Sora yori mo Tooi Basho - As per Ryll
Mahoutsukai no Yome - As per Ryll
Kokkoku - This last one's hard, it's really a close tie between Kokkoku and Koi wa Ameagari. Kokkoku wins by being rather unique in its setting and actually finishing the story. Stylistically I really liked Koi wa Ameagari, but its less-than-conclusive way of ending just doesn't sit well. Art was amazing however.

Violet Evergarden as a case of being more pretty than substance, despite being a rather good watch. Letter Bee still did it better IMO.
