Marvelous Video presents some fantasy anime worth a peek…

We call it the sword and sorcery, or S&S, genre, and it’s a fantasy that has become insanely popular across the world, including Japan.

And thanks to the folks at Marvelous Videos, we have eight that are essential viewing for fans. Watch the video here…
