If you liked Kemono no Souja Erin add

...then you might like Akatsuki no Yona add

In ancient lands of kings and queens, magic, and tremendous beasts, two young girls - the eponymous heroines, Yona and Erin - must come to terms with the tragedies that defined their youth as they explore their world and slowly discover its unspoken beauty... a beauty they vow to protect, whatever the cost. Whereas Akatsuki no Yona is a quirkier, faster, and action-oriented adventure following an exiled, once-ignorant princess and her friends, Kemono no Souja Erin is a more picturesque tale that emphasizes raw, beautiful storytelling, moral dilemmas, and exploration as it depicts the coming of age of the daughter of a so-called "beastinarian." Naturally, as KnSE is twice the expected length of AnY at 50 episodes, it's both stronger and more conclusive in nearly all aspects of storytelling: romance, character development, the works. That's just the way it is. KnSE's length permits it to depict the entirety of Erin's youth, from childhood to adulthood (a timespan of roughly a decade). Does that mean it's a better show? No. I'm sure some would prefer Yona for it's shorter length and vice versa. It all boils down to personal preference. Both are great, fun shows with exciting worlds to explore. If you have the time, check them out!
