| Mental health, perhaps. Depends on the person and quantity of these types of anime watched. Of course, some stronger people probably won't be affected at all (me :D). |

| Nah not really, School Days did make me physically angry, though so that's about it. A few deaths have really screwed me up, but nothing more than a show leaving me with a void feeling. |
What a beautiful Duwang |
| I can see that they do you alot and doctor says take moderation. I think you're just easy being emotional. Personally I didn't cry when I finished watching Clannad. It moved my heart though. |
 |
| I've been emotionally affected by tons of anime. However, I don't think I've ever consumed a piece of media that actually affected my health or mental state. It seems to be a rather inconceivable effect to me. Not that that means it can't happen to you or anyone else. Of course it can. All that said, if watching these shows is negatively affecting your health then you should probably either take a break or watch something with a totally different feel. You should probably also go see a doctor or therapist. |
| sad anime improves health making you more resistent to sadness |
 |
| They usually make me cry, that's good for releasing tension and reduces the build up stress, thus they must be good for my health. |

| If you're inadvertently implying that because anime can elicit specific emotions that it means it COULD be harmful to someone, and that's a bad thing, the problem is the person not the anime. Especially if you're so easily swayed in your mental health. |
 I don't believe in the Devil. You should. He believes in you. |
| No! Sadness in Animes are just weird. {Like that mother scene in Attack on Titan.} |

| I already have clinical depression (among other things), so Your Lie In April, Serial Experiments: Lain, White Album 2, etc. don't do wonders for my mental health. |
 |
| I don't think that it's bad for physical health but for some people it might be bad for their mental health. I like to break my heart with Anime like your lie in april/clannad/plastic memories and stuff like that, i always end up crying but i like it. |
| it affects my emotions certainly in a way it negatively impacts my mental health so yes but its really subtle |

| yes. undirectly. Lately, i always try to avoid sad anime and drama, because i know that i could get a lonely or unsatisfied feeling which is quite annoying. How? When i got those feelings, i tend to overthink about it- making me cannot concetrate about anything i currently doing, but that's not really the big deal. The big deal is when i try to sleep, i cannot sleep deeply or even cannot sleep at all because i always got thoughts about the anime. Then when i just try to focus on sleeping, i won't sleep. This has happend few times, when i only got 2 hours 'bad' sleep on very busy days. Affecting my health and my life. I think it happen when i've just watched Tari-Tari or whatever that is. That were such a terrible day i've ever experienced. But either way around, some anime with warm or nostalgic feeling is like a sleeping pills for me. |
| Well i get depressed a little but the next day i am all good so i dont think it affects my health |
 |
| There are certain moments in a bunch of series that I still think about, but they don’t affect my health. Just my feelz. |
  |
| Yes, it does... but after 20 minutes and a sandwich I'm good as new hahaha. So basically no, I love sad or bittersweet endings (if they are well done) because most of the time the stories they tell are a lot more interesting and well fleshed to me. |
 |
| I've seen a ton and they don't seem to affect me |
| yes, watching sad animes makes me want to jump off a bridge |
 |
| No. I don't think so. Indeed, it makes me so healthy. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Sad animes that have the capability to make me cry are godsent. They provide a sense of surreal catharsis and boost my mental well-being. |
 |
| Nah, only lack of sleep could do that to me |

| I don't know, I don't think it particularly affects me mentally nor physically. What I would imagine affects me more is anime that makes me angry due to overuse of stupid stereotypes, but I drop those reasonably fast. They say that laughing affects one's immunity system positively, so maybe watching comedy anime is good for one's health. Watching sad shows wouldn't necessarily have the opposite effect though. But if it makes you depressed then yes, it probably has some negative health impact, since that's what depression does regardless of cause. But it's probably rather negligible unless it's the only thing that one would watch. Still, I don't see reason to watch something one doesn't like, regardless of any health impact. One should watch anime to enjoy it, and choose genres accordingly. I do enjoy some sad shows myself, some shows specifically because they are sad. But I don't feel negative feelings while watching them, which is important part, imo. I do feel some sadness obviously, but I don't count sadness as negative feeling, unless it's the only thing that person feels. And I do feel plenty of enjoyment too with those. I can enjoy anime of all genres. |
| Watching sad anime makes me melancholy, sometimes for a day or two if it was really good. |
 |
| Maybe, I tend to avoid sad things. But... despite watching sad things in my life... I think I'm fine... even if I took a week where I watched every day the same movie, which has a sad ending. I think after the 5th time, I started crying less. |
