Frieren mourning Himmel's death shows us why most Elves see humans as mayflies and never form attachments with mortal races.

I don't cry very easily, but Frieren broke me after THAT scene. Atsumi Tanezaki's performance is incredible there.

To your eternity first episode is a masterpiece.

Frieren crying after Himmel died broke me. Despite everything, she really enjoyed her time with him and wish she had the chance to know him better. She still has fond memories of their travels but the pain still remains.

I remember Yu Yu Hakusho gave me the very first cry on Episode 1. Where Yosuke saved a child and get hits by a vehicle and ended up dying, thinking no one will mourn for him and he accepts his death. Only to realized there are family and friends who did.

I still hold this thought. Out of all the animes that got screwed over in this years awards. It was Frieren, the anime is a masterclass in story telling, heart string pulling, action adventuring, world/character building, and loveable goofballs all rolled into one.

The first episode of Naruto, the scene where Iruka acknowledged him as a Konoha's ninja were really touching and made me weep

Pluto. The first episode is practically a short film. A bitter old man who is prejudice against the robots he lives with, who lost his love for writing music. Over the course of the episode the robot learns to be more than just a tool for killing through music, the old man learns to care for the robot while also rediscovering love for music and the truth about his mother whom he despised. The ending of that episode absolutely broke me.

Ai’s death in episode one of Oshi no Ko shattered both my heart and my mind. 😭😭😭💔💔💔 It’s even more painful because adored her. She was so sweet and cheerful.

I would add "Angel Beats" here. Maybe at the first episode you don´t cry but the story dont take much time to get you emotional and end up in tears.

Sousou no Frieren - Learning that Frieren will long outlive her party members, will definitely make you sad, but it does teach us to value the time we have with the people we care about. 🙇🏿‍♂️🧝🏼‍♀️

When I first heard about Violet Evergarden, I was told multiple times to not binge it because I will get dehydrated from how much I'll cry. So one summer, I tuned into Netflix and, of the 13 episodes, I watched roughly two-to-three a day and felt the heartbreak every time (especially episode 10). Then, when it came to the specials and the movies, it was the epitome of bittersweet. Seriously, Kyoto Animations did amazing with that series. They know how to tug on your heart strings, but I still think its crazy this is the same studio that made Miss Kobayashi, another series I love but is so much more comedic and slice of life (a genre the studio excels at, for the record)

To quote a line from a true immortal on B5: “To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received.”

To your eternity sure has to be the number 1 in this category of anime. The whole first season was one hell of a rollercoaster 😭

Somali and the Forest Spirit really tore me up, it’s so sweet and feels like a coming of age fantasy but more like what it means to be a parent. Something about that is so poetic.

The troubled life of miss Kotoura first ep hit me like a truck. That dog scene in the rain and her yelling at the sky had me in tears. And I don't cry easy.

The fact Frieren didn't cry because he passed on but because she felt guilt in not filling/leave a mark in Himmel's life completely broke me but it broke me even more because Himmel was happy with the time he spent with her.

Oshi no Ko's first episode is a masterpiece to the point the show suffers from the Up syndrome, having a beginning so perfect that what follows next is not as good

I didn’t think Your Lie in April would be here. I was so surprised when it popped up. By far my favorite anime. I’ve seen it three time now and cried each time. Next closest for me is Violet Evergarden. Edit: Ok so I wrote my comment right after Your Lie in April popped up. I didn’t realize I had forecasted my second favorite anime. And apologies for the spoilers.
