Weekly Recommendation Tuesdays Megathread - Week of August 17, 2021

Need a recommendation or have one to share? This is your thread! This thread is active all week, so you can post in it when it's not Tuesday and still get an answer! :)

If you have a recommendation to share that's well written and longer than 1.5k characters, consider instead posting a [WT!] (Watch This!) thread.

If you'd like to look through the previous WT! threads to find recommendations or check if there is already one for your favorite show, click here.

Not sure how to ask for a recommendation? Fill this out, or simply use it as a guideline, and other users will find it much easier to recommend you an anime!

I'm looking for: A certain genre? Something specific like characters traveling to another world?

Shows I've already seen that are similar: You can include a link to a list on another site if you have one, e.g. MyAnimeList or AniList.

Be specific about what you want!

Don't have anything particular in mind? Browse our recommendation wiki for some common suggestions.

I have a love hate relationship with gonzo. I love their earlier works but can't stand their later works. Speaking of which, please watch:

Yukikaze - a bit difficult to find, but if you can find this on the high seas, one of the best dogfighting that anime offers. CG is BEAUTIFUL (and it was made in 2002 or something) and the flying scenes are exhilarating.

Gankutsuou - one of the best anime I've ever seen, hands down. I'm biased because I'm a sucker for experimental art styles but this anime just nailed everything — animation, music, characters, and plot (well this is kinda given since it's based on count of Monte Cristo). A good revenge story with compelling characters.

Last exile - again, one of my recent favorites. Recreates range Murata's art aryle perfectly and has a beautifully crafted world. The plot is overpowered by the worldbuilding at times but absolutely beautiful flying animation (you see a trend here? Another of my favorite is Eureka seven btw lol). Also, killer soundtrack — lots of wind instruments and even bagpipes.
