Congratulations, you've finished Metaphor: ReFantazio . Or, perhaps you're still in the thick of the struggle to knock Louis out of the world's creepiest popularity poll. Either way, you're looking for some supplementary viewing. Here are movies and TV shows to watch after Metaphor: ReFantazio .
If Metaphor: ReFantazio was your first trip to the park with Atlus, you're probably curious about its most famous work, Persona 5 . After all, Persona 5 was made directly before Metaphor: ReFantazio with the same director, character designer, and composer. But you might not be feeling like dipping into yet another 100-ish hour JPRG, especially one with such similar systems.
Keine Sorge! There's a surprisingly good anime adaptation of the game, aptly called Persona 5: The Animation . The series was made by CloverWorks, the top-tier studio behind major hits like Bocchi the Rock! and Wind Breaker . It also shares the game's stellar voice cast. So, if you're not going to play Persona 5 , this is definitely the next best thing.
If you loved the “struggle for the crown” aspect of Metaphor: ReFantazio , you might want to check out Code Geass . The series takes place in a world where the USA has become a world-domineering empire called Britannia, with Japan as one of its many colonies.
Code Geass is kind of like Death Note meets Game of Thrones meets a mundane high school romance. Genius student Lelouch Lamperouge gets hold of a power that allows him to order people to do whatever he says. The power only works once per person, but that doesn't stop Lelouch from dawning the alter-ego Zero and entering the fray to overturn the king.
Fantasy is actually having a real moment in anime right now. Es ist sogar die Rede von einer „Fantasy Big Three“: Frier: Beyond Journey's End , lecker in Dungeon und mit Spannung erwartete Hexenhut -Atelier im nächsten Jahr. Während Frier in allen Berichten eine unglaubliche Show ist, machen das meditative Tempo, die existenziellen Themen und die Betonung der Beziehung zwischen Schüler und Lehrer es zu einem ganz anderen Tier als Metapher: Refantazio .
Delicious in Dungeon , however, is a surer jump. Die Serie konzentriert sich auf eine Party eines Tallman, eines Elfen, eines Zwergs, eines halben Fußes und einer menschlichen Hybrid-was bedeutet, dass die Beziehung zwischen Fantasy-Rennen im Vordergrund steht, wenn auch komisch. Animiert von dem immer erstaunlichen Studio-Trigger und köstlich in Dungeon bietet eine der gut durchdachten und innovativsten Fantasiewelten, die ich je gesehen habe. There is literally talk about ecosystems.
But perhaps, at this juncture, you don't want an anime that's heavily inspired by Dungeons & Dragons . After 80 to 100 hours of JPRG goodness, maybe you'd like a change of pace. Maybe you'd rather just have a straight-up hit of Dungeons & Dragons . In which case, the criminally overlooked Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves will hit the spot.
The film feels like a true homage to Dungeons & Dragons —you can almost feel the dungeon master guiding along the plot. Honor Among Thieves also does us all the favor of not taking itself too seriously. It's an absolute delight.
Wenn Sie an „Fantasy -Serien denken, die sich mit der Politik des Kampfes um Königsmacht befasst“, denken Sie wahrscheinlich sofort an Game of Thrones . So, I won't do you this disservice by listing Game of Thrones here. Aber wenn Sie es in Ihrem Herzen finden können, um die Serie für ihre schreckliche letzte Staffel zu vergeben, dann bietet House of the Dragon eine neue Geschichte mit dem gleichen Macht-Hungry-Chaos.
House of the Dragon is a prequel to Game of Thrones , centering on the Targaryens when they were still in power and still had their dragons. In fact, it depicts a civil war among the members of the House. Let the flames fly.
Metaphor: ReFantazio does inhabit a stereotypical fantasy world. The game's races all have a unique flavor to them, and the world itself feels like a fresher, more modern take on the genre. For another atypical take on the world of fantasy, check out MAPPA's cult favorite series Dorohedoro .
Dorohedoro is a dark fantasy that takes place in a gigantic, dystopian city fittingly named Hole. The protagonist is a mercenary who, after losing his memory, wakes up transformed into a lizard-man.
You've had your fill of fantasy. Now, you're ready for politically-minded pirates—and the most famously long watch in all of anime.
But One Piece is worth the time you'll sink into it. Metaphor: ReFantazio has a lot to say about democracy and political violence. Ein Stück ist eine Show über Menschen, die in vielerlei Hinsicht gegen eine äußerst mächtige Regierung rebellieren, die kontrolliert, zu welchen Informationen Menschen Zugang haben - und jeden töten, der versucht, diese Ordnung zu behindern. In other words, One Piece actively grapples with fascism. So, if you want another piece of media to help offset some political steam, here you go. One Piece also just happens to be the greatest story of our time.
Maybe you want your fantasy series grimmer. Perhaps you think Metaphor: ReFantazio didn't go far enough in its interrogation of how humanity corrupts itself in politics. Möglicherweise suchen Sie nach einer Serie mit einem Rand-of-Your-Seat-Serie mit einer pechschwarzen Sicht auf die Fähigkeit der Menschheit, sich selbst zu zerstören, insbesondere im Namen von anderen und politischen Macht. If so, look no further than Attack on Titan .
Attack on Titan is one of the most famous anime series of the last decade. Die Serie beginnt mit der Prämisse, dass der Rest der Menschheit sich hinter einer Reihe von Wänden beabsichtigt hatte, um sich vor fleischfressenden Titanen zu schützen. But one day, the walls are breached. And things spiral wildly from there.
“Fantasy vs sci-fi” is one of those eternal debates of personal preference. But why must we choose one? And if you're interested in checking out sci-fi which grapples with societal racism, Octavia Butler should be step one on your journey. Granted, unlike Metaphor: ReFantazio , Butler's works don't illustrate these issues via painting a new world. Instead, they focus squarely on American history.
Butlers berühmtestes Werk, Kindred , wurde 2022 in eine Miniserie gemacht. Es konzentriert sich auf eine moderne schwarze Frau, die in das 19. Jahrhundert zurückgeschickt wird.
Whenever there's a discussion about dark, intellectual, morally gray anime, Death Note has to be tossed into consideration by default. Unlike Metaphor: ReFantazio , Death Note fully takes place in our world. But it offers a very grim, dystopian exploration of the question of how to solve society's ills. Genius High School Schüler Light Yagami erhält die Kraft des Todesnotiz, ein Notizbuch, mit dem der Benutzer jemanden einfach durch das Schreiben seines Namens töten kann. Light decides to use it to kill criminals en masse and soon has to contend with being hunted by a wunderkind detective.
And those are movies and TV shows to watch after Metaphor: ReFantazio .
Metaphor: ReFantaziois now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
