For whatever reason I always have trouble finding anime or novels

It's pretty entry level, but samurai champloo hits like half those marks. It might not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's great regardless.

The Seven Deadly Sins
Brave Ten

Sounds almost like any isekai desu.

Mushoku Tensei has the MC and his tsunbitch cousin that he takes as his bride later on and a member of a universally hated race trying to get back to his hme after a supernatural teleportation disaster.

Then after that party gets disbanded he lives a cushy life with his first wife (not the tsunbitch) until he has to rescue his mother with his alcoholic recovering father, another of his future wives, a gay dwarf, an apostle of a god, and a slutty elf

Akatsuki no Yona.

Fucking Pierrot for building up the hype and then just end it before they can even complete the main team. The OVAs are not enough.

>>290783
I can't even begin how much I want to form a Nuclear Naval Battle Group with You, Anon, and Sail there, And take over that studio, And..

Jokes aside, there are not that many shows where flashbacks make not only sense, but actually develop the plot.

It's short but Weathering Continent.

Funny enough, Grimgar seems to be a great fit for what I was looking for so far (just finished ep. 4), even though I don't care much about the whole amnesia/real world vs. fantasy thing it tried to set up.

Thanks, anon. Shame I'll probably be done with it in a couple of days at most.

Go with Log Horizon after Grimgar.

It's much lighter, and though the basic setting is the same, the execution is much more enjoyable desu.

>>291166
The whole "real world teens whisked away to live in an MMORPG world!" schtick is actually one of my least favorite things in this entire category of shows- it's tolerable in Grimgar so far because it seems to have very little bearing on these characters' decisions or behavior in the world thanks to the whole >amnesia bit, and Konosuba wasn't bad about it because it only really played it up for laughs, but if I could just get personal adventures across the medieval countryside without the whole tired MMO bit, that'd be nice.

>>291610
I get that, but Log Horizon is pretty much universally lauded for a reason.

Also, there's always DanMachi. Spinoff is being adapted this season too.

>>291165
>Last Exile
Funny enough, to me It was a dreamy experience. The steampunkish setting only added in for the effect for me.

>>291731
Not the OP.

Log Horizon is nice (at ep 6 right now). However, I have never been into utterly overpowered MCs (no excitement), and LH is kinda continuously sending me signals that MCs put to solve plot thickenings might get away from those too easily. It would become utterly boring in the end.

Grimgar was a way much better in this sense. Grimgar made me genuinely worry about the fate of the characters.

I like the animation flow in the Log Horizon though. A lot. CGA support is almost invisible and doesn't bother me at all.

>>291935
Grimgar is pretty much a show about scrubs learning how to do shit. The hard way.

Log Horizon is about experienced players building a society after the massive isekai happens, but there's also big segments dedicated to scrubs being helped by these experienced players. But yeah, the whole point of Shiroe is that he's what would happen if Sun Tzu or Machiaveli or whatever got isekai'd. But nowhere as overpowered as No Game No Life, which is also fantastic despite that.

>strategic, and at times, tactical?
Yes.

And heavily political. You'll see soon. In episode 9, particularly.

>>292000
You were faster than me, I deleted my message due to fuckton of typos

>>291962
(I'm the anon you answered to)

You say
>about experienced players but unintentional event, got that bit
>Anime implies to a team of crazy strong "special forces" out-of-place
>due to the situation, "special forces" are coming up with their own missions in every other episode

It has disturbingly felt at times like Jietai Gate I ended up hating passionately. No offence to the fans.

But, no worries with the Log Horizon then? No cringe? ... But actually strategic, and at times, tactical?

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll continue watching it

If you compare Spice & Wolf and 12 Kingdoms like that I personally feel insulted

>>292264
Twelve Kingdoms was a fantastic series, had some of the most in-depth worldbuilding I've seen in a fantasy anime so far and told a grand and epic story while showing some real character progression (albeit somewhat stilted at times). I enjoyed it a lot.

It's also not exactly what I was looking for.

Spice and Wolf S1 was pretty nice, felt really cozy and did something a little different which made it enjoyable. It was a lot smaller in scope and had more of a just-traveling-the-countryside feel, which is closer to what I was hoping to find.

So the first was easily, hands down the better show. But I enjoyed both for very different reasons.

>>292268
Spice and Wolf is trash aimed at teens with the mentality of a 15 year old girl.
