Anime and manga that will make you cry
| Clannad 2nd season
| Mighty No. 9 will make you cry like an anime fan in prom night.
Oh...
| Garden of Words, Akame Ga Kill, Parasyte. I watched all and cried.
| Angel Beats and Anohana
| Koe no Katachi
| Kodomo No Jikan
| Gakkou Gurashi, or at least the manga version, made me feel lotsa feels. I haven't watched the anime though.
| Wolf's rain - this one is forgotten and underated masterpiece. At first it may seems boring, but it has some deep questions, interesting message and shocking ending. Also I really adore the artstyle, but thats personal, not everyone may like it.
| >>#423747 what do you mean, gakkou gurashi's a pretty cute comedy SoL. how do you cry lmao
| >>423802
God, it's such a nice thing that someone actually remembers it! Wolf's Rain was one of the first animes I'd watched. I still adore it so much, it's just beautiful.
I think I need to rewatch it again some time soon, especially since you've mentioned it here
| Silent voice
| >>338e1e Yeah, the tears that come from realizing how much time you wasted watching that shit or even worse spending over 40$/€ to play the even shittier vn.
| I cried while watching Code Geass and of course while watching Gurren Lagann.
Both are my favourite.
| In recent memory, i think the one thing i remember crying at was 'A Place Further beyond the Universe'. Last episode hits you and makes you fucking cry like no other. Steins Gate 0 was pretty suffering, though its not as cleverly written as the original. Death's Parade was pretty good too in a very 'the beauty of life' kinda way. Uh...One Punch Man for Mumen Rider alone.
| >>f5ad31No product related to Clannad is "good". It's just the mere result of a super commercial thing in japan that of course needs really little effort to be done, just like every VN, in fact most of VNs are boring as hell. Clannad is just so forced that is ridiculously gently asking you to cry for whatever happens. Clannad is just bad, so the animes, VN, movies and wathever comes in your mind.
| Devilman:crybaby 9 series~~
| I was crying pretty hard half way through One Piece and Fairy Tail has plenty of moments too
| Violet Evergarden
| Never watched an anime but clannad is one of the best vns I played. I had this nostalgic feeling going on, kind of immersion. It felt familiar for some reason. I only rly cried a few times reading it, though. >>424633 Tastes are subjective, it's fine if you don't like it.
| >>971704 Taste CAN be subjective. If something is objectively bad then going around and pretending that is good is a problem. Overstimating stuff is a problem, making the creator think that what they did is okay is a problem, saying to them to literally do whatever they want, letting them know that quality is not something we are looking for. One of the boggest reasons why animes are becoming shittier and shittier year after year.
| Well, Clannad is kinda cheating if people praise it for all the tears shed. Almost all the characters, including the protagonist have illness/mental problem, ofc it will be tragic and sad...
If you look at Katawa Shoujou, with all the disabled casts, they don't even exploit the disabilities that much to make the reader cry.
| And don't even start with the anime. It is slow as fuck. It is hard to believe that people that aren't already fan of the VN can sit and watch it drag for 20 episodes. I don't remember it having great animation or scene either. You might as well go read the VN, the VN is translated, voiced, and available at steam.
| >>424900 You considering Clannad objectively bad is your subjective opinion. Objectivity if we have to talk about it is the combination of all the subjective opinions out there. What goes by good in your book, I wonder?
>>424948 People love the struggle and the drama, they don't get that in their boring busybody lives, that's just how it is. Katawa is less memorable. Can't argue with that as I don't remember if I cried reading it at all.
| >>424952 Personally, I would never watch an anime for a VN and vice versa. Makes no sense if I know how it's gonna end. Makes even less sense if you don't like the original. Same goes for the book based movies. Those are indeed made cause these are more popular mediums. Format difference makes it quite difficult to show what made it good oftentimes.
| >>425187 well, a lot of anime are based on manga/light novel and sometimes the adaptation is much better than the source. You know, manga not having color/voice/movement; VN having limited art and slow pacing
Plus, usually VN adaptation will just merge together all the girls route into one "harem but not harem" canon, which what clannad the anime did. I guess it is worth watching if you are into that kinda stuff.
| And for the record I don't hate clannad VN. Like I said, I just disagree with people who praise it because it made them cry.
Though, looking back, it's not that great. It is good for "baby's first VN" which it was for me at that time.
>people like drama that they don't get IRL.
Well, then they should have find a more realistic drama to read. Since clannad has ghost, magic, and stuff. This is not drama that people don't get in their mundane life, it just impossible to happen IRL.
| >>971704 At all, you can say that you like it even uf it's bad, and there is nothing bad with liking something bad, I could doubt about your taste, probably, but even liking Clannad: nobody should turn a blind eye to the effortless thing it is. There is nothing bad into acknowledge that the anime/vn you like is not very well made.
You can like Clannad, it won't change the fact that is not a quality production, it won't change how effortless it is.

Fucking Devilman Crybaby episode 9. That's some shit dude.
I have never actually had an anime nor manga make me cry, but I think you should just find some highly rated romance animes or mangas if you want to get emotional.
Also Devilman Crybaby. It's not a romance anime, but that show fucks with your emotions pretty hard at the end there.
| >>425285 It's not bad if it has 8+ on vndb I believe. Moreover it isn't effortless. It may have been one of key's biggest works. It's totally okay if you don't like it, but insulting others' work and your fellow human beings' opinion is just bad.

Merging routes usually hurts character development to a various degree.
It had it's occult moments but not like there were a lot of them. One school route and true ending thingy. Not really enough to put it into that particular genre.
Imo it also had amazing atmosphere and nice writing. Making a reader cry is also not so easy. Not many other VNs can do that too well.
| >>971704 Like if a score could count something for a overpriced VN? A price so stupidly high that you would never risk to waste your money on something that expensive not liking the genre. That's a reason why the vn can have plenty of high scores, and at the same time people are known to not be able to judge something. Most of the people just buy stuff and turn a blind eye to issues, they e "enjoy them" and never criticize.
Some of them will also defend the purchase.
| >>971704 Let me be a bit more specific: VN is at the basics, something really really effortless. You put very little money into it, and you don't need a huge staff. Just look how many shit VNs exist all of them about love with sad stuff. You will find very little non-generic VNs out there that actually have effort in it. Clannad is just the sample of taking advantage of the fact that people may like that kind of stuff, even putting very little efforts in making it feel real.

| Does anyone know any good anime that will have me crying at the end, maybe even halfway through? I just finished watching Poco's Udon World and I loved it so much. I want to find more anime or manga like this.
