If you haven't seen them yet, Kanon (2006) and Air.
After that, I'd say try going through the rest of Key's works.
Dreaming 'bout long gone things;
Days, on end, repeating infinitely.
Like the inside of a never-ending dream,
Whilst looking for the endless morn...
Only to return to the dream again

@duchessliz87 Wow I saw the Summer Ghost one but didn't remember. It was so sad, specially the friend ending.

There's too much to list in this category, I may suggest a hidden gem that can do the job: Re-Birthday

If you are in for something longer then you could try Aria the Animation it's wholesome, beautiful and the 3rd season is very emotional.
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement.

I have yet to see a more depressing anime out there and after asking a user with 5k completed if they had watched any series more depressing they called my search "futile".

Another series I would recommend since you cried to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners would be Devilman: Crybaby (hoho another pun).

I have not cried from any anime, save for two. I'm not saying that to sound tough or anything- instead I usually get this kind of sunken stomach feeling, like crying on the inside. Tokyo Godfathers and Gunbuster are the only anime that have managed to make me tear up!

Any work by Yuasa has stimulated more of my tear glands than most anime with that intention.

I am probably a monster because of that list only Shigatsu wa Kimi Uso made me cry. As for ansatsu kyoushitsu the end feel more catharsis that sad so I accepted with a smile because the end of Koro sensei we will all pass by that.
