Looking for story heavy. Ala LOTR and WoT

I have recently finished Bleach, Dan Da Dan, Tengoku Daimakyo and Suicide Squad Isekai.

Now I am NOT a fan of Isekai. Can't stand it. But I did like the DC and anime crossover. Dan Da Dan reminded me of Fooly Cooly back in the 00s. Tengoku felt like TLOU.

But I want story heavy anime! Yes I've watched and adored The Record of Lodoss War. I prefer story and substance over Ecchi and the other usual anime tropes.

Any ideas? I have Hulu and Max. Can't afford Crunchyroll. The wife uses Disney Plus and Hulu too much to switch over. Thanks in advance!
