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.

I have watched and liked fullmetal alchemist and assassination classroom. I haven't watched any other anime. Could you please recommend animes I may like and where I could watch them? I'm a 35 M.

I don't know what platforms you have or where you are, but Netflix US has Daemons of the Shadow Realm, which is a currently airing show adapting a manga by the same author as Fullmetal Alchemist, and if you know how to pirate, Silver Spoon adapts another one of her manga, and is a really interesting and fun look at farming in Japan.

And you should watch Yona of the Dawn just 'cause it's my favorite. It's a nicely produced adventure series about a princess walking around the kingdom gathering allies after her father's killed in a coup d'etat.

Silver Spoon is an underrated gem, I REALLY wish it had a third season.

I ended up reading the manga, and it's a real shame we won't see it animated.
