5 Anime That Will Remind You of Genshin Impact Characters

In case you don’t want to forget about the game even while watching anime.

If you’re also one of those who are still waiting for that Genshin Impact anime (seriously, Ufotable, what’s up with that?) here’s a small list of series that might remind you of the game with their character design.

  1. The Founder of Diabolism (2018)

Since this is a Chinese anime, it will mostly remind you of the Liyue region of the game. And you’re sure to find at least a couple of characters with Zhongli vibes.

Wei Wuxian’s reign of terror ends when he is killed by one of his allies. 13 years later, he is summoned into the body of a madman.

Meanwhile, a severed arm leaking demonic energy is discovered, forcing him to investigate this mystery. The attempts to do so lead him to a person he used to know, Lan Wangji.

  1. The Apothecary Diaries (2023)

And we’re here with the Liyue vibes again, but this time you’ll also find something that will remind you of Inazuma, too.

Maomao is incredibly skilled at medicine, but she’s trying to hide it to avoid unnecessary attention. However, she can’t stay away when the emperor's infants get terribly sick.

She interferes and manages to save a baby from a disease, and now she’s promoted to a lady of the royal household, attending to the emperor's favorite concubine.

  1. KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World (2016)

Every other character in this series looks like they were in your Genshin Impact party only a minute ago.

Kazuma’s death was rather pathetic and even laughable: he died on his way back from a game store. But no worries, a goddess Aqua is about to give him a second chance by reincarnating him into a fantasy world.

This sounds like a dream to a gamer like Kazuma. In the new world, his first task is to kill a Demon King, and he makes a mistake of choosing Aqua as his partner to help him with the mission.

  1. Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? (2015)

The main character will definitely remind you of Razor. Minus all the wolf stuff, that is. But he’s not the only one, there will be others to give you the Genshin Impact vibes.

Bell Cranel is a 14-year-old rookie adventurer who dreams big and wants to become the best of the best.

Meeting a lone goddess, Hestia, brings him a bit closer to this dream. The girl helps him to embark on a new exciting quest to the dungeon infested with deadly monsters.

MyAnimeList score: 7.54

  1. How Not to Summon a Demon Lord (2018)

If you’ve ever wanted to add a bit of ecchi to Genshin Impact and follow an Itto-looking protagonist, this series is for you.

In an MMORPG game, Takuma is a force to be reckoned with. However, in real life, he’s quite antisocial. But he’s about to be summoned into a fantasy world, where he’ll have the appearance of his game character and be greeted by two gorgeous girls.

MyAnimeList score: 6.84
