Watched this for a class in college, everyone in the room professor included was bawling out loud. This is great for a good cleansing cry.
FreshWater13
I was promised a cry-fest for this movie, but it didn't make me cry, it just made me really angry.
ElMantishrimp
Not just one of the saddest anime I've seen, but one of the saddest movies I've seen. Period.
Einhander696
The first time I saw this was in my Japanese Film and Theater class in my first year of college. There wasn't a dry eye in the room.
DuckMasterTheBaron
Best and saddest movie ever
grumbleghoul
This film utterly destroyed me. It hurt me on a level I didn't know existed. 10/10 would recommend. 0/10 would re-watch.
Axelord
"The best movie I never want to see again," I think, is the way I once put it.
BaileysSoCloseYourEyesGetWet
That is the best way to describe it.
sbow242
Ever seen dear Zachary, I think it's worse
Thecynicalspud
Saddest fucking thing I've seen.
elmarciano
I agree this is an amazing movie and story. I can honestly say 100% that this movie is the only one to ever bring me close to tears. Amazing
Dyslexicbirch
Oh god ive seen it once and ill never do that to myself again
brassfist
I tried watching this a few times. I couldn't get into it.
DeepFriedTamales
It's the Schindler's List of anime.
unicorninmypants
Awesome movie. Very sad.
LukeKarr22
NO. FUCK THAT MOVIE. I'm all down for a good cry movie (hello, Interstellar) but this is just punishment.
KyrosXIII
Ridiculously good. And sad. Watched this twice years apart. Cried twice, years apart. +1
MakeItSoDaddyo
I'm torn about whether or not I wanna put myself through this..
It's an amazing film, but it will rip out your heart and stomp it into the dust.
dhelsan
Don't watch it if you have a happy/fun activity afterwards that day. It fucks you up, BUT it's definitely a great experience.
GeezMomEnlightenUp
Once. It's worth it, but never again.
Musubi626
Give it a chance... The story is really good
jtays
I really hope you watch it. It's so good even though it's devastating. It's kind of a Schindler's List type movie, really sad but so good.
ImDrinkingAgain
You know what's the worst? It's based on a real story.
PraiseTitties
You...you stop that right now
ZzzombieeZ
I cried randomly for two days after watching this film...
LordBrandonTheBold
This is one of the best pieces of film making I have ever seen. I don't know if I will ever watch it again.
Veggisaurus
Exactly. It's that heart wrenchingly beautiful.
PrivateIsotope
Good way to put it.
Thanks guys, my cereal tastes much better with tears.
spiceass9000
I gotta watch it again ne
SassySEVhatespantsAlways
Sobbed as a teen would probably die if I watch it now as a mom. Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 had me bawling for hours
JohnMagneTrane
The Japanese sure now how to use emotion in their art. Agree about both the movie and the series.
NevynPA
Agree. Wholeheartedly.
gewalt
I will absolutely not ever watch it again. but I am so glad I watched it once.
VioletDaisy
Ditto. Breathtakingly gorgeous, heartbreakingly sad.
AssamLaksa
I watched it one time. That's enough for a lifetime.
GunLovingTreeHugger
I watched it 10 years ago and still makes me sad. I have kids now... No way am I watching that now....
SatanBakes
I think this is on the hard drive I have. Somebody told me it was sad so I still have yet to actually watch it.
saying this movie is sad is like saying the heat death of the universe would be pretty cool
I was told it's the saddest thing, but honestly I only teared up a bit, but mostly it just made me really angry
It's worth it. But only once.
triplegay
You would not believe your eyes...
zombiekiller0
NOT AGAIN!
kepler20c
Nah, I think I'll go watch Now and Then, Here and There instead.
lifeisapicnic
Not only one of the best films I've seen but one of the best narratives ever too. Such a sad, pure story
SilenceShaded
Once was enough. Thank you.
KTscrewoff
My mom thought all anime was for kids... I was 8 years old when she picked this up for me at Blockbuster. Thanks for the therapy mom
DONT WATCH THIS MOVIE!
Rubydubydew
Dat movie...
definitely watch this movie. cry for weeks after, and never regret a second.
I say everyone should watch it once its so beautiful but so heart renching
Ezzybells
I've owned it for years and still haven't watched it for this reason. One day...
Burn it, dude. Burn it.
samterday
Nah, that movie made me actually sad for a few days after. Well made but, damn
DorthLous
ABSOLUTELY WATCH THIS MOVIE! Especially if you find that you can justify the nuclear bombs, you need to watch it.
If I recall well, the movie doesn't show anything that has to do with the nukes. Only the 'Tokyo Fires.'
crankyoldgeezer
I have never cried to any movie as I did to this one. Incredible it's just a cartoon.
Mimsey
Judging a work by its media is pretty silly. Would Starry Night be any less beautiful in crayon? Hell, it already looks like crayon.
good point! for many of us older folks it can seem shocking that a media like this could evoke such feelings. but your analogy is perfect!
Moerrrlin
I think because a cartoon has to be made from scratch instead of making people shaping themselfes in a role gives the option to display 1/2
emotions and personalities an a whole different level 2/2
oh that's interesting. like the director's vision is less affected by the performance of the actor. is that what you mean?
In a way yes :) It is not only the performence of the actor but often what is even humanly possible. Animating gives you direct control.
Amazing results!
