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?

Pokemon: The First Movie back in 1998.
As a husband to a spouse with chronic medical issues and kids who share them, Clannad destroyed me.
Probably Gintama, I don’t know exactly at what point. I definitely remember watching Gintoki vs Takasugi and having to rewind because I couldn’t see shit through my tears.
Violet Evergarden. Specifically, the episode with the mother and daughter.
Made me think of this little edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOCPSk9tx5A
Always brings me almost back to tears every time i watch it.
That season was brutal with The Place Further Than The Universe having similar themes for their episode on the same week. I went in expecting some slice of life joy after being destroyed by Violet Evergarden, only to be destroyed yet again.
Episode 10. I didn’t (but almost) cried on the first watch. Rewatching it broke me.
eva. basic, but true
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.
Grave of the Fireflies
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.
Probably some others I’m forgetting.
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

Fruits Basket. “Rice ball!”
Hard to remember them, Eureka 7, I think the whole ppl on the other side adopting him and really treating him like a son after he ran away, scenes with his grandpa would make me tear up (I was like 14/15 when I watched it so renton was very relatable, he was like me at 13, then by the end he grows and matured past me at the time after all the sht he went through) I really like how all the characters are written in that show, they actually have real emotions, change over time, feel real, hella diversity.

I feel like it had to be earlier tho, cant be the first time I got emotional over anime, bet it was digimon or the pokemon movie where pikachu seems dead or whatever
fk couldve been yugioh, I loved yugis grandpa, done sent him to the shadow realm
Saikano.
guy i know watch it cause i said it messed me up. Dude was locked in for 4 days afterwards… seriously I liked it but my God thst show breaks you down. Only show i watched where fan subber said stop here if you want happy ending. That was like episode 5.
I also cried at Saikano… my friend told me I would, and I’m like “nah I never cry”
I was wrong.
Can’t say for sure as my memory is not the best, but the first anime I remember me crying was the No Game No Life movie. The most recent (even if this is already a while ago) was Planetarian - Storyteller of the Stars.
And the first anime-related content which made me cry was the finale of the visual novel Corona Blossom (which was also my fist VN and has a special place in my heart).

Grave of the Fireflies
Same same.
I just found this looking for people to talk to about that stupid octopus. Guess I’m not one to cry anymore. Not more than a sparkle, at least.
What hit me hard was the end of Fushigi Yuugi: The Mysterious Play. I don’t even remember any one episode, and seeing the artwork brings me a total blank.
