'Belle' is an anime that's as stunning as it is emotional and thoughtful

Suzu is a high school student who, following a family tragedy, typically spends her days isolated and listless. One day, she enters “U,” a virtual world of 5 billion members on the Internet. There, users live through an Avatar which is automatically generated based on their biometric information. Suzu is stunned that her Avatar is a beautiful young woman called Belle.

Belle encounters another user in “U” known as Beast, who though volatile, Suzu is convinced is more than meets the eye.
