Trying this again since I think I confused people with the previous topic.

A good friend of mine pointed out that I really thrive on stories with really intense magic battles in really well paced stories with very likable adult characters who I wanna see survive.

I wanna SEE intense magic battles, please recommend shows, movies, and Graphic Novels where I'll get to see these.

Emphasis on the word SEE, as I'm trying to cut back on the amount of visual free Ebooks I read so so I don't get burnt out again. I love Lightbringer 1: The Black Prism, and I know about The Wheel of Time and Mistborn. They're not what I'm looking for right now.

Also, hopefully this goes without saying, but please don't recommend fiddler crap. That's not cool.

By shows and movies I mean both live action and anime.

Some of my fave anime titles like this are:

Slayers
Blast of Tempest
Fate/Zero
Stigma of the Wind
Slayers(fave comedy anime.)
Gunslinger Stratos
Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign
Log Horizon
Fairy Tail

Some of my more recent faves like this are:

The Misfit of Demon King Academy
Bofuri: invulnerable MMO
Fire Force
Record Of Grancrest War(fave anime.)
Afterlost
Cop Craft

Something someone mentioned that I migh wanna check out:

Black Clover(They never told me the average age of the main cast, can someone please help.)

Memory is a joke so I can't think of many live action fantasy shows or movies that nail this, but I do really really love Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. Buffy and Angel are my 2 favorite shows, but they didn't really have the budget for cool looking magic spells.

Also, please don't assume that I know about something just because it's super popular. Especially movies. There's a reason that the only examples I've given are Star Wars titles.

There's way too many books like this that are among my faves, but I can say that really love a lot of sci-fi fantasy graphic novels that Image Comics has published like The Sword, and Invincible. Someone on another forum mentioned DCeased and said that that's got a lot of magic battles.

I'm also currently reading through the manga Frieren, it's about the journeys of a Mage elf decades after her adventuring party saved the world from The Demon Lord. Love it

So, what can you recommend? Keep in mind I'm looking for stuff that's well paced, with very likable adult characters who I wanna see survive.

Overlord has some cool magic battles, but it isn't only magic.

Also I really dig how magic works in jobless reincarnation.

Black clover is basically all magic users.

The Last Summoner is a lot of magicked up kung-fu, but there is also a lot of just straight up magic. It's got pretty sick animation. It's chinese but it's on crunchyroll.

The Irregular at Magic High School is an interesting take on magic. Main character is technically a teenager but he's got the personality of a soldier.

If you like Buffy and Angel, have you watched Agents of SHIELD?

its a marvel show by Joss Whedon and his brother and sister in law, it feels a lot like Buffy and Angel except it has a bigger budget. It starts out a little but slow but once you get into it, its amazin.g.

The characters are all so likable

Are a lot of magic spells being cast in the show? Isn't it mostly regular people dealing with superheroes?

Like I said in the previous topic, for the love of god, don't recommend fiddler crap. I'm asking here instead on the anime board to avoid this crap.

Zatch Bell, the cast runs a bit young (they do that thing where they look like theyre high schoolers but the lead is in middle school), but the fights are intense, and every single person in the main crew is broken in their own way by the end. The fights are ALWAYS super creative, and basically all of the MCs spells are critical to his wins.

Its more of an action comedy adventure, but when it gets serious, it knows to put its baby toys away. But dont go expecting seriously adult stuff.

what even counts as fiddler stuff?

most of the characters are normal but they use magic-ish technology. Also some of the characters gain powers throughout the series, (specifically one of the main characters)

I mainly recommend it because there are plenty of crazy battles in the show, and lots of great characters, it reminded me a lot of Buffy and Angel (2 of my favorite shows)

It didn't just diverge, the anime straight up doesn't have an ending.

Even if you think you might not like an anime watching an episode or two to see if you do is not a huge commitment. Dismissing any of them offhand just seems odd to me when after 1-2 episodes you know for sure 99 times out of 100 if it's up your alley.

I have enjoyed some anime that I thought I wouldn't and vice versa many times.

Mhm, but if anime pulls fiddler crap I especially need to stay away from it right now for the sake of my mental health.

I don't see how overlord has fiddler crap or black clover. Jobless reincarnation I understand but the other two, I don't see it.
