I cried in 5 out of 6 episodes of Takopi’s Original Sin. The me of 2020 wouldn’t believe it.

First time it happened was on completing Violet Evergarden the Movie on late 2021. Haven’t cried for more than 10 years prior to that, and it was the first I did so because I’m very happy for Violet.

What’s yours?

      This would have been a fine comment, but just don’t self-promote where it isn’t relevant to the rest of the discussion.

    I just found this looking for people to talk to about that stupid octopus. Guess I’m not one to cry anymore. Not more than a sparkle, at least.

    What hit me hard was the end of Fushigi Yuugi: The Mysterious Play. I don’t even remember any one episode, and seeing the artwork brings me a total blank.

    First I can think of is the end of K-On! I watched the show for the first time in my senior year of college, so that feeling of having to go away from the friends I had made in my time there was pretty significant.

    Some random others off the top of my head:

    Frieren for kind of the same reason.

    Violet Evergarden, especially the episode about the mom writing to her daughter.

    Grave of the Fireflies.

    Probably some others I’m forgetting.

      Grave of the Fireflies

      OMG, back home I watched this movie with some friends, 3 of us were crying while others were complaining trying to figure out how to overcome a hypothetical situation if we were there… Life works in weird ways; we’ve seen kind of similar situations in past 20 years and some of us have been volunteering/advocating while others just complain but in the end, it’s hard not to feel something with that.

      Probably some others I’m forgetting.

      I have to confess that I’ve cried more with anime than traditional movies.

      It’s okay, I did too.

      Basic can also mean approachable. My partner doesn’t usually like anime and she enjoyed that one a lot.

    (Most recently) First episode of Frieren. I have regrets about how little I’ve connected with the people around me and it just hit hard.

    Edit: ohhh, FIRST time? Fullmetal alchemist maybe, or Elfen Lied (little teenage me went in because boobs and got a lot more than i bargained for; i don’t even remember it beyond it being sad)?

    Hard to remember them, Eureka 7, I think the whole ppl on the other side adopting him and really treating him like a son after he ran away, scenes with his grandpa would make me tear up (I was like 14/15 when I watched it so renton was very relatable, he was like me at 13, then by the end he grows and matured past me at the time after all the sht he went through) I really like how all the characters are written in that show, they actually have real emotions, change over time, feel real, hella diversity.

        For real. I gave that as an example, but I’ve probably gotten at least teary eyed most arcs at some point or another.

        Don’t honestly know what the first time would have been… perhaps it was the first pokemon movie?
