I thought I'd recommend old gems: World Masterpiece Theater

I'm happy to see people are still watching these beautiful series, and even more, we got new people discovering them. These works are similar to Ghibli. Quiet. Beautiful. Family oriented.

No fanservice. No 'hook' from the first episode. It's not begging for your attention. It's something you would sit and watch with your children. Beautiful messages, showing there is life after tragedies and sadness. Historical accuracy and adaptions put together with the passion of Japanese animators and voice actors. Simple yet beautiful artwork too.

My top three of WMT are the following:

Remy Nobody's Girl ( I teared up on every single episode of this one )
Romeo Aoi No Sora ( A beautiful balance of tragedy and found family )
Trapp Family Story ( I'm watching this one now... stunningly heart warming and beautiful )

Hell yeah, Romeo's Blue Skies mentioned – I fucking loved that anime so soooo much. I look forward to watching many more of the WMT but it's good to have suggestions for where to start. I was thinking of the classics like Heidi and Anne of Green Gables but maybe I'll start with one of the other two you mentioned.

hey mate!!! Oh yes Romeo is a sacred anime for me—it's more than just a favorite anime.

I'm glad I gave you suggestions! I plan to watch Heidi after I finish my re-watch of Trapp Family Story ( which I'm looooving and I'm still half way ).

I don't think you will go wrong with Heidi which is highly praised, Remy or Trapp family story.

Enjoy all of them!!! Happy to connect with another Romeo's Blue Skies lover!

I wrote this [WT](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/ywe2lp/im_shocked_at_how_good_yet_underwatched_romeos/) gushing about it so I can relate.

I haven't gotten to watching more WMT as I had planned to at that time but you've definitely motivated me to get back to it!

I wish we could get more of these nowadays. We need more quiet reflective works. I encourage to do so and I will never get tired of recommending WMT. I believe the anime community need to know it and discover it.
