Well this is kind of the opposite, but I didn’t cry in after story, not that I didn’t find it sad. when Nagisa died I was shocked of course, but not upset, and when Ushio died I found it really predictable and not sad at all. weirdly enough I found After story, which is considered the best season of clannad, boring for most part, except for when Tomoya was still at school. (spoiler of what the plot of After Story is mainly about) Him growing up with Nagisa, marrying her, getting her pregnant and getting the job, along with him going depressive and etc. was really plain and boring to me. I enjoyed the backstory of his father and Yusuke Yoshino but other than that… That being said, I nearly cried when (Kotomi Spoiler) Kotomi cried out to her parents, shit that, and her innocence and how you can’t help but love her character, it gets to you ahaha but I didn’t cry. Same deal with how (little busters spoiler) Mio disappearing, shit that sense of lose of identity and then Riki ‘fighting’ for her, and even him crying . I seem to have a habit of getting attached to, well, they’re not supporting characters, but they’re not main characters either.
Another confession is I didn’t cry (angel beats - the anime though, not the vn or manga - spoiler) when Kanade disappeared. infact I was pretty pissed off by how she didn’t confess her love back (I watched dubbed, idk about sub), she just thanked Otonashi as if the whole thing was just a way of her showing her appreciation. that being said, I went a bit off topic and if you want to argue about that, go ahead and message me or quote this into a new thread (or already existing).
Because of how sad these scenes are, and how I never cried, I kinda feel as if I have a cold heart or my eye ducts just don’t work (please don’t take me serious when I say I have a cold heart ahaha) because it’s not just these anime, but so many more, and books, and westerns films, even vocaloids and songs.
