Just finished Gosick today. I shed so much tears. That last episode was fucking beautiful.
However, this wasn't my first time. Both seasons of Clannad made me cry, Air made me cry, Elfen Lied made me cry.
So guys, any anime you watched that just made you cry?
-
Only one that was closest to me "crying" was Clannad After Story, since I certainly did feel something drop in my heart, but never really shed a tear since...well...I'm not the type to cry that easily :derp:
though it got my sister bawling to tears on it :V
-
Are you fucking kidding me, After Story had me cursing my monitor in tears, and that never happens. Ever.
Great show.

I didn't actually shed tears but my eldest sister cried the Niagara Falls. She DID grow up watching that, anyway. :V

takes a lot to make me cry too but Clannad did it with pretty much no effort
tbh I don't know of anybody who has watched that show and finished it without even crying a bit.

*raises hand*
Doesn't mean I didn't feel emotional at all. Just I don't get tears :V
-
lol maybe you're the exception to the rule then :p or perhaps I should have said I don't know of anybody who hasn't gotten a at least a bit ;_; while watching it
-
Don't want to watch After Story: the first part of Clannad had me crying at several points. The only thing that could possibly make me cry more is if they made an anime of "Where the Red Fern Grows".
-
/me nods, adds more shows to his 'Avoid like the plague' list
I don't like crying over animes ;-; Or stories, even, but I'm a little more resilient to story characters than visual characters. It's why I stopped watching Higurashi - or, at least, the final straw. During the arc revolving around Satoko and her uncle? Yeah, I about lost my shit when she had her breakdown because of Keiichi petting her head
and couldn't deal with it any more after that. The rest of the freaky splatter-flick elements to the show weren't helping, either, but I'd promised my friend I'd at least try to suffer through it with her. Just couldn't finish it.

Last scene of the last episode of the original Gunbuster
I've watched it like five times and I still cry
-
Oh, I just remembered. Gurren Lagann episode 8.
Kamina-sama.... ;_;
-
Utena episode 39. That ending. That music. That everything.
-

Welcome Home indeed ;_;
-
Utena episode 39. That ending. That music. That everything.
This, and the movie as well. Everything is so spectacular, and absolutely heartwrenching at times.
Also, Gurren Lagann and Gunbuster, as mentioned, hit me pretty hard at some points. (Diebuster too, I suppose.)
Oh, Eureka Seven and 5 Centimeters per Second both had some scenes that got me, too. :<
-
Higurashi
I thought Higurashi was overall hilarious (except for the fingernails bit), albeit unintentionally.
Kamina-sama.... ;_;
don't forget Kittan ;-;

;_________________________; so hard. just the whole ending really )':

Biggest offenders are probably the endings for Hanbun no Tsuki and Angel Beats. Elfen Lied too, though it was one of the first series I watched so it gets less credit. Kimi Ga Nozumu Eien was pretty heartbreaking but I can't explicitly remember bawling over it.
Some son of a submariner spoiled Clannad (or AS) for me, so I doubt it'll kill me as hard as it otherwise would've done.
I think I cried tears of pure awesome at the end of Haibane Renmei.
-
I think I only cried at one point in Higurashi
where Keiichi remembered killing Rena and Mion in the last world. It gets really bad when you realize, they weren't being hostile to him in that arc, it was Keiichi's paranoia that made it seem like they were trying to kill him. In reality, they were just going about doing their little "Punishment Game" deal.
Yeah, can't remember any other times that envoked any other tears in me. There was another that always makes me cry, but it's more a music video than an anime.
-

Oooh, yeah! I remember when I first saw Miku's "Hato". I cried because the sheer sweetness of the song and the video was too much for my poor heart to bear. ;_;
-
I think the closest I've ever come to crying while watching an anime was the last episode of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0.
Other than that, I haven't shed any tears yet regarding anime... which kind of worries me. :ohdear:
-

Damn, someone beat me to it. >.<
But yeah, I'm contractually obliged to sing the praises of Gunbuster every once in a while, so... Yeah. The ending is probably the best ending to anything I've ever seen. It's just perfect, and even after watching it about half a bajillion times it still manages to at least choke me up every time I see it. That the impact hasn't lessened by all that much over time is a testament to why it's such a masterpiece~
-
It's very rare that a fictional work can make me shed tears, but I recall shedding some during Excel Saga of all anime when
Excel learns the hard way just how little she meant to Il Palazzo.
-
Candy Candy
Whoah. Blast from the past!
If any of you haven't seen it, ARE YOU READY FOR SOME SHOUJOU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw3TISY-lZ8)?
I haven't straight-up bawled from anime, but I did get pretty choked up several times during Madoka, the ending of Fractale. and the ending of Soremachi.
-
I don't quite remember, but way back when Dragon Ball Z was new on Cartoon Network (and they were on Namek), my mom and sis and I would watch as soon as we got home, and they said we all cried when
Vegeta is dying and telling Goku about how his father and all the Saiyans were killed by Frieza.
I mean sure, dying isn't that big of a deal in Dragon Ball Z, but still... I remember that being so freaking sad.
The only anime to make me shed a tear was Puella Magi Madoka Magica. God I wanted to cry during the end but I just couldn't. Surprisingly, the anime for Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls got to me. Specifically, Nia's backstory (Charles d'Artagnon) and when Jubei was fighting at the end and that she might lose her adorable persona
. Higurashi Kai hit me especially hard... I really can't remember anything else that's gotten me close to crying, but anime tends to get me pretty emotional at times.
Oh shit, I forgot... Shinryaku Ikamusume, when she was losing her squidly powers and decided to go back home and everyone thought she was kidding
. Oh god... ;___;
-
I don't usually cry to anime that much. Here's how it went for me:
Grave of the Fireflies - Nope, no tears.
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien - Nope, no tears.
Air - Nope, no tears.
Clannad - Nope, no tears.
Angel Beats - Nope, no tears.
Madoka - Nope, no tears.
Ano Hana - Nope, no tears.
And out of nowhere:
K-On!! - Holy shit, why am I crying like a little bitch?! I have no idea how it happened. Maybe it was just a bad time for me or something. Weird.
Oh, and I cried to the 1st Pokemon movie when it first came out. I was like 5 years old so that was expected.
-
I think the closest I've ever come to crying while watching an anime was the last episode of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0.
Other than that, I haven't shed any tears yet regarding anime... which kind of worries me. :ohdear:
Same here! 8.0 last episode got my eyes kinda watery and it was hard to hold back the tears. @_@ And it still got me when I rewatched it.
Madoka last episode got me more like awed rather than crying.
I can't think of any other animes that got me crying at the moment.
-
Hm, I remember tearing up pretty intensely during some older episodes of Pokemon, such as when Pikachu was released into the wild or when Misty left the group.
I can't recall any recent anime hitting me particularly hard for some reason, though.
-
Ah, yes, Grave of the Fireflies. How could I forget that one.
my heart
-
Hm, I remember tearing up pretty intensely during some older episodes of Pokemon, such as when Pikachu was released into the wild or when Misty left the group.
I feel kinda sad about the fact that, since I've been watching through the Advance gen episodes lately, I was kinda sad during the episode where Jessie and James had to release Arbok and Weezing. I dunno, it's just that they were always so inseperable, and because I always remember them being together it felt like part of my childhood had finally left me. >.> And even though it wasn't really part of my childhood, James obviously cared very deeply for his Chimecho, so the episode where he gave that away was pretty sad too, even with the horrendous new voice actors they'd switched to a couple of episodes back (although to their credit, the people voicing Team Rocket seem to have gotten into their roles much quicker than those playing the twerps have).
...Nope, looking it over, it's still kinda sad that I got upset over this. >.<

I remember seeing an anime movie thing as a kid. The name was something sappy like Happily Ever After or something, but it turned out to be some sort of crazy tragedy.
I remember one horrible scene where the generals of two armies are fighting in a forest that drives people mad. The two generals meet on a bridge in the middle of the forest, and they begin to talk. They're secretly in love, so the guy tries to tell her that they can run away from the war, that the fighting is pointless and they should be together.
She shoots him, and he tells her he loves her as she dies. At this point, you see her put the gun to her own head, tears in her eyes.
The actual suicide is off screen, but you see a single drop of her blood slip into the river below the bridge. And at this point, the river immediately turns dark red.
There's also the fact the movie ends with the protagonist finally coming back from the war he never wanted any part in to his loving wife, hugging her, only to find out she's a ghost and that she actually got killed in a bombing run while he was away. She vanishes, he screams out her name, and the movie ends with his death and realisation that all life comes back together at the foot of the Great Tree of Life or something.
Yeah, that movie traumatised me. I basically refused to watch it ever again. I was like 12 when I watched this. My uncle got it for me, probably not realising how fucked up it was going to be...
-
I don't think I've ever seriously cried from any story, anime or otherwise, but Haibane Renmei's ending came pretty damn close.
-
Ah, yes, Grave of the Fireflies. How could I forget that one.
my heart
oh god this I don't know how I even finished it
-
Grave of the Fireflies was like getting repeatedly punched in the stomach while having to listen to audio of babies crying and puppies whimpering. By the time that movie was over I just wanted to drown myself in Ben & Jerry's and fall asleep with my face in the carton.
-
I had to deal with a crying baby not long after I'd finished it and he was getting upset over me being upset lol we went round in a sad circle for a while.
Grave of the Fireflies - Nope, no tears.
so how did it make you feel then?
-
I haven't watched most of these anime you're all talking about. I like tear jerkers... I might check them out sometime later.
Well, in Madoka, I cried during Mami's death, Sayaka admitting she was afraid and lonely to Madoka, Sayaka turning into a witch, Kyouko dying, Homura killing Madoka in episode 10, the end of episode 11, and the final scenes of episode 12.
I cried... what, 7 times? I'm so emotional.~
Oh, and not all tears that are shed have to be depressing.
This (http://youtu.be/mghOPE3_XTs) made me cry so many epic tears.
[Major TTGL spoilers, slight NSFW]
-
so how did it make you feel then?
Oh, the it was gut-wrenchingly depressing, no doubt. I did felt my throat tighten up, and felt like I was about to cry, but no tears actually came out. This feeling came up very often during the movie, which was longer than I expected it to be.
Great movie, by the way.
-
Funny how I didn't cry the first time I watched Mai HiME ages ago, but this year I watched it again(for the 4th time no I'm totally not obsessed) and it had me in tears by the end.
Different from Clannad-induced tears, though.
Also some anime just makes me clench my fist and feel really 'fuck yeah'. The latest that was very strong with this to me was Railgun.

Kaiji does this to me. I can't tell you how many nail-biting moments of great tension that show has conjured up in me, and then just when I think we're finally gonna get our due, LOLENDINGTHEME.
I swear that show's going to give me a heart attack.
-
Some tearjerkers I think count here:
-The End of K-On! [To the point where I'm playing Wu-Tang's Life Changes (http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/'http://%22http//www.youtube.com/watch?vfl2d0CdmRT0' target=_blank) because of how freaking well it fits.
-Kanon 2006. Especially at the ends of Makoto's, Shiori's and Ayu's arcs. Mostly Makoto's.
-Gunbuster and Diebuster. I just have to give Nono all my respect for her sacrifices.
-Hokuto no Ken. Probably the top scene for me was Rei's death. Especially after having just kicked Yuda's ass. Raoh's death is up there too, especially after seeing the second Raoh Den OVA.
-Air. Just watch the last few eps to understand.
-The only reason I cry whenever I see Alien 9 nowadays is because I've read the manga, and I'm very aware that shit's gonna get MUCH worse, that two of them will lose their humanity with nobody batting a damn eye and that nobody even cares that the third's pretty much emotionally scarred for life. Shit like that's beyond cruel.
So generally, yes, I'm a sucker for Key/KyoAni.
-
5 Centimeters per Second made me bawl my eyes out (It was being shown at my old high school's anime club, and I was like 13) for the most part. Same with Grave of the Fireflies. As for actual anime series, it's pretty hard for series themselves to make me cry, but I think I have to give a hats off to Madoka and Ano Hana. On the completely opposite end of the spectrum the Sono Hanabira OVA made me shed tears of joy for how absolutely romantic it was. ;A;
-
To be perfectly honest, just reading some of the things in this thread brought slight tears to my eyes. I cried at Elfen Lied
when Nana reveals that she knows she's being killed by her "Papa" and just says "goodbye..."
.
I also cried at a lot of stuff in the Umineko visual novel, Rosa and the Goats = tears of awesomeness
The Higurashi manga (the anime didn't affect me that much, besides that scene when Shion finds out Satoshi was in the Irie clinic and is banging on the glass.
As for Clannad, I'm very interested in watching it but could never be bothered to get past episode 5, no idea why.
-
Alien 9
dude this was just... not quite a tearjerker but it really left me feeling a bit depressed after I finished watching it.
Kaiji does this to me. I can't tell you how many nail-biting moments of great tension that show has conjured up in me, and then just when I think we're finally gonna get our due, LOLENDINGTHEME.
I swear that show's going to give me a heart attack.
I'm always on the edge of my seat when I watch this. so tense I just can't sometimes. it makes me miss the days when I used to play poker and 21 all the time.
@Vyrien Clannad is a bit slow to get started, but it's worth the wait imo.
