I cried in 5 out of 6 episodes of Takopi’s Original Sin. The me of 2020 wouldn’t believe it.
First time it happened was on completing Violet Evergarden the Movie on late 2021. Haven’t cried for more than 10 years prior to that, and it was the first I did so because I’m very happy for Violet.
What’s yours?

Probably CLANNAD, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was SAO S1, god forbid.
Stein’s Gate. I cried so much that I had to pause the episode.
The Pokemon movie when Ash turns to stone.
Saikano.
guy i know watch it cause i said it messed me up. Dude was locked in for 4 days afterwards… seriously I liked it but my God thst show breaks you down. Only show i watched where fan subber said stop here if you want happy ending. That was like episode 5.
I also cried at Saikano… my friend told me I would, and I’m like “nah I never cry”
I was wrong.
can’t remember the first time. but I can tell you when I cried the hardest.
To Your Eternity.
the whole first season was a cry fest.
when the boy died, it broke something inside me. he tried the best he could, and it was still not enough.
when the little girl was practically tortured and sacrificed. I had to pause the episode and bawl for like 30 minutes.
I cried so much that my wife asked me the next day why my eyes were all red and puffy.
it’s the only story that inflicted serious psychological damage to me. it took me a year to work through the damage, and even now I’m misty-eyed remembering everything.
I was going through some really rough times at work with an abusive boss and my emotional state was probably not very stable. watching human suffering just…broke something in me.
I cried while watching Yuri on Ice, when yuri perfectly executed his eros performance ;_; those were wild times
As a husband to a spouse with chronic medical issues and kids who share them, Clannad destroyed me.
First one I can recall was Trigun with the church scene. What beautiful guitar, too. One of my favorites in general.
First I can think of is the end of K-On! I watched the show for the first time in my senior year of college, so that feeling of having to go away from the friends I had made in my time there was pretty significant.
Some random others off the top of my head:
Frieren for kind of the same reason.
Violet Evergarden, especially the episode about the mom writing to her daughter.
Grave of the Fireflies.
Probably some others I’m forgetting.
Grave of the Fireflies
OMG, back home I watched this movie with some friends, 3 of us were crying while others were complaining trying to figure out how to overcome a hypothetical situation if we were there… Life works in weird ways; we’ve seen kind of similar situations in past 20 years and some of us have been volunteering/advocating while others just complain but in the end, it’s hard not to feel something with that.
Probably some others I’m forgetting.
I have to confess that I’ve cried more with anime than traditional movies.
I was watching Sora No Otoshimono and they were treating a character horribly. There was a scene where she was forced to kill her pet. I couldn’t believe it, I cried my eyes out.
Hard to remember them, Eureka 7, I think the whole ppl on the other side adopting him and really treating him like a son after he ran away, scenes with his grandpa would make me tear up (I was like 14/15 when I watched it so renton was very relatable, he was like me at 13, then by the end he grows and matured past me at the time after all the sht he went through) I really like how all the characters are written in that show, they actually have real emotions, change over time, feel real, hella diversity.
I feel like it had to be earlier tho, cant be the first time I got emotional over anime, bet it was digimon or the pokemon movie where pikachu seems dead or whatever
First time was probably Angel Beats, as it was one of my first shows.
Though I still rewatch and shed tears at the end of Madoka (2nd movie). Just the best piece of media I’ve ever enjoyed.
There are 8 anime that made me cry, in order from ~2019 to 2024:
- Sora yori mo Tooi Basho
- Hibike! Euphonium 2
- Mawaru Penguindrum
- March comes in like a lion
- Clannad: After Story
- March comes in like a lion 2nd Season
- Toradora!
- Spirited Away
Highly recommend all of these
“Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song”… even more after rewatching it, now even the intro song hits hard enough for tears.
