Anime fans have weighed in on the one-shot movies they believe to have made them shed the most tears through its depressing sequence of events, the ravaged wartime setting of a legendary classic managing to best a more modern film.

some of these i still need to watch but the ones on this list i did see almost got me but didnt cry great movies though
Grave of Fireflies is just overrated, pity the little girl but the boy is just simply too proud and egoistic.
It was indeed sad when I watched it during my naive younger day but as I rewatch the whole thing again it just doesn’t feel the same anymore.
Pride and honor wouldn’t feed you, he should just get a job or help around while staying with his aunt.
Served Japan right for all they did, yet Germany was the one who got the Nuremberg Kangaroo courts.
He grew up in a country that pushed imperialistic ideals on younger generations, the movie simply showed us how pitiful living during that time was.
Their country worshiped their Emperor as a literal god for so long. Not the memes with Trump, Hirohito is their actual God, until his replacement.
This was japan after they had just been nuked, had all of their infrastructure destroyed, and were still reeling from a long and costly war. There werent any jobs available for adults much less kids. It would be like looking at the great depression in the US or the potato famine in Ireland and just telling them all they are lazy for not working.
Leaving the aunt is a big problem but it was mostly done as a lampshade on the general ideology of japan at the time. Be self sufficient. Hold your head high. Persevere. And like japan that pride bit them in the ass in the end. He is proud and egotistic for a reason and that is the entire point of the movie.
Pride – that’s the whole point. He even had money in a savings account but wouldn’t touch it because he felt he had to provide for his “family” by his own efforts. Mamoru Oshii understood this movie, it’s about incest.
Main character got interviewed and he said he didn’t feel anything when his sister died.
Nothing sad about a cartoon where you can visit your ancestors after they immediately die.
Kimi no Nawa only 6th. What witchcraft has cursed this?
Ive only watch Grave of Fireflies once and I cant bring my self into watching again
