I've got two anime series to rec right now, and I'll be back with more once I figure out the rest of my noms.
First, Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi | Sunday Without God:
Ai is a young gravekeeper who lives in a world where no one can give birth any longer or truly die, and the only way the walking dead can find rest is to be buried by a gravekeeper, as according to legend, God abandoned the world fifteen years prior. Ai lives peacefully in her little secluded village, but when she encounters a gunslinger in black, her whole world is turned upside down. She sets out on a journey to save the world, and as she meets new friends along the way, she learns more of the miracles that have reshaped the world, for better and worse.
Being focused on travel and family and other relationships, there's plenty of room for worldbuilding and exploring the bonds between Ai and her traveling companions. The series can get violent and bittersweet, but overall it's a hopeful series and Ai never loses her idealism and sense of wonder. The anime is twelve episodes and can be watched on Crunchyroll. Watch the opening here!
Second, Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou | Day Break Illusion:
This series follows magical girls with powers inspired by the Major Arcana. Akari is the wielder of the Sun card, and at first she's a normal, cheerful girl with a knack for fortune telling. Her powers awaken when her cousin Fuyuna is possessed by a monster known as Daemonia, and sadly, Fuyuna doesn't survive. This is the awful truth of Elemental Tarot Users - when a Daemonia is killed, their human host also dies. Akari also has an unusual ability - she can hear the voices of the Daemonia before they die. She wants to find a way to save the Daemonia, but she also comes to accept her destiny as both savior and executioner.
The series is full of bloody action, femslashy subtext, and creepy villains and monsters, and the Daemonia battles and bonds between the Elemental Tarot Users have plenty of potential for longer fic. The anime is thirteen episodes and can be watched on Crunchyroll. Watch the trailer here!
