It depends on two things for a good fantasy anime:
Quality of original content
Quality of adaptation
Because of how popular fantasy isekai is the same way regression is popular in South Korea and cultivation in China, some studios think they can cut corners leading to people thinking that fantasy in general is basic and leads to a self fulfilling stigma. I've seen TOO many good stories ruined by cost cutting studios that the deserve a 'Fruit Baskets' treatment and quality adaptation.
There are some EXCELLENT stories that have fantasy elements still available, one I'd love to see a quality adaptation is The Galactic Navy Officer becomes an adventurer as it combines sci fi WITH fantasy with commander of an AI Starship having to land on a planet after a sustaining damage to find it a medieval like society with magic. That would be a great anime IF they treated it right.

It's harder to do escapism in Sci fi than fantasy and Asia REALLY loves escapism right now.
