What is the evidence for Anglicanism

Hi, looking into different denominations right now and it seems Anglicanism does have a good case. I was wondering what gives Anglicanism an edge over other denominations like Lutheran, Catholicism, orthodoxy, etc.

Historical speaking many say church history and the early church fathers back up Catholicism and orthodoxy and I was wondering if that is true or not?

Also what sets Anglicanism apart from Lutherans as it seems they are very similar?

Edit: Thank you for your responses guys

Currently looking into different Denominations and was wondering the arguments for Protestantism.

Some trouble I have is things like apolistic succession and historical evidence for Protestantism. Also, when do Protestants think the church went wrong, and what about the changes made between the splitting off of the original church? Also, having fewer sacraments and following less strict guidelines.

Some problems I have with catholic/Orthodox belief: Catholicism seems very legalistic, and the historical abuse of authority in the church. Also, they seem a little puritan. Also, it seems like a lot of catholics use John 21:25to make things up.

I am willing to hear arguments for both sides

I’m just now leaning about denominations and I think Lutheran Mae’s a lot of sense, A couple things about Catholicism makes sense too though but so don’t.

The thing I think is if the early church fathers were considered catholic/orthodox why are there different denominations. Also most exorcisms are handled by orthodox/catholic. Also why did Luther rearrange the Bible and who gave him authority to do so. Also why do Lutherans have a lot less sacraments

I’m still learning about church history so any info would be helpful
