The jerking of tears

[Padwolf]

Memories of Matsuko. All of it. Seriously people for the love of god I've been mentioning it for months now, go and watch this film, you will not be disappointed!

The end of Prison Break. Goddamnit. Just goddamnit.

Lilo and Stitch had me in tears for pretty much an hour. It all began at the start when Lilo was being bullied and excluded. All the adverts and all the hype had me thinking it was going to be a fun ride, filled with laughter. Oh how wrong I was.

Lost Odyssey. Damn that game and it's short stories.

Lost Odyssey. Damn that game and it's short stories.

Lost Odyssey was a bad one for me too. I never finished the game, so I only read something like 5 stories. I was broken by the first one. I think the one about the Flowers and Kaim was just as beautiful.

As for me:
Everyone thinks I am crazy about not liking Up. Let me be clear: The first 10 minutes never made me cry, ever. I was moved by it, but I never cried, and the movie never got better then that scene to me.
Why I didn't cry: Mary and Max. This movie is on Netflix Instant Queue. Don't look up anything about it. Go watch it, and then come back. You will cry at some point. It also has Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Max. Thinking about that movie now with his passing makes that movie much sadder in hindsight. It should have won the Academy Award for best Animated Picture. It wasn't even nominated. Go see it, and then you will understand why I can't rightly vote for Up. It hit me harder than Ellie and Carl did.

Also to note:
The Robert Altman film Popeye. I fought tears twice during that movie, and a single manly tear fell for Popeye singing Sweet Pea's Lullaby. I'm getting a little choked up thinking about it now.
When I played Katawa Shoujo, My Waifu Rin's ending, nary, her whole story was beautiful to me. I loved it. I haven't beaten the game, but I don't know if anybody will move me more than Rin. I shed a tear or two.
That's off the top of my head.
I admit to myself now that I can't watch Punch Drunk Love without crying at some point.

 

[IllumInaTIma]

Every single death in Mass Effect 3. I mean...
<spoiler=god damnit><Mordin. Such an honorable death. Just to see him give up his life to fix a mistake of his past. Just seeing him yell "That was a mistake!" is shocking.
Thane. Even during your last moments you kicked more ass than anyone in existence. And then you proceed to make me cry by reading that prayer?!
Legion. Just... just Legion...
What I really love about them, is that their deaths was the ultimate moment of their character development.

And then there's Persona 4. And sure, that game made me cry a lot, but nothing could compare to the moment at the river, especially the way it was shown in Persona 4: Animation.

No one dies in that scene. No one makes a sacrifice. It's just a father and daughter finally getting to talk to each other and embrace each other. It's just so simple and touching.

 

[FPLOON]

Spoiler: P.S.

HOW COULD YOU MAKE THAT JOKE?!

OT: The "Thank You", "I Remember You", and "Simon and Marcy" from Adventure Time... The first one caught me off-guard a bit and the last one was more from the song reference it makes in said episode...

Also, despite The LEGO movie being the first movie that made me cry in the theater, I will say that 2011's The Muppets was SO CLOSE to making me jerk my tears back into my eye sockets...

Moral of the story: Nostalgia wants me to cry these days...

 

[madwarper]

There are two scenes that always cause me to well up.

Spoiler: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

When Alphonse transmutes his soul to return Ed's Arm to him.

Spoiler: Ghost in the Shell: SAC

When the tachikomas sacrifice themselves to take down the armored suit, protecting Batau.

 

[Mister K]

1. Ending of Final Fantasy X. It is just so well done. Six times I've played it, six times I shead a tear.

2. TellTale's Walking dead. So many feelings. So many tears. "Keep those hair short". Why, Lee? Why?!

3. Somehow, Mako's flashbacks in Pacific Rim makes my eyes wet.

4. Too many scenes in Disney animation.

 

[McElroy]

I get teary-eyed way too easy with these things. Someone dies, yep, someone's about to die, yep, someone reads a letter, yep, someone writes a letter, yeah, a beatiful shot, yep, a bunch of beutiful shots in a row with good music in the background - I gotta pause the film to dry my face. Most of WALL-E, for instance.

 

[The Almighty Aardvark]

So...

Spoiler: P.S.

HOW COULD YOU MAKE THAT JOKE?!

That is just all kinds of awful.

I think I'm one of the only people who didn't cry during Grave of the Fireflies. I didn't find it sad, just very depressing. I however did bawl my eyes out during Telltale's the Walking Dead so I may still have a heart somewhere.

Speaking of Fullmetal Alchemist though:

Spoiler: Spoiler for Brotherhood and the manga

Maes Hughes' death. Just everything about it got to me. The worst was seeing Mustang at the funeral, I always find far more sad to see someone trying not to cry.

 

[Fox12]

Oh God. Perfect timing. I just finished reading the manga version of this:


Narutaru is fun light hearted entertainment for the whole family!

*cough cough*

You can tell because it's made by the guy behind Serial Experiments Lain and the people who worked on Neon Genesis Evangelion.

*cough cough*

Edit: But yeah, I'm going to be depressed for a while. Check this thing out.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Ok, going on a bit of a different tangent to everyone else, but:

Spoiler

 

[Autumnflame]

pretty much all the parts of pixar movies.
including tangled and frozen.

Many parts of many games too many to mention have had me full of tears

 

[MiskWisk]

My mind is clearly broken because I keep reading this as "The Jerking Off Tears". I'm not sure why, but it just keeps happening.

Nope, that's my average Friday night. Zing!

...

God I'm lonely.

[sub][sub]That's actually what I thought it said at first.[/sub][/sub]

Trust me, you're not the only one. It's a strange, strange mental image.

Yes! Exactly what I was going for!

 

[Daggedawg]

The final dungeon and boss fights in Nier, and Ending C.

 

[Roofstone]

The closest is people I like suffering I suppose, any kind of suffering.

I've never actually been sad or anything though, I don't understand people who react to such an emotional extent that they cry, it is fiction! I don't comprehend it..

I'll go like "aww", but not full on tears.

Edit: I stand corrected by myself, when playing Katawa Shoujo. Well I don't wish to spoil anything, but suffice to say that during the good ending of Lily's route I was shouting to the best of my ability at the computer.

Fall down on the floor without my permission? Not effing likely. :E

 

[Scars Unseen]

Visual Novels in general have a tendency to spend a long time letting you grow attached to a cast of characters before doing terrible things to them. In particular, I still find myself getting teary and having difficulty breathing when I hear music from Muv-Luv Alternative. Combined with its prequel, Muv-Luv, it gave me about 150 hours plus of plot and character development, and its ending could be considered bittersweet at best.

EDIT: By the way, this song is probably the one that affects me most from the soundtrack. Don't read the comments... they're spoilery

 

[Villain Protagonist]

The two that immediately come to mind are the El train scene in Spider-man 2.


That and Courtnee Draper's rendition of Let the Circle Be Unbroken. It was so emotional she even chokes up during the song.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

While not exactly tearjerking, this video always makes me feel... conflicted, especially considering who's speaking:
