FANDOM NAME: Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi | Sunday Without God
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: According to legend, God abandoned the world fifteen years prior, and thus people are no longer able to give birth and cannot find rest after death unless buried by a mythical "gravekeeper." The protagonist, twelve-year-old Ai, is one such gravekeeper for her tiny, isolated village. After tragedy strikes her village, she resolves to set out on a journey to save the world God has abandoned, and along the way she makes new friends and discovers how humanity has adapted to this slowly dying world. Despite the bleak premise, it's actually a rather hopeful series, and I loved Ai's journey and the relationships between her and her companions, and I also really love the canon's setting, as it's both beautiful and haunting.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?Crunchyroll! It's twelve episodes with a bonus episode on the BD/DVD set. If you have a subscription, the dub and bonus episode can also be watched on HiDive. The series is very beautiful, and you can see that beauty for yourself in the opening!
