Comment on When was the first time you cried over an anime?

can’t remember the first time. but I can tell you when I cried the hardest.
To Your Eternity.
the whole first season was a cry fest.
when the boy died, it broke something inside me. he tried the best he could, and it was still not enough. when the little girl was practically tortured and sacrificed. I had to pause the episode and bawl for like 30 minutes.
I cried so much that my wife asked me the next day why my eyes were all red and puffy.
it’s the only story that inflicted serious psychological damage to me. it took me a year to work through the damage, and even now I’m misty-eyed remembering everything.
I was going through some really rough times at work with an abusive boss and my emotional state was probably not very stable. watching human suffering just…broke something in me.
