| There are examples of great characters or character development in every genre of anime, so I'm sure not everyone here has the same tastes. But I can enjoy almost any anime as long as no characters are unlikeable and one character is exceptional. So I'm sure recommendations from a club revolving around great characters would be useful. I'll start! According to MAL, Kemono no Souja Erin is just outside the top 100 in ratings with a score of 8.48, but over a thousand shows are more popular than it. The fact that it's a bit longer than average at fifty episodes might play a part in this, which is a shame, because it's truly a wonderful story. To avoid any spoilers, I'll just say that it follows the main character, an intelligent and curious girl named Erin, from a young age to adulthood and centers around her challenges as an animal lover in a world that subjugates magical beasts for use in war. Maybe with your help we can get it into the top 100 in rating and top 1,000 in popularity. :3 And let me know what you think of it if you watch it! |

| I love hidden gems. I'll probably have time to start Kemono no Souja Erin next week, and I'll post some thoughts on it here. Thanks for sharing it with us. |
| Great to hear it skipped to the front of the queue! I would recommend taking it slowly though, because it is fifty episodes long and has, truth be told, a ridiculous amount of flashbacks. It's an interesting piece of work because it has a very real goal and resolution, but feels quite a bit like a slice-of-life too. Hopefully that doesn't turn anyone off - I enjoy SoL's. |

| Looks intriguing. I love it when a story follows a character from childhood to adulthood. 99% of the time it pays off well in the characterization aspect. There is one exception though...Shinsekai Yori. Ugh. I enjoy all sorts of genres but SoL is definitely one of my favorites. I'm going on vacation for two weeks soon so I'll start it when I get back. Looking forward to it, thanks for the recommendation! |
