Most of the stuff that comes to mind is already on your list.
Maybe you'd like the movie, Colorful, or the series Your Lie in April?
This is a stretch, but maybe also consider Shin Sekai Yori? The particular things that'll hit you there are, uh, a bit different though, if it works on you.
Troll Answer: School Days. 👹️
Nice boat
Shin Sekai Yori is a goddamn semitruck to my emotions good gods.
Not really a fan of the nihilistic messaging but I gotta say I still appreciate the art, craft, and effort the animators and writers put into the creation of SSY. Also the ending is like peak🤌 especially after some of the episodes where I just sat in shock, horror, and emptiness as it played me out.
School Days😬🤮
It's rare that a show makes me that mad, and the ending is unforgettable, but I'm pretty sure it's not quite the same kind of emotional payoff that OP's looking for... so, "Troll Answer". ;-)
Agreed👍
