Title: Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi | Sunday Without God
Media: Anime; it's twelve episodes with one bonus episode, and the English-language Blu-ray release is readily available. It used to stream on HiDive, but right now it looks like it's unavailable.
Summary: According to legend, God abandoned the world fifteen years prior, and thus people are no longer able to give birth and cannot find rest after death unless buried by a mythical "gravekeeper." The protagonist, twelve-year-old Ai, is one such gravekeeper for her tiny, isolated village. After tragedy strikes her village, she resolves to set out on a journey to save the world God has abandoned, and along the way she makes new friends and discovers how humanity has adapted to this slowly dying world.
Despite the bleak premise, it's actually a rather hopeful series, and I loved Ai's journey and her relationships with her companions, and I also really love the canon's setting, as it's both beautiful and haunting.
