Our take on Violet Evergarden

This exquisitely animated series follows a former child soldier who, scarred and emotionless after the war, takes work writing letters for others and slowly learns to understand the feelings she puts into words. Beautiful, gentle and quietly devastating, it's a meditation on grief and learning to feel. If its tender melancholy moved you, seek out heartfelt anime about emotion, healing and the words we struggle to say.
