Below are netizens' comments on the anime that made them cry a lot:
– CLANNAD and Angel Beats!. I can't listen to CLANNAD's ending theme without crying, and neither can Angel Beats! It is truly a tragedy of lives ending so quickly.
– Violet Evergarden, no doubt about it. I sobbed like a baby during every episode.
– CLANNAD After Story is the saddest story I've ever seen in my life. Also, Spice And Wolf also made me cry a lot in the past.
– A Silent Voice is very good and I just watched it again and still feel emotionally damaged.
– Surprised that no one mentioned Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms. The story is very family focused and that always attracts me.
– I still have to hold back tears every time I listen to the song of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
– I cried for three hours while watching the final episodes of Assassination Classroom. It's probably one of my favorite movies.
– To Your Eternity, especially the first season. STEINS;GATE, Pandora Hearts, Gintama
– The Fruits Basket remake is so good.
– Those are Haibane Renmei, Clannad After Story, Wolf Children, Kotaro Lives Alone, Girls Last Tour.
– I'm surprised at the lack of Full Metal Alchemist.
– Code Geass, I didn't expect the ending to affect me so much, I cried more than any anime I've ever seen.
– Personally, I have never cried while watching Your Lie In April or A Silent Voice, but Weathering With You made me cry.
