- Violent Evergarden
- a place further than the universe
- Dusk Maiden of Amnesia
In short: emotionally loaded
CsXGF8uzUAOh6fqV@lemmy.world 8 hours ago Apart from anime with traditionally sad scenes like Violet Evergarden or Gintama, I have the strange ability to cry about cute girls doing cute things slice of life anime 😅. Like Non Non Biyori, K-ON, Gochiusa. I really like the tender and soft moments. For example that scene where Chino-chan decides to lean against Cocoa-chan and Mocha-chan. It’s a bit sad, but mostly it is just so sweet and pure and tender.
To me one of the most precious effects an anime can have is when it makes me cry without the scene being sad. The queen of this has to be ARIA. Of course that one scene with Alice. But also just Alicia explaining why she doesn’t get angry to Alice. The iyashikei just hits so hard I start feeling that being alive is wonderful. Those are my favorite tears!

Episode 10 of Violet Evergarden is the only time I cried while watching anime.

Ann 😭😭😭. Definitely my favorite episode. The letter to Gilbert did me in as well. When she looks at the camera I’m so done for…

Stupid answer but: anything that moves me 😅
The easiest way is through a mother’s death. The ones that come to mind are:
meta spoiler; anime titles
- that episode of DanDaDan - that episode of Violet Evergarden - first episode of Oshi no Ko
Others that I’ve found moving include:
- Umamusume season 2
- Angel Beats
- Belle
I guess a common theme is that these anime feature characters who persevere / struggle through hardships.

86 always gets me. It doesn’t matter that I know what’s going to happen. I always end up crying.

Season 1 of My Hero Academia. There’s just something about Deku trying so hard and caring so much. Makes me cry every time. By far my favorite anime season ever.
I wish the whole series was that good but it just gets worse every season. Don’t even get me started on that abomination of a finale.

Endings can kinda get to me. Not the end of a show necessarily, but the end of a story. It often happens at the end of a show, but not always. The best example that comes to mind is actually a video game called Season letters to Tomorrow (or something like that). Without spoilers you leave your home and it’s as sad as it is uplifting, and then you document the last day of a town before it’s destroyed. There are other endings that you get to document too, big and small, and all of them are framed as emotionally complex.
I think I’m just a nostalgic person, because ancient ruins and stories in that context also get me. Girls front line was sad long before the ending! Maybe it’s because i was born in the late 90s and i saw the world getting better before it started getting worse.
