Shigofumi: Letters from the Departed (2008)
[12 episodes]
A mysterious girl by the name of Fumika is a mail carrier of sorts who delivers "after-death letters" (shigofumis) to the living. When you die, you are allowed to write one--and only one--shigofumi to someone of your choosing in the living world. Fumika, who is quiet and serious, is accompanied by her loud talking staff, Kanaka, and together they deliver the shigofumis. The anime is told in a set of arcs--each arc consisting of a new living person's story, and the reason why they are recieving their shigofumi. Fumika discovers new things about her past and just who she truly is along the way as she is forced to resurface painful old memories. Where did she come from, and are shigofumis all that they seem?
*Shigofumi is rather dark, so if you're looking for something happy-go-lucky, this probably isn't for you. ^_^;
