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?

    Initially the early 20th century setting but with the advanced robot hands but also with the automemory dolls because most people can’t write, took some getting used to.

    I think the worldbuilding was a bit meh, they explained very little of what was actually going on.

    But the character development and general story telling where really good and I basically binged the last half. I cried quite a bit. Very much enjoyed it, thanks for the great recommendation.
