I watched “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” a few weeks ago which is probably my first proper anime (not counting the odd episode of Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon or OnePiece I caught on TV as a child) and I really enjoyed it.

Especially the slow but deep character build up and general world building and exploration themes were really captivating. So I’m looking for something similar with focus on these aspects.

So far I found “Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina”, which was ok but didn’t quite live up to Frieren and wasn’t nearly as captivating.

So does anyone know similar shows or at least shows that focus on the aspects of story telling I mentioned avove?

    Kino’s Journey

    Already looked into that one and have both versions prepared.

    Thanks!

      OP, I just want to STRONGLY second Violet Evergarden. The individual episodes don’t really connect to one another except through Violet, which is definitely a change from Frieren. But one wrinkle. There’s a movie that sits in between episodes 4 and 5, chronologically, and then there’s a movie that sits at the end of all of it. Go in blind, though. Trust me, you’ll really appreciate having done so.
