Who doesn’t love a good coming-of-age story through warfare and struggle with a side helping of an epic quest. It is really the easiest plot to write, but doing it well like in Arslan takes some finesse. If you want more finely cultivated anime recommendations like The Heroic Legend of Arslan, we have you covered.
For Fans of Royals Forced Out of Their Kingdom
Guin Saga
The kingdom of Parros has been invaded. The king and queen have been slain, but their twin children have been spirited away by a strange device in the palace. Lost in the Roodwood, they are rescued from invading soldiers by a strange amnesiac leopard-headed man named Guin.
Both Arslan and Guin Saga follow the trials and tribulations of royals that are ran out of their kingdoms. However, while Arslan focuses on the prince, Guin is more about the bodyguard of the royals. It is also worth noting that Guin Saga has a bit more magic to it overall, but Arslan tells the better story.
Yona of the Dawn
After having her luxurious life shattered by the betrayal of her cousin, Princess Yona is forced to escape with her childhood friend Son Hak. However, leaving her palace forces her to see the poverty and strife that really makes up her beloved kingdom. Now she must journey to not only regain her rightful throne, but to return her kingdom to its former glory.
Both these series have an incredible amount of similarities separated really only by geographic location and gender of the protagonists. In Arslan you follow a naive young prince, in Yona it is a naive young princes, both series have them accompanied by a more experienced bodyguards and both series are influenced by other cultures like Korea or the Middle East. However, both are very much coming of age stories in which the royals see the world for how it really is outside of their palace.
Scrapped Princess
Known as the Scrapped Princess, a poison that will destroy the world, Pacifica Casull is hated by the worshipers of the god Mauser. To avoid being killed, Pacifica and her adopted brother and sister leave her village of Manhurin, looking for a way to avoid the foreseen disaster that will befall the world on her 16th birthday.
While Pacifica isn’t as royal as Arslan, she still finds herself without a home and accompanied by bodyguards. However, instead of finding a way back to her home like in Arslan, she goes to lengths to try to learn about herself and avert disaster.
For Fans of Complex Kingdom Politics
Kingdom
In the Ancient Chinese Kingdom of Qin, Xin Li, a war orphan, trains with his fellow slave and best friend Piao to achieve his dream of one day being a Great General of the Heavens. However, one day Piao is sent to work at the royal palace until a coup sends him back to Xin Li, half dead, in order to bring him in for a meeting with China’s young king Zheng Ying, thus thrusting him into an adventure and towards his destiny.
Did you like Arslan for its complex politics and military matters? Then Kingdom is easily going to be your next favorite show. Although it has ten tons of characters in it and quickly surpasses Arslan in complexity, it still remains easy to get into and an absolutely stunning tale of ancient politics.
Moribito
It is said that a widespread drought is coming to the Shin Yogo Empire and in order to avoid famine, that the reincarnation of the water spirit must be sacrificed to prevent it. However, the water spirit is the emperor’s own son. However, his mother spirits the boy away with a mysterious female mercenary in order to save his life.
Sims 3 mods reddit. If not for the supernatural aspect in Moribito, it would almost be the same story as Arslan, except Moribito isn’t about raising an army, but merely about trying to survive. You watch young princes learn about the world and come into their own, all while under the careful guidance of a more knowledgeable bodyguard. Sadx dreamcast models mod.
Magi
Aladdin, a talented young magi, has lived his life in seclusion, but he is eager to go explore the world. After he sets out, he becomes friends with a courageous Alibaba Saluja who, after seeing his powerful Djinn Ugo, suggests they go conquer a dungeon for fame, power, and treasure.
First and foremost, the biggest similarity here is in the Middle East influences. However, while Magi starts out as a very upbeat adventure anime, it soon delves deeper into the politics of the world, putting it more on par with Arslan. Photoinstrument for mac.
For Fans of Character Growth Through Struggle
The Twelve Kingdoms
In what started as a normal day as a normal high school student, Nakajima Youko has her reality shattered when a strange man named Keiki appears before her, swearing his allegiance. When Youko and her friends are attacked by demons, they are pulled into a different world, one she has never known. Separated from Keiki, Youko and her friends must do whatever they have to survive this strange, harsh place.
While The Twelve Kingdoms has people from the modern world put into a more medieval one, as you keep watching, that becomes less of an issue as they try to navigate and learn about the complex politics of the world. In essence, they are both about young people learning and growing as they go through various struggles that their situations put them in.
Altair: A Record of Battles
Tughril Mahmut is a young pasha that serves the Divan of the Turkiye Stratocracy. However, an aggressive empire threatens the peace of his nation and the Divan is divided between the opinions of warmongers and pacifists. Mahmut soon embarks on a quest to keep the peace, but as he moves further into politics, what will he do if war is unavoidable?
Heroic Age Anime Season 2
Again, this is another Middle East-inspired show, but while Arslan seeks to make war to get his kingdom back, Mahmut seeks to keep the peace in his. As both shows delve into war, you watch sacrifices, betrayals, and all those other emotion-inducing moments that make a young kid grow up fast.
Berserk
Knowing nothing but death and battle since the day he was born, Gutts wanders from battlefield to battlefield as a solitary mercenary. Caring for nothing and no one, his only goal is to become stronger. However, after a fateful encounter with Griffith and his Band of the Hawk mercenary group, Gutts finds himself rising through the ranks of their prestigious organization and learns to care for his fellows.
Betrayal. Sacrifice. Vengeance. Ambition. They are all present in Arslan, but seamlessly woven into Berserk as well. While Berserk starts off about mercenaries, it moves into royal politics quickly before dipping deep into the supernatural, but by that point, you are so hooked it is hard to stop watching.

Heroic Age (ヒロイック・エイジ, Hiroikku Eiji) is a Japanese science fictionmechaspace opera[1] anime originally conceptualized by Tow Ubukata. The series first aired on TV Tokyo on April 1, 2007 and ended on September 30, 2007, with 26 episodes.
On July 23, 2007, a manga adaptation began serialization in Kodansha's Magazine Z. Though the story is the same, it is told from the point of view of Iolaous. Five official guidebooks were also published and had consecutive monthly releases from July to November 2007.
Premise[edit]
The story's theme is based on stories in Greek mythology, especially those surrounding Heracles, upon whom the main character is based, and his Twelve Labors. Many of the other characters are also based on Greek mythological figures; characters share similar names to their Greek counterparts, and how their relationship is defined with others correspond with Greek stories. The title of the series, Heroic Age, is also a slight testament to the similarities to Greek mythology, referring to the time of the Heroic Age. The tribes featured in the anime are loosely based on Hesiod's Five Ages of Mankind.
Storyline[edit]
The Golden Tribe watching the universe.
The show is set in a futuristic universe, controlled by a few races or 'tribes' that possess the capabilities for interstellar travel. The universe had once been ruled by a 'Golden Tribe' (黄金の種族 Ougon no Shuzoku), who had since left the current galaxy long ago; they passed on their knowledge to the humanoid 'Silver Tribe' (銀の種族, Gin no Shuzoku), the insectoid 'Bronze Tribe' (青銅の種族, Seidou no Shuzoku), and the gigantic 'Heroic Tribe' (英雄の種族, Eiyuu no Shuzoku). The latter was later punished by the Golden Tribe for causing havoc in the universe and made to serve the other tribes as 'Nodos' (ノドス, Nodosu) - extremely powerful beings that play a key role in the story. Before the Golden Tribe departed, Humanity answered the call of the Golden Tribe and was dubbed the 'Iron Tribe' (鉄の種族, Tetsu no Shuzoku). Viewed as a threat to the order of things, the Silver Tribe decided to annihilate the Iron Tribe with the aid of the Bronze Tribe. However, humanity survived their assault on Earth and scattered their numbers across the stars in order to preserve their race.
The story follows the voyages of the starship Argonaut and its crew to find a means to bring peace to the universe. The ship carries the young human clairvoyant princess Dhianeila, who is on a mission to find the mythical savior of the human race. This savior is expected to aid humanity in their war against the Silver and Bronze tribes, who are bent on humanity's extermination.
Initially, the expedition finds a child-hearted boy called Age on a partially destroyed planet. When the Argonaut is attacked by the Bronze tribe, Age is shown to transform into a 'Nodos' form, Bellcross, a gigantic and immensely powerful being. He easily fends off the superior attacking force. Having found their messiah, the Argonaut starts its way back to Dhianeila's home-world, Duey. During their journey home, the Silver Tribe launches several attacks on the Argonaut to prevent the ship from returning to their home-world, but Age always managed to stop them.
During the many attacks on the Argonaut the crew begins to warm up to Age, they had been fearful of his powers as a Nodos. The Silver tribesman Phaetho O assigns himself the role of 'testing' Age, destroying the Argonaut and all the Iron Tribe on it. After Age drives Phaetho O away and saves his tribe they all begin to accept him. Iolaous Oz Mehelim of the Yunos knights is jealous of Age but warms up to him after the attack on Titarros. Once they escape the battle against Phaetho O at Titarros the Argonaut crew arrives near the Cemetery belt where they are again attacked by Phaetho O and the Bronze Tribe accompanying him, here Age fights another Nodos whom had visited him on Titarros. During the fight the Argonaut manages to escape however in order to do so Age had to stay behind to fight. The Argonaut warps to what they think is an unoccupied place and end up running into stragglers from the Bronze Tribe, rather than fight they attempt to run only to be cornered by an enormous fleet. the fleet is also Iron Tribe, after saving the Argonaut that fleet accompanies them and they leave to help Age.
After reaching back to Duey, word had spread throughout humanity of the Argonaut's success and Dhianeila's brothers used the momentum to successfully convince humanity to launch a counter-offensive against the Silver and Bronze Tribes. With humanity united under the Junos family, the Silver Tribe throws the full might of their forces along with their 4 Nodos's to destroy humanity. As the fighting intensifies, the humans move towards the Golden Tribes' old home world. At the last moment, contact is made both between the Silver Tribe, humanity, and the Nodos of each side. Dhianeila brings the Silver Tribe to accept a ceasefire and Age is shown to be the 'key' to opening a portal to the universe into which the Golden Tribe has moved.
When this portal is opened, the Silver Tribe moves on to this other universe and passes all of its knowledge to humanity, including the ability to control the Bronze Tribe. However, during the battle, Age is missing after he opened the gateway; some believed he died in the process, while others believed he'll return one day. Honoring Age's wish, Dhianeila dedicated the next few years of her life to restore Age's home planet.
Four years later, Humanity has now brought order throughout the universe. With the Silver's Tribe's technology, humanity had advanced further and rebuilt Earth. Dhianeila and the Argonaut's team has succeeded in restoring Age's home, but through it all, she missed Age the most. Just as she was about to leave the only planet that gives her some comfort, the Golden Tribe's gateway opened and revealed that Age was alive, and he and Dhianeila were reunited.
