| @Alshu gives the best advice about emotional anime. He will make you cry. |
| "I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author). |
There's the thing - every show can make you sad even deeply depressed... For example Shin-chan. If you really think about what it says about people and society this can make you borderline suicidal. |
| Try Clannad then Clannad: ~After Story~ It should make you cry, if it fails too then, I guess you're made of steel. |
 |
| Try Violet Evergarden, Air, or Full Moon Wo Sagashite. xD Your Lie in April didn't make me cry either; I didn't like the story, personally....Kaori's a bad person. |

| Jujutsu Kaisen episode 17 animation was so freaking beautiful that I wanted to cry.Even a simple bullet attack had a lot of amazing sakuga animation. |

| Crying watching the popular sad anime isn't a guarentee. Your condition is normal. |

| it's ok if u didn't cry watching anohana, that anime's trash |
PiyushSan said: Please elaborate. Evil (the MC) always prevails. Nothing can't stop it. Even nice kids or adults become monsters after being in contact with Shinnosuke for a while. |
| fact that i cried at every single episode of anohana even at funny scenes. idk why that anime means a lot to me. but i also sometimes dont cry at series people say theyre the worst. different things affect different people differently i guess. |
| I think that anime (or media in general) that are able to evoke emotions, such as making you cry, without relying on sorrowful scenes / a sad story can be far superior. For example in Koe no Katachi, it wasn't particularly the "sad" moments throughout it, but rather the positive ones, that really moved me, especially the scenes that involved making up between the main duo, or Shouko's mother apologizing - those really moved me to tears. On another note, anime like 3-gatsu no Lion or Sora yori mo Tooi Basho were also able to do this, because the shows invested into developing its characters, which leads to one not feeling sad (or other emotions) over certain scenes/moments, but rather feel *with* these characters, so I'd really recommend pretty much anyone to watch these, as they're pretty much exceptional in my opinion. |
| Don't mind me, just passing by... |
| Watch Violet Evergarden. Ignore what everyone is saying about watching Clannad. As much as I love Clannad(I actually like it better than Violet Evergarden). Violet Evergarden would fit more for you. Based on what you said I've come to the conclusion that you prefer beatiful, somewhat sad animes over depressing tear jerkers. Violet Evergarden is a beatiful, somewhat sad anime. So check it out! |
| I gave up on character of the week since it takes too much thinking. I'll just change my forum pfp to whoever I want every week lol. |
| Idk why everyone thinks 'A silent voice' is supposed to be sad Ignore Violet Evergarden, it's boring shit that has the same theme as about thousand other movies and anime If Clannad AS doesn't make you cry , probably nothing will |

| If you wanna cry you have to watch Clannad anda Clannad After Story . |
 Which is why I can say certain and no one can convince me otherwise,that I am the happiest girl in the world right now. |
ichigoisbae said: it's ok if u didn't cry watching anohana, that anime's trash flinguist said: You take that back, now! >:( jk lol <3 To OP and others, I think its whatever you watch first because you're so unprepared for how hard anime can hit. Anohana was my first emotional anime which made me cry, after which i watched Your Name, Your Lie in April, and more and never cried again. It took till I watched A Silent Voice for me to tear up again. I think you're more likely to cry if you watch an anime without any expectations that it'll make you cry. LOL Anohana was the first anime I ever watched (not counting kid stuff). I was almost crying at the end of it. I've quickly forgotten about the plot, the characters, the art but the feeling will always be here. Then again, I was really easily influenced since it was my entry point in anime along with Angel Beats! |

| Don't force yourself into crying because then you won't cry. Everyone is different and everyone finds different things sad, if you don't find an anime sad that means that it may not be for you. It should just come naturally. |
 |
| Of all that you listed and that I've seen, I didn't cry but I came the closest on Your Name |
 |
| Try I Want To Eat Your Pancreas or Violet Evergarden |

| Anime known to be sad are the least sad out there. animes that don't focus on making you cry are the ones that focus on what the anime is about with emotional scenes. i didn't cry with a silent voice, but if i did it with one punch man, seriously i did cry with an anime that focuses only in comedy (if someone saw OPM, they will know what scene I'm talking about) and mostly shonen have sad scenes that can make anyone cry (FMA, Naruto and SNK are some examples). |
 a wise user of MAL said: Just to clarify, adaptations should absolutely stand on their own |
| Maybe you're more prone to cry to anime that are more grounded in reality. My Sister Momoko is one of these. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
That is deep and sadly true. Human Psyche is weird and fascinating. |
 |
| Everyone cries to different things so don't force it |
 |
I wouldn't call it fascinating, more like totally repulsive...the main reason to be depressed. |
| Try reading Mai-chan no Nichijou. The most emotional thing ever. After reading the final chapter you'll cry and may get crippling depression and lose your will to live. |
 |
| Neither of These shows in the OP is that Sad. |

Pratham-Otaku said: Idk Why but I cried in "Your Name" but I didn't cry in "Your lie in April" , "Anohana" , "A Silent Voice".... "Your name" is not sad story but still and One of the most sad series "Your lie in April" I didn't cry it's not like I am holding back It always feel likes I am missing something though I watch it with full concentration and it is not the case either that I can't relate... I am really like main character in "Silent Voice" and "Anohana" but still... I really wanna cry If I don't cry I doesn't feel satisfied, like there is some strange feeling... Please comment below your thoughts I bawled watching Violet Evergarden. Banana Fish can make you feel emotional since it's basically tragedy. The Garden of Words was an emotional one as well. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| I heard fans of The Promised Neverland cried watching the second season. |

| Humans beings are not so simple. We are complex creatures. Our crying depends on a lot of variables like the state of mind you are in, the food you eat, the sleep you've been getting, the weather (yes, weird right?), the music/soundtrack, and your more important things in life like family, friends, work etc. And on top of that, sometimes we just feel like crying, even for no reason at all. We don't fully understand our brains yet neurologically and psychologically. |
| go fap a little , bath , eat and then watch . it should work |
 OBAMOS |
| Try Grave of the Fireflies........ |

Please comment below your thoughts I have never cried when watching an anime. I have gone as far as having a lump in my throat, but I have never actually cried tears. I'm not a heartless bastard or anything, I just don't tend to cry about things. Shows that try hard very hard to make the viewer cry have zero effect on me. Clannad tried this at every turn, and in the end, I was just rolling my eyes. It always felt that Clannad was trying to manipulate the viewer with it's music and over the top dramatics of it's characters to get people to cry. I have no idea how this works on anybody that isn't a teenager in all honesty. As for Your Lie in April |
| Try Grave Of The Fireflies it's the most emotional anime in my opinion |
