The Anime may very well be a metaphor for modern life. : )
Surprised no one has mentioned these movies:
- 5 Centimeters per Second
- Voices of a Distant Star
- The Place Promised in Our Early Days
If the art doesn’t break you the feels will definitely crush you.
If you’re looking more for a series try:
- Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu
- Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien
- Nagi no Asukara (personal favorite)
Did you watch Rizelmine? =3
o lol. ummm
you can try watching
Ookami Shoujo Ame to Yuki
it might not exactly be a tear jerking tear jerker emotional thing
but its really well made. I cried.
I cant really remember any other anime tho. other than anohana and stuff. bc i cry a lot.
