Hello there.

I would like to know if any of you could come up with a anime of my likes.

They have to be sort of similar to
True tears, EF tales of memories, Air and saikano.
These are nice examples of animes that I like.
I love to cry and get dragged into a typical school romance drama anime.
I do not care ratings. So if its at the 6 category feel free to post them.

If you think you have watched a really sad anime which has lots of drama and romance,
then I would be glad to hear them from you.

Here is a video to show you what sad is in my opinion:

PS: I have watched:
- True tears ( still my favorite!)
- EF tales of memories
- saikano
-Air


Cheers!

I think Sola and Angel Beats fit your preferences pretty well

If you watched Air and liked it, you should try:

-Clannad, Clannad After Story(it's sequel) and Kanon(2006)
-I recommend especially the first two :P

Wow, I like you! :D Our taste seems to be very similar :D

You might want to try these(all movies):
5 cm per second
The place promised in our early days
Voices of a distant star
Spirited away
Howl's moving castle

Sadly, I don't have much more that is sad and beautiful like the ones you've already seen (for I'm currently looking for the same thing as you are, so I'll look at this thread every now and then :P). You should try Clannad though, I haven't watched it myself yet but it seems to be amazing, a lot of people have recommended it to me.

Besides that, there are some romances that you might like that don't really have the 'sad' part:

- Itazura na Kiss
- Kaichou wa Maid-sama
- Special A
- Ouran high school host club

Hope this helps! :D

(If you like shounen-ai, then you should watch Fuyu no Semi too. It's beautifull and sad. I cried a lot :$)

Victorian Romance Emma. Lots of drama and sad parts
Romeo x Juliet- Sad. And you may think you know the ending, but you don't.
Millenium Actress- Depressing but beautiful
Princess Tutu- starts out as your typical magical girl. Then it gets good. And then it ends up very bittersweet, with some tragedy thrown in.

yes ^^ (actualy pre-sequel haha... just watch it if u loved memories this is better/as good/same haha)
think there's some shows you'd like but always looking at everybody's list and try not to recomend stuff they allready seen is to much work haha so i tagged my list for easy reference.

if u liked AIR, clannad defenetly is your thing (and kanon 2006/angel beats! wich are key anime) and i swear if u don't cry in after story i'll come down there and smack you till you cry hahahahaha :D

Our tastes are pretty similar! I would be the one to recommend School Days, hear me out, because it has a deep plot
. You will want to watch it because it focuses on the drama part of the romance,
.





Sorry for the wall of text I typed up, I am just a die-hard for good romance as well and I relate to you in that manner. I put the recommendations in spoilers because of its lengthy descriptions.

im 100% not a manga fan (im more of a "cinematic buff" in that i need visuals...audio..vocals to really be immersed in material)

BUT

after watching ichigo 100% (and being somewhat disappointed) i was directed to its manga..

im about 20 chapters in, and hands down will admit that it is amazing. its exactly what u are looking for with ur genre's and its very well done... one of the best aspects is that at some point in your life, u can relate to the protagonist very well in what he thinks when in certain situations with girls.

highly recommend you check it out...something u can read while ur bored :P

Seconding Angel Beats!, 5 Centimeters per Second and Romeo x Juliet.

Hanasaku Iroha is actually a newly airing series this season that looks like it could be something you may be into, it's got great potential and the same studio that brought True Tears.

Winter Sonata is excellent. It starts out with a high school romance but the most of the story is about young career adults. It moves slowly but beautifully. Art is awesome. Spoken language is Korean.
