Apart from anime with traditionally sad scenes like Violet Evergarden or Gintama, I have the strange ability to cry about cute girls doing cute things slice of life anime ๐ . Like Non Non Biyori, K-ON, Gochiusa. I really like the tender and soft moments. For example that scene where Chino-chan decides to lean against Cocoa-chan and Mocha-chan. It's a bit sad, but mostly it is just so sweet and pure and tender.
To me one of the most precious effects an anime can have is when it makes me cry without the scene being sad. The queen of this has to be ARIA. Of course that one scene with Alice. But also just Alicia explaining why she doesn't get angry to Alice. The iyashikei just hits so hard I start feeling that being alive is wonderful. Those are my favorite tears!
K-On was devastating tbh. CGDCT anime are typically very happy-go-lucky, so any emotional moment hits pretty hard.
