This list consists of series that are not necessarily classic fantasy but at least offer a similar atmosphere around companions and adventures. We present you a mix of anime, animation, and live-action.
This is not a ranking, but a list of recommendations. If you have any movie or series recommendations that more or less fit Baldur’s Gate, feel free to share them with us in the comments.
The Legend of Vox Machina
What kind of series is this? The world of Vox Machina is based on Dungeons and Dragons and an existing role-playing campaign called Critical Role, which you can find on YouTube. The animated series follows a group of different heroes.
These heroes are known classes that you would also find in a DnD campaign. The dynamic of the group is in focus and is the highlight of the story. Despite its appearance, the series is not for children and tells an adult story with partially explicit depictions of combat and violence.

Overlord
What kind of series is this? The series belongs to the popular isekai genre. Our protagonist ends up in the game in which he was incredibly skilled. The popular MMO was supposed to be shut down, but Momonga simply doesn’t log out and finds himself in a world where he is the seemingly invincible Ainz Ooal Gown.
However, since his character is already incredibly strong, he neither has to level up nor train. His party full of NPCs develops their own personalities, and Momonga is confronted with a world he knows very well. Animated by the good studio Madhouse, the series also looks really good, making every battle exciting despite the main character’s overwhelming strength.
