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?
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 based on Christian myths.
NGE’s more skewed towards Rabbinic Kabbalah Judaism. Still Abrahamic though.
Anno has flat out said that Eva’s religious imagery was just an esthetic. If it’s based on any myth, it’s his fandom of Ultraman.
Yep, got my flavours of Judaism mixed-up.
…and it’s just Anno cherry picking “cool” stuff anyway ;-)
“Dragonball is based on the old Chinese myth of Journey to the West”
I never made the connection between goku’s peculiarities and journey to the West, that’s interesting, thanks.
I mean this as politely as possible but you thought a man name Goku, who won martial arts tournaments through deceptive techniques, had a monkey tail, transformed into an ape, used a magic cloud as transportation, and had an extending pole as a weapon was unrelated to Journey to the West?
Noragami is a great one about Japanese mythology.
Ancient Magus Bride has lots of Anglo mythology.
Seven deadly sins uses a lot of biblical and mythical influences.
Trinity Blood uses the papal state as a government.
Hetalia Axis powers uses mythical representations of countries as characters, this might be a stretch.
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.
Evangelion is based on christian mythology.
