Fantasy is something that you can use for a lot of anime shows since the idea of stuff like magic allows for a lot variations. So it is little surprise that the three new anime show (all on crunchyroll) are fantasy shows of some type.
Toji no Miko
Giant monsters called Aratama plauge the land and the only effective countermeasure is special maidens who train with special swords. There is also a special school where these young women train to be monster hunters.
I found this show to a decent take on "the military is made of teenage girls"type of anime show. The characters are decent although I found there is a small mystery regarding Hiyori and what is her hidden agenda. There is some cg animation but I found it to be rather decent.
Record of Grancrest war
There is a world where the nobles half special crests that can fight chaos. However instead of the lords upholding peace they fight among themselves. The fist episode is about the alliance between the low level lord Theo and the mage Siluca.
This show looks like it could be an interesting fantasy show with a bunch of fantasy politics. It's hard to say how good the show will turn out but I found the first episode to be mildly promising.
Ito Junji collection
Ito Junji is a well known horror mangaka. This anime show is a collection of his short stories.
I wasn't that thrilled by the first episode. However I have a feeling that is was a case of the episode not taking full advantage of Ito's speciality, his ability to make unsettling imagery.
