Violet Evergarden

I also made this recommendation in Kanon. The reason is that... Well, it is a much better drama than the ones that are from the "KEY studio" that I've seen so far...
There is actual emotional heaviness, a development in the characters and a focused history.
If you are interested in dramatic anime, you should watch this title.

Both anime have a protagonist going on a journey of self exploration, both anime are very emotional and are both beautifully done by Kyoto Animation.
Two beautifully-animated coming-of-age stories about rediscovering oneself and finding a purpose in life through bringing happiness to others.
Both animes have beautiful visuals and incredible soundtracks, and it's simply hard not to fall for each character as you get to know their stories. Anyone who likes melodrama will inevitably love both Violet Evergarden and Clannad.

Both will make you cry your eyes out. I teared up near every episode of violet evergarden and clannad just gets you whenever you reach an emotional scene. violet evergarden is sad due to the shear emotions expressed by the characters the main character is introduced to while clannad is sad due to the relationship between the two main characters and their situation. both worth watching if you wanna tear up.
