Most of these anime should make you cry or just feel emotional. All of these anime are great if you want to have a good cry or just want a beautiful story.

All these romance shows will make you feel good in some way. Some might even make you cry.

Here you have some cool anime which have all (for sure) a hint of romance if they're not completely about romance xD

Most of them are 7/10 + So trust me those are good you won't be disappointed ( ´･･)ﾉ(._.`)

For the first six months of 2023, I will be watching ALL of the anime adaptations based on Key’s visual novels, because I don’t play that kinda stuff but I want to experience all of these stories anyways! Aside from February, April and June, as February also has whatever I can watch of Clannad, April has both Planetarian and Little Busters! and June has all three anime original series, one anime adaptation is watched a month. Began on January 16, 2023, and is currently ongoing.

This is my anime collection list that can me cry and sad. Hope you like it!

*Clannad is the best overall

A stack of animes which are set, fully or partially, in the late'90s and early-to-mid 2000s, so somewhere between 1997 and 2007, roughly.

Most of these animes share the same nostalgic vibe for that era and naturally replace smartphones with old mobile phones, modern computers with white CRT monitors and Internet Explorer, and the flashy colorful and dynamic cities of today with the grayer, blocky feeling of this era.

This list is for extra entries that were not included in the main list, such as anime sequels and alternative anime adaptions. Go to the main list below for full details:
