Over the years, anime has given us some of the most iconic magic users in existence. Magic has become a common trope in anime, with some of the most powerful mages in the genre being capable of destroying entire countries with but a few spells. But just what makes these magic users so incredibly powerful? And who is the most powerful magician? To answer your question, we bring you the 10 best magic anime with OP magic users in existence.
Here are the 10 best OP magic users in magic anime series
When it comes to magic, some anime characters are more powerful than others. Throughout the vast world of anime, some characters have access to abilities and skills that make them overpowered and virtually unstoppable. In the following list, we’ll look at the top 10 Best OP magic users in anime and don’t compare them with each other because all are overpowered in their own universe.
10. The Irregular at Magic Highschool (Tatsuya Shiba)
Irregular at Magic High School has one of the coolest approaches to the magic we have ever seen in anime. Magic is more of a blend of technology than fantasy. With magic being used in a number of different fields, even medicine. We follow Tatsuya Shiba, living with his younger sister in Tokyo and attending an elite magical academy. An athletic young man with deep-set blue eyes and black hair.
He isn’t the greatest looking but certainly very handsome, quiet, and stoic, never revealing confusion or excitement. His true strength lies with just how intelligent and analytical Tatsuya Shiba really is. Able to immediately identify and analyze situations.
Due to some insane magical procedures, Tatsuya actually lacks the ability to feel strong emotions such as fear, despair, envy, hatred, disgust, gluttony, lust, and love. Except for love for his little sister, of course. Insane anime series that pushes the limits of intense storytelling and engaging world-building.
Armed with nothing but his quick thinking and his awesome magic-powered gun, the journey of Tatsuya Shiba is one that you do not want to miss out on.

09. How Not To Summon a Demon Lord (Diablo)
We follow a complete loner that is one day transported into the virtual world of his favorite video game. He shows up as his own end-game character, the demon lord Diablo. He was summoned there by two young girls that attempted to make him their servant, but because of a magic ring he’s wearing, the two girls become his servant instead. In real life, our MC has serious social anxiety.
He’s a complete shut-in that absolutely hates interacting with other people. He is stuck in this fantasy realm, but he can make use of his insanely overpowered character and unrivaled knowledge of this game world. His character Diablo is unbelievably overpowered.
With a huge range of skills and abilities, he’s able to wipe away other high-level paladins and fighters with literally no effort whatsoever.

08. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Rimuru Tempest)
One of the biggest anime out right now, Rimuru is the lead character and is easily one of the most powerful magic users across all of anime. He was initially arriving in this isekai world as a blue slime but due to his ability he slowly morphed into a demon slime.
It was only a matter of time until this line began to morph and emulate the creatures around it. Growing over time and imitating larger creatures until we see Rimuru mimic an actual human child. With silver-blue hair, the small childlike appearance of Rimuru Tempest should not fool you because this slime is an insanely overpowered magic user.
Very kind and quirky, laid-back, and relaxed, Rimuru looks to avoid drama and unnecessary difficult situations. However, when things get tough, Rimuru tends to panic and overreact, but this shows how much he cares for them, getting extremely worried as opposed to his usual cheerful self. When Rimuru accesses his real rage and anger, you need to watch out.

Charlotte is a brilliant anime series that surrounds the first-year transfer student Yuu Otasuka. Yuu has the ability to temporarily possess a person for five seconds. However, it’s later revealed that his actual ability is stealing the abilities of the ability user he possesses.
As you can imagine, this makes Yuu insanely overpowered. He later becomes known as the one eye grim reaper and is easily one of the most powerful beings in all of charlotte and possibly all of anime. Yuu is a pretty good-looking boy with dark brown hair and maroon eyes. He starts off as selfish, arrogant, narcissistic, and constantly misuses his powerful magical abilities.

One of the greatest modern isekai series, Overlord is an absolute classic and a definite must-watch. With Ainz Ooal Gown, the lead character reflects some of the most insane magic powers we have ever seen in anime. Formerly known as Momonga, Ainz Ooal Gown is considered one of the most powerful supreme beings in the entire world. Given the title of Sorcerer King and known as one of the most powerful magic users in the whole world as well as one of the most powerful adventurers.
A pretty huge skeletal figure that dresses pretty menacingly. Ainz is generally a very cautious and stingy person. Looking to plan ahead and control things to avoid any kind of unexpected events.
He is very cold and calculating with repressed emotions, happy to lie and provoke his enemies. Whatever it takes to give him an upper hand.

05. Hellsing Ultimate(Alucard)
Hellsing Ultimate is a series that is very well known for its scary and horrific imagery as well as its insane level of violence, but we don’t really get a sense of just how violent Hellsing can be until we see Alucard really letting loose in the iconic London massacre scene.
Alucard finally reveals his true levels of power after the Nazis, Ku Klux Klan, and the church think they can bring him down. The vampire lord seems cornered but unleashes himself, consumes a huge portion of the enemy soldiers, and turns them into mindless soldiers who begin fighting for him.
Tortured souls, flaming horsemen, and demonic entities run wild as we begin to see the London streets filling with rivers of blood. Absolutely stylish, unbelievably brutal, and insanely savage. Hellsing Ultimate is easily one of the greatest anime series of all time, and Alucard is the most powerful vampire out there and easily one of the most powerful characters in the entire series.

04. Fairy Tail (Natsu Dragneel)
Fairy Tail may not be making big news like it did when it was first released, but its well-written and interesting characters really set it apart from most other animes that were out there at the time. Natsu Dragneel is easily one of the greatest and most insane characters out of the original Fairy Tail series.
He served as a mage and died 400 years ago but was revived by his brother. Natsu is actually one of the five ultra-elite dragon slayers sent to the future from 400 years on the past to sway the tides of war.
A young and muscular man with spiky pink hair, covered in scars from his many epic battles, it’s clear to see that you do not want to mess with Natsu. Very carefree and reckless, Natsu is insanely loyal and protective of his loved ones.

A fantastic anime series set across a magical kingdom. We follow the extremely lazy Ryner Lute as he sets off across the kingdom on the hunt for the relics of a legendary hero. In a desperate attempt to stop the ongoing war and the deadly curse that is rapidly spreading across the entire continent.
Ryner is an insanely powerful being with the ability to copy and use any magic that he sees. Slowly getting the name of the deadliest Magician of Roland, he keeps to himself as he does not want to harm or cause sadness to anyone around him.
A dedicated and loyal friend and lover, Ryner has slowly come to terms with the fact that he is actually a monster, with one of the earliest memories of him waking up on the battlefield. With a rough life throughout, his life is almost over when he uses his strong magical powers and manages to save those around him.
Things get darker with the life of Ryner Lute, but these are serious spoilers that we are not willing to get into. The Legend of the Legendary Heroes is a brilliant anime series that we definitely recommend you check out for yourself.

The world of Seven Deadly Sins has some incredibly powerful and impressive magic users, but Merlin is considered the greatest mage in all of Britannia. She uses a powerful magical artifact, a sacred treasure known as Alden. Merlin can summon this powerful floating arm whenever she wants and use it with her spells and her inherent power. Even her name Merlin is fake as your actual name cannot be pronounced by humans.
Merlin is a slim and attractive woman, extremely tall with three marks below her right eye. She is often seen wearing a fur-collared suit with shorter black long hair. Merlin generally appears to be a very playful and friendly character.
However, she is insanely strong and can easily wipe out entire armies with a flick of her wrist. She does like to play around and enjoy smocking and challenging those around her, especially her princess Vivian. She is a very calm and passive woman that rarely loses her cool.
