Anime Openings/Endings that made you cry?

Possibly a dumb thread but yolo.

Any anime intro/endings that made you cry? Not 100% VK related but curious to know if there’s any anime op/ed’s that made anyone shed a tear. Doesn’t have to be related to the anime/could be because it reminded you of some real life action

For me - JJK Hidden Inventory arc Ao no Sumika (青のすみか) by Tatsuya Kitani hits soooo hard man. Mainly because the op is full of scenes of happiness and halycon days, but manga readers know the characters’ true fates.

another is asphyxia by cö shu nie

But this one is cause I took a summer between semesters in uni to live in Osaka for 3 months at a hostel, and spent each week going to a show or two (saw RAZOR, the Gazette, A crowd of rebellion, passpied, FIXER, UVERworld, Band-maid, Fear and Loathing, Crystal Lake, Passcode, Unison Square Garden, and others - would have seen Memai Siren, lical and HakU if I could). I saw cö shu nie in Umeda, and it was ethereal. So while tokyo ghoul re: was a great manga (but a terrible anime adaptation), hearing the song is painfully nostalgic.

Would love too know what anime bangers tug at everyone’s heartstrings and why :’)

Like my 4th or 5th favorite song ever in general (why so specific)

First thing that popped into my mind was:

This was the first One Piece opening I ever seen and it really piqued my interest in the show. But after finishing Marineford arc this OP always brings tears to my eyes. It’s also funny, that I never cared to know what is the band/song that is playing there lol.

Another one I could rarely watch without crying is:

I don’t think I have any japanese opening I ever cried with.
I did probably cry with one of those old re-recorded German openings at one point, out of nostalgia feelings.

Obligatory

The Angel Beats op made me sob when I was younger. That and the 2019 Fruits Basket OP. That piano riff at the end is so nice.
