Mitsuha Miyamizu lives in the countryside of Japan and studies at a high school there. With only six months on his hands, the soul embarks on an unexpected journey learning the importance of second chances in the process. When he is reborn in the body of a 14-year-old suicide victim Makoto, the soul is tasked to figure out the sins that he has committed and the reason for taking his life. Unfortunately, the protagonist has no desire to relive his life, but since he does not have much of a choice, he has to ultimately comply. While there, the authorities tell the soul that it has won some lottery and is one of the few lucky ones who get to have another shot at life. The film recounts a story of self-realization and second chances and follows a depressed and sad soul who reaches the train station death. However, it is not an extreme tear-jerker like ‘Grave of Fireflies’ but rather a dramatic perspective on the inner workings of the world. ‘Colorful’ is the kind of supernatural drama movie that can move anyone to tears and make its audience emotional. You can watch some of these sad anime on Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime. However, in this article, we will primarily be focusing on tearjerkers who are famous for making viewers cry.

While the most popular anime genres are slice of life, action, adventure, and science fiction, a great majority of them have an emotional side that helps viewers connect with the characters and feel the plethora of experiences that they are going through.
