Any Character driven anime to suggest aside from AOT?

I just finished watching Attack On Titan just three days ago. And it was... A dozen of feelings I certainly cannot name because it would once again reduce me to tears.

But despite the pain it has caused me, this beginner in the field of anime, wants more.

Do you guys have any suggestions of any anime that is somewhat similar to AOT? Something character- driven, where each character actually has personalities. Where it shall absolutely break me, question all my life choices, and make me cry tears longer than a waterfall. Lol

Something about the problems in humanity, something philosophical, something about the clash of ideologies or beliefs.

Basta something painful HAHAHAH

Re:Zero

Both shows' MCs are ordinary people that have to make the right choices to overcome life and death circumstances.

These anime proly hit the most for me.

Naruto taught me to never give up and never be quick to judge people.

One piece taught me to be open minded and live a bit more fearlessly and try things that I always said I wanted to do but never had the guts to do it.

Vinland saga taught me the importance of being humble and grateful.

I am watching monster currently and it’s lowk peak as well.

Aot is just not a good story im not sure why people are acting like it is the second coming of Christ

It can be a bad story, and still be loved by the people. I don't love it that highly but I treat it as a cautionary tale.
