Animemes

i haven't seen pancreas, belle, or little busters, but I differently like everything on that list. it's funny how these shows impact people differently.

to me your lie in April is one of the less sad ones on the list. to me that show is more about acceptance and moving on. maybe it's because I've never dealt with anyone with a terminal illness like that. my nurse friend adored violet evergarden, but didn't find your lie sad to AT ALL. she simply dissociated herself from the sadness of terminal illness so she can do her job. the show was just boring to her.

I personally find a silent voice to be the saddest of those. a big part of that for me is the voice acting and the way they convey emotion, but also the way the story slowly escalates the emotional scenes from a quiet admission to a shaky angry scream or whatever. i think I also find the characters to be more believable than many anime with that large of a cast. not so much in that they act more like real people, but i find their circumstances and the ways react to them to feel... almost insightful?
