Discussion

throwaway72277: Claymore is great until the last 7 or so episodes where the anime goes off the rails with its own ending

TinyCactus: Berserk in S but which anime? 97 yes, 2016 absolutely not

WetPigeon: Made in Abyss looks cute and then destroys you

SpicyMoose: Vinland Saga season 2 is not dark fantasy at all and it's still better than most of this list

AngryDumpling: Kabaneri lol
