An anime that made you cry

[SckizoBoy]

Grave of the Fireflies


If you said anything else, go watch it then come back here and edit your post.

Truest post so far... v_v

Adding another vote to Grave of the Fireflies and adding Barefoot Gen. Both are true "horrors of war" stories through the eyes of children, and there are absolutely no punches pulled. If you can get through Grave without tearing up, I'm pretty sure you're an emotional cripple.

At least Barefoot Gen has a happy-ish ending... GotF is just plain up *waaaaaaaaaaaaaah* ending!

OT: Once again, I'm pissed off because I am yet again the first to mention... and I apologise in advance for this but:

[HEADING=2]Tokyo Magnitude 8.0[/HEADING]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

Anyway, excuse me. Other than that, as mentioned Grave of the Fireflies, but also, Ballad of a Shinigami and Gunslinger Girl (more the manga but also at the ending hospital scene in the first anime).

Clannad, oddly enough, didn't make me cry, nor did it come close... I think it's because I have some sort of immunity to those harem-themed adaptations of visnovs... *shrug* And CG:R2's ending came damned close too...

Pretty much what this says:

Still, 'twas only one tear.

Death Note - in a "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER?!" way
Koducha - in a pitiful "that's sooooo saaaaad" way
Cos I'm cool ¬_¬

Trigun.

Wolfwood you asshole, GET UP! FOR FUCK'S SAKE, GET UP!!!

I'm currently watching Clannad and it is boring as shit. I mean, I'll finish it and give the rest of it a chance, but it's not exactly holding my interest right now.

As for other anime, no show I've ever watched has made me actually cry, but scenes from shows like Fullmetal Alchemist, Code Geass, and Trigun definitely made me sad.

One Piece.

Spoiler

Oda sure knows how to give people a pretty memorable death, Ace died, I cried, then 2 episodes later Whitebeard died and I cried. Also Whitebeards sacrifice made me tear up... and there's the Going Merry's funeral which made me cry...

One piece is my guilty pleasure anime. I usually watch "good" anime like Cowboy Bebop And Samurai Champloo but I love one piece as well.

The Chopper and Robin arks got pretty close. Sad, sad histories.

Complete agreement. It's the whole point of the anime...

...anyone who thinks he is alive is missing the point.

When Ash freed his butterfree in pokemon :'( hahaha, It's kinda sad that I'm half serious about that >.>

 

[itsausernamewhatofit]

I don't remember if I've ever really shed a tear over an anime although I'm certain I have come close. The endings of both Code Geass and Death Note gave me pause.

Cowboy Bebop. The song "Memory" by the Seatbelts gets me every damn time. I get that distant look in Spike's eyes everytime I here it. Needless to say, it's on my youtube playlist of relaxing/thinking music. Look it up.

Don't need to, I bought the first soundtrack for Cowboy Bebop after finishing it because the Seatbelts have played some of my favorite songs of all time. I was blown away with the way the created a band for one anime and released something like eight albums.
For those less educated than you or I:
and as a bonus:

When watching Clannad After Story, i got something in my eye. Several times. And dear god, did that something made my eyes wet...weird, isn't it.
Also, some parts in trigun, Ano Hana and some others were tearjerkers alright, tho nothing beats Clannad After story in my opinion.

 

[Wintermoot]

the ending of Gunbuster which I still say is better then Gurren Lagann COME AT ME GUYS!
strangle I didn't cry at the end of Grave of the fireflies.

 

[WayOutThere]

I'm 13 episodes into Clannad After Story. Episodes one through eight are good and all but it's been episodes nine through thirteen that have been AMAZING. They haven't been tragic so I haven't outright bawled but I have cried several tears now. Seriously, these episodes have been telling a sublime romance story. I just hope the rest of the show maintains the same level of quality.

Made me cry? Clannad makes everyone and everything cry. Clannad breaks your mind, soul, and emotions into tiny chunks, smashing them repeatedly and brutally until they're nothing but dust, then slowly and painfully reforms that dust back into your mind, soul, and emotions, eventually leaving them whole and better off, but forever branded with the extreme highs and heartbreaking lows of its story. Clannad absolutely breaks you, and it's an amazing experience that you can never forget.

Others I've cried in are Kanon, Steins;Gate, Digimon Tamers, Angel Beats!, and though it's not actually anime, I'm going to stick Avatar: The Last Airbender on the list, because it's the greatest show ever made and made me cry multiple times (and more each time I watch it).

honestly this clannad story i read about...yeah it didnt really phase me at all. i guess im a cold heartless person but it didnt. oh well.

hmmm something that made me cry....harry potter and the deathly hallows part2 in snapes flashback...in part one when dobby dies.. and in goblet of fire when cedrick dies....but only once did any of those make me cry the first time i saw them that is......oh....oh yeah spoiler alert fro those not wanting spoilers

The end of eureka 7,
Code geass, the special zone
Chobits
Thats all I can think of. now

 

[XvxHotaruxvX]

Well, nothing.
Clannad: After Story came pretty damn close a few times, but i held firm.

I agree, that got me pretty close, but what similar things have happened to me in real life. So Clannad would of had to went a little further to make me feel so sad I cry.

 

[xXGeckoXx]

Is it wrong that I nearly cried at the end of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann?

 

[TheOmegaMan]

So many moments in the 2003 version of Fullmetal Alchemist. I thought the thing with Nina was more cry-worthy than the funeral. Though They were both really sad. And of course "her" death.

 

[Zajber]

The first Pokemon movie. I was like 6 or something at the time; I was crying when Ash was turned into stone.

This. Only one I can remember and it still gets me all misty (rimshot) when I watch or even think about it.

 

[Karthesios]

The ending of episode 8 of Claymore nearly did it for me. That scene was the equivalent of a punch in the gut for me.

 

[dvd_72]

I'll be honest and say that Fullmetal Alchemist brotherhood has a few moments that induced a tear or two. .... excuse me, I'm going to go watch it for the fifth time this year.

 

[Mana Fiend]

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and Cardcaptor Sakura...

I would like to defend the last one with the fact that I watched the entire 70 episodes and the movies over a week where I was ill. The mocking may now commence.
