I’ll confess I’ve never given anime a chance. I would usually just roll a bunch of doobies or whatever while all my buddies watched.
See “Grave of the Fireflies”. One of the most emotionally devastating films I’ve ever seen. I showed to a friend many years when I was living in Portland, OR - she was exceedingly cynical, and by the time the end credits rolled, she was a blubbering wreck.
