Hi, I’m looking for a show that will make me sad, angry or something like that. Some picks from shows that I have already seen:

• Angel Beats! - Didn’t care for it • Clannad • Anohana • Death Parade - Still get goosebumps • Kimi no Na wa • Shigatsu no Lion - I got so incredibly pissed off during that bullying arc (in a good way) • Koe no Katachi - Emotional rollercoaster

There’s probably a few more, but those come to mind. Do you have any more suggestions?

    Couple of people beat me to Violet Evergarden, which I maintain is my #1 pick for “you will NOT be okay” shows.

    BUT

    In a thread about “anime that will mess me up,” how has nobody beaten me to Grave of the Fireflies? HO-LY SHIT. If you don’t feel like your soul has been torn out and stomped on watching this movie, you straight up don’t have one.

    I’m surprised no one has mentioned ‘Rascal does not dream of Bunny Girl Senpai’ yet. It was a great ride of emotions right till the end.

    A Place Further Than The Universe is technically a slice of life…

    But damn does it have some moments that hit hard. Especially towards the end.

    As many suggested: Violet Evergarden. Other suggestions:

    • Hibike! Euphonium and Liz and the Blue Bird (spin off of the former) are very much an emotional anime to me
    • Steins;Gate
    • Madoka Magica
    • Maybe not typically what you’d call an emotional ride, but Land of the Lustrous
    • Shinsekai Yori
