This is how the waifus of different anime studios cry

A Twitter user became a trend by posting a series of comparative images of crying female characters, each animated by different well-known anime studios. The captures include works from studios such as Kyoto Animation, Sunrise, A-1 Pictures, J.C. Staff, Shaft, and more, showcasing the uniqueness and signature style of each animation house in emotionally intense moments.
The tweet sparked a lively debate among animation fans, who commented on the differences in visual techniques, use of color, and emotional intensity that each studio manages to convey in these scenes. Some mentioned the technical prowess of Kyoto Animation and Shaft, while others expressed nostalgia by recalling specific scenes from their favorite series.




Among the selected scenes, characters from popular anime such as Hibike! Euphonium (Kyoto Animation), Love Live! (Sunrise), Your Lie in April (A-1 Pictures), My Hero Academia (Bones), and Re:Zero (White Fox). Not only does this type of comparison celebrate diversity in the anime industry, but it also invites fans to reflect on how these differences impact visual storytelling.
The comments on the original thread did not take long to accumulate. Here are some of the highlights:
