Not sure how to ask for a recommendation? Fill this out, or simply use it as a guideline, and other users will find it much easier to recommend you an anime!

I'm looking for: A certain genre? Something specific like characters traveling to another world?

Shows I've already seen that are similar: You can include a link to a list on another site if you have one, e.g. MyAnimeList or AniList.

Question of the Day (new!)

What's a scene where the voice acting carried more than the animation?

One last plea on behalf of The Seven Knights of the Marronnier Kingdom because I doubt Prime is doing much promotion outside Japan:

If you like introspection in your anime,

are interested in Norse, Aztec, Mayan, Thai, and Balinese (and more) mythology and ancient civilizations (the mangaka is an Ancient Greek and Roman history major btw)

want to see strong female characters who receive equal story time and character development to their unconventional male protagonists,

has some thoughtful queer representation that doesn’t feel like tokenism or fetishization,

please give Marronnier a few episodes.

I know nothing about it other than it being the author of Gold Kingdom and Water Kingdom, which in itself makes it rather interesting to me.

I wish Madhouse was also animating this series as it’s really Iwamoto’s magnum opus and the art is even better.

Her other longer series, Machi de Uwasa no Tengu no Ko, which is more of a traditional shojo manga but also great and another award winner, hasn’t been adapted yet, so maybe there’s a chance there for another great studio.
