I have several, but if I must pick one, it’s A Place Further Than The Universe. Interestingly, it’s simultaneously the happiest, too.
It wasn’t the case at first, but when I rewatched it, I was purely, emotionally devastated.
Madoka was pretty bleak at times.
Some might disagree, but I thought “Your Name” was sad.
Clannad After Story, Liz and the Blue Bird, Phantom: Requiem for a Phantom, Violet Evergarden, A Silent Voice.
LOOK BACK was pretty dang sad, but it’s one of the only 10/10 anime I’ve ever seen.
Dororo (2019) is also up there.
My kneejerk reaction to the question is “Grave of the Fireflies”.
Ditto. I like a lot of sad stuff and that is just another level.
It really is in a class all its own. I don’t think I could ever watch it again.
I haven’t been able too either, ~17 years later. I honestly feel like it gave me PTSD.
Oh mate, clannad was sad
Clannad, after story, and then your lie in april.
Your Lie in April. Easiest choice I’ve ever had to make.
this one made me really sad for a long time
Next Stop Anime Postpartum Depression

All of the anime mentioned above are honestly great🤌 please consider giving any of them a watch if you’re bored🤗
Man I didn’t think anyone else watched C
There are three of us!
I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. The only anime that made me cry.
Your Lie in April and Angel Beats! both crushed me 😭
What’s the deal with angel beats? I watched it and I just don’t get it
Not overall sad but had moments that absolutely wrecked me.
Elfen Lied
Listen to Me Girls, I’m Your Father
A Silent Voice
Your Name
Cowboy BeBop
Bang…
See you, Space Cowboy
*cries
A silent voice
It’s been 20ish years but the name that sprang up to mind was Now and Then, Here and There. I don’t remember much except it was pretty bleak and sad.
I don’t usually watch sad stuff so Welcome to the NHK is probably the saddest I’ve seen.
Your lie in april
