I grew up loving the fantasy genre, so most of them are fantasy LOL

Anime:

Elfen Lied - The idea of being different, and shunned/hunted by humanity.
Pokemon - not the catching bit, but the importance of bonds and friendship.
Tokyo Ghoul - mostly the messages, how the world can be a horrible place.
PreCure - life can change so drastically one day, how things are meant to be.

Video Games:

League of Legends - wonderful fantasy world building and lore. I despise the community but I developed a thick skin.
Phantasy Star Portable 2 + God Eater + Monster Hunter - not the hunting bit, but the concept of the unknown and what is out there.
Guild Wars 2 - fantasy world wooo
Eden Eternal + Fiesta Online - childhood video games that opened my eyes to the possibility of magick.
Wolf Team - you can turn in to a wolf at will. Each wolf has their own powers/abilities.
Fire Emblem - magick! swords! this games sometimes wish I could shoot lightning or fire. Sadly this is not how magick works rip.

Movies/ TV shows

H2O Just Add Water - mermaids ya'll
Chronicles of Narnia - childhood movie, the mystical creatures woaaah
Star Wars - that there is something that connects us all, I also want to be a Sith.
Daybreakers - life of vampires trying to live in a modern world (anti-sun technology cars).
Shrek - I adore fairy tales.
The Omen franchise - sheds light on the anti-demon side of things. Ironically, I saw it as a kid and that was what made me fear demons. Taught me that media can twist things around to strike fear.
The Umbrella Academy - the concept of having cool abilities!
Merlin - magic! dragons! Camelot!


Books:

Star Wars - I wanna shoot lightning yo
Harry Potter - HARRYDIDYOUPUTYOURNAMEINTHEGOBLETOFFIRE!?
Narnia - what I said earlier but wtf its kinda sexist
Witchy Magic by Lucy Cavendish and Serene Conneeley - my first book on magick!

As an old fart my brain no longer remembers the titles of the black and white films that were on re run in the 1970 and 80s but basically they involved highway men and women!!!!! People being hanged but for a noble reason, A Tale of Two Cities, That Hamilton Woman and loads of Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster swashbuckling movies. Heathcliff with Lawrence Olivier etc

Books are anything - I'm a book worm and studied English Literature at Uni but if I had to narrow it down - the English classics, The Heath Anthology of American Literature, Feminist Fables and anything Edgar Allen Poe.

Games: D&D, MTG and I had some knights on horse back made from metal that I made up soooo many adventures for.

I was born in 1975 so my taste reflects that.

Now I sit with the children and watch Crunchy Roll and have manga thrust in my face.

The last 3 years I have discovered Korean Fantasy dramas and I find they really touch my spiritual side and they are making the otherworld and deities make so much more sense.

I have just finished Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman" series. OH....OH....There simply are not enough positive words for this series. It is truly magical. It came out as a comic on a monthly basis back, I think, in the 90's, but has been re-released in graphic novel form. It is SOOOOO Amazing! The story line is incredible enough, but the artists he partnered with, the sheer brilliance everyone involved brought to the series defies description. :crazy:

That said, do start reading Neil Gaiman if you have not already done so. Start anywhere, his short stories, his novels...you will be enthralled, enchanted. Ah, I know a good place to start, "The Ocean At The End Of The Lane." :devilread: You will want to read everything he ever wrote once you get started. The first "Sandman" book that I read was "The Dream Hunters" He collaborated with a Japanese artist to create, arguably, the most beautiful graphic novel....EVER. :devilread: :devillove:
"Push something hard enough...and it will fall over."
Fudds First Law Of Opposition

“All art that is not mere storytelling or mere portraiture is symbolic...If you liberate a person or a landscape from the bonds of motives and their actions, causes and their effects...it will change under your eyes, and become a symbol of infinite emotion, a perfected emotion, a part of the Dark Divine Essence.”

William Butler Yeats

Films

Only Yesterday I tend to rewatch when things are getting confusing and my past is creeping back up, it reminds me to go on and that things really can happen.

Whisperer of the Heart reminds me that we're all still developing and to have patience and nurture yourself.

Games
The Cat Lady (Best ending), I can't really talk on this without spoiling anything.
If you're okay with mature content then play it and you'll understand.

Epistory
Beautiful and uplifting, seems childish at first glance, but give it a go and see it through.

Music
I'll just drop this playlist here.
