If you liked Violet Evergarden add

...then you might like Fruits Basket: The Final add

Both series share themes of overcoming grief & trauma, finding/forging your own identity, developing kindness and empathy for others & recognizing their own unique identities & struggles. Although at times sad, Furuba and VE are also uplifting, acknowledging in equal parts the sadness of goodbyes as well as the hope of new beginnings. Furuba has more classic shoujo elements and a larger consistent cast whose development is shown over time, whereas Violet Evergarden focuses more on Violet's growth and side characters whose arcs are largely contained in single episodes.
