Lovely Short Anime

Basically OVAs/movies that really touched me or are just quirky and memorable. They're worth your time, so you should give them a shot! (Why do I always cry with short movies? Beats me xP)
1 your name.

your name.

Cried? The question is how many times. Hint: you'll need more than one hand to count on. Sad tears, shocked tears, cute moment tears, relief tears, no I never wanted this movie to end tears, tears tears tears f***ing feelings man

It's a masterpiece, absolutely not the stupid cheesy confusing shit I admittedly expected. Go see for yourself how great this can be, seriously.

2 Hotarubi no Mori e

Hotarubi no Mori e

(Available on YouTube)

Cried? (Not surprisingly) Check. Both the first and second time I watched it T^T

WATCH THIS NOW. GO. IT BECKONS YOU.

3 The Way of the Househusband

The Way of the Househusband

Definitely the most hilarious anime I've watched in the last year or so! If you enjoy Gintama-type humor aka stupid dramatic humor and I mean FULL COMMITMENT TO IT no matter how irrational.. then you need to try this immediately; it's laugh out loud funny and flies by so quick. 

4 Doukyuusei

Doukyuusei

Cried? I don't think so x3

Must watch for any BL fan.

5 The Anthem of the Heart

The Anthem of the Heart

Cried? Yeah :)

Deals with a girl's crippling social anxiety (which has manifested itself to the point of selective mutism). With the help of three of her classmates, the girl learns how to overcome her past and fear of hurting people with her words. Very touching, great art, hits home in some ways, just a very good watch <3

6 Alice in Borderland

Alice in Borderland

Cried? Once but boiii that one time was enough.

This is basically the accelerated anime version of squid game. That said, this really should've been 12 episodes at least because I'm sure a lot of material was skipped over. BUT, Imo worth it just for one scene. You may not think you could possibly care about the group of characters in such a short amount of time... hunny you will. And the second you start to give a shit, that's when this one stabs you in the heart and twists. 🤠🤙

7 Arashi no Yoru ni

Arashi no Yoru ni

(Available on YouTube)

Cried? You bet! About three times in all! THIS IS ADORABLE xDDD

8 There She Is!!

There She Is!!

(Available on YouTube)

Cried? Yep x] Happy tears man

Friggin' heartbreakingly cute forbidden romance between a cat and a rabbit. Their love is treated pretty much like same-sex marraige with half the town on their side, and half against their relationship. Gets surprisingly serious and honestly has more depth than some entire 12-episode anime I've seen O.O

9 Aura: Koga Maryuin's Last War

Aura: Koga Maryuin's Last War

Cried? I didn't think I would at all, but God, my heart is allergic to the feels; just one whiff of it, and I'll be running for the tissues... *achoo* This hit hard for me at the end (even though it was ridiculous), so I'd recommend it if you can get past the slow-ish pace <3

10 Wolf Children

Wolf Children

Cried? LOL yep.

11 Paulette's Chair

Paulette's Chair

(Available on YouTube)

Only 3 1/2 minutes long, but I still managed to cry; what a baby, lol xD

Cute little short, just watch it!

12 Harmonie

Harmonie

(Available on YouTube)

Cried? Check. The song at the end always gets me, man...

13 Eden

Eden

Cried? Yeah like 3 or 4 times 😅

The animation and main girl's voice acting knocked my enjoyment of this down a few pegs, but it still managed to be an average watch. I was going to give up on it once I saw it was CGI, but then I got hooked when I heard one of the robots speak and recognized it as David Tennant! In the end, I'm glad I stuck around cause while the characters and story was pretty generic, it still kept me entertained and had an interesting twist in the end.

14 Kowarekake no Orgel

Kowarekake no Orgel

Cried? *sigh* Check. Like a friggin' baby x)

15 Hal

Hal

Cried? Nahhh.

This is fairly good, but the plot twist is what makes this really worth it.

16 Senyuu.

Senyuu.

13 ep x 3 1/2 minutes (minus the intros and stuff)

Friggin' hilarious if you're really bored xD

Keep in mind that it is in fact a parody, so it makes fun of tropes etc. Just a really nice breath of fresh, zany air

Cried? Uhhh no. It's not sad at all

17 Out of Sight

Out of Sight

(Available on YouTube)

Cried? Yep. Wasn't sad; it was just really inspiring to me that the little girl didn't let her disability stop her from making the world feel like a magical place >w<

18 Voices of a Distant Star

Voices of a Distant Star

Cried? Yeah x( So friggin sad... Stomaching the art style was hard for me (sorry if you like/love it; I just wasn't a fan), but I'd have to say that it's worth it for the heartbreaking romance that builds until you'd be heartless not to have some tear-action

19 Noblesse: Awakening

Noblesse: Awakening

Cried? No, but I got goosebumps from a certain combat move, and I don't think that's ever happened to me before, like DAMN. Also, the art was GOD-TIER and I loved the characters... Too bad it wasn't longer, as it sounds like this one OVA isn't doing justice to the 70+ manga. I guess I'll just have to read it sometime, but that doesn't mean that I don't appreciate this bada$$ half-hour ride xD

20 Dareka no Manazashi

Dareka no Manazashi

Cried? Yeah, a bit at the end x[

21 The House of Small Cubes

The House of Small Cubes

(Available on YouTube)

Cried? Yep.

22 Little Witch Academia

Little Witch Academia

Cried? I'm sorry to admit this... but I did a tear up little... and this isn't even sad at all. I was just overtaken with awe in the beginning... >__<

23 Hiyokoi

Hiyokoi

(Available on YouTube)

Cried? Maybe like... one tear. It was a happy moment :) Everything about the OVA is adorable, it's such a pick me up! I would love to watch a whole 12 episodes of this, because the romance was just OHH SO CUTE!

24 Neppu Kairiku Bushi Road

Neppu Kairiku Bushi Road

  • Skippable movie, but worth mentioning.

This movie wasn't the best overall... (the villain was evil for the sake of being evil, the voice actors were good but sounded like they had mild echo from recording in an enclosed space sometimes, the pace was weird imho, and the storyline was a little disappointing) but, at the end of the day, after the numerous flaws, the romance aspect of this is soooo cute! The love story of the two characters on the front cover just melted my heart and made the whole movie worth it <3 The art was very well done too

Cried? Yes. Don't leave before the credits end.

25 Wonder Garden

~Skippable, but worth mentioning~

(Available on YouTube)

Cried? Ehhhh no x3 It's cute and whimsical, nothing much else, but I liked it

26 Perfect Blue

Perfect Blue

Cried? No...

I had higher hopes for this one since I'm so intrigued by psychological horror but nothing really struck any emotional cords with me. Maybe it's because the main villian in the end was so flat. It somehow lacks flavor while trying way too hard imho.

27 Shelter

Shelter

28 Wonderful Days

Wonderful Days

~Skippable movie, but worth mentioning.~

Cried? A bit at the end..

This a futuristic sci-fi drama featuring romance and the reclaiming of earth from some people that thought they were better than everybody else for no reason. The plot isn't the best, but holy sh** the animation was very enjoyable. In fact, that was the best part. It was very beautiful, but unfortunately, the story didn't match the looks.
