Violet Evergarden is a show set in a fictional WW1-level society rebuilding after a pretty brutal war with its neighbouring country. It follows an emotionally-dead former child soldier now learning to live in a world without having to rely on her combat abilities, and trying to process how to grieve for the loss of the only person who didn't treat her like a disposable weapon. It will do its damnedest to try and make you cry at least once an episode, and it's well worth a watch.

Boxman posted:Someone with more experience with the meta series, where does Iron Blooded Orphans fit into the quality scale? Because, weird random harem aside, I'm enjoying it, and I might be tempted to track down more Gundam. I haven't watched it since the old Cartoon Network days of Wing and G Gundam (and I recognize G is really different from everything else). IBO's one of the best Gundam series made, unnecessary harem poo poo aside (and they do try to walk that back a bit in season 2 incidentally). Your next stop for another good recent series should probably be Gundam 00. SEED is aggressively okay, but it's watchable.

Boxman posted:Okay, cool, I’ll continue revisiting my childhood with more Gundam then. One option to get through original Gundam is the Gundam: The Origin manga. It's a great read with gorgeous artwork, taking the original anime story and mostly telling it the same save for a few things tweaked in hindsight to make it flow better now that it's not being written on the fly.

For anyone else wanting more Rilakkuma, there's a new stop-motion series announced called "Rilakkuma's Theme Park Adventure"  . I honestly thought any chance of more of this in any form would be dead, considering stop-motion and social-distancing don't really mix.
