The_Kyojuro_Rengoku

Tons of AOT scenes broke me, I'm also a sensitive bean so lots of scenes break me šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­ ā€¢Eren telling Mikasa he hates her and beating the shit out of Armin ā€¢Eren retelling to Armin that he sent Dina after his mom ā€¢Hange dying, Sasha dying, Erwin dying, plenty of folks dying šŸ˜­ ā€¢Mikasa telling Eren she can't forget about him or get rid of his scarf ā€¢Levi crying and asking his fallen comrades if that's what they dedicated their hearts for ā€¢Armin reacting to seeing Erens head in Mikasas arms


iheartbawkses

I was just barely coping and holding it together until the final scenes. Mikasa sitting by Erenā€™s grave and mourning him. Then the credit compilation of her visiting him until her final days, where she was buried with the scarf. I shattered into a thousand pieces and Iā€™ve still not fully recoveredā€¦


The_Kyojuro_Rengoku

I haven't recovered either lol šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø Mikasas "I want to see you again šŸ„ŗ" it all just hurts my heart šŸ˜­


iheartbawkses

It says something when Iā€™m fortunate enough not to have lost a loved one (or indeed actually loved someone romantically yet), but can still feel the raw pain Mikasa is experiencing in that moment. Something so basic as seeing the boy she loved and just wanted to be close to again is beyond her reach now šŸ˜¢


Breakability

> ā€¢Armin reacting to seeing Erens head in Mikasas arms I was ready for everything except for this. This shattered me (and everything else about the ending).


Then_Masterpiece_113

When Connie , Jean , and the other eldians turn into titans during the final battleā€¦ thankfully that was reversed but Connie and Jean just standing there accepting their fate had me bawlingšŸ˜­


eggcustarcl

Hange dying was the one that really got to me for some reason


ashes2asscheeks

I finally just watched the last few episodes last week and Iā€™m still not ok lol this comment has me sobbing again

I will never be the same after finishing aot

Attack On Titan, it just gets more depressing as the seasons go onā€¦


Bizzy955

Yeah dude I just got to the end of season 4 part 2 for the second time and omg I thought I could handle the sadness better this time šŸ˜«


maxy073

Ik what ur talking about, im actually rewatching again, and have come to the final season part 1, just done watching where Eren talks shit to Mikasa and Armin, never a easy watchā€¦


Bizzy955

Oh man that convo is so heartbreaking. šŸ’”

Ikr:/ The last season is never a easy watchā€¦

Crazy how the first episode has literal mass murder and by S3/4 Iā€™m j like: wow remember how light-hearted s1 was šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Erenā€™s hope being destroyed is what got me the most ngl

Clean-Sector-1085

Attack on titan is the only show to have made me cry more than once


thisisallasimulation

Vinland saga though


bts4devi

W taste Aot and VS are my fav anime ever


Caledonian_10

Just finished AoT and it's Vinland Saga I'll be watching next, either that or Jujutsu Kaisen, both were recommended to me by a friend. Definitely an emotionally devastating series and I'm not sure it's the best anime to start out with, but it sure is goated.


thisisallasimulation

Jujutsu Kaisen is also emotionally devastating. I am positive the authors of both AOT and JJK are psychopaths because of how thought out their stories are, but how painful they are to read/watch


Yeezus_Fuckin_Christ

My probably with JJK is the author just be killing major characters for the hell of it. Personally, a character death usually doesnā€™t have that much of an emotional impact on me if itā€™s not well written. Iā€™m anime only, and the story isnā€™t that sad besides the people who died so far. AOTā€™s story is tragic and heartbreaking. Like emotional scenes and the suffering characters go through impact me more than character deaths. I still like JJK, I just donā€™t find it as sad as other people do.


thisisallasimulation

Exactly, the author just goes for shock when there really is no shock value if a character hasn't been developed well enough or doesn't draw the plot forward. Junpei's death sucked but where it could have been more of a sucker punch, it was more of a pinch but then with Hannes, THAT hurt


Berrydumplings

If you just finished AOT try Vinland saga first only because of the contrast yet similar theme it shows. It will be interesting to watch. Also JJK is šŸ”„I get Dark Naruto vibes from it.


bts4devi

Vinland saga pls..although just wanna say s2 will be a different mood than s1(In my opinion...s2>>>s1)


zogzamn

W taste for you both, also two of my favorite animes


ExiancePuppy

Youā€™d love Farming Simulator

Vinland Saga bro it's mentally changing


Tomfooleredoo2

The scene where gabi was revealed to be the one that killed Sasha broke me

idkwhataboutyou148

I've never cried in a show but attack on titan is breaking the ice


Stonewall30NY

Full metal alchemist brotherhood, the infamous chimera dog scene had me shook. I remember it saying something like "play with me" ugh bro


demonesqueee

Ed...ward


Stonewall30NY

Ugh And that show has probably the most satisfying revenge in anime history. When mustang finally catches that fucker and just keeps snapping. Ugh I was yelling at the TV, let's fuckin gooo


Oonada

Dude the way Mercer does that gutteal yell from Mustang too as he destroys Envy is just fantastic. Full metal was one of the best I've seen in a while. It's amazing how all my favorite Manga are female authors, yet I was told female Mangaka can't write when I started reading like... What? Some of the best and greatest timeless classics were female written. Hell Inuyasha is STILL trending in the top 50 and it hasn't seen a new episode since 2010. Though I'm fairly certain Inuyasha will trend until the end of time, but still.


muckwar

The eclipse ā˜¹ļø


MajinAlpha

That one word can trigger so much PTSD for those who know....


thisisallasimulation

Wait why? Please explain, I am so lost


muckwar

I highly recommend watching berserk the 1997 anime or berserk memorial edition golden age arc on crunchy roll. Donā€™t have anything spoiled it truly is a masterpiece.


Dangerous_Mood8647

The manga is even better


thisisallasimulation

I just might take up your advice


Octopusnoodlearms

I recommend the manga, it goes on for longer. Berserk is incredible but it also is pretty disturbing, the eclipse is the most memorable since it involves important characters and affects the story the most but there are plenty of gruesome scenes in the story


itsritdude

Donā€™t watch, read it!


muckwar

Oh I am donā€™t worry, this post was just about an anime not the manga


Saifyre-Lion

That's where Berserk truly begins for me. Everything before that is just a flashback sequence to me.


Chacochilla

Lmao I thought you meant looking at an actual eclipse and having your vision fucked up


[deleted]

Yeah I had to stop reading the manga after that part......


Classic-Preparation7

Wtf, the best part is yet to come


soundtrack101

Came here to say this, glad it was already here and up top. For anyone who hasnā€™t seen berserk 1997 watch it before you decide your answer to this post. I think by the end your answer will have changed lol.


TheAtlasComplex

The torture scene in the first season of Tokyo Ghoul. With the bucket and clippers. That caught me way off guard and changed how I view torture.


Alaska658

Count back from 1000 in 7s. Think about that scene whenever I hear Unravel.

Yeah I know its just you think you have a good one then the mcā€™s best friend looks up a girlā€™s skirt and when she slaps him he flashes his p*nis at her then everyone pretends this was a normal interaction. (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

What lie?


Keyblades2

Thatā€™s the show . She lied about not liking him


_catphoenix

Oh my god..... I've had such ptsd with this show I've never managed to rewatch it since it releases. It's the one show too sad to see twice


Tatleman68

Honestly, I was bored af


Keyblades2

I have no response lol just not your jam i guess


ReleaseEmpty774

Fun fact: Evangelion was the first anime I ever saw. I also saw some Naruto before, but as a kid and it was years ago. I remember that on the first episodes I thought that itā€™s just some fun story about angels, saving the world, robots, lol. Closer to the finale I just sat there silently. Man it got so dark so fastā€¦


scarecrow1023

Basically the entire devilman crybaby. It still haunts me i actually regret watching it


Traffy124

In Aot, I think it's only Mike's death that really struck me, the way it happens, the fact that we discover a titan with the ability to speak, I think it's the death that was the most impactful and horrible of the show The eclipse in Berserk really shocked me, but it also made me somewhat insensitive to this type of scene, as a result I felt absolutely nothing during the rumbling, the only thing that got me was the image of Ramzi with his teeth because I regularly have nightmares about this subject, so seeing it made me quite uncomfortable Akame Ga Kill >!The death of Sheele really gave me chills, I hate that dog!< The end of Edgrunners, >!I found the last scene between Lucy and David really beautiful, not really shocking because you clearly see it coming but was worth mentioning imo!< The trauma of my childhood was the death of Gohan in Trunks' OAV, 20 years later I still have trouble watching it, seeing Gohan with his eyes completely white in a puddle, literally give me chills everytime I think about it And the worst for the end.... "It's a terrible day for rain", the only scene in an anime that made me have some tears


Breakability

> In Aot, I think it's only Mike's death that really struck me, the way it happens, the fact that we discover a titan with the ability to speak, I think it's the death that was the most impactful and horrible of the show This genuinely bothered me so much. He risked his life to save everyone, and no one knew what happened to him except for the Beast. And we had only seen the Beast titan once before then, so we knew nothing about who it is, their intent, their purpose for being there, etc. It was really unsettling for me. Even my roommate, who isn't into anime, said it was fucked up.

Akame ga kill deserves more credit that messed me up for a good while, >! I got so attached to all the characters :( !<

Sweet baby Jesus I should not have watched that movie at the age that I did. I donā€™t think any age would make it better but I was way too young. Made my husband watch because ā€œit canā€™t be that bad.ā€ Thatā€™s the thing, it isnā€™t bad. It is wonderfully done. Compelling characters; the struggles and strife they faced, the sibling love and perseverance, and then the endā€¦ *sobs hysterically*

Shin0nome

The end of Devilman Crybaby when he sees his crush's head on a spike in the middle of the riots. The moment when the father finds out his son became a devil and begs him to help him go back to normal and the dad gets shot right after is fucking terrible too.


Missing-Donut-1612

I love the mob scene to death. It's so action packed while staying grounded in reality (in terms of choreography). I prefered it over the devilman fights. Although I really love the merging stuff that happens in the final battle as well. The father scene is brutal as well, since it's right after the son actually eats the mother. The voice acting also did a blessing on it. I wish they expanded on how the kid even became a devil though, and also more on Satan's parts, cause that shit felt rushed as fuck

The Chimera ant arc of HxH, pretty much every AOT arc, and the shibuya arc in JJK to name a few Edit: also throw in the last like 10 episodes of Evangelion


Oonada

So many people were not ready for The Chimera Ant arc. Like we thought we knew what kind of dark themes HxH would have after YorkNew but compared to chimera that was merely our trial version of "babies first dark plot," in comparison because holy shit it got so fucking dark. People don't really associate how bad it really was because they just focus on the baby eating and massacres of children but it gets even worse when you realize they were harvesting the people to enslave the world. Making dead dictators into puppets on literal strings and using them as play things to confuse people in a country. That arc was way darker than a lot of people realized it was.

Samuel and Daz's death at hands of conny. So fking sad and i didnt even remember those 2 until i searched them up. Samuel was the one who Sasha saved after he got knocked off the wall and Daz was the coward trynna kill himself while marco stopped him. The line where Samuel was pleading to conny on how "You promised we'd explore the horizons and eat meat together, Dammit why'd it come to this" before Conny shot him multiple times absolutely shattered me and this is from someone who has never cried in anime in general. fck man why did conny kill them this is NOT the conny i knew and loved. He said he did it to "save humanity' but to hell with that bs . This scene alone made me a Yeagerist before i was sorta neutral, i just have a really soft spot for side chars and this scene just made me snap inside esp cuz of Samuels last words

Attack on titan specifically the midnight sun episode

AoT specifically? The finale when everyone else got turned to Titans and Reinerā€™s mom was attacking him alongside Jean and Connie. I knew how the series ended due to manga spoilers but I didnā€™t know the details so I didnā€™t think theyā€™d get turned back. I remember saying ā€œthis is Hellā€ to my wife while watching it. Outside of AoT? FMA, the Chimera scene. Fire Force, Inca and Panda made me HATE Incaā€™s character. JJK, all of season 2. Going back a little, S-CRY-ed when Kazuma was carrying Kimishima and the screen faded to black: ā€œā€¦Kimishima?ā€

I haven't even seen it, but a while ago, I watched a "Top 10 most disturbing scenes in anime" video by Anime America (with help from Phantom Strider). Their number 1 was the Gush Gush scene from Tokyo Tribe 2, in which a morbidly obese man rapes a normal sized man to death. https://youtu.be/9kESFwQyspI?si=6omyMdaXGGN0lt3k And there's the link to the original video, it's got separation by scenes now.

A lot of animes actually, not exactly broke but a very heavy scenes, I am emotional and I like to watch drama. AoT I think has the most scenes like that, the first thing that comes to mind is Nanaba's death. From other animes it would be Re:Zero Rem death and torture scenes, scenes from Eighty six, Made in Abyss, Madoka Magica, Magical girl site, Wixoss, Inuyashiki, Talentless Nana, The Promised neverland, some Goblin slayer scenes, Rudeus vs Orsted fight from Mushoku Tensei. The biggest mindfuck though was Happy sugar life. Don't watch that.

Anohana The end is more bitter-sweet than anything, but the slow reveal of what happened and how it affected all the kids into adulthood really fucked with me. I watched it in 2020 while i was wrapping up highschool and felt like I was losing the bookend of my childhood to the pandemic (on top of general feels of inadequacy I've felt towards my childhood). The feeling of drifting away from friends, stuck remembering the past and mourning what could have been still fucks with me if I let it, so the emotions from the show mirrored my feelings heavily at the time.
