It's about a young girl who learns how to communicate with the most powerful beasts in the world, and ends up getting pulled into a civil war by people who want to take advantage of her relationship with the beasts. It's a very emotional anime with a lot of drama, but surprisingly there's no romance at all.
Fun Fact: I stumbled onto the anime while searching for an episode of Bleach when I clicked some random link on the page accidentally, but it's my all time favorite anime now!
I wasn't familiar with this title at all, but after looking into more details about it, it seems to have gotten nice reception and was written by the same dude who did Seirei no Moribito. I've heard good things about Seirei no Moribito as well as remembered that it's on the /a/ recommendation chart, so this might fact might help some people.
Seconding:
Princess Tutu
Spice and Wolf
Grave of the Fireflies
Adding:
Ghost in the Shell (1995); same tags as Stand Alone Complex, but under the "Movies" category.
