If you want animation that is not just for kids, Yosuga no Sora is available in the US on Crunchyroll right now. A single, tightly-focused season means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. The visual style is immediately recognisable, but the writing is what keeps you watching. Available now on Crunchyroll — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Yosuga no Sora arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Yosuga no Sora treats animation as a medium, not a limitation. Kasugano Haruka and his sister Sora have lost both their parents in an accident, and with them all their support. They decide to move out of the city to the rural town where they once spent summers with their late grandfather. At first everything seems familiar and peaceful, but changes come as Haruka starts to remember things from his youth. Every line from Hiro Shimono and Hiroko Taguchi lands with more craft than you'd expect. It was aired in 2010. Yosuga no Sora uses the freedom of animation to tell stories live-action could not attempt. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Animation fans will appreciate the craft, but Yosuga no Sora works for viewers who do not typically seek out animation too. If you have already watched The Fruit of Grisaia, Yosuga no Sora is a natural next step. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. The writing operates at a level the format's reputation does not fully prepare you for. Adult animation that actually works for adults.

Yosuga no Sora wrapped up in 2010 — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
