To live is to feel, Violet.
This series is no doubt one of the most emotional anime series. The visuals are stunning like every anime that Kyoto Animation made. Music is somber and touching, it hits right at home. Also, the characters are all well-written and relatable and can incite genuine emotion with their short screen time. The slow pacing of the story helped emphasized the character development of Violet.
