of nothing so much as Naruto meets Harry Potter. I won't say that it doesn't have any fanservice elements, but it seldom plays them straight.
