My favorite anime of the season isn’t Frieren or Jujutsu Kaisen, it's this one-of-a-kind masterpiece about quiet domesticity

With anime on the rise globally, it's heartening to see how strong this winter season is turning out to be. New shows like Sentenced To Be A Hero and SHIBOYUGI: Playing Death Games To Put Food On The Table have lots of potential, while returning heavy hitters such as Jujutsu Kaisen season 3 and Frieren season 2 have cemented themselves as modern-day classics.

Yet the strongest series, the one that might stay with you the longest, isn't concerned with displays of might or physical prowess. Any magic to be found here is strictly of an emotional kind. And while death does play a key role throughout, there's no violence to speak of.
