| For me, it's Clannad. I just couldn't get through the art style to even develop an attachment to anyone. |

| Your Lie in April. I don't know what it was but I could not for the life of me get connected at all. Now I'm not through it yet but 3D Real Girl has me biting my nails in fear of a third act cancer reveal or something. |

| uh def koe no katatchi, like it was more pity. like a bad pity. It just wasn't emotional at all felt so try hard. OH and, okay i loved the movie, but Grave of The Fireflies did not make me cry-and i cry at EVERYTHING. I think because it was such a bitter and harsh portrayal of war and death (something more akin to death ive experienced), it left me more....introspective rather than sobbing. |

| Haven't been really able to get into March comes in like a lion, EF was supposed to be sad but that felt meh to me. Lastly, unholy God the end of Angel Beats is so damn overhyped. |
What a beautiful Duwang |
| Violet Evergarden. I can't even take it seriously. The drama is so forced and fake. How can I feel sorry for a side character? Especially in the supposedly sad scene of the girl and her mom from episode 10. Its just bad, stupid, boring and annoying. 80% of the anime is the same shit. Pretty colours. |

| Definitely Clannad <character count> |
| Anohana. It was really boring for me, I didn't connect with the characters at all because of that, which is pretty weird 'cause I always have feelings with almost every anime/manga which I watch/read (If I liked them obviously). Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso didn't make me sad at the ending but I still like that show. |

| For me, it would be Kimi no Na wa. Now I'm definitely not saying that it's a bad movie, hell, it's one of my favorites, but I felt like there wasn't anything that would get me emotional. |

| A Place Further Than The Universe. Maybe I'm misremembering it, but the one scene that was supposed to be tear-jerking really made no sense to me why everyone was crying. I could partially understand Shirase's reason (albeit barely understand) but the rest seemed like they were crying just because everyone else was |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| A silent voice. Idk I understood most of the messages that the movie presented itself but I wasn't as moved or shocked or teary-eyed as I hoped I would have been. Maybe people who've experience bullying and suicide and harassment would have resonated with this movie more, but I haven't experienced all those things, so I wasn't. |
| Your Lie in april. Wasn't sad at all for me. It was pretty boring. |
| anohana to me it seems like the anime is trying to be emotional and melodramatic but i don't like the way things are presented |
| I can only think of "Angel Beats". It was boring and too fast paced. |
 |
| I don't remember much of it tbh, but it had a lot going on. Maybe it wasn't that big of an issue GERXjakobson said: .Banat_Lo said: I can only think of "Angel Beats". It was boring and too fast paced. How can something be fast-paced and the same time boring? I mean Angel Beats was boring, but the fast pacing definetly was not the problem |
|
| Angel beats for sure. The ending was just childish, and it held no emotional value for me tbh. Maybe because I thought the characters were uninteresting, so I had no attachment to them. It's something that you cry to when you're 13, but I just couldn't find it sad. And a silent voice as well. It was a deaf girl getting bullied, and then attaching a bullshit "friendship is EVERYTHING" message at the end. It was more so infuriating than sad. The animation really carried that movie. |
GERXjakobson said: Anohana. Maybe it's because I'm no and never was a hikikomori who hates his life and never met a ghost-girl who I have known before. :( menma, we found you.. legit destroyed me |

Arkab said: MAL's holy quartet of bad, overhyped drama writing: Angel Beats! Anohana Clannad & AS Shigatsu Reddit's too. You're just missing plastic memories |
|
| Anohana mainly because I just hated all of its characters |
 |
| Charlotte is a joke. It's rushed and kinda wacky. |
 |
| Air Its mystical lore about past memories felt out of place and contrived. Should've kept it about present characters and her ailment. |

| Too many but most remarkable are :Ano Hana, Your name , Your lie in April , The wind rises, A silent voice , Summer wars. I rarely cry for movies and shows,usually I just feel a lump in throath during a sad scene.However I have actually cried mutlipe times while watching ATLA (it is the only show for which I have cried) |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Anohana, it was boring I hated the characters and ended up dropping it after 4 eps |
| Literally every supposedly 'tear jerker' anime ever. Clannad, Shigatsu, Anohana, Hotaru no Haka. The worst of the lot is defn Anohana tho. |
 |
| Plastic memories for me. It was just so illogical how the androids were given an 8-year life span and no longer that I became completely disconnected with the story |
 |
| Your name Your lie in April Clannad A silent voice Not sure why most of the people find them emotional they were pretty boring in my opinion but your name visual and animation was really good though. |
Ri22rkJul 4, 2019 1:19 AM
| Several of them actually. - Anohana (rated 5) - Nagi no Asukara (dropped it) - Violet Evergarden (rated 7) - Angel Beats (rated 6) I guess I'm just not much of a fan of melodrama. |
| I want to eat your pancreas - Terrible movie. Basic, predictable, run of the mill garbage movie. Felt nothing through the film. Characters were horrible. Your Lie in April - How can I feel anything if every episode there is a character crying. Or every little thing is over dramatic to where you think.. (no person their age even thinks or acts like this) I remember the main guy fell into a pool or some shit and had like a 3 minute weird internal monologue about his feelings for a girl. So overdramatic.. its like KH/Final Fantasy on crack. |
 |
| Clannad and Anohana They were super dull and the characters were plain. Boring af. Nothing much in their stories. EDIT. I would also like to add Violet Evergarden, I don't get the hype. I only liked the stunning animation because they copied the design of Saber from Fate/ series. However, the story wasn't that appealing. |
JerryKen10Jul 4, 2019 1:26 AM
| Definitely Violet Evergarden, Anohana, Angel Beats, Maquia, and any Shinkai movie. I thought Your Lie in April was excellent but I didn't get that emotional throughout. |
Pixel_VapourJul 4, 2019 1:27 AM

| Anohana For me. i heard it was a tearjerker when i watched it but it didnt resonate with me |
 |
| Anohana, i didn't felt sad at all when i was watching it |
| Angel Beats, for sure. The comedy is really good, but whenever the big sad moments came around all I really felt was "oh... okay" Maybe I'll give it another shot someday, but not planning on it any time soon |
| Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho, Violet Evergarden and obviously Angel Beats And most Shinkai movies. I didn't knew they're supposed to be sad lol |
| like several other people has written too, i didn't find your lie in april sad in the slightest. couldn't get attached enough to the characters. |

| Oh my God, this trend was made for me. Superns18 said: For me Clannad was one of them too. Felt like they're wasting too much time and episodes in other characters instead of developing the main couple and their relationship. And it didn't help the fact that Nagisa looks, acts and sounds like a 4 year old girl, despite being one year older than Tomoya. And Clannad is not even the worst case.For me, it's Clannad. I just couldn't get through the art style to even develop an attachment to anyone. VioletDress said: I was angry when i watched it. Almost every character of the main cast was borderline unlikeable and unsympathetic, being a bunch of overreacting drama queens wallowing in self-pity.Anohana, i didn't felt sad at all when i was watching it Thunderbird227 said: Plastic memories give priority being sad than making sense, filling the story and world building with plot holes.Plastic memories for me.

 |
| Shitgatsu is an obvious one and yeah, it can only make you angry not sad tbh... Nagi no Asukara was supposed to be a tearjerker too? I've only been frustrated by the stupid characters and their love dramas. Incredibly annoying show. |
 |
| There are many more sad anime that don't resonate with me than ones that actually do, but the one I felt more disdain for was Your Lie In April. |
 hiSets Last FM Anime List Manga List Clue no. 2: Somewhere in one of the pictures in my forum signature. |
| your lie in April, the drama felt forced and unnatural at times. |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |
| Probably Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai. It was supposed to be a melodrama, but i don't get connected. I was hoping that it could make me sad as much as Your Lie in April since i love melodrama show, but it failed. The music ost was good tho, yet it was misplaced. Some users said Anohana, Platic Memories, SWKNU, Angel Beats before. Well, i can't argue more, each user has different taste. However, those series are good reccomendation for new anime fans, especially for those who loves melodrama series. |
| Silent Voice but the story was good doe |
