I’m a 29 year old guy who has never cried from watching a Hollywood movie, show, and generally doesn’t cry at all. Even at funerals I’ve been able to hold it together.
But for some reason, anime can make me fucking let loose a torrent from my eyes. I think it’s because I know it’s not just an actor, but a character who is original and exists for the sole purpose of conveying a story. Whatever the reason is, it feels damn good to cry and I CANT STOP subjecting myself to these movies and shows now.
For the longest time I was a strict action anime watcher. “Romance and slice of life? Fuck that shit” was my mentality. Then a certain death in Naruto made cry like a bitch, and I’ve been chasing it ever since.
I blasted through all the classic sad movies a long time ago and have recently found new emotion in watching just straight up romance anime after giving Kaguya-sama try. I just finished Jesee, the Tiger and the Fish about 10 minutes ago and still haven’t collected myself. I’m addicted to getting in my feels now, and anime is my vice.
EDIT: Thank you for all the suggestions! I’ve seen a lot but there is also a lot that I haven’t and I’m adding them all to my list! 🙂
