For me, Maoyuu Maou Yuusha sounds intriguing. Here's why:
Quote:
Spiritual Successor: To Spice And Wolf, down to the anime adaptation having mostly the same animation team and voice actors as the latter's adaptation, though to a more epic scale.
Shown Their Work: Many of the Demon Queen's technological innovations are based on real-life ones like crop rotation, to the point where the exact system discussed was identical to that which played a crucial role in the British Agricultural Revolution. When discussing techniques for growing potatoes in barren lands, she selects dead fish as fertilizer ("sacrifice", as she terms them), which has real-life truth due to their high nitrogen content which helps fertilization in sandy soil. The supporting characters also have very in-depth knowledge of politics, macroeconomics, military tactics, organized religion, immigration, social welfare and human rights.

Vividred Operation also sounds like something I might enjoy, even though all I know about it is from the description on the linked page above.
Edit: A new Minami-ke season makes me happy and hopeful that I'll see a US release of the rest of the series. It's probably a fool's hope, but I'll cling to it nonetheless.
