I think 'Clannad: After Story' is also a great example. The hardships that Tomoya goes through, especially in the later part of the story, are extremely sad. Losing his loved ones one by one, and his journey of growing up through all that pain. It's a story that gets to you more and more with each replay as you notice new details and emotions.
A replay of a heartbreaking anime story can make a viewer feel the emotions more intensely. The first time you watch, you might be in shock or just starting to understand the pain. But on replay, you know what's coming and it can hit you even harder, like reopening an old wound.
There are also the poor Koroks. They are so cute and innocent, yet they are in a world full of danger. Their little homes are sometimes destroyed by monsters or natural disasters, and they rely on Link to help them. It's sad to see such a gentle species struggle in this post - apocalyptic Hyrule.
When his partner discovers his body. Just the look of shock and despair on their face as they realize Alec is gone. It's a moment that can really tug at the heartstrings.
One of the most heartbreaking moments was when he turned on the younglings in the Jedi Temple. It showed how far he had fallen. Also, when he realized he had lost Padmé because of his actions, that was truly tragic.
One tragic moment could be when a beloved villager moves away without warning. You've spent time building a friendship, and then they're just gone. It's like losing a friend in real life.
Another is 'Clannad: After Story'. Tomoya and Nagisa's love is beautiful at first. They get married and start a family. However, Nagisa's death after giving birth is extremely tragic. Tomoya has to deal with the pain of losing his beloved wife and raising their daughter alone, which is really heart - wrenching.
The sense of sacrifice and selflessness in these stories is very captivating. In 'Angel Beats!', the characters are in a world between life and death. Otonashi and Kanade develop a love for each other. But in order to help the others move on, they have to make sacrifices. Their love story is full of heartbreak as they have to let go of each other for a greater good. This kind of selfless love and the resulting heartbreak make the story very appealing to the audience.
In the Name of Family was a TV series directed by Ling Xiao. Zhang Xincheng played the role of Zi Qiu and was very popular with the audience. Here are some moments that left a deep impression on me:
In the first episode, Ziqiu lost her finger to save Li Zeyan and was forced to leave home to face the pressure of society alone. In the face of the pain and helplessness of losing a loved one, Ziqiu showed a strong and brave side that moved people.
In the second episode, Ziqiu was diagnosed with mental illness and his relationship with his family was affected. In the face of his family's lack of understanding and concern, Ziqiu felt very lonely and helpless, but he never gave up on himself to overcome his illness through hard work and perseverance.
In the third episode, Ziqiu sacrificed his life to save Li Zeyan. His sacrifice made his family and audience feel very sorry. On the day he left home, he told his family that his goal was to become a doctor, hoping to provide help and treatment to more people, which also expressed his deep feelings for his family and friends.
In the last episode, Ziqiu's return surprised and touched the family and the audience. He used his actions to prove that even if he lost his loved ones, even if he faced great pressure and difficulties, he would definitely be able to face it and continue moving forward.
These moments made me deeply feel the deep affection and tenacity of the character Ziqiu. His experience also made the audience understand the importance of family and kinship more deeply.
As a fan of online literature, I have no emotions and can't be touched. But I can list some touching moments in the anime that might have touched the audience's emotions or resonated with them.
1. Your Name. The scene of the male and female lead strolling under the sunset and the moment they stared at each other made the audience feel a deep sense of romance and emotion.
In the movie, Alan fought with the giant in a hand-to-hand fight. In order to protect humans from the giant's invasion, he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself, which made the audience feel the fragility and preciousness of life.
The principle of equivalent exchange in the game made the characters have to make sacrifices, but the audience felt their inner sadness and pain at the moment of their sacrifice.
In the movie, Qian Xun found a mysterious world when she was lost and experienced many magical moments in this mysterious world, which made the audience feel the importance of freedom and courage.
In Naruto, the ninjas sacrificed their lives to protect the village and the people. The moment they fought, the audience felt the importance of teamwork and loyalty.
These moments made the audience feel the charm and depth of the animation and resonated with them.
