Well, I can think of only Clannad: AF atm.
What do you consider the saddest anime?

If you mean most tears, definitely Clannad. Probably others that would be more sad in a depressing kinda way though.

It would be incredibly depressing if you excluded the last episode lol

My kneejerk reaction to the question is “Grave of the Fireflies”.

Fun fact: originally a double feature with My Neighbor Totoro.

My Neighbor Totoro is really sad also (or can be).

That sounds like a roller coaster of a ride.

Ditto. I like a lot of sad stuff and that is just another level.

It really is in a class all its own. I don’t think I could ever watch it again.

It pretty much takes place in a limbo/purgatory. Children who die without finding peace or have unresolved emotions end up there. The story slowly reveals this and explores each characters’ reasons for ending up there - often confronting their death and untangling the things which kept them from moving on. Time itself is kind of nebulous there; two of the main characters, one who starts as a sort of antagonist and the protagonist, are kind of tied together by fate with the protag being a heart donor to the antagonist. The protagonist died before and his heart was given to her, but somehow she ended up there before him even though she lived a full life (if I’m remembering right) l. It’s honestly a super beautiful story, and I think one of my favorite parts is the ending song/mv which plays at the end up each episode- it features every character, and as they move on during the series their spot in the ED is just blank with the final episode ending without any of them.
