Something you didn't expect to make you cry but did

[Lunar Templar]

the ending of the Witchblade anime

it made me really sad in light of the REST of the show's personal drama

Not too long ago, I was in my local Blockbuster with my sister. We were on a Studio Ghibli kick, and we were looking for something we hadn't already rented. I then noticed a movie on the rack that we hadn't watched yet, so we rented it.

I went in expecting a charming film from Studio Ghibli. I got this:

I... I... I don't even know what to say. So I'll let this motivational poster speak for me:

I didn't expect to cry when I saw the Star Trek TNG episode called The Inner Light. I couldn't help but tear up a bit.

The minute's silence on Rememberance day sometimes gets me. I know the number of lives lost in war is tragic and I have nothing but respect for those the minute's silence is meant to honour, but I never really expect to find myself being genuinely sad about people who died decades before I was born.

Aerith's death theme in FF7, I am a guy who doesn't usually emote to anything but that fucker gets me everytime lol

Of all the things, i ended up shedding a few tears while writing the script for my game, albeit a rather sad one. I felt rather weird with myself after that and I'm starting to wander if it's normal for writers to have that happen to them at some points when writing a script..

The ending to Toy Story 3. I may have to sacrifice one of my man cards, but its worth it to make my point. I remember the first Toy Story as being one of my earliest movies and it always had a special place in my heart. It was weird seeing the third one because I was around Andy's age and had just started college, so the ending hit close to home. In a way, I hope there won't be any more Toy Story movies (aside from maybe one or two more shorts). Sometimes "happily ever after" is all there is left to say.

Don't worry, you don't have to sacrifice a man card...because even I, an outright cynical bastard, ended up shedding some tears at that ending due to the fact i grew up with Toy Story.

Two main ones for me:
The ending of Wolf's Rain, just the last few episodes made me cry like a *****.
Some moments in Spice and Wolf (especially Season 2), some out of sadness, some out of joy.

 

[Bealzibob]

the ending to Deus Ex: Human Revolution, that one death scene in Deus Ex: Human Revolution (if you've played it, you'll know what I mean), the drowning scene in Cave Story.

Also these. Infact I have a feeling that if I go through this whole thread I will eventually be ninja'd on everything. Damn escapist community being likemindly susceptable to tear-jerkers.

Which ending do you mean there? Because I picked the 'augments are awesome' cutscene, and those were tears of joy - it just seemed to work so well. No idea why most people hated it.

Sorry I was more referencing to the "that one death scene in Deus Ex: Human Revolution (if you've played it, you'll know what I mean)" but when it comes to the ending I felt the satisfied afterglow that i get from a good universe and it's story ending (see: comment on portal 2) rather than tears of joy.

PS: I think I also picked the augments are good.

I don't cry. I don't know why. But the ending of Half Life: Episode 2 almost made me cry. And the fanfic My Little Dashy made me want to cry. :|

Which death scene? I'm guessing you mean

But I genuinely can't figure out which one for sure.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Sengoku Basara 3. It's basically an over-the-top awesome ahistorical Samurai Warriors-type hack'n'slash, with more funny and gloriously hammy characters and voice acting than you can shake a non-kosher stick at...

And then came Ieyasu's red path ending.

And Oichi in general.

Yeah...turns out, when the game gets serious, it does it surprisingly well.

There was this Star Wars book called Death Troopers which is where zombies get involved with a Star Destroyer and there's this prison ship that wrecks nearby. There are these two brothers (early teens) who get caught up in all the events. Also, there's Han Solo and Chewbacca, but nonetheless..
I teared up when

Spoiler

One of the brothers was bitten, and the other had to leave him behind with a medical officer without supplies to try and find a working ship.
It felt weird, for at that moment, I suddenly imagined my brother and I in the situation... and I admit it was rather saddening.
It makes matters worse the surviving brother finds his other again, zombified, with half-of his face missing and has to kick the corpse into a shaft of zombies to be killed again.

I don't mean to sound insensitive or anything, but I cried, extremely unexpectedly, when I heard Steve Jobs died. I mean, he has created many great products and was a technological genius, but its not like I ever knew him personally or anything. I had never even thought of him very much until he died...

 

[JoesshittyOs]

The Futurama episode where Bender goes to space and meets God. It was strangely touching and inspiring.

Other than that, nothing really. Anything with a dog dying will keep me depressed for a few hours afterward.

 

[JCBFGD]

Bicentennial Man & Stand By Me made me cry. I dunno if I just suck that bad, or if it was the fact that it was 4 AM when I watched both movies. My guess is the 4 AM.

 

[Rooster893]

The ending to Klonoa: Door to Phantomile.

Sweet jesus, that was a sucker punch to the gonads.

Dammit that end scene, I was aged perfectly with all those movie also. I loved the toy stories and saw everyone in theater till 3, then for some reason I rented it and god I was nearly balling, but had company with me so I needed to keep a strait face.

 

[SneeringCanuck]

Every time, especially around rememberance day.

I've only really cried a few times since I was a child, and children cry about a lot of things simply because emotion makes little sense to a newly forming mind... let me just say, the last time I cried, it was sobbing mixed with howls of pain I've never once issued before or since, I've nearly lost my life due to physical injuries, in those situations the most that excaped my lips was a grunt of frustration and a few colourful pieces of language... this, this was a deep tear in my emotional strata, twas the first and so far only time I have ever fallen in love, only to have my heart torn from my chest and cast upon the dusty floor of life, amid all the broken glass and fragments of all I ever held dear... I think it was so hard for me because for nearly a decade the most emotion I ever felt or expressed was relatively mild, I couldn't really feel much for the longest time it was like wandering in a foggy world where nothing really made sense or moved, or made a sound... like a blanketing fog between me and everyone else.

I have long since recovered from the pain, but I remember every emotion the good and the bad every feeling with vivid clarity, like a movie, but I'm in it.

The time before that was years before, when I realized exactly what I had done, or rather what I was about to do... and that I won't get into on a public forum, 'tis rather private, and it haunts me, in so many dreams, so many ways, it'll never leave me, it will taint who I am and all I choose to do, and remind me that I must stay in control of myself, and constantly strive to change who I am from the abomination I once was...

It's kinda funny, because I genuinely have a hard time crying... it's difficult for me to issue forth tears even when I feel it would be a right good time, nothing but dry heat followed by scorn internaly for being such a sad excuse for a person, such a worthless man...

I tend to try and live a positive life, and try to make other's lives better, try to work my hardest and live my hardest, to challenge everything and to fight hard, because I've got a lot of things to make up for, and every time something nice happens to me karma seems determined to make me suffer shortly afterwards for it, usually good things are followed by a near death experience, the loss of my job, the loss of a loved one, the loss of a friend, or just something bad happening.

So I will toil, I will strive to become better and to help others better themselves, otherwise I may as well not exist.

I can't personally recall any instances where I was affected this way myself,but the MLP fic "My Little Dashie" seems to have this effect on people quite profoundly.
