The Big Three refers to three very long and very popular anime, Naruto, Bleach and One Piece. The Big Three was a term used to describe the three most popular running series during their golden age in Jump's mid 2000s period - One Piece, Naruto and Bleach.
10 Angel Beats. Angel Beats takes place in a limbo-type afterlife, and the characters are all deceased teenagers who passed away with unfinished business. Initially masquerading as a comedic slice-of- (after)life anime with supernatural elements, in time, the show dives into the trauma various characters faced in life.
The movie involves difficult choices, time paradoxes, and no small amount of lost love. The unexpected shift in tone is only part of what makes Rascal Does Not Dream Of A Dreaming Girl such a tear-jerker.
Sequel to the acclaimed slice-of-life anime Clannad , Clannad After Story follows it's high school characters into adulthood. What comes next is a series of joys, self-discoveries, and devastating disappointments.
At just 13 episodes, Angel Beats doesn't quite live up to its full tragic potential. It doesn't give the audience enough time to really know the characters or their pain. However, many anime fans can cite Angel Beats as their first "sad anime.".
A masterwork of colors and music, Your Lie In April explores how tragedy can unfold under our noses and why that's not an excuse to stop living. Kousei is a piano prodigy who suffers from a devastating mental block after losing his mother to a terminal disease.
Music and loss are at the heart of the series. The time someone has with their loved ones is limited. Like a song, it will be over before they know it. But we never forget the melody.
While some sad anime only claim tears during the last episode, Naruto succeeds in marking its audience ugly cry all the way through.
Basically the (superior) anime equivalent of Adam Sandler's 50 First Dates, One Week Friends shows the difficulties of making friends, or falling in love, when your memory doesn't last long enough to make lasting bonds. Kaori's amnesia affects not only her, but her well-meaning classmates as well. People who had a hard time fitting in in school will find this sad, yet hopeful anime especially relevant.
The anime, Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (Your Lie in April), explores life, the importance of love and friendship, and the joy of music. Arima Kousei is a young piano prodigy. His mother's death causes intense psychological trauma that prevents him from playing the piano, or from hearing music the same way. An encounter with the talented violinist, Miyazono Kaori, begins to slowly set him back on the path to music. This one has heartbreaking illness, beautiful character relationships, and music. This series was a wake-up call from the anime industry saying ‘I’m still here, and I’m still a beautiful thing.’
The girls in Haibane Renmei resemble angels, but it's unclear what they really are. All we know is that one day, cocoons appear in the Old Home, and sooner or later a child or young adult pops out of it. Rakka is the newest addition to the grey winged family, and through her eyes you'll see what it's like to be one of the grey-winged living on the outskirts of a human village. Like other shows in this list, Haibane Renmei covers mortality, guilt, and the journey of moving on from past traumas.
AnoHana (The Flower We Saw That Day) features broken characters whose past mistakes create an unbearable burden. The story centers around a group of friends in their teenage years. A tragic accident separates them. They spend their days trying to shake off individual guilt. The characters' intense emotions tug the core of your heart and don't let go til the very end! After you watch this anime, just hearing the ending song will bring you to tears!
On the surface, Nana is a charming, funny show about two girls who are complete opposites, and rock music! And it is about these things, to some extent. However, it soon becomes apparent that this show digs much deeper than exploring the powerful friendship the two Nana's share, and having an awesome soundtrack. Humans are imperfect, and everyone carries luggage of their own, and that's what Nana highlights. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and maybe you'll even clench your fists in frustration. Nana is a must-watch not just for music fans or shoujo lovers, but for anyone who loves great character writing.
All twelve year old Mitsuki wants to do is become a singer so she can see her one true love again, but she only has one year left to live. With the help of Takuto and Meroko, two messengers of death, she tries to make the most of her time on Earth. Although this is a shoujo anime, its themes about first love, dreams, and mortality at such a young age are sure to touch anyone's heart!
Featuring the first anime appearance of Mewtwo, it tells the story of how he invites a group of Pokemon trainers including Ash to an uninhabited island to allegedly do battle with him. What follows are some of the most touching scenes between pokemon and trainer you'll see anywhere in the series. I'm crying a little just thinking about it!

In Japan, the series has been collected into six bound volumes published by Shinshokan. An English-language translation is published by Viz Media under their SuBLime imprint, with the first volume released in February 2020.
Given ( Japanese: ギヴン Hepburn: Givun; stylized in all lowercase) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Natsuki Kizu. It has been serialized in the bimonthly manga magazine Chéri+ since 2013, and has been collected into six tankōbon volumes by Shinshokan. The series follows a group of four students in an amateur rock band, and the dual romantic relationships that form among them: between electric guitarist Ritsuka Uenoyama and vocalist Mafuyu Satō, and between bassist Haruki Nakayama and drummer Akihiko Kaji.
Akihiko asks Haruki to be his boyfriend, which Haruki accepts.
The band names itself "Given", in tribute to the guitar given by Yūki to Mafuyu. Mafuyu tells Ritsuka that he loves him.
Given is roughly divided into two major story arcs. The first arc , which focuses primarily on the relationship between Ritsuka and Mafuyu, follows the formation of the band and the lead-up to their first live performance. The second arc, which focuses primarily on the relationship between Akihiko and Haruki, follows the band as they prepare for their first music festival.
Mafuyu's childhood friend and boyfriend, who died from suicide prior to the events of the series and appears only through flashbacks. Though Yūki's outgoing and impulsive personality was in stark contrast to Mafuyu's shyness, they bonded over their common background as latchkey kids from single-parent homes, and eventually became lovers. A falling out between the two led Yūki to drink heavily and hang himself. Prior to his death, Yūki played guitar in a band with Hiiragi and Yagi.
Given: Uragawa no Sonzai, an original animation DVD (OAD), is set to be released on December 1, 2021, bundled with the manga's seventh volume.
Once again, Given is a special show which combined realistic depiction, romance, music. I enjoyed this show from start to finish. Youth doesn't know what will happen. Cherish time. Don't destroy bonds with your friends. Live each day to the fullest. That's all adults like me can say at the moment. Never give up on anything. If one does that, you should see your most important mind. Enjoy yourself.
you that Given is perhaps one of the most realistic series I've ever seen. Would you believe me?
The characters are all one-note and absolutely bland. The entire casts just feels so uninteresting and their personalities don't even feel compelling. The worst part is the way they handled the designs, which are literally just Haikyuu rip-offs, which absolutely downgrades the series even more because they couldn't even be bothered to make original designs and literally copied the same hairstyles and faces from Haikyuu, at least create your own designs man.
Given is probably one of the best adaptations of a Boys Love manga out there. I can say this with confidence despite the fact that I have only seen the first 4 episodes. (WARNING: may contain spoilers). Also, this is a review from the perspective of a huge Given manga fan.
Minus elements are some unnecessary comedic scenes and very slow-paced. I wanted to reduce the former more. Atmospheres become unbalanced. The latter can't be helped due to the original story. Actually just right pacing. Don't worry. This show is never boring. Whether you can come this show's particular style is the most important thing. The greater part is the main characters' dialogues. Maybe the male audience also enjoys it. So am I.
In the same way (as @RebelPanda puts it), (also budding managaka) Natsuki Kizu's Given treads along that EXACT SAME path: "it is NOT a romance, but rather, a self-realization love story." But more than that, it's not just about the good times, but also the bad times, where letting go past hurts and moving on reeks of more damaging and hurting to the soulless human spirit.
Given is a revolution of the BL genre. I still don't watch many genres shows so far though, some titles are very nice. This show is no exception, too. The plot is so simple. Mafuyu Satou enters Rock band and getting better and better in every way. He must gain life experience while facing his past. Mafuyu's past is very dark. No One Knows. You can understand Mafuyu's feelings by watching this show. It's not just a youth story. A true core bond. Ritsuka Uenoyama is a symbol of that. However, he isn't the
