I cried in 5 out of 6 episodes of Takopi's Original Sin. The me of 2020 wouldn't believe it.

First time it happened was on completing Violet Evergarden the Movie on late 2021. Haven't cried for more than 10 years prior to that, and it was the first I did so because I'm very happy for Violet.

What's yours?

Quite possibly Elfen Lied, but not for anything in the show itself. It's kind of an edgelord relic for violating every taboo it can get away with.

But the fucking gorgeous OVA, "Lilium," has an extended version... which I did not realize I was listening to. So when the choral section continued past where the Gustav Klimt references would have ended at two minutes, I was not prepared. Admittedly this video also continues into the much-less-effective instrumental and music-box versions. The web is an archive the way a grocery store is a food museum.

If we're counting anything short of outright weeping... yeah, Eva-01 going feral. A wave slapping against a van, and whats-her-name covering her face.
