I'm in the mood for a good cry! I want recommendations for anime that are guaranteed to tug at the heartstrings and leave me an emotional wreck. Bring on the drama, the tragedy, the beautiful sadness! What really got to you?

Your Lie in April is a masterpiece of emotional storytelling. Get ready for tears, especially in the second half. 😭🎹

Clannad: After Story. It's a classic for a reason. Start with Clannad, then prepare your tissues for After Story. It's devastatingly beautiful.

Azure Monarch

Violet Evergarden. The animation is gorgeous, and each episode is a self-contained story that will absolutely make you sob. So moving! ✉️

Iron Hunter

Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day. It's a shorter series but packs a huge emotional punch about grief and friendship. You WILL cry.

To Your Eternity! Follows an immortal being learning about humanity through loss. Every arc is a tear-jerker. So good but so sad. 💔
