I want to cry. I want to feel something in my heart. I want to curl up on the couch and sob as the credits roll. I want my nose to be so stuffy i have to breathe through my mouth. Whats an anime that can do this the same way banana fish did

I think it's pretty subjective, but I would recommend Violet Evergarden if you haven't watched it yet.

Well, you could watch Angel Beats! or Clannad "especially the sequel Clannad: After Story", they're great shows indeed.

Some great recommendations already (especially Link Click, Violet Evergarden, Orange, Clannad and Anohana). I annoyingly don’t get teary very often with media, but some others that got me were:

Steins;Gate
Fruits Basket
Anthem of the Heart
I Want to Eat Your Pancreas
Summer Ghost
Maquia
Sonny Boy
Natsume Yuujinchou

I wouldn’t call it sad, but if your searching for something similar to banana fish I can recommend you the manga Yasha. It was written by the same author as Banana fish and the story are relatively similar.

i could suggest Link Click and Steins;Gate, lots of emotion (but they've already been said).
a rather underrated anime that few people talk about but which is nevertheless great, that would be Rainbow (2010)! themes in common with Banana Fish. guaranteed emotions 😭

Surprisingly I thought the “Great Pretender” was kinda like Banana Fish. It is on Netflix rn, but also other websites. :)

@meltingmadness I second that rec :3
What debating with DigiCat is like according to APolygons2
That's why I thought a discussion would be pointless. It doesn't feel like a debate. It feels like I'm playing chess and somehow lose to an uno reverse card after loosing all my monopoly money lol

Theme-wise Rainbow is probs the most similar, but it's a lil more graphic than Banana Fish

Some other anime that are very emotional
- Orange
- Hunter x Hunter (1999)
- Black Clover

I’d recommend Link Click and Assassination classroom. Link click’ sadness is a bit subjective I feel but there’s this one ep that cuts deep no matter what and AC’s ending was so freaking heartbreaking

I’m surprised no one said Zankyou no terror yet. It’s very similiar- also about two young boys who have been through some serious shit in their lives, also action packed but with great focus on characters and their struggles, and also very emotional and heart-wrenching. A really good short anime with beautiful soundtrack and cinematography, highly recommend.

all of the suggestions like Clannad or Violet Ever garden can make you cry, but nothing compares to what banana fish does. for me it's not only a sad anime but a mixture of many feelings that I haven't experienced in any other series

I think '91 days' should be an anime similar to 'Banana Fish'
