10 best anime to watch if you like Ubel Blatt

1) Berserk

Arguably the quintessential dark and brutal fantasy, Berserk delves into themes of trauma, tragedy, and obsession-fueled violence. Guts is the Black Swordsman, wandering the land on a relentless hunt for vengeance against his former friend Griffith, now transformed into a demon lord.

On his lonely crusade, the muscular warrior with a massive dragon-slayer blade that could match Koinzell's battles all manner of demons and still-human monstrosities. Guts also struggles with his inner darkness and desire for revenge.

Berserk's medieval world, dripping in gore and filled with terror, beautifully illustrates the sacrifices made to pursue power and vengeance. Dark magics, clashing swords, and memorable characters make this anime an absolute must-see for Ubel Blatt fans.

2) Claymore

In a monster-filled world where shape-shifting demons disguise themselves as humans and feast on entrails, a secretive order of warriors provides salvation - for a price. These warriors, humans implanted with Yoma flesh and blood, known as Claymores, roam the land, hunting their demonic kin with huge medieval swords.

Claymore also features betrayal from within the ranks of allies. The Claymore warriors hide tragic backstories of loss and vengeance that drive them. And the increasing corruption they struggle against makes for a provocative, thrilling narrative.

Viewers looking for vengeful, blade-wielding heroes contending with conspiracy will find Claire, Theresa, and the other stoic Claymores to their liking. The creature designs also rival Ubel Blatt's demons in cringe-inducing terror.

3) Vinland Saga

This historical anime epic captures a gritty, grounded struggle. Set in medieval northern Europe, it chronicles Thorfinn's path from an innocent boy to a hardened warrior seeking revenge against the man who killed his father.

Thorfinn's single-minded pursuit of Askeladd drives him away from humanity into a life of violence - not unlike the betrayed Lances of Ubel Blatt. The hand-to-hand combat and slice-of-life moments on Viking ships and villages keep the battles personal.

Beautiful vistas and fluid combat animation bring Vinland's historically inspired setting to life. Viewers who love following one driven warrior's development will appreciate Thorfinn's emotionally resonant journey.

4) Akame ga Kill!

This action-packed anime shares themes of rebellion against a corrupt empire through bloody combat. Night Raid is a group of assassins fighting against a corrupt capital city strangling the nation, each member harboring their own past traumas.

Like the Fourteen Lances turning against the kingdom they once protected, Night Raid wields their weapons in pursuit of revolution. Akame ga Kill! balances fast-paced fights, goofy humor, and losses that cut deep because of the attachments formed between assassins and the people they save.

The mix of fighters with unique weapons and powers defending the weak offers plenty of camaraderie and combat excitement for Ubel Blatt fans. Spying on noble heroes abusing citizens will feel quite familiar.

5) Goblin Slayer

After a traumatic encounter with goblins that destroyed his village and his sister near death, a young man dedicates himself to exterminating all goblins, whom he hates intensely.

Donning armor and taking the name Goblin Slayer, he undertakes a grim crusade against the vicious creatures, aided by companions who support him despite his single-minded obsession. Like Koinzell, Goblin Slayer's dark past trauma fuels his ruthless campaign as he grows in skill and reputation.

Goblin Slayer depicts many gory goblin-slaying action scenes as the pooled adventurers battle the vicious creatures. Fans of Ubel Blatt's mature themes and ruthless protagonist will probably appreciate Goblin Slayer.

6) Arslan Senki

In this acclaimed fantasy epic, the crown prince Arslan leads an uprising to take back his fallen kingdom from an unbeatable religious army with god's apparent blessings.

This premise of battling overwhelming religious power should resonate strongly with Ubel Blatt watchers. Questions about the duties of rulers and the nature of divine right are also featured heavily in both works.

Bright colors and sweeping musical scores accompany bloody battles between armies while courtly schemes unfold behind the scenes. Arslan's development into a worthy king parallels Koinzell's growth into the noble warrior he once was before betrayal.

7) Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World

Re:Zero tackles the bloody consequences of being transported to a fantasy world more literally than most isekai anime. Protagonist Subaru starts with no fighting experience but gradually develops both combat skills and shadow magic abilities as the series progresses.

His power to rewind time by dying over and over forces him to endure relentless suffering. Like Ubel Blatt's exploration of loss and trauma shaping its cast, Re:Zero shows the psychological toll of violence on Subaru. Gory demises come suddenly for both Subaru and Koinzell.

Fans seeking more medieval political games will find court mages and upheavals in the kingdom engaging in Machiavellian power struggles behind the scenes.

8) Attack on Titan

When gigantic man-eating Titans nearly drive humanity to extinction, the survivors retreat inside concentric walled cities, fearing the Titans' next attack.

After the Titans breach the outermost wall and devastate their hometown, Eren and Mikasa join the military with complex motivations. The motive includes Eren's burning desire for freedom, to see the outside world, and their shared thirst for vengeance against the Titans.

Like Ubel Blatt, Attack on Titan features themes of vengeance and revolution with the goal of overthrowing corrupt established powers. It shares tense action sequences, impactful plot twists that reframe one's understanding of reality, morally complex characters, and graphic violence in humanity's fight for survival.

9) Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis

Swashbuckling adventures that travel across fantastical lands give Shingeki no Bahamut an expansive quality reminiscent of Ubel Blatt's worldbuilding. An unlikely trio – world-weary bounty hunter Favaro, noble knight Kaisar, and mysterious woman Amira – end up embroiled in the return of the gigantic dragon Bahamut.

Much of the anime's intrigue revolves around Amira's key-shaped bracelet with apocalyptic powers, which plays a central role in unfolding mysteries. The blend of mystical artifacts, godlike entities meddling in human affairs, and sweeping landscapes make this a great series for fans to get lost in.

10) D.Gray-man

Set in an alternate 19th century, D.Gray-man centers on Allen Walker, who wields a weapon with the power to destroy the Millennium Earl and his army of mechanical weapons known as Akuma.

As Allen uncovers dark secrets about his weapon and joins the Black Order organization to battle supernatural threats, he confronts questions about morality, identity, and purpose. Like Ubel Blatt, D.Gray-man showcases complex characters and thought-provoking battles against corrupted divine forces.

Combining gothic inspiration with high-stakes conflict and emotionally impactful moments, D.Gray-man captures the same spirit of dark fantasy and personal struggle that makes Ubel Blatt compelling.

Conclusion

The anime on this list all provide mature themes, complex characterization, medieval fantasy settings, and epic confrontations that make Ubel Blatt so engrossing.
