Ok so I just watched https://myanimelist.net/anime/578/Hotaru_no_Haka and I legit felt no emotion. I didn’t even feel sad and theres some tragic stuff there. Like I’m trying to find any anime that will make me feel sad but I can’t lmao. Idk if I’m just used to movies and stuff like that. Im not depressed or anything, I’m actually pretty happy. Help??

Yea I didn't feel any emotions during that movie either. Saishuu Heiki Kanojo worked well for me.

Probably cause you didn't like the movie or didn't really resonate with the characters and the story. Nothing wrong with that. Try watching something new that you'll enjoy.

You are cold hearted I guess? But tbh, it's up to you whether you want to truly enjoy/feel something or not. If I make up my mind, I can cry over a hentai or laugh over a character's death I really cared for. It's all in your head.

Not simping or anything but Berserk might make you emotional.
Hardcore Berserk fan

My favorite quotes
Griffith (from Berserk): "Dreams breathe life into men and can cage them in suffering. Men live and die by their dreams. But long after they have been abandoned they still smolder deep in men's hearts. Some see nothing more than life and death. They are dead, for they have no dreams."

Guts (from Berserk): "Revenge... War... Maybe that's enough reason. I'm all alone, I think. For now. And within me is the black berserker rage... And only that... Will keep me on my feet. As I head toward you... Pressing on."

You mentioned that you're looking for sad anime, maybe do the opposite? Maybe you're too accustomed to the tearjerker tropes. Stay away from anything emotional for a while and then watch Clannad or something.

Well to be fair Hotaru no Haka isnt like the ultimate tearjerker. Every tearjerker is a drama, but not every drama is a tearjerker. You need tearjerkers

Well getting emotional with an anime is quite the task i'd say because you hve to learn to be honest with yourself. A series is better for this since it has a longer runtime and it gives you more time to connect to the characters.

I'd say go watch YliA, Clannad, Plastic Memories, Sakurasou. Clannad especially is awesome

I bawled my eyes out while watching Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. It was the only anime that actually made me cry. Perhaps that would make you more emotional?

Don't worry about that. I also don't feel anything towards that movie too. I can confirm it as one of my least favorite movie as well. Just keep looking for good shows and you'll surely encounter one. Try not to look for especially tearjerkers shows because when you don't feel anything you'll be very disappointed. Instead look for good drama anime or fun shows.

You probably didn't cry because the movie was trash. Try watching some more emotional anime.

I don't know if it'll work but evangelion might just do it for you. It is the only anime that actually broke me but its a hit or miss show. If you don't relate to the characters you might not even like it(But give it a shot, its one of the best anime ever made). Also welcome to the nhk is the show for you if you want to get depressed. I dropped it around ep 11 because I was too afraid to continue.
But even here if you don't relate to the main character it might not affect you. Anyways these 2 are my recommendations, if you haven't watched them already.

Zero emotion, full enjoyment. When characters are about to die, those are the enjoyable moments.

pretty common honestly i have a poker face 90% of every anime i watch unless it's a very spicy scene/tense stuff (by spicy i mean plot changing scenes or whatever, moments of anxiety)

question, did you go into this anime expecting THE MOST TOUCHING STORY EVAR with a box of tissues and a tub of ice cream ready? because if you did, that could explain your reaction. i don't know about you, but when i watch or read something with a lot of hype, i am a lot more critical of it. that's why i always try to keep my expectations low - then i'll never be disappointed.

Grave of Fireflies was a very deep anime. I felt emotional in couple of scenes. Didn't feel the same for Angel Beats though

Even outside of anime, everyone cries/feel emotion at different things. For example, I consider clannad to be the saddest thing I've seen but I'm sure there's a countless amount of people out there who watched it with a straight face. It's natural

I guarantee you felt some kind of emotion. Emotions are more than just sadness.

Maybe it's desensitization, causing your breaking point to be insurmountable. Maybe it's your expectations. Maybe you need to identify your triggers. Maybe your tear ducts are blocked up. Or maybe you're simply a monster.

I can relate in your search for an anime that makes you want to feel emotional and coming up empty handed. No anime I have seen has ACTUALLY made me cry but a select few have been pretty close im ngl. For me my mind immediately goes to Plastic Memories. It's a really good, popular romance and if you haven't seen it already you should give it a try. It might get you where you're trying to go.

Well it's pretty common , not everyone cried watching sad anime , it's simply you can't relate to the character sadness , don't try too hard to relate it's not a sin to not crying on sad shows

I've watched violet evergarden eps 10 , the so called saddest anime Episode but I don't feel anything at all it feels like a PSA for loving your family .
