For those looking to start feasting their eyes upon the last of the summer season of anime, Sunday without God is definitely one worth your time. God had abandoned the world on Sunday 15 years ago and now nobody in this world can die, or even for that matter have children. But God provided mankind with Grave keepers in the last moments of watching over the world. Grave keepers are special being who are able to burying those who are amongst the deceased and have yet to pass on, providing them with the closest thing to passing on in this world.
15 years later we meet our main character Ai, a little girl who is the Grave keeper of a little village where she grew up. So when the villagers' time comes her responsibility will be to bury the entire village, however that time will come much sooner than she expected. One day a boy arrives in the village calling himself Hampnie Hambart – the Man-eating Toy, and slaughters her entire village. But if that wasn't enough she believes that this boy is the father she never saw.
After burying the village Ai sets out to save the world, by burying the deceased and allowing them to pass on. Along the way she meets a living male who has lost his family, another Grave keeper who has something different about her, and even some other kids around Ai's age. Through this journey they visit many mysterious and strange places such as a city that holds a deep dark secret.
The story is gripping and consists of arcs that spread across 2-3 episodes, each one hooking you in to watch the next.
The series is currently ongoing and is available on Crunchyroll:
