Koe no Katachi, Grave of the Fireflies, Angel Beats, The Tale of Princess Kaguya, Death Parade, and Assassination Classroom.

P.S. I just noticed that I'm the only one who mentioned The Tale of Princess Kaguya. Friiick! That ending was so depressing. ;-;

There are many saddest animes I've ever seen. But the one I like is:
- Clannad After Stories
- Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso
- Plastic Memories

This anime series not only tells about the separation that can make cry, but also bring the message to live life to the maximum. Although the story is very sad but also very romantic.

Kaiba is so sad because everything in it is amplified. The grotesque style just screams out any emotion, everything is so alive.

Aku no Hana gave me hardcore feels. It might just be a thing for me though cause I was involved in a similar situation, but that shit fucked me up. The anime itself wasn't even that sad either, it just made me an emotional wreck.

I had to hold my tears in the ending of assassination classroom. It would've been embarassing if my parents had walked in on me crying like a bitch to a "cartoon"

Wow, that's a pretty great use of the plural verb form 'are' in the title. It utilises the fact that anime is the same in both its singular and plural form. Much respect, although the punctuation could use some work.

Being honest it's the manga that hits me in the feels not the anime cuz usually ends very mysteriously and random so these are the one's that hit me in the feels.

I dont have a very sad anime I've watched so these are manga

Elfen Lied
Fairy Tail
Brynhildr in the darkness


SPOILER ALERT:
Mostly Elfen Lied at the end because of what happened to Lucy in the manga

I see everyone has different taste on whats sad, the answers are diverse and majority of the "saddest" rated animes i didnt tear up. NANA is such an underated anime with a very tragic story. one of the only anime that mad me sad for awhile (feeling of emptiness since they never finish the anime smfh).

hmmm anime that made me cry are: Kiznaiver, Kokoro connect, Pupipo!, and uh oh i guess that's it...
Romance stuff mostly gets me, so romance drama anime series are often the saddest series to me.

Clannad made me cry very hard. Easily the saddest thing I've watched. No other sad anime has even made me shed a single tear but I cried buckets to Clannad.

Grave of the Fireflies sits firmly on top for me, and there aren't really any other anime that comes very close to it. It's to the point where i am actually afraid to re watch it, don't think i can handle it a second time he,he...

When it comes to the good warm 'feels' + watery eyes time and time again, i highly recommend the 'Aria' series :)

Grave of the Fireflies is the saddest movie ever, not just in anime.


^^^This would be the big one. I knew it was going to be sad going in to it, but I didn't know that it would be THAT sad. Man.

The only anime I've really teared up over would be the finale of Shigatsu, but only during Kosei's last performance. As a music performance major in college, I get emotional when music is emotional and damn was that a performance.
Others would be Orange and 3-gatsu no lion because they touched on some touchy subjects for me personally. I'd also include certain scenes from Gintama, Hunter x Hunter and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure because those shows have great characters that just make me sad when bad things happen to them

Anime that made me cry Niagara Falls at least once:
Clannad
K-On!!
Shirobako
Gurren Lagann
Anohana
Your Lie in April
Silver Spoon
Chrono Crusade
5 cm/ second

One's that brought me to tears but didn't create Niagara falls:

Sound! Euphonium
Aria (future seasons may change this)
Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu
FMA Brotherhood
Maid Dragon
Nana
3-Gatsu no Lion

Common ones that may have made me feel a little bit or done nothing at all to my heart (I like many of these still), but other's often call emotional:
Angel Beats
Steins;Gate
Welcome to the NHK
Kanon (2006)
Your Name.
Air
Plastic Memories
Grave of the Fireflies
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
Hotarubi no Mori e

Enjoy the heaps of feels that I'm sure many of these will provide you.

No.6 that ending got me and I teared up but that's the only anime, probably because I don't watch animes that are in that genre. Although I watched Death Parade and many people said they cried during that or teared up although I did not

Lol, I don't think I ever legit cried when watching an anime, or even feel overly depressed (for longer than a few minutes at least). Still, Grave of the Fireflies, 5cm Per Second, that one scene in HxH and ending of Sundome did sucker punch me hard for a moment.
