Emotional anime are those that deeply touch the audience's heart, evoking intense emotions such as joy, sadness, nostalgia, or hope. Therefore, these series usually feature well-developed characters and meaningful stories that resonate emotionally with the audience. They address universal themes such as friendship, love, family, sacrifice, and overcoming challenges.

During the discussion, it became clear that what makes an anime moving can vary greatly from person to person. Personal experiences, cultural and emotional preferences, and even the mood one takes when watching the series can influence this perception. While some prefer love stories, others connect more with themes of friendship or personal growth:

In addition to the animes mentioned, we also had comments.
- “I really like 'Devil is a Part-Timer,' 'Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle,' 'Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid,' and 'Super Cub.' 'Sakura Quest' is so adorable, and everyone ends up happy. 'Skip and Loafer' is very touching. It's a slice-of-life anime with a bit of romantic subtext. 'Tonikawa,' or 'Fly Me to the Moon,' is a touching romantic anime. It has three seasons, plus some specials. I loved watching it.”
- 'Hinamatsuri' has a strange and unusual story, but it's so moving that it stays etched in your memory. I highly recommend it. 'Pseudoharem' is a good choice if you enjoy seasonal anime.
- There are heartwarming moments in 'Kotaro Lives Alone,' and also chilling ones. I'll always choose this one when someone asks for a heartwarming anime because, to be honest, the message is incredibly hopeful and sweet, but it works so well because of the few darker moments. It's touching because it has an important message to convey.
- I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet, but 'Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle' is adorable and hilarious. 'Kotaro Lives Alone' and 'Ponyo'. The 'Cells At Work' nameplates. The 'Penguin and House' manga.
- 'Oniichan wa Oshimai' for some gender-swapping sweetness, 'MM!' for some action, 'Absolute Duo' for more action. 'Tora Dora' for tears. 'Azumanga Daioh' for laughter. 'Recovery of an MMO Junkie' for some online goodness.
- 'Natsume Book of Friends' is about an orphan boy who can see spirits and inherits a book of friends from his grandmother. It's very sweet, and I loved it. It has a general plot, but I'd say it's mostly episodic.
- 'The Eccentric Family!' is little-known, very unique, and very sweet, even when it gets surprisingly intense. You get to see a tanuki hugging a frog! How can you top that?
- I don't think anyone mentioned 'Cardcaptor Sakura,' but especially the 'Clear Card' seasons are touching and relaxing to watch.”
