I have been watching The Rose Of Versailles lately and have been loving it! It is a great mix of character development, political intrigue, and drama. The character relationships have been fun to watch and Oscar is an amazing character as are many of the others in the show. I have seen very few anime that are outside of the shone/seinen demographics so I would like to expand that now! I also really enjoyed watching Magic Knight Rayearth and The Vision Of Escaflowne so I would love to watch some more story driven shows like them all! I am not really into episodic/monster of the week shows so that gets rid of a lot of magical girl anime. Thank you for any recommendations!

If you like Rose of Versailles, I can recommend Oniisama E by the same author.

@Galletita

Were more of the author’s works adapted? It looks like the author, Riyoko Ikeda, wrote a ton of manga! She even wrote a sequel to The Rose Of Versailles which was never adapted.

@Enderobot
You can always check her page, which says it's just Versailles and Oniisama.

I've heard good things about her Orpheus manga.

@Enderobot As far as I know, Oniisama E and Rose of Versailles are her only works with anime adaptations. Most of her manga has only being translated in select European languages (I think mostly Italian and French)

I've read Rose of Versailles, Oniisama E, Claudine and Ten no Hate made: Poland Hishi and can recommend all of them.

Kodomo no Omocha. Don't let the young age of the cast fool you, the show deals with some heavy themes at times. Other times it's funny as hell. Sana Kurata just might be the mentally strongest shoujo heroine I've ever seen.
