I really tried to feel the urge to cry, but there was no point where I could really want to like Clannad. I did tear up a little at the end because that's where the VAs began to go berserk with emotion, but I feel like the theme somewhat flew by me. A major factor to probably why I didn't really feel that much for Menma, is I don't know how she died at all and why did everyone feel guilty for her death? Either I'm just some fucking asshole who is so shoved up Key's ass to feel for anything else, or there is something that I just missed.

What was the point of this anime that made people shed tears so much?

Clannad made you cry?
Yeah, you're an asshole.

Lol no.

It just means you're your own person who feels differently to the themes other people cried to.

Don't make a fuss about it.

You're not an asshole for not crying. I don't know why that would ever make you feel like one.

I didn't cry either but do you clearly didn't pay attention to the show if you are asking those questions.

No I mean I feel like I seriously missed something here. Why did everyone else cry at this anime but I didn't? I followed it all the way too.

Wasn't there an anime centered entirely about someone who "took their tears away"?

Ohh yeah True Tears.

Go check that out OP if you haven't already.

Didn't you JUST make a rec thread for depressing anime like not even 3 hours ago? Assuming that's what made you decide to watch it, that's a pretty quick snap judgement.

It's 11 episodes. Just running through it with some cereal while tabbing between this forum.


If you're just running through and half-paying-attention to a DRAMA then yes, you won't get much emotion out of it because you're not seriously viewing it.


Anohana is a stupid forced melodrama like Clannad but at least it wasn't cliche, anyone stupid sensitive enough to cry at Clannad would be crying at Anohana. Stop making threads about the same shit..

A story about a dead fictional character didn't make me cry. Am I an asshole?

It doesn't make you an asshole. You just react to things differently than others. That's all.

You're definitely something because you've made 3 different threads about this show not meeting your expectations. Please stop making more and more threads about it and keep it to one.

Well if that's the case. Then you're just seeking attention on the subject but it doesn't make you a asshole.

Hm, why is this thread here anyways? But basically, I rewatched it again the next day because why not, and this time, I didn't multitask and it really, really, got to me.

Aw... You probably won't, but I'd recommend you rewatch it when you've forgot a bit of the content! I see that there's a lot of stuff you've missed in the anime, very important stuff that is. You've missed many of the key moments and you should really go watch it again, since it's such an good anime! Good luck.

I didn't cry once in this series. I was close to at one point but the melodrama was just too over the top. It's a good sad show, dont get me wrong, but it's not the definitive tear-jerker people make it out to be.

Its the exact opposite for me....
I watched all the saddest and most tragic animes like clannad, ange beats, plastic memories and elfen lied and never cried.
I had tears dropping while i watched anohana ..... For the first time it happened, the secret base music made me shed tears while all the stuff was happening and i was reading the music meaning i couldnt stop the tearing.
The weird thing i laughed my ass while watching angel beats ending.
Clannad made me sad but i didnt tear because clannad was the perfection of what real life can be and how harsh it will become, while we all know i shouldve cried like a bitch at clannad, i didnt. But i think the music only touched me here(anohana).

Considering it's heavy on the melodrama, sometimes it can seem more stupid than tear-jerking. So yeah, it's not wrong.

honestly, this anime is so shitty I can't even understand why people watch this. it was boring as hell in the beginning, and i lost complete focus within 15 minutes of this straight garbage. whoever made this should just drink bleach lol. everyone who has watched this anime is now dumber for having watched it. I give this 0/10, and may God have mercy on the creators. pce

(no, i dont care for the ending either)

Fuck no. AnoHana wasn't enough to make me cry either but I did kinda have tears, that didn't fall. Not a lot has made me cry hard. The hardest is still Clannad After Story. I can probably count about 7 more or less but I can't remember what animes or what scenes.

I didn't cry either. I actually watched this with the expectation that I WOULD cry. Maybe that's why? I still think it's really good though.

I watched My Lie In April, Clannad and Angel Beats. These 3 made me cry. I think I'm abnormal.
