Digimon Adventure 01 and 02. I cried at the end of 01 due to pure nostalgia. It was part of my childhood that I never finished. Now I can let it rest. I cried quite a few times near the end of 02 as well but not only for nostalgia. The backstory of Okiawa and how he visited his friend's grave with his computer was heart-breaking for me. And at the end when he doesn't make it into the DigiWorld also tore me up. Good thing he now resides in it.
Onepiece during that funeral...at least his will and mast was inherited!
Also, the movie Windaria, probably the most soul-crushing end ever.

AstroBoy - Robeo & Juliet
Where the two robots from rival racing car families where melted into 1 lump of steel when their fathers, attempting to kill each other, squished them between two racing cars.
What?? I was 4 years old damnit. I didn't know the story of Romeo & Juliet, nor the Tin Soldier. It was too much pathos for my wee bairn heart to handle.
EDIT: My wife absolutely baaaawled when Isara was shot in Valkyria. She didn't do too much better in one episode of Samurai Champloo - the one where the 'lovable street rat'-episode character was killed (think of Aladdin, but have Aladdin actually beheaded dismissively by Jafar instead of sent to the Cave of Wonders).

Time for an update. You can now add Valkyria chronicles (yes, you know which episode I'm talking about. Though the cry was after the RAGE. Dropped after that), and Madoka.
Code Geass had several tugging moments.
Can't say I was particularly moved over Lelouch at the end of R2 though. I'd been alienated from his character since the closing events of the first series, in a way that made me reluctant to just put the baggage to one side for later events in the following series. My remaining investment in Lelouch had been by character proxy.
I don't know if I watched it 'wrong' somehow, but that was my experience.

It made me cry too, because I didn't get to watch because my stupid brothersMetaMuffin said:
absolutely HAD to watch friggin' Samurai Champloo. *facepalm*
From the reaction here I should look up Clannad. but anyway.
Cowboy Bebop with a certain scene near the end that involes Edward. (Ed has to be my favourite character even above Jet sometimes).
At the end of Fruits Basket or at least the end the anime. (If the anime continued to the full end of the manga it would have also made the same effect).
Plus the Girl Who Leapt Through Time. One of my favourite movies ever.
And I'm pretty sure I cried to the first four-five of the pokemon movies (especially 4-ever and the first one) at some point. Although it doesn't take that much for me.

I cried at the end of code geass and angel beats is sad-I mean the anime not the manga!
I heard clannad is really sad

No tears were shed, but at the end of every Mahoromatic episode, when it counts down how many days she has left to live...that always made me really sad.
Well I never cried, but their are times when I came close:
Grave of the Fireflies: It really makes you think if what the US did was right, I know Japan was willing to fight to the death and an invasion on Japanese soil would have been a massarce, but still, you know what I mean
Cowboy Bebop's ending
a couple parts from One Piece
Shiki: I mean it's just really sad how the people who were turned into vampires are treated by the humans and it's an anime that really makes you think as the vampires are still the same person as they once were before and asks the question, does it make you evil to live?

Cowboy Bebop's ending
Going Merry's funeral, One Piece is the only anime where I feel sad about a boat being destroyed, also whenever Zoro took all the pain Luffy received against Oars, I was just touched how Zoro was willing to go through so much pain to protect Luffy and make his dream a reality
