That being said...
Recently, I stumbled across (and by stumble, I mean I finally caved after Netflix had suggested it to me for the 6,000th time) Violet Evergarden on Netflix, aaaaaaaaaaand promptly binged the absolute hell out of it all the way through in one sitting, leaking more than a few very manly tears in the process in some of the later episodes. It's on the side of being a slower burn anime, but it's truly one of the most beautiful and finely crafted stories I've ever had the pleasure of watching in recent memory across any medium of entertainment. Absolutely a 9.5/10 in my own opinion. If you are a fan of quality, you need to watch this anime.
Basic Synopsis:
The Great War finally came to an end after four long years of conflict; fractured in two, the continent of Telesis slowly began to flourish once again. Caught up in the bloodshed was Violet Evergarden, a young girl raised for the sole purpose of decimating enemy lines. Hospitalized and maimed in a bloody skirmish during the War's final leg, she was left with only words from the person she held dearest, but with no understanding of their meaning. Recovering from her wounds, Violet starts a new life working at CH Postal Services after a falling out with her new intended guardian family. There, she witnesses by pure chance the work of an "Auto Memory Doll," amanuenses that transcribe people's thoughts and feelings into words on paper. Moved by the notion, Violet begins work as an Auto Memory Doll, a trade that will take her on an adventure, one that will reshape the lives of her clients and hopefully lead to self-discovery.
Glass Reflections just so happened to make a pretty excellent review of this show just recently if you want to know what's up in detail.
Also, the OST is spectacular. It's my new go-to for cooking music.
