I'm gonna be straight here, I am in part creating this thread because I just need to talk about a singular recommendation, so if this does not fit the criteria of what a discussion thread is supposed to be, well, I guess you wouldn't be reading this. So, under the assumption that this post still exists, I wanted to ask for shows, films or games that gave you a similar experience to Houseki no Kuni. Either way, let me give you my personal recommendation here, if you like this manga, I beg you to play Sunset Visitor's debut title 1000xResist, it is about a society of sisters in a future long after the extinction of humanity and I guess, I do not really need to go further into similarities. These are two widely different stories, but they share many singular aspects that lead me to love both of them and they are both excellent in their own way. I haven't heard a lot of people talk about this game, which is a real tragedy, because it is unironically one of, if not the best narrative experience I've ever seen in a game. Really, if you like this manga, do yourself the service of playing what I assume to be a classic for years to come.

Anyway, that's all from me, maybe you have something else to share, looking forward to your recommendations ^^

IMO, the recommendations section in MAL is completely right with this one. AoT and Fire Punch are by far the most similar things to hnk I've seen.

Something that also reminds me thematically of this is Nier Automata, a game that explores what humanity is without having a single human character

@Paharo05 I didn't even think of Nier, but that one is actually really good. Of course, they are still widely different, but they approach humanity as a subject in a similar way.

Blame and The Horizon (manhwa) are the only ones which I think lie in the same medium as hnk, both have a post-apocalyptic theme, whilst the characters are trying to achieve a goal.

The Tale of Princess Kaguya from Studio Ghibli is a movie that comes to mind. It has similar symbols and character design (I can’t really specify without spoiling much).

@Massailant I see what you mean, it's especially on the nose with the
, but I actually never thought of that. Isn't it fascinating how you can have these completely different views on art, that all seem obvious once you think about them, still you never really even considered them. Or maybe I'm just dumb, who knows. Anyway, thanks, I can also recommand that film, though it wasn't really for me, it is still a tremendous work of art.
