Anime Similar To Tales Of Zestiria The X

So, you devoured Tales of Zestiria the X, huh? That anime with the snazzy visuals, the power of friendship cranked up to eleven, and enough fantasy to make your head spin? You're probably craving something similar. Well, buckle up, because I've got some suggestions that'll scratch that itch without feeling like a carbon copy.

For the "Power of Friendship" Fanatics

If what you loved most was the unwavering bonds between Sorey and his buddies, you might enjoy Fairy Tail. This series is practically swimming in friendship. The characters stick together through thick and thin, facing down ridiculous odds with a smile and a healthy dose of teamwork.

Think of it as Zestiria's slightly more… flamboyant cousin. Prepare for some over-the-top battles and heartwarming moments galore! Just maybe, skip the filler episodes – trust me on this one.

If You're All About the World-Saving Quest

Maybe it was Sorey's mission to purify the land and banish malevolence that hooked you. Then look no further than Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It’s a darker story than Zestiria, but the stakes are incredibly high.

Two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, are on a quest to restore their bodies after a failed alchemic ritual. Their journey is fraught with danger, political intrigue, and surprisingly heartwarming moments.

Bonus points for:

A genuinely satisfying ending. No cliffhangers here!

Craving Epic Battles and Elemental Powers?

Were you mesmerized by the elemental powers and the intense battles? Then give Attack on Titan a try. Yes, it's a lot grimmer than Zestiria. But hear me out!

The series features incredible animation, fast-paced action, and characters battling giant humanoid creatures called Titans. While it might seem different, the strategic battles and the desperate fight for survival offer a similar thrill.

Looking for Lighthearted Fantasy with a Twist?

Sometimes, you just want a fun adventure without all the heavy drama. If that's the case, check out KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!

Imagine if Sorey got reincarnated into a fantasy world, but instead of being a legendary hero, he was just… kind of a loser. That's the premise of KonoSuba! This anime is a hilarious parody of the isekai genre, with a cast of lovable (and incredibly dysfunctional) characters.

For Those Who Enjoyed the "Chosen One" Trope

Sorey, the Shepherd, the chosen one… we've seen this before. If you’re looking for another chosen one narrative, consider The Rising of the Shield Hero. It starts with a bit of a darker twist.

The main character, Naofumi, is summoned to another world as one of the four Cardinal Heroes. However, he's immediately ostracized and betrayed. His journey of proving himself and overcoming adversity is both gripping and surprisingly heartwarming.

So, there you have it! A few anime that might just fill that Zestiria-shaped hole in your heart. Each show offers its own unique flavor, but they all share that sense of adventure, camaraderie, and the occasional epic battle that made Tales of Zestiria the X so enjoyable.
