Looking for something that takes me on an emotional ride (sh.itjust.works)

Hi, I’m looking for a show that will make me sad, angry or something like that. Some picks from shows that I have already seen:

• Angel Beats! - Didn’t care for it • Clannad • Anohana • Death Parade - Still get goosebumps • Kimi no Na wa • Shigatsu no Lion - I got so incredibly pissed off during that bullying arc (in a good way) • Koe no Katachi - Emotional rollercoaster

There’s probably a few more, but those come to mind. Do you have any more suggestions?

Wait, Angel Beats! was sad? I mean, it had some moments but it wasn't really something I would consider incredibly emotional.

I guess if you're looking for something with similarly sad moments, I'd recommend (if you haven't already seen them):

AKIRA
Chobits
Charlotte
DNA^2
Heaven's Lost Property (including the movies, though Eternal My Master is pretty different from the source material, unlike the other movie and both seasons)
Jin-Roh (the original, not the 2019 Korean live action adaptation)
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (don't skip the Endless Eight Arc, coward)

Yeah it’s more like you said, it has its sad moments. I’ve read that it made people cry, so that’s why I included it. Thanks for the list, I haven’t seen most of those
