i get that feeling from angel beats and other stuff where it's like
it feels so formulated to be sad. it's like"HIS LITTLE SISTER HAD A TERMINAL ILLNESS AND HE LOOOVED HER AND OH MY GOD HE TOOK HER OUT ON NEW YEARS BUT DEN[spoiler] THE TRAIN CRASHED AND HE SAVED EVERYONE AND SACRIFICED HIMSELF
"
it felt too much like they wanted me to cry, and it made me feel sad, but not really the kind of sadness that i felt on ep 7 of lagann, a kind of sadness that really is meaningful and impactful
