Other than the Fate series, “Record of Ragnarok”, and “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?” What others besides these?

    Using some concepts, but not really a retelling of the story:

    Matantei Loki Ragnarok

    Aa! Megami-sama!

    How thin do you want to stretch it? Dragonball is based on the old Chinese myth of Journey to the West. Neon Genesis Evangelion is bases on Christian myths.

    Depends on how freely you assign historical tales mythical status, but Vinland Saga contains a lot of influence lifted directly from actual Viking stories like the Greenlander Saga.

    There’s enough of the fantastical in both the historical sources and in the adaptation that I think it qualifies as an adaptation of folklore, if not myth.

    Well depends on your standards. Saint Seiya is one that comes to mind, because I’m old, but as with most animes the plot has hardly anything to do with actual myth. It’s just characters based lightly on mythical characters.

      I guess this got downvotes because it mostly has the mythical people by name only? Or is there anything else I’m missing?
