Clannad After Story hit me pretty hard.

Grave of the Fireflies was a hard one to get through too.

Also some anime that weren't necessarily sad throughout but had some sad moments would be
Death Parade
Hunter x Hunter

Steins;Gate, nothing in this one really brought me to tears or anything but I did feel sad for some of the things the characters had to go through.

I avoid sad/drama anime as much as possible so probably Zankyou no Terror.

Akgame ga kill, the deaths were cruel and depressing

Ano Hana and Angel Beats got me in the final episode, the tears and snot were all over my pillow >.>

Naruto Shippuuden and Fairy Tail, have a really SAAAAAAAD episodes and have this deadly OST that will make you cry even if the scene was normal :")

Texhnolyze: This one produces a weird sort of sadness, one that is devoid of any sweet quality. It just leaves a bid empty hole in your soul that nothing will ever fill or even cover.

5 Centimeters per Second: This one hits way too close to home. It seems so real. I cry every time.

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom: The ending will destroy your feelings for at least a day.

Hotarubi no Mori e - A well put together tear jerker in 45 minutes.

Grave of fireflies - This movie is hard to sit through because it never gets better. The movie doesn't have high and low points like most tear jerkers. It starts sad and gradually gets worse from there.

Texhnolyze- This anime is the type that makes you sad with no catharsis throughout the anime and unleashes all of its catharsis in the finale. It works so well because its has the "empty" type of sadness with its nihilistic story.

Wolf Children- The beginning was just too cruel and what happens later. Its pretty light hearted movie as far as tear jerkers go.

Haibane Renmei- This anime is great because it manages to be calm and also have a dark tone in the background. The anime gives you some clues to piece together its mystery and hits hard when it gets revealed towards the end.

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

Gungrave is pretty sad otherwise.

WARNING!: If you are still watching Elfen Lied or reading it I suggest you do not read anymore. If you aren't up to Shiki ep18 please don't read anymore either unless you wanna be spoilt.



I never cry in animations, movies, anime (etc) but I've almost cried in Elfen Lied and Shiki. Elfen Lied I didn't cry in the anime ending but it seriously hit me in the feels in the manga. Shiki I've not finished it but I felt water in my eyes in this one part but I didn't cry.

In Elfen Lied at the end I almost cried in the manga BECAUSE when Lucy sacrificed herself just to save the human race and she died.

In Shiki when Natsuno died I was kinda sad even though he was cold hearted. But when he was kind it made me so sad he died as human especially when Tohru killed him.

From the anime I've watched, shigatsu wa kimi no uso, but all my friends who watched both that and clannad after story told me that after story was way more sad, so I think clannad after story will be the saddest one I've watched when I'll have watched it.

Probably:
Clannad: After Story - cause of the family stuff;
Hotarubi no Mori e - sad ending;
Charlotte - a bit, because of the last episode when main mc struggles with all the powers and memories...

The only thing that legitimately made a single tear drop from my eye isn't even an anime rather a vocaloid story called The Story of Evil. Why i don't know but there ya go.

I don't view any anime series I've watched as overall "sad". There are a few scenes that were sad, yes, but no anime has made me sad throughout.

Having to pick, it would probably be something that ended in a sad way

Code Geass
Assassination Classroom
Berserk

I would probably have to go with Code Geass though since I wasn't expecting that.

Anohana would be my first choice

And SAO Ordinal Scale because I thought it would be at least better than SAO 2.... It was so sad seeing how terrible the results were...

Highschool of the Dead made me cry. That show could have been like The Walking Dead(Anime Version). Instead a great premise was wasted for more ecchi bullshit. I still haven't gotten over that.

Ok, as for my actual tear-jerking moments:

DBZ -


HxH -


The World God Only Knows: Goddesses -


Kuroko no Basket 2nd Season -


Naruto - far too many moments to name them all, but my biggest tearjerker was


Other than those, I'm solid like a rock.

EDIT: I can't believe I forgot this. My big bad manly tears were flowing pretty hard in Elfen Lied when
