So, as the title suggests, i'd like your recommendations on sad anime. I don't mind the genre it is from, whether it be romance or mecha or any other genre, i'd like anime where you truly felt emotional, maybe you shed a tear or something similar.

I will start this list with some examples of (IMO) sad anime which i have watched
- Air
- Ano Hana
- Ano Natsu de Matteru
- Clannad \ Afterstory

I'd suggest Code Geass. The 2nd season is pretty sad, especially the ending, but you'll have to watch the first season first.
All in all, Code Geass is a pretty good anime. Definitely worth watching, IMO.

(If I manage to think up anymore sad animes, I'll post them later)

Hotaru no Haka - Better known as Grave of the Fireflies. If you don't at least feel sad by the end of this movie that nothing I suggest will. This is pretty much the epitome of depressing anime.

...and a few more that's worth keeping an eye on:

Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin
Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku
H2O: Footprints in the Sand
Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora
Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo
Saikano

Second Ano Hana - just finished that a few days ago and OMG I cried so much and I didn't expect it would be that sad but it was amazing!!! Last time I cried so much over an anime was After Story....Definitely recommend Ano Hana. I loved it!!!!!

Elfen Lied is pretty sad, but only watch if you can endure blood because it has a lot.

Ah. My favourite kind of anime.
Yeah, most of the ones I can think of contain a fair bit of blood, so if you don't mind that, it's fine.

Elfen Lied
Angel Beats!
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Madoka Magica
Mirai Nikki
No. 6
Chrono Crusade
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
