Kanon (2006)

All of these anime are tearjerks in their own merit, you might not cry at all of them, but all of these have a high potential to.

Your name / weathering with you isn't on here since I haven't watched them.

All anime connected with Key, Tactics, and Jun Maeda, only excluding One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e - True Stories, which is a hentai.

This stack is a collection of anime that are either set during winter or convey winter vibes (for example are set in a cold region with snow/ice).

Tags: Anime Winter Feel, Anime Winter Feeling, Anime Winter Theme, Anime Winter Vibes

Sometimes, you just want to see cute characters suffer.
I think I got a good amount of anime here. So, I'm closing suggestions for the stack unless the anime is from the Summer 2023 season or newer. If you have an anime that fits that, send me a message and I'll check it out.

My collection for romantic-comedy drama animes. This kind of formula is one of the major things in terms of romance. A pinched of humor and romance, but mostly it have the most dramatic element. Some of these animes are truly tearjerking and kinda frustrating to watch XD But these are my recommendations that you might give an interest.

Do you know who is the culprit when you burst out of tears when watching Clannad, Angel Beats, or Little Busters!? Yes. The one and only the baseball and romance chad, Jun Maeda. He's a storyteller, composer, and one of the members who founded Visual Key. His notable works were Clannad, Little Busters!, Air, Angel Beats, Charlotte, and more. Not only that, he is also one of the main composers of music that you can heard from his animes or VNs, as well as the OPs, EDs, and insert songs. He's the one who is responsible for making tear-jerking romance dramas, and made me cry like a child when I watched Clannad. And now, this is my collection and recommendation for his best and notable works of Jun Maeda.

We all know that Kyoto Animation has been important to us, wider audience. But unfortunately, a tragedy struck in the studio and caused many casualties and unintentional deaths of innocent lives. Kyoto Animation is known for its animation quality and comfortable story writing. Some of their works were various; comedy, romance, drama, action, and slice of life. Now, this is my collection of KyoAni's best works that touched many hearts.

This is a part of a series of stacks that are about artistic tendencies in anime (and that border the fine line between sophisticated and pretentious).

This stack is a work in progress.

Anime that are based on or around Christmas with the holiday as a main theme.
I'm not including anime with just one or two Christmas episodes.

One of the famous classic and popular seiyuus in Japan, and one of my main favorites. They formed a unit named, "Yamato Nadeshiko", in which they produced their singles. The two young maidens are actually best friends, affiliated to each other and at the same time, they are usually together in joining an anime. Their roles are best friends too! Is it just a coincidence? This is my collection of Yui Horie and Yukari Tamura's best joint animes!

Superb animation that we all love, from our dearest Kyoto Animation Studios.

Anime that focuses on slice of life with some supernatural elements

This is the best combination to ever exist.

Anime adaptations of various visual novels. Their total number is clearly more than the allowable limit, so I tried to add mainly adaptations of novels by well-known brands (Key, 5pb, Aquaplus), or those with well-known adaptations. Given the many sequels, spin-offs, and versions (especially in the case of the Fate series), I added only very first anime in the franchise.

These series will make you cry your heart out and you will love it, I swear
