I want to eat your pancreas silent voice or my favourite orange.

I've looked to make a real anime waifu,
Too spin my world around like a typhoon,
Why do people keep calling me a raccoon,
Maybe because I keep stealing anime girls hearts like gru steals the moon.

World's End. The first few episodes of "To Your Eternity" are a good one for this, also. "Shy" has some flashback episodes that are truly devastating, also.
Your Name also got me pretty good. "Bokurano" for entirely different reasons.

There's multiple Interest Stacks for this if you want. Just searching with keywords like 'cry' or 'sad' will give you a lot of different recommendations.
I'm usually quick to cry for stories but the anime that made me cry the most (as I remember) is Maquia.

Behold of my awesomeness~
controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.

The best anime I know to cry is Anohana and its movie.
https://myanimelist.net/anime/9989/Ano_Hi_Mita_Hana_no_Namae_wo_Bokutachi_wa_Mada_Shiranai
https://myanimelist.net/anime/15039/Ano_Hi_Mita_Hana_no_Namae_wo_Bokutachi_wa_Mada_Shiranai_Movie

As you've already been told, Angel Beats also works.
https://myanimelist.net/anime/6547/Angel_Beats

I also leave you two movies.
Kokoro ga Sakebitagatterunda.
https://myanimelist.net/anime/28725/Kokoro_ga_Sakebitagatterunda

Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou
https://myanimelist.net/anime/35851/Sayonara_no_Asa_ni_Yakusoku_no_Hana_wo_Kazarou

As a bonus, I can tell you two animes where you would only cry in the last episode.
K-On! (2 seasons)
https://myanimelist.net/anime/5680/K-On

ARIA (3 seasons + various OVAs)
https://myanimelist.net/anime/477/Aria_the_Animation

K-On is a comedy, and ARIA is a slice of life, but the last chapter of both series is very emotional.
