| Looks good
| And if there's anything you think I'd like based on these, please recommend it! I couldn't find anything purely historical but I would quite like some.
In terms of fantasy I'm not whiny about accuracy and realism, but I don't like really over the top shit (deflecting volleys of arrows seems to be a staple). If you know of a very realistic fantasy anime (maybe Maria?) though please let me know.
| 'Houseki no Kuni' to see good 3D anime
| >>375785 btw anime very rarely focuses on "realism" it's a medium designed for over the top action and visuals for a reason. If you like "realism" just stick to regular irl movies and TV shows.

Nah, I like a bit of exaggeration, just not all-out stuff.
Forgot to add, post-apoc anime? Ergo Proxy maybe, also Desert Punk. Anything else?
| Madoka is a must watch, but watch regular magical girl like cardcaptor sakura and sailor moon first. Also no spoilers. Madoka spoilers are inescapible.
| Also for Studio Ghibli, Princess Mononoke is a no duh.
| I'd replace castle in the sky with Nausicaa. Not a fan of castle in the sky's villain and a few last parts of the movie. Nausicaa on the other hand, has a gorgeous nature mixed with post apocalyptic backgrounds.
Also not a fan of Howl either, it's too non-sensical for me, go for Mononoke instead, it is darker and has more interesting characters.
One more, add Cowboy bebop to your "obvious" list. It is suited for western audience or anybody who are not familiar with anime.
| Tekkonkinkreet mixes fantasy with post-apocalypse and crime, definitely give it a try. Trigun is a must, and maybe Casshern Sins?
Both are manga (and not really fantasy), but Vagabond and Golden Kamuy are like the best in the historical genre.
| Baccano takes place mostly in 1920s New York and has fun, well animated action scenes and good characters. I think it is pretty accessible to a new viewer, but has fairly complex story lines.
