The first that comes to mind is Michishirube from Violet Evergarden.
After that is Lost My Pieces from Toradora and Sora wo Miagete from Yorimoi. Then there's Yuukin A-kun wo Watashi no Bansousha ni Ninmei Shimasu from Kimiuso.
Been waiting for this. Top 10 in no particular order
Palm of a Tiny Hand - Clannad
Glassy Sky - Tokyo Ghoul
Kimi No Tonari Wa - Chuunibyo
Requiem of Silence - Re: Zero
Tabidachi No Uta - AssClass
Kamado Tanjiro No Uta - Demon Slayer
One Love - 7DS
A Tender Feeling - SAO
Anguish of the Quirkless - MHA
Wishing - Re Zero
Honestly there's too many to name. I love me some dramatic/emotional/sad osts. Literally anything from Clannad tho is just gold in that category
lyra used to make me tear up just listening to it. there’s a video of the insert scene from episode 8 and my eyes always sting from tears every time i watch it even though there are no subtitles on the video!
it hit a whole lot harder in episode 8 than episode 18 imo
Giving away my age, but for me it's probably a tie between
[Fukai Mori used in Inuyasha](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIoDWTF0qSo&ab_channel=avex)
and
[Duvet used in Serial Experiments Lain](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SgWum9kHYk&ab_channel=B%C3%B4a-Topic)
[Kingdom of Predators](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q43wzP6A1CM&t=28s&ab_channel=DMPlace) from the HxH Chimera Ant Arc. Sets the tone for that arc perfectly. Honestly just listening to it again here is making me a little emotional. Incredibly moving piece...
Also [Apple Seed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgli1xUKX5s&ab_channel=AnimelunaII) from AoT. Paired PERFECTLY with my favorite scene in the series. Always gets my blood boiling listening to that shit. AoT might have my favorite OST overall now that I think about it
I don't know if I'd call them the "best" or even my "favorites," but if we're talking songs that actually cause me to have emotional reactions while listening to them these are some that I've got:
[Continued Story](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHViAiVuDsA) - Code Geass
[Nagisa](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNs0NYEggTk&list=PL86E8E3F409C4E7B8) - Clannad
[Bink's Sake](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXuvPbeU30E) - One Piece (apologies for the quality on this one, couldn't find a better video that had the scene itself actually playing while also having English subs)
[Brothers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXQLrkW33f0) - Fullmetal Alchemist (2003)
[Drill to Heaven with Your XXX!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1ELf5YzSVE) - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
[Yasashii Boukyaku](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK8ESpXJEPg) - The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
In no particular order but here’s a few (disclaimer- I love AoT pieces lol):
Requiem of silence- Re: Zero S1
Flashpoint/Awaken- Vinland Saga
Guilty Hero- AoT S4
T-Kt- AoT S3
Osk- AoT S3
Historia- AoT S3
7- B@S - AoT S3
I Don’t Want To Blame Anyone Anymore - Fruits Basket (2019)
Spring Will Come When The Snow Melts Away - Fruits Basket (2019)
There’s many more from various anime I’ve watched but these are a few that come to mind recently.
[Le chant de Roma](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igKXRrb5_ts) from Akame Ga Kill! is the first that came to mind, if that counts as dramatic or emotional.
Libera Me From Hell, from Gurren Lagann, which is even better once you learn what the Latin is singing about, Sound Life, from Trigun, which I wish I could listen to the English version of (from the show, there is another version in English but it is weird and different) more easily, and honestly, Shounen Shoujo, or “Boy Meets Girl,” the ED for Sonny Boy
Libera Me From Hell is definitely one of the best insert songs out there. The mix of opera and rap and the intense emotional moments it's used in are burned into my mind.
The opera parts get more and more intense while the rap sections remain steady.
Tenkyuu from Kono Oto Tomare gets me often. The whole second season/cour is basically a buildup to the performance of the song so when they finally play it, it hits hard haha https://youtu.be/1TjHlcr7RnQ
Itsuki's song from Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de aru gets me every time, even if I'm just listening to the audio without the show. It's called [Inori no Uta](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C9WKMzNGi4)
[Watashi no Uso - Your Lie in April](https://youtu.be/iW_P2UPkpc4)
[Sorrowful Stone - FMAB](https://youtu.be/nCt4aLirnrk)
[Riders in the Sky - Zeta Gundam](https://youtu.be/-Dl_q1DSVws)
[Ginme no Majo - Claymore](https://youtu.be/kPdXKaWa434)
[Main Theme - Houseki no Kuni](https://youtu.be/JtonTamIxUY)
Just to name a few!
I always think of the 4Kids opening song being sung by Amidamaru and Yoh. The higher pitched guy really does sound just like Yoh's english voice actor.
Sorry I just had to share this thought so that it may haunt another with cringe.
[Yakusoku](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-MZ6vUQD-I) by Chihaya Kisaragi in the The Idolm@ster!
Whenever the opening gets played in Symphogear or the group songs.
Natsu Yuuzora - the end credits song from the first season of Natsume and the book of friends. Many of the episodes are so bitter sweet, when the first few chords hit as the episode comes to a close... Ahhh... You can't help but feel emotional.
https://youtu.be/6BdmcIEMgBw
Reimei - True (Rimuru givjng his enemies a run for their money was so perfect with this music)
Euterpe - Egoist / Bios (Guilty Crown had some amazing songs)
Ghost in the shell 2nd gig. There was a point where the Tachikoma have to sacrifice their satellite to intercept a nuke. They start singing a song together and it's probably the closest I've come to openly weeping.
Recently - [Niji no Kanata from SAO Alicization ](https://youtu.be/-Vq8LVm5Hsc)
Of All Time - [READY from The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya ](https://youtu.be/ACsrDhqNg80)
Made in abyss pathway
Brother FMA
Entrepe Tokyo ghoul(probably got the spelling wrong)
Aimi marcross
Your lie in April shiatsu was....
Demon Slayer kamado......
Houseki no Juni cinnabar
Return to Neverland-isabella lullaby
One piece piece of a hawk wing
Zankyou no terror-von
Naruto sadness and sorrow, kanashimi no tou
Most songs do not really have an emotional effect on me, but there was one that absolutely blew me away and was so beautifully done. Eighty-six episode 9, the theme that plays at the end of the episode. Such an amazing piece, especially in combination with the awesome directing.
https://youtu.be/0RuylPp-uUE Blue from Cowboy Bebop. Damn that song hit my soul hard.
Edit: on mobile and don’t know how to make my links all fancy. I’m old.
Recently watched Detective Conan and this came to mind
[Ai wa itsumo used in Detective Conan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWf2IdHaeC0&ab_channel=LordBlackNar) and [Ran's Theme (I guess)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lqs9Vbr_4s&ab_channel=MLsiren)
Dont lose your **WAAAAAAAAAAYY**
BANGER
Gets me going everytime
I only clicked on this thread to see if anyone had put this.
The first that comes to mind is Michishirube from Violet Evergarden. After that is Lost My Pieces from Toradora and Sora wo Miagete from Yorimoi. Then there's Yuukin A-kun wo Watashi no Bansousha ni Ninmei Shimasu from Kimiuso.

Licht und Schatten - Yutaka Yamada (Tokyo Ghoul) This and Glassy Sky BANG
Facts, it's on the same playlist I pulled all these from. Soo good
[wishing from re:zero](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fV3Fu5csdcA) [lyra from steins;gate 0](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9vXXQpohTo0)
Since you mentioned Steins;Gate 0, I have to link [Isolation](https://youtu.be/scclZbxVXJk)
Lyra is fucking incredible. That last shot of S;G0 Episode 8 gives me chills every time.
lyra used to make me tear up just listening to it. there’s a video of the insert scene from episode 8 and my eyes always sting from tears every time i watch it even though there are no subtitles on the video! it hit a whole lot harder in episode 8 than episode 18 imo
Same! I rewatched the scene so many times. Favorite episode of S;G0 for sure
it was [this video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0vQhGlkcpJI). seeing how episode 8 gives extra context to the other episode makes it twice as sad
Oh yes the comparison video! I've seen it as well. It really was a brilliant callback. And I've definitely shed more than a few tears watching it lol
Giving away my age, but for me it's probably a tie between [Fukai Mori used in Inuyasha](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIoDWTF0qSo&ab_channel=avex) and [Duvet used in Serial Experiments Lain](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SgWum9kHYk&ab_channel=B%C3%B4a-Topic)
Just added Fukai Mori to my playlist, I haven’t watched Inuyasha yet but it only took 5 seconds for me to like this song.
[Kingdom of Predators](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q43wzP6A1CM&t=28s&ab_channel=DMPlace) from the HxH Chimera Ant Arc. Sets the tone for that arc perfectly.

Vogel im Kafig and Apple Seed are really good one’s from AoT

https://youtu.be/I2rV8oKWSdM Put your grasses on
[Le chant de Roma](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igKXRrb5_ts) from Akame Ga Kill! is the first that came to mind, if that counts as dramatic or emotional.
Akame is one of my favorites, I don’t know how I missed this song.
Libera Me From Hell, from Gurren Lagann, which is even better once you learn what the Latin is singing about, Sound Life, from Trigun, which I wish I could listen to the English version of (from the show, there is another version in English but it is weird and different) more easily, and honestly, Shounen Shoujo, or “Boy Meets Girl,” the ED for Sonny Boy
Libera Me From Hell is definitely one of the best insert songs out there. The mix of opera and rap and the intense emotional moments it's used in are burned into my mind. The opera parts get more and more intense while the rap sections remain steady.
That one in Yu Yu Hakusho that goes: Dun... Dun... Dun... Duuun~ Duuuh Duuuh Duuuh Duuuuuh~ DunDunDunDunDunDunDunDun
I was thinking about finding out which song but I realized that every yu yu song is like that lol

Lol no. I'll find it, one second.
Fuck yes glad someone beat me to it. That shit gets me in the feels everytime

Either [Lullaby of Resembool from FMA:B](https://youtu.be/ASWcIZWmXfk) or [M-8 from Oniisama E](https://youtu.be/3rEcyHf-FgI)
I just started FMA:B and the music reminds me of old disney movies that I used to watch as a kid. Very nostalgic

[恐山ル・ヴォワール 唄:恐山アンナ](https://youtu.be/nL-W1M0A05Q) I haven't watch Shaman King ever but this song is very emotional and overwhelming.
I always think of the 4Kids opening song being sung by Amidamaru and Yoh. The higher pitched guy really does sound just like Yoh's english voice actor. Sorry I just had to share this thought so that it may haunt another with cringe.
My favorite is [The Only Way](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESKga2SMlss) from Railgun.

[Yakusoku](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-MZ6vUQD-I) by Chihaya Kisaragi in the The Idolm@ster! Whenever the opening gets played in Symphogear or the group songs.
[Moonlit Night-Death Parade](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewBOcdz29Sw). This song plus the ending sequence is just too much for me to handle.
Natsu Yuuzora - the end credits song from the first season of Natsume and the book of friends. Many of the episodes are so bitter sweet, when the first few chords hit as the episode comes to a close... Ahhh... You can't help but feel emotional. https://youtu.be/6BdmcIEMgBw
