| Violet Evergarden. I have never cried at multiple episodes during a seasonal anime, usually it's at the end like Anohana or YLIA or Angel Beats. Episode 10 is the most relatable episode I have ever seen |
 |
| Welcome to the NHK. For how cynical and funny it is, its sad scenes hit really hard... |
| Your Lie in April I know it's kinda cliché but the mixture of the tension, character emotions as long with the music just blend so perfectly to make the ultimate saddest (and beautiful) scene I've ever watched. That scene alone was so perfect it made up for the slow and boring first couple of episodes. It's crazy i almost dropped the anime but i'm glad i didn't. As a Honorable mention, Chrono crusade, that end was just a good example of a well made sad End. |
 |
| Technically Elfen Lied because of how shitty Lucy's life was? *shrug* My takeaway were the ketchup fountains, so... Fuck, I dunno. Someone go though my list and tell me what the saddest thing I watched is. |
 |
| A Silent Voice since it hits pretty close to home. |
 I don't believe in the Devil. You should. He believes in you. |

| Probably Clannad. Episodes 16, 18 and 21 of After Story was some of the most depressing content I've ever seen. So much so that whenever I hear some of the OST, I can't help but tear up a little. How people can watch this series more than once, is beyond my comprehension. Violet Evergarden had a couple of episodes as well. Notably Episode 10. |
| If I had to pick only one it would be Clannad After Story. |
| Thread has existed multiple times. Here are all the answers: Clannad: AS Your Lie in April Plastic Memories Anohana Grave of the Fireflies A Silent Voice Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 Violet Evergarden Chrono Crusade Elfen Lied 5 Centimeters per Second Angel Beats Ok thread is over NEXT |

| I can only speak for anime I've seen. Made in Abyss is more horrific than sad (as it deals with a lot of fairly complex themes that are in contrast to it's lighthearted surface coating) so I couldn't say that one. Angel Beats had it's moments but given that I haven't watched any famously sad anime yet (yeah, I'm working my way round to your Clannad's, your Ano Hana's, your Silent Voice's, etc) I'd have to say the saddest anime for me so far is WataMote. There's something funny and endearing about the way this poor girls crippling social anxiety is presented though that keeps it from being classed as "properly sad", but some of the moments in there are very sad indeed, specially in the eyes of anyone who has any experience with loneliness. |

| definitely Toradroa. That shit was so fckn bad I burst into tears for wasting so many hours |
| Shiki, Basilisk, Shinsekai Yori, School Live, 5 Centimeters Per Second. |
| Shoot first, think never. |
| Idk the saddeest one, I cried on a lot of titles, here it is, maybe some are missed, can't remember more: Angel Beats! Clannad (Fuuko Arc) Clannad After Story Anohana (even I cried for its ending theme lol) Irodzuku sekai no ashita kara Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Elfen Lied Natsume Yuujinchou Grisaia no Kajitsu Onimonogatari Hai to Gensou no Grimgar Occultic;Nine (Not cried a lot but really sad) Steins;Gate Steins;Gate 0 Steins;Gate movie Violet Evergarden episode 10 Nisekoi Season 2 episode 10 Hotarubi no Mori he Plastic memories No Game No Life 0 Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai Fruits Basket Season1 (not cried but it has sad story) |
| Grave of the Fireflies is the one I could never bring myself to rewatch. I can stand Clannad, AnoHana and all the rest, because there's always some kind of relief, but Siscon Convinces Loli Imouto to Run Away with Him is just too much for me. |
 |
| Clannad has made me regret ever watching it <3 Grave of the fireflies too... Pretty much all the animes people have mentioned already |

| The typical "sad" anime people usually talk about are depressing but they never really made me cry. The ending of assassination classroom made me sob like a baby though |
    ! daily reminder to try not to take it all so seriously ! |
| Easily Clannad After story, made me stop watching for 2 weeks |
 |
| Berserk is so sad how they butchered the source material. |
 |
| Anime I cried the most for were violet evergarden and anohana |
| You jump to the right and you shake that hand You jump to the left and you shake that hand Meet new friends Tie that yarn And that's how you do the Scarn Woo |
| berserk was going to be my initial answer =( I haven't watched a lot of sad anime so I guess the saddest I've seen is sorayori (the e-mail scene in one of the last episodes) and HxH (king and snotface for example) |
 |
| Gintama, specifically the last two arcs of season 4 fucking killed me. Heart-crushing shit, I tell ya. |
| I am also looking forward to this forum till niow i felt some sad feeling through some Anime (with Exception) but i never cried not even on Clannad After Story i Mean why the hell does it make you cry??? |

KamijouToumaIB said: If I had to pick only one it would be Clannad After Story. This is the correct answer. Next question. Seriously though. It has to be Clannad. Everyone knows at this point that Clannad is THE sad anime that makes almost everyone cry. I want to mention one more that is a solid runner-up for me at least and that's Violet Evergarden. I'm rewatching right now and it had me tearing up in a few eps, but there's one in particular that comes close to THAT Clannad episode. Big recommend, but it's quite slow. Not for ADD-afflicted. |

| Grave of the Fireflies=heartbreaking |

| only anime theat made me cry was assassaniation classroom, one piece berserk 2016(you know why), and a few others |

| Saddest anime? I am not sure... but the saddest moment I've seen recently was the ending of one of the Re:Zero episodes, the snowy background, weird music, head chopped off etc. Not sure which episode was it, but I almost cried. Not because of what happened in the anime, but the atmosphere was killing me. |

| Maybe Welcome to the NHK, it's very depressing. |
 |
| Clannad After Story and Grave of the Fireflies. |
 |
| In my opinion I think Angel Beats or Violet Evergarden |
 |
| Clannad After story and Angel Beats gave me long lasting depression. |

| I tried watching Clannad After Story again I got to episode 16 and had to quit. I couldn't even start the episode before breaking down. |
| I'd say assasination classroom, not depressing sad that build up with story progresses. it just hit me in one scene, one hit. But that scene really made me cry as if there was no tomorrow |
| still having great time with my stuff |
| All these sad Anime didn’t get me crying at all. I’d say the only Anime that got me balling was FMA during Hughes’ funeral. It was how Elicia was crying out for him that got me. I even teared up while reading that scene in the Manga. Damn it... |
| I'm probably missing something, but I'd say 5 Centimeters per Second, Ride Your Wave, A Silent Voice, Your Lie in April. Definitely not anything made by Jun Maeda (e.g. Clannad, Angel Beats, Little Busters, etc.), they're all cheesy as hell. |

| A Silent Voice really made me cry because I struggled with bullying as a kid and suicidal thoughts. I guess I related to the girl even though I am not deaf. The male character too was interesting...seeing him go from a bully to a friend. It isn't often that we hear stories about bullies being redeemed. |
| Uhhhh probably Kimi no Suizo wo Tabetai, Your Lie in April, or Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms |
