Hotarubi no Mori e

r/shoujo · Recommend a tear breaking anime like this

Air, Kanon, and Clannad are all really sad and all Key visual novel adaptations (and have a similar art style) Other sad shoujo: -Full Moon O Sagashite -Violet Evergarden -Hotarubi no Mori e (movie) -Banana Fish (Suprised this isnt Josei? It covers very serious topics but it's gut wrenching) -Fruits Basket -Bokura Ga Ita (I think I remember this was sad) Not shoujo/josei but still really sad: -Angel Beats -Ano Hana -Haibane Renmei -Chronos Crusade -Grave of the fireflies

“Hotarubi no Mori e (2011)”still makes me sad and frustrated thinking about it. If you’re open to manga: “Absolute Boyfriend” is >!mostly lighthearted but the ending made me cry!<. I don’t think “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006)” has a demographic but it made me sad regardless. Tbh a lot of the sadder romance ones like Clannad itself aren’t shoujo but shounen or seinen like “I want to eat your pancreas” or “Plastic Memories” or “Angel Beats”.
