I used to think 'slice of life' anime was boring, but a friend's recommendation changed my mind

Three years ago, a buddy in my college dorm insisted I watch 'A Place Further Than the Universe'. I finally gave it a shot last week, and the scene where the girls first see Antarctica actually made me cry. Anyone have other shows that hit you with a feeling you weren't expecting?

Crying over cartoon penguins seems a bit much. It's a nice show, sure, but it's still just drawings of high school girls on a boat. That Violet Evergarden one gets recommended a lot too, but it's mostly about a robot lady typing. The emotional payoff feels kind of forced, like the show is trying really hard to make you feel a specific way.

Honestly, try watching 'Violet Evergarden' for the letters.
