Definitely not Clannad. You can go ahead and watch that, it’s just a happy-go-lucky slice of life comedy!
Of course Grave of the Fireflies. Kiki’s Delivery Service gets to me in a very different way.
As for series, Trigun (old one), end of episode 23.
Grave of the Fireflies is kind of the wrecking-ball version of this. Powerful, not subtle, and leaves you utterly devastated.
(Runner-up for me might be Gurren Lagann.)
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. After one of the last episodes I was just left staring at the wall blankly for a little, tears running down my face.
Violet Evergarden, episode 10.
There have been lots.
But my most recent was Moshoku Tensei and its current “future timeline (of the MC)” stuff. (I hope it’s just a “vision”).
I’m a middle aged dude and watching what happens to his 2 wives and then his lost love, Eris. I’m not ashamed to admit that I cried (and am now, typing this) and lost actual sleep over it. You’re (probably) laughing, and I’m amazed at how much I didn’t know I cared about the characters.
Storytelling, when done well, is powerful. Seriously. 🤯
To Your Eternity and Ranking of Kings immediately come to mind but I think the hardest I’ve been gut-punched in the feels is Dan Da Dan
For me it has to be LOOK BACK. What a great movie.
Angel Beats
I barely remember anything about it because I watched it like 15 years ago. But I remember sobbing
A place further than the universe
Mushoku Tensei, couldn’t watch the diary episode fully. Watchers do know what has been through from the previous episode but fucking hell man that was too sad.
Yeah I felt nauseous afterwards
most recently–Love Unseen, halfway through the season (no spoilers)
