    Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. So like 10 minutes ago I finished watching Koe No Katachi also Known as "The Shape Of Voice"
    I really loved that movie and thought it was absolutely beautiful. I loved how it dealt with depression, suicide, but also hope and friendship.
    I have also watched Your Name. I also really enjoyed this movie.
    So basically I am looking for similar movies/series that take you on an emotional roller coaster.

    Research List
    • Byousoku 5 Centimeter
    • Kotonoha no Niwa
    • Orange
    • Ao Haru Ride
    • Aoi Bungaku
    • Kokoro ga Sakebitagatterunda
    • Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai.
    • Clannad: After Story
    • Hotarubi no Mori e

    In other words, something to destroy my heart and soul.

    Leave a synopsis too. Plz

    The synopsis for orange:

    ORANGE explores an alternate universe where protagonist Naho Takamiya and her friends keep their new friend, Kakeru Naruse, alive. The story unfolds through several letters written by the past selves of Kakeru’s surviving friends. Unfortunately, the reality of this emotional anime is that Kakeru takes his own life. Consequently, his friends experience immense guilt and regret, blaming themselves for his death. In this way, we feel empathy for the friends and we are more invested in their mission to save him. The letters are meant to “prevent” his suicide and they are able to create an alternate timeline where they succeed.
    In following them on this mission, we witness a wholesome bond develop between this circle of friends. We watch them grow as individuals together. In both lamenting over Kakeru’s death and fighting to keep him alive, the group learns a lot in two different universes. In one world, we watch them learn to forgive themselves. We realize that the letters serve as a form of grief and as a means of healing. In the other, we see how their trust builds and flourishes. Here, the letters help them care for Kakeru and their care and sympathy towards each other grows.
    With some series, you win some or you lose some, yet we seem to get both in ORANGE. Moreover, in being able to witness both parallel universes unfolding at the same time, the resulting emotional toll doubles for us. ORANGE both celebrates and memorializes life, and tells a beautiful story of what is and what could have been.

    Hal.

    Kurumi is a beautiful young woman whose beloved boyfriend, Hal, died in a sudden airplane accident. Left heartbroken and gloomy, she isolates herself in a small house. But this soon comes to change when her grandfather requests the help of a humanoid robot named Q01.

    Taking on the appearance of Hal, Q01 is sent to Kurumi's house in order to save her from her state of despair. As Hal returns day after day and increases his efforts, Kurumi, despite her initial reluctance, slowly begins to open up to him and break free from her depression. But there is more to Hal than meets the eye, and these two will soon learn an unexpected truth about this relationship between a human and an android.

    Most ghibli movies wil destroy your heart so pick your movie from them, nevertheless I will recommend that you watch this:
    Grave of the Fireflies
    you will cry till your eyes bleed and your heart will be so sad and will continue to be sad (even if you try your best to get over it and forget the movie) each time the movie's name is mentioned (Believe me, it is like a curse :blob_teary:)

Natsume who had ghost vision had been chased by youkai and was scared of them since young found the book during high school. Using it, he finally sees the youkais for who they really are(and their sad story) and became their friend.
    Also, he has a fat cat sensei.

    Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu. The saddest anime I've ever watched. It's a sci-fi romance

    A summary won't tell you anything but I'll add once since you asked:

    Asaba Naoyuki is an ordinary high school student. As a member of his school's press club, he's just spent the summer camping outside the local military base, in hopes of seeing the UFOs that are secretly kept there, according to local legend. Returning to school, he meets a strange girl, Iriya Kana, and gradually comes to realize that she is more than merely strange - and that a dark secret lies beneath the world that he knows.
