Air. You'll cry your eyes out.Hey! I’m looking for some sad/nostalgic animes! Any recommendations? For the record I’ve seen: Orange, Erased, Clannad, Evangelion.
Thank you! I’ll look into them! I have seen 5 cm per second and Steins Gate as well (loved them, totally in my alley!)Air. You'll cry your eyes out.
"Goal!"
Not as cry-worthy as Clannad, but it's still originally by the same company (Key) and I think the same anime studio too (KyoAni). I like Kanon a lot more, but in terms of "sad" anime, Air is still much more tearjerking IMO.
I guess it really depends on how sad you wanna go, because I don't want to recommend you anything that just makes you feel depressed and drained ("Now and Then, Here and There", or "Grave of the Fireflies"), so I'm just recommending you stuff that makes you laugh and cry at the same time.
5 Centimeters per Seconds is pretty good too, but again, not as cry-worthy, more like a bittersweet romance.
Those titles are the usual go-to for tearjerking anime titles, but there are also non-traditional, non-drama anime like the sci-fi Steins;Gate and the shounen Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood that contain many, many tearjerking scenes, but aren't really like your typical Clannad and Angel Beats and Anohana (the former is full of goofy moments until the midpoint, and the latter... well, it's shounen, so there's lots of action scenes and megalomaniacal cheesy supervillains), so I'm not sure how much you'd like them.
Madoka Magica made me cry quite a bit too, but again, not really your traditional drama anime like Clannad. It's a magical girl anime, so there's lots of magic battles and stuff, not to mention just how dark and depressing it can get (not nearly as much as "Grave", but still), so it might not be your thing either. lol
Kanon, Anohana, and Angel Beats all made me cry lolHey! I’m looking for some sad/nostalgic animes! Any recommendations? For the record I’ve seen: Orange, Erased, Clannad, Evangelion.
Thanks! I’ve also seen Anohana and Your Lie in April will check the othersKanon, Anohana, and Angel Beats all made me cry lol
Apparently Your Lie in April is sad too but I haven't seen it.
I second several of the other recommendations you've gotten but wanted to add Violet Evergarden and To Your Eternity (Fumetsu no Anata e). Both are very moving and emotional anime that are high on my list of new favorites.Hey! I’m looking for some sad/nostalgic animes! Any recommendations?

I see Pierrot Le Fou. That's from episode 20. If they're going in order, that means Ed may be in there. Twitter has been having a fit about Ed.And there it goes, the most renowned anime often cited as the greatest anime ever existed (far more than Ghost in the Shell, yes), now a live action adaptation... yikes.
And yet, hey, that's pretty good. Cowboy Bebop's never really my favorite anime (BOO! Boo this man!), but this got me excited.
You sung along too when the theme song came in. Come on, admit it. So altogether now, 3 2 1, LET'S JAM!
