Long absence looking to come back
Some of my favorites have been Your Lie in April, Orange, One Week Friends, Your Name, A Silent Voice, and Anohana.
Have a bunch of unresolved trauma and would love a new anime to bring that up to the surface if you have any.

* **Why watch:** This is perhaps the most powerful choice for processing unresolved trauma. It follows a former child soldier learning to understand human emotions and grief by writing letters for others. Every episode acts as a bridge to suppressed feelings, much like *Your Lie in April*.
* **To Your Eternity** (My Rating: 8)
* **Why watch:** A profound philosophical drama about an immortal being learning what it means to be human through the pain of loss. Each encounter the protagonist has ends in a separation that forces the viewer to process themes of mortality and moving on.
* **Erased** (My Rating: 8)
* **Why watch:** A psychological thriller that deals directly with childhood trauma and the desperate wish to fix the past. It is highly emotional and focuses on the deep bond formed when trying to protect those who are vulnerable.
* **Welcome to the N.H.K.** (My Rating: 9)
* **Why watch:** A raw and sometimes uncomfortable look at social isolation, anxiety, and the fear of the future. If your trauma is connected to a sense of being "broken" or stuck in life, this will resonate deeply.
* **Vinland Saga Season 2** (My Rating: 10)
* **Why watch:** While the first season is an action epic (9\\10), the second season is a masterpiece about PTSD, atonement, and finding a reason to live after a life defined by violence and hate.
I Want to Eat Your Pancreas
The Summer Hikaru Died (if you don’t mind a little horror)
