Do you wish there were more historical anime?

I already explained that. Most of those anime tagged as "historical" are more fantasy anime with one or two historical elements. They're not actually historical in setting and plot wise.

You can find enough historical evidence and thrilling events throughout most of human history since antiquity. Even boring events can be turned into compelling narratives with the right writers and director involved.

From what I've seen that anime will mostly be about astronomy. I'm not that familiar with it, but I don't actually think it'll be an action anime, might be wrong tho. Regardless I'm excited about it since the setting and historical basis seem interesting.

I feel they are too historically inaccurate. I only like it if it is accurate or just obvious it isnt pretending to be accurate and just going for aesthetics.

Historical is a big word.

It really depends on what period and what setting wr are talking about.

I would LOVE to see a proper pirate anime, or an anime about gladiators.

Do you mean the Black Lagoon? By the way, can you recommend me any anime based on my list?
Added you as a friend, guy from Iran

@Swyzen Black lagoon is a fantastic show, but no I mean something a long the lines pirate of the Caribbean and black sails. Funnily enough the closest thing to a proper pirate anime is Vinland saga.

Based on your list, I actually think you'll really like Black sails, even though it's not anime. It's very similar to vinland season 1 with it's writing, has a lot of cool and bad ass characters that also have a ton of depth to them, and since it came out at a similar time where game thrones was huge, it also has a lot of sex and violence, specially at the start.

Which is good, cause the start is the weakest part, the show picks up towards the end of s1, and from s2 onward is a 10/10.

Anime wise,

I suggest Akudama drive, It's pretty action packed, gory and tragic, which seem to be hitting a lot of the marks from the other shows that you have enjoyed.

I also strongly suggest made in abyss, you might find it a little slow at the start, since it's not as action heavy, but I'm fairly confident you love it by the end.

If you enjoyed Akudama drive, you should also definitely check out cyberpunk edge runners afterwards. or vice versa if you think cyberpunk looks more interesting, both are great and have very similar qualities, even though I personally prefer akudama drive.

You seem to also like a good amount of anime that deal with time travel, to which steins;gate is the goat of. The start is a lot more slice of life-y with some sci-fi nerd appeal and great mystery writing. Which I still love cause the character interactions are gold, but even of you weren't a huge fan of that, it does pick up. and when it does, there are very few people on earth that won't fall in love.

Even fewer when it comes to time travel fans.

Oh also,

For Akudama drive and Cyberpunk I suggest the dub over the sub

and For made in abyss I suggest the sub over the dub

And for steins;gate I definitely think you should try both and see which one you like more, because both are incredible, but they feel VERY different. So again, I really really suggest watching the first episode, or at least a few minutes of the first episode in both to see which one you prefer.

@APolygons2 Thank you very much for the recommendations! I will add all 3 anime to my list. Made in Abyss was already on my list by the way. Thanks again!

@Swyzen Hope you enjoy, oh and just a heads up that I forgot to mention earlier, for akudama drive make sure to watch the blueray version.

The tv format has horrible censoreship for the violence, and the bluerays even has an extended final episode.

@APolygons2 What is BlueRay? Can I have a link?

@Swyzen Blueray is a disc, think CD and DVD but the one that they have been using for the past decade or so. When a show finishes airing it generally gets a blueray release which tends to have some bonus content or extra polish. A lot of OVAs are made for bluerays. Generally, they aren't that different from the original. but in rare cases like Akudama drive, or Jujutsu kaisen s2, the Blueray has a pretty big impact on how good it is.

I will send you the link of a site that has the bluerays in messages.

@APolygons2

It's called Bluray, not Blueray.
