Bittersweet anime that make you cry
Melancholy anime are bittersweet: they tell stories of love, friendship and saying goodbye, and they know exactly when to hit you. The mix of drama and romance creates stories you root for, suffer with and usually cry over at the end – but in a good, cathartic way.
If you're processing something yourself or just want to really feel something again, these series are exactly right. Keeping tissues nearby is strongly recommended. Find more matching titles in the list above or in the swipe deck.
