6. Yofukashi no Uta
(Call of the Night) (LIDEN FILMS)
Synopsis
Kou Yamori seems like a typical middle school student on the surface. Relatively good at studies and amiable with his classmates, he puts a lot of effort into maintaining this facade.

When taking walks alone at night, he feels marginally better, though he is aware that his inability to sleep should be considered a serious problem.
5. Made In Abyss Season 2
Because of its darker tone, the first season of the series surprised audiences. Despite having one of the loveliest character designs in the anime world, the plot has a darker tone.
