If you want something similar to legend of the legendary hero, try Tears to Tiara. I won't say it is an amazing series, but it is a long RPG-like adventurous journey.

Other things that might in the adventure/action (w/ magic) genre:
Brave 10 (Can't say this is great either)
Hagure Yuusha no Estetica (only selling point is the MC unless you want fanservice)

If you want something more like Sacred Blacksmith, there is probably at least 1 action (harem) romcom every season, so that shouldn't be too hard to find.

I'll suggest 2 pretty unique anime that you might be interested in.

Durarara!



What it's about:
Durarara is an anime based around the city of Ikebukuro. It is centered around several characters and tries to tell all their stories in one setting. You'll often see the same situation from the point of perspective of multiple characters. Apart from that it also has a great demonstration of how much character each and every one of the protagonists have. While I can't reveal much, the anime deals with the super natural, conspiracies, some slice of life and some pretty funny scenes at time.

I really don't wanna spoil anything but this is a really really unique anime.



Baccano!



What it's about:
This is another interesting anime based around the 30's in America. The setting is very authentic and it's quite impressive to see the amount of small detail put into some scenes or some of the people around the earlier times of America. This anime handles multiple points of view in one scene, however, it also follows multiple points of view in different times (the scenes tend to go back from 2 years ago up to the character's current present). Just like before, the protagonists pretty much feel like they're not just a dull piece of plot points and it ends up being another interesting thing to watch.

To make things more interesting, both Durarara and Baccano were written by the same person. To continue on, the same anime studio has also done the anime itself. This being said, you should only expect the best from these two.



If you're interested in checking these out, do so! I'm sure you won't regret it!

School Days absolutely, but I warn you that the plot goes a bit crazy in the end of the anime.

i would recommend chihayafuru :)

it's an anime that describes the growth and journey of a girl named Chihaya who finds herself through a japanese card game called karuta. i wasn't really expecting much when i started it, but it's definitely one of the more beautiful anime i've seen.

I'm looking for some decent supernatural/psychological genres anime. Something among the lines of Death Note, Higurashi, Mirai Nikki, or Madoka Magica, but avoiding horror genre like Elfen Lied and Gantz.
Apex_old
I want a series with Symbolism+Allusions+Well-thought Plot. So that does not include Evangelion.

Try Shinsekai Yori ( The Horror still exists, but not as much as Elfen Lied ) or Chaos;Head ( Horror still exists, but same as SY, not much as Elfen Lied )

Blood Lad is pretty similar to Hataraku Maou-sama though now, till episode 3 it didn't show much romance, but well, comedy for sure

can someone recommend me an anime with a perceptive/intelligent protagonist? preferably rom com, but it's ok if not. for example Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru, Hyouka, Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai, Steins; Gate

and perhaps anime about motivation, passion, and perseverance like Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo?

thanks

It's not an anime, it's a VN but it has what you want, a pretty clever protagonist, romance and good comedy (and pretty good drama too), its called Sharin no Kuni ~ Himawari no Shoujo.
If you liked Yahari's MC, you're going to love this one.
