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?
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.
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.
I have to confess that I’ve cried more with anime than traditional movies.
I cannot watch grave if the fireflies again. I have only seen it once
