I want to watch a movie that will make me cry.

(Because I need those endorphins to help me with depression. I feel better after a good session of crying. Sorry if this is weird…)

    haven’t watched a lot of shows that aren’t anime so here are my recs:

    1. Your name (movie, its really really good)
    2. A silent voice (movie, same as your name)
    3. Your lie in april (tv series, apparently really good at making you cry but haven’t watched it)
    4. Anohana: The flower we saw that day (tv series, same as your lie in april)

    your name and a silent voice have really good animation btw

    i almost cried during weathering with you which is a movie in the same universe as your name but it isn’t as emotional as your name ig

      Can confirm Your Lie In April made me cry like a baby. But I would say anime wise Violet Evergarden was even more cathartic. I ugly cried more than once watching it.

            spoiler

            Violet starts a romantic relationship with, and is implied to eventually marry, Gilbert, her former commanding officer in the military who was also her father figure, Violet having been a war orphan that Gilbert took in when she was 10. Violet was a child soldier from the ages of 10 to 14, at which time the war ended. Gilbert had faked his death at the end of the war because he had developed romantic feelings for Violet. Gilbert is 11 years older than her. By the time of the movie, Violet is 18 and Gilbert is 29, but he was in love with her when he was 25 and she was 14, and probably before that. This is portrayed as a romantic and happy ending.

            It also goes against the show’s themes and messages about grief and moving on, but the above thing tends to overshadow that.
