@iluvmozu I'll recomend you Romeo x Juliet. This anime fall in the categories of Historical, Drama and Fantasy. As you can imagine, adapt the Shakespeare history, but from an anime perspective, with its characteristic touches. Plus, the opening is wonderful!

I'm looking for a good sport anime or fantasy good plot :)
@Bahamut_Zero A sports anime that I noticed you haven't seen yet and I find quite good is Diamond no Ace, it is my favorite baseball, anime and Yowamushi no Pedal, it is about cycling so it might seem a little out there if it is not something you like, but I would still give it a try as it is very good and well made, and the story is top notch.

Also Tensai Ouji no Akaji Kokka Saisei Jutsu more mind games, witty dialogues, and brain-over-power vibes. 😄

@iluvmozu

Would love recommendations based on my favorites. Especially shows like Orb:On the Movements of the Earth, Tatami Galaxy, or Mononoke! I also really would love a show that feels like the end of The Land of Lustrous (manga)!

One show that is worth checking out is Kingdom! It is a historical that focuses on the warring states of china in 200 BCE. It also has great drama over the rulers of the kingdoms and especially Qin. It also has a little fantasy with a ninja character and a man that wants to transcend humanity by becoming the greatest fighter. One downside is that the show starts a little boring and has horrible animation the first 2 seasons. But after that it is consistently peak!

I would also recommend Mononoke. It is definitely not historical fiction, but does have a good mix of horror, fantasy, supernatural, and drama. The show focuses on a medicine sales man in the 14th century japan that stops a mix of mononoke(basically demons) by finding their truth, form and reason. The show has a fews short 2-3 episode arcs that each have a twist on the mononoke's reason for haunting things and what they are. Also the animation/art is beautiful.

It seems like our taste in anime is quite similar, so based on your favorites I'm guessing you like an interesting story with plot twists, some action and you don't mind older anime either. So here are my recommendations for you:

Death Parade is thought provoking, has an interesting setting and a few plot twists along the line. It really is a unique experience.
Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens has an interesting plot with interesting characters and a lot of action. I would say it's a bit similar to Banana Fish in some aspects.
Seirei no Moribito is again a quite unique experience, with travel, quite some action, plotics and great characters.

I hope you'll enjoy any of them if you decide to check them out :)

------

@Harisrox
Since you liked Genius Party, I'll just let you know, there's a Genius Party BEYOND out there, if you'd like to check.
Since you like sports anime and unique art styles, you might enjoy Dance Dance Danseur.
And you may also like Saraiya Goyou for the art style and the slow storytelling with many plot twists throughout.

I hope you'll enjoy :)

----

As for myself, I am open to romance or comedy I haven't watched yet. Or something you think is unique and should not miss from anyone's list :)

If you like Gurren Lagann, I recommend Kidou Butouden G Gundam. It’s one of the most over-the-top hot-blooded mecha anime, with fun characters and good romance.

I’d like something with a cute aesthetic with both romance and a good plot. Preferably not longer than 4-cour, and no harem unless the MC chooses one person in the end.

@AngelSaphire

I watched A Silent Voice, and here are some options I think give similar vibes:

Both Your Lie in April and Colorful have protagonists that struggle with inner turmoil and aren't mentally in the best of places. Both anime are tragic but also wholesome, and they make someone see life in a different light.

Meanwhile, Dororo is a little bit different, it's more gruesome and has action, but given you liked Demon Slayer, I think you might like like it too. The thing that made me think of Dororo when you mentioned "A Silent Voice" is that the protagonist (Hyakkimaru) is under a curse so he starts with nothing (no vision, no sense of smell, no hearing, nothing) and he slowly has to get those things back (nothing of this is spoiler, btw, this is all on the synopse). So I established this connection between Hyakkimaru and Nishimiya, both having to navigate the world differently. Besides, Dororo is very wholesome too.

If anyone wants to give me recommendations, I'm open to anything, but you can check my profile to get a sense of what I like the most if you want to.

@AppleIceCream Hi, I would like to recommend you to watch Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress.

I think it will fit your watching style from looking at your higher scored animes - it seems you like a mix of fantasy fighting anime that has a darker feel / appearance to them. I hope this show is somewhat to your taste :)

If you like loner-type protagonists who are secretly smart, you might enjoy Ore Monogatari!! (My Love Story!!).
It’s a bit different in tone, but the main character Takeo is unique, kind-hearted, and way more capable than he looks.
Here’s the link: Ore Monogatari!!

I’m really into overpowered main characters, so if you know any anime with OP protagonists—even underrated or lesser-known ones—I’m totally open to suggestions. Anything I haven’t seen is perfect for me!

@sawamura02 I see that you haven't seen Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited - Hyoubu Kyousuke. It's an underrated and lesser-known anime with an overpowered psychic antihero protagonist that I really enjoyed watching.
If you want another recommendation with an overpowered psychic antihero protagonist that I didn't enjoy quite as much (but maybe you'd like it), Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator might work.

I'd like a lesser known anime that I don't have on my list yet that has good storytelling.

Hey @robertson1 Not quite sure what you'd consider lesser know, so I'll recommend a few anime for you which I quite like and think have good storytelling.

1. Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku (Akebi's Sailor Uniform) is a 12 episode slice of life story about a girl goign to a new school because she liked their uniform, but it turns out that was their old uniform.
2. Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai (I Want To Eat Your Pancreas) is a movie about a high school boy who discovers his classmate is dying and decides to spend time with her making happy memories before she dies.
3. Takopii no Genzai (Takopi's Original Sin) is a 6 episode anime about an alien which lands on earth and meets a bullied child who he tries to make happy.

I'd like to be recommended anything someone thinks I'd like based on my watch history and series ratings.

Looking at your list, we got 100+ anime in common and you gave Your Lie in April a 10, so respect for that. If you want OP protagonist, there's The Classless Hero: I Didn't Need Skills Anyway and Unlimited Gacha airing this season (Pretty unique twists on the OP protag genre).

I've got 2 animes that fit your criteria of historical fiction, fantasy/supernatural and drama combined.

1) Ookami to Koushinryou: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf
In a Late Medieval European-inspired world, traveling merchant Kraft Lawrence meets Holo, the Wise Wolf as he navigates the world of market economics. Financial pressures and supernatural drama ensues. Romance included.

2) Gankutsuou
The Count of Monte Cristo re-imagined in a retro futuristic setting of the French-themed moon city of Luna. Very unique artwork for an anime. The story is still based on the original with some added liberties for the anime.

I love stuff like Toradora and Oregairu where the protagonist is a loner kind of character but is actually quite a smart person capable of solving problems quite easily. Any other anime with similar kind of main characters?
@LoopyDoopy Loner but smart? Then Rascal Does not Dream of a Bunny Girl Senpai is for you. Although the Protagonist gets kinda popular later on

You can also watch Makine. The proganist knows well how to handle tough situations. It's very comedic and enjoyable.

Any good action heroine anime not on my list that would be worth checking out?
@ENDgie

It is a movie but Princess Mononoke is an action anime with a heroine.
