An anime that made you cry

[Insertclevername]

I cried once when Gokuu met Son Gohan (his surrogate father, not his son) at the Urani Baba's tournament. But I was pretty young.

Not an anime, but crisis core when one of your superiors forces you to kill him out of sheers disgust of what he has become. You then inherit his signature item and give a speech to Shinra troops quoting him... Powerful stuff.

Haven't to After Story fo some reason, but that was pobably because It tried too hard or when the EXTREMLY sad pat came along I knew the maker wouldn't leave it hanging, weirdly enough the end of the Fuko arc (episode 8-9) was the one that got very close to make me cry.
There's a lot of hate towards the Big 3 but daln there are some fine moments in there, one of which is in One Piece when *Spoiler* they tell Ussop that they are going to leave The Vogue Merry and then when he stands up and... oh man that eye shot *End Of Spoiler* That moment actually made me cry

Sorry for the double post, but this thread is very very old, it's probably a better idea to start a new thread with the same topic/title rather than bring a year old thread back. Just some advice!

Naruto. A bit surprising to me too, but for some reason it gets to me when Naruto's parents are punctured through the chest and say their final words to their new born son, while bleeding to death.

Never really cry as such but did shed a couple of tears for the following:

Series - Cowboy Bebop end of series, Trigun end of series , Fruits Basket end of series, Ganketsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo and Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone various bits.

Movies - Tokyo Godfathers, Summer Wars, The girl who leapt through time.

There is probably more but that's all I can think of right now.

Cowboy Bebop

Spoiler

When Ed leaves.
If nothing else, it's the song that freaking makes that scene.

The last episode of the second season of The Familiar of Zero had me crying like a baby for a couple minutes. Damn Sito is such a man!

And for the most entered next to Clanned, Angelbeats. The end is not what got me when a certain someone goes bye bye. It was the credits where it showed the whole group and one by one they passed on. I cried for a good 15 minutes. Angelbeats wins the award for most bittersweet ending of all time in anything ever.

Edit: Sword Art Online had me crying at the last couple episodes for both games. I would be crying 5 minutes into an episode. The feels man...

Full Metal Alchemist.
You know the part.
It's just so sudden.

I've cried A LOT over the years. I remember the first time I saw Samurai X. I cried so much. The tears wouldn't stop coming. Might as well make a list of shows,movies,and OVAs that did it for me.

Samurai X OVAs
Naruto - this is an emotial show for a shounen series.
Casshern Sins - This show so effectively cast me in a state of depression.
Hukuto no Ken(Fist of the North Star)
Kikaider
Blue Gender
Saber Marionette R
Grave of the Fire Flies
Heroic age
Bubblegum Crisis 2040
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Jin Roh
Millennium Actress
Wolf's Rain
Armored Fleet Dairugger
Blood Reign: Curse of Yoma
Black Lion
Haibane Renmei

I've seen so many shows that have made me cry with joy,sorrow and so many other feelings mixed in. This would be such a long list. These are the shows I can remember off the top of my head for now. Lastly if you can't shed tears for Grave of the Fire Flies, you obviously don't have a soul.

 

[Little Woodsman]

This could get to be a long list....
-Air
-Haibane Renmei
-Voices of a Distant Star
-Who's Left Behind
-Grave of the Fireflies
-Sailor Moon 'R' Movie
-Ah! My Goddess! Movie (Different kind of crying)
-Sugar the Little Snow Fairy
-Certain Episodes of Urusei Yatsura
-Voices of a Distant Star
-Magic Knight Rayearth
-Fushigi Yugi
-Full Metal Alchemist
-Akazukin Cha Cha

I'd probably better stop there.....

Steins Gate provoked the happy tears with the final line of Episode 25.

Like the example on Page 1, I also got tears from Digimon Tamer's finale.

Every anime I have seen has made me cry. With frustration. Because they don't make any goddamned sense. Except Afro Samaurai. And Dragon Ball Z. They were awesome.

Where did you find that avatar? That is hilarious.

Cowboy Bebop: When they are watching the beta tape of young Faye giving a message to her imagined future self. Such innocent optimism being expressed for someone that doesn't even remember who she was, and has become so cynical and closed off from everyone. It gets me every time.

Blue Gender: At the very end.

Angel Beats

Up until now the only anime that managed to make me cry.

 

[Julius Terrell]

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

I don't understand all the love for code Geass. The show was good but the story didn't have anywhere near the emotional punch that Samurai X had. I probably forgot to add Kare Kano to that list. That show really knew how to pull at my heart.

It takes a genuine story and characters to move me to tears. It takes characters I can relate to. You can't expect to get an emotional response if the show seems to force the emotions, or just seems to try to do something for the sake of that response. I remember feeling that way about Saikano. I loved the premise, but the show didn't really feel authentic. All I ended up doing was rolling my eyes half the time ever time someone died for no reason. A good story makes the viewer care about what happens to the characters.

Don't usually cry a lot for anime but Chrono Crusades made me shed tears as well as Sword Art Online =,)
Great anime's though!

 

[randomrob1968]

it's the music that gets me---

Gunslinger Girl, when Jose meets Henrietta on the roof to stargaze... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuXdpr2Nk2U

Read or Die, the TV. When Nenene runs off at night in the rain and the sisters look for her.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmUI_ncXWuA

oh, and Tokyo Godfathers. That whole film gets me.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Cowboy Bebop, eps 24-26. Also whenever Space Lion plays.

 

[FireAza]

We Still Don`t Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day was full of feels for me. Gunslinger Girl, Chobits, Grave of the Fireflies too and THAT episode of the original Full Metal Alchemist. You know the one.
