haven't watched a lot of shows that aren't anime so here are my recs:
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
Thank you for introducing me to Your Name. I just finished watching it. Absolutely wonderful film.
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.
Violet Evergarden is an incredible show about grief. But wow, is the movie sketchy as all hell.
How so
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.
Dear Ann.
Sorry about that
its on my watchlist too can't wait for my life to get less fucked up SO i can watch anime again TT
