Instead of seeing knights in battle every episode, you'll be overwhelmed with all the information about medieval economics in Spice and Wolf. But mind you, this story still dwells on the supernatural and fantasy side of things, just like other medieval anime shows. And of course, the romance between ancient goddess deity Holo and struggling merchant Kraft Lawrence is surely hard to pass on! Who would have thought that you'll find a medieval anime this light-hearted?

Still can't get enough of magical characters wandering around a medieval world? Well, you should see Fairy Tail and we're pretty sure you'll hit the home run. Watch the Fairy Tail Guild, a group consisting of talented magicians, as they combine great shonen action and fantasy elements into one great medieval period anime show.

If human sacrifice rituals, tyrannical rulers, and kidnapped heroines entice you, then you should give Tears to Tiara a watch. After all, this anime series is very medieval in the most general sense. Follow the story of priestess girl Riannon and demon lord Arawn as they team up to free a kingdom from oppression.

Prepare to enter a world full of magic and sword fights with Scrapped Princess. It is another great anime to watch if you're into fantasy stories set in far away kingdoms. It is about a young girl named Pacifica Casull who is predicted to destroy the world on her 16th birthday. Well, of course, you'd expect lots of medieval elements in an anime that has a troubled princess as its lead character.

Another tale featuring a princess and some knights? Well, of course it has those as its main characters. But, there's more to The Seven Deadly Sins as it takes shonen-style anime goodness right into a medieval setting. If you're into overpowered heroes moving around a world populated by magic and tons of fighting, this is one anime show you need to watch!
