Violinist of Hameln is pretty keen but uhhh be prepared for it to be REALLY LOW BUDGET (it's more like a slideshow and they saved all their money to actually animate the last episode). It might be more worth watching if you've actually read the manga (which is...COMPLETELY different as far as tone and pacing).
NOT AN ANIME BUT HAVE YOU SEEN AVATAR YET? OMG EXCELLENT.
I'm not much into live action either but it's worth at least giving the first episode a shot. It's hilarious from the get-go.
VoH is pretty awesome (the manga, anyway). The manga is absolutely ridiculous and jumps from ABSURD HILARITY to serious drama in the span of a panel. The anime...pretty much took out all the hilarious parts and focused on the drama.
Also, Junni Kokki/12 Kingdoms. But that's kind of -- SERIOUS BUSINESS FANTASY. One of my faaaave series evaaaar though.
I second Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight, if only because uhhhh the opening for it is my favourite anime OP of all fucking time forever, the end.
What else. Escaflowne, but you've SEEN THAT. BUT YOU SHOULD REWATCH EET. >(
And Mushishi, which isn't fantasy so much as it is -- magical realism? Super cool, episodic series that has NO DRAMATIC PLOT TO SPEAK OF but still is so, so excellent. You can also watch the eps in any order you please, which is also funtimes if you're randomly adverse to marathoning.
Earth Girl Arjuna = AMAAAZING. And the musics by Yoko Kanno which makes it DOUBLE PLUS AMAZING
Neon Genesis Evangelion = At first glance you think its a mech anime. But its not~ Its also amaazing. I gotta run otherwise id summarize em, but you should check em out.

Android Kikaider is one of my favourites (but sooo hard to find copies of, it seems)
Record of Lodoss War? Though I'm sure you'll have already seen that one. (and OVA >>>>> TV series)
This one isn't anime, it's a live action Chinese martial arts drama (comedy), but omg I love it so hard: The Monkey King: Quest for the Sutra.
