    LOOK BACK always hits me right in the feels. Just a really sad story about losing a friend, but does it do a good job of showing just how much was lost! A great watch; highly recommended if you can find 50 minutes to spare.

    I’d say Gurren Lagann. I mean, it doesn’t evoke the same amount of raw emotion as Grave of the Fireflies (because I don’t think anything does), but . . . well. You’ve just gotten past the final fight, and everyone’s celebrating, and . . . then that wedding, and the closing part of the framing scene. It’s like a punch in the gut, and it absolutely makes sense in the context of the story. That was not easy to pull off.

    Certain episodes of Violet Evergarden fit. Majorly the 10th one.

    I haven’t watched I wanna eat your pancreas, just read the manga. But from what I heard, its a faithful and good adaption.

    The first two seasons of Hell Girl are excellent.

    It’s an episodic series about people contracting a supernatural force to get revenge. Lots and lots of tragedy ensues.

    Want to add last love song saikano. Really hit me hard.

    dont watch it unless you are mentally ok. Its crippling sad. I remember really enjoying it and then being in the dumps for a bit. A friend of mine didn’t believe me, started, and knew what I ment when the subber put “stop here if you want happy ending” at like espiode 6 and then didnt come out of room for a few days after finishing.

    Made in abyss is also a tragedy i cant stop watching. Really messed up show that only gets worse.

    The promised neverland. The anime was tragic, but the manga storywriting was very good.
