Animes That Make You Cry

[Kuroyuki Studios]

I just finished watching Clannad After Story. I cried so many times while watching the show...So much that I got a headache from crying. But, it was an amazing story. What's everyone's favorite tear jerking anime?

[amb4manga]

Last Exile
School Days
Transformers: The Movie
R.O.D.: Read or Die

[stinkyfranki]

I think Toradora was probably my biggest sobfest. But that just because I was so sad for Minori. I don't think I've cried that much even with all other shows combined. Not a good moment for a dude like myself. And Five Centimeter Per Second was pretty sad too I think.

[Zuiichi]

Pokemon the first movie. You cried and you know it

[LOLWTFBBQ]

I have trouble actualy crying, but Toradora! sure brought me close

[darkzi]

clannad AS and Chrno Crusade

[jinzo64]

a little snow fairy sugar.

[Zuiichi]

I keep hearing this
"the ending of lucky star made me sad, i wanted to cry"
.........wusses

[jinzo64]

i wanted to cry not cos it was sad just cos it ended

[Riaki]

I cried duiring mahoromatic i couldnt beleieve she sacrificed herself then the stupid assanin ending : (

[jinzo64]

the end of azumanga was kinda of sad

[SleeplessPanda]

Pokemon the first movie. You cried and you know it

Anyone who saw that movie when they were a kid, and didn't cry when Pikachu was trying to revive Ash's lifeless body with thundershocks, has no soul. D:

On that note: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/494466

[jinzo64]

i cried when light died

and the first time i saw pokemon the movie i cried a bit.

[animemental1]

Well, I didn't cry (but I did feel sad).

I've never really cried (maybe it's just the Asperger's Syndrome I was diagnosed with), but there were 2 (possibly more) moments in anime that nearly made me cry.

1. Lucky Star moment in...I think episode 23, where the soul of Kanata (Konata's mother) revisited her house. The scene nearly made me cry, if they hadn't put in that camera gag at the end.

2. Ending of Abenobashi Episode 7. I didn't cry...but deep down inside, I did.

I'm gonna see if Clannad + After Story can make me cry. I don't really like to cry, but still...I'm curious to see the plot.

[Issitheus]

I have never cried because of an anime.

But Clannad After Story and Kanon brought me pretty damn close.

[SleeplessPanda]

I know it's not an anime obviously, but I cried like a little girl near the end of "Moulin Rouge". D:

[jinzo64]

i cried at the end of titanic i was so happy it ended.

[domo18]

damn near cried at the end of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

[jinzo64]

yeah that was quite a sad movie
my mate found it boring

[NodMan]

Nothing. The closest thing to get me to cry as of the past 10 years was this season of House second episode. It was close but still nothing.

[jinzo64]

yes that episode was quite sad.

i think an anime version of house would be cool

[Chewi105]

pokemon. i cry for my pity of people that watch pokemon, or for that matter, bakugan. Even for BEYBLADE

[thedarkmessenger]

episode 19 of Naruto made me cry the first time I saw it...japanese version, of course :p

[Chillpalazzo]

Episode 24 of excel saga.

[Leef]

Episode 24 of excel saga.

^lol

I had a lump in my at some points in Now and Then, Here and There

[XxFabiGBxX]

Elfen lied...

[AKALink]

I've never been tear jerked by an anime enough to make me cry. But Oran Idiots test and Summonded beings made me cry with laughter.

[humnut]

Alright, Clannad After Story pretty much put me in tears, But Air's ending actually depressed me. At Least Clannad had a happy ending. Also, there was a point in Koi Kaze that gave me a lump in my throat. Toradora too. Bokurano and Shadow Star had moderatly sad endings. But by far the most tear-jearkingly sad thing ever is Grave of the Fireflies. Owned.

"Grave of the Fireflies" . . You people with your amvs, and talking about it on the forums . . You made me watch this movie. I'm . . I'm not even going to be able to sleep tonight. Not only am I too depressed, I think I'll need to drink 100 gallons of water just to replace what I lost after crying so hard at the last part. My sister's coming up to visit tomorrow, I'll have to try not to get too emotional. D:

[Chewi105]

okay, i almost cried when i read the end of Azumanga Diaoh. I wish it was still going

[jinzo64]

i know what you mean.

[Chewi105]

i havent reachd the end of Lucky Star yet, but im sure ill cry.....probably

[jinzo64]

no you won't not at the end of lucky star i thought it was quite funny.
but it was sad that it ended

[Chewi105]

yea i HATE when funny animes or any anime for that matter end. i always feel there could be more

[jinzo64]

thats true i want more lucky star.

[Kajimura]

I haven't watched it yet O_o

[NodMan]

episode 19 of Naruto made me cry the first time I saw it...japanese version, of course :p

One Thousand Years Of Pain?


yea i HATE when funny animes or any anime for that matter end. i always feel there could be more

So you think after Episode 26, Excel Saga could have kept going? :P

[XelaisPWN]

I'd rather anime end. If you let something keep going, you're inevitably going to run out of ideas. It's sad to let the series go, but it's all for the best.

[Leef]

If I were to recommend two animes to someone that does not watch anime, It would be Akira and Grave of the Fireflies.

[ThePsychoGamer]

Never, though one part that always baffles me that people find sad is SPOILERS

When Asuna died near the ending of Negima! It's not like she was a well developed character, or like it easy to relate to her. And with the horrid animation and writing up to then you really knew that they wouldn't end with the depressive reality that once some one dies there gone for good (you know good writing ). (Shaft remake, Negima!?, also didn't really do a good job of developing Asuna's character, but I found there version it was just easier to relate to Asuna in that version, I'd also like to add in that Shaft fixed a lot of issues with the original (anime) Making a series that while isn't perfect, but is still a lot of fun).

[thedarkmessenger]

One Thousand Years Of Pain?


I believe it was 19 O_o might have been a different episode around that. I'll have to check.

[animemental1]

Wasn't it during the Zabuza arc?

[thedarkmessenger]

yup

[stinkyfranki]

This comment WILL ruin Clannad After Story for you if you haven't seen it. So don't read it if you don't want that!

I just finished watching Clannad After Story! All I can say is holy sh*t! During the first half of the show I was wondering why everyone thought the show was so sad. It was just like the original show. But then Nagisa died and my mind was blown. And then, as if it couldn't get any worse, Ushio dies! But it was funny how they just ended up saying, "No wait, that wasn't what happened." And then just shot back 5 years with the happy ending. Although I can understand why because if I was Tomoya after that, I would have just grabbed a gun and blown my brains out. Seriously, how could you even go on living after that all those horrible things?!

But on a happier note, I loved his daughter. If I ever have a kid I want her to be like that.

That's almost exactly how I felt half way through. Air was worse though. Imagine Clannad AS, but only at that point that everything goes so wrong and horrible and your depressed and your just looking for a happy ending... and it just stops. It leaves you a little hollow inside :(

[stinkyfranki]

Yeah, I watched Air first. I loved the first couple of episodes, but then they went into the whole angel thing and i didn't think it was as good. I thought that they could have made the show so much better. And then I saw Clannad and it was exactly what I wanted. Haha, and I agree. Air's ending was a lot more depressing!

[humnut]

Then have you seen Kanon?

[stinkyfranki]

Not yet. Although I plan on watching it sometime soon. Netflix has this stupid thing where they only have two or three discs in series. They have 1,2,5, and 6 but not the others. It really annoys me because I can't watch what little anime they have. I hear it's good though. What did you think of it?

[humnut]

I enjoyed it. It was cute and had nice ending, no lose ends or anything. If you want I could find you a torrent for the whole thing.

[Chewi105]

i might start reading deathnote after i finish watching azumanga diaoh, reading and watching lucky star

[stinkyfranki]

Really? That would be awesome! I usually try to only watch anime on Netflix, borrow it, or buy it. But I have no money at the moment. So I'd be super grateful if you could!

[jinzo64]

i waiting for clannad to come in the post.

i thought the death of halibel was quite sad.

[domo18]

The death of Nicholas D. Wolfwood in trigun didn't make me cry, but it sure as hell pissed me off

[Pain]

I cryed by Highschool o the Dead Its sooooo amazing!

[jinzo64]

i almost cried at the death of goku during the cell games

[Doomimus]

I've yet to watch an anime that made me cry, so I'll just list the only three movies that did:
Passion of the Christ
Schindler's List
United 93

I was a frickin' mess by the time the last one was over.

[Chewi105]

i almost cried at the death of goku during the cell games
yea i was also sad when i finished reading DBZ i HATE when manga/anime ends

[jinzo64]

it didn't make me cry but i felt sorry for chichi,gohan,goten and all of gokus friends when he leaves in the last episode with ubb.

[Chewi105]

but then they feel compell to destroy the series with GT

[jinzo64]

i cried after gt becuase it hurt.
i also cried at the end of db evolution coz that hurt even more.

[Chewi105]

i hated the ending to Sonic X (i watched it on the CW11 when i was little.) In fact, the space saga was so long and boring i almost dropped it

[jinzo64]

i watched a bit of sonic x i thought the were cosmo turned into a tree was quite sad.

[Darthelm]

Susaka and episode 19 of rahXephon. oh and also the ending of Chobits

[sonnytiger]

-Elfen Lied
-Air
-Lucky Star (Kanata moment)
-Ending to Chobits

-Puni Puni Poemi (/joke)

[XelaisPWN]

The English dub of One Piece makes me cry. Does that count?

[Darthelm]

Pilot Candidate because it was such a great anime but never got its full potential in video form

[Nikoyi]

Persona Trinity Soul. That ending felt like there was nothing for the brothers to do but keep going after every horrible thing that had happened

[Shibbidah]

Clannad!!! (After Story to be specific) I still can't hear the theme without welling up.

[flamingbambi]

Oh god pretty much anything can make me cry...

To list the ones I remember:
Kanon (a LOT.)
Elfen Lied (also a LOT.)
Nana (every...single..time)
Ai****eruze Baby (the manga but whatever..)
Higurashi (again, the manga)

[humnut]

Two words, American Gundam. Makes me cry. T_T

[jinzo64]

the death of doomsday in superman vs doomsday.

[Backmask]

the death of doomsday in superman vs doomsday.

Superman vs. Doomsday was very irrelevant to the comics that involved Doomsday. In the comics, Doomsday had an accelerated adaptation process and accelerated healing. The accelerated healing can bring him back to life. The Death of Superman is the closest comic, in relevance, to the movie, but that isn't saying much. In the comic, he killed Superman, but was killed in the process. His body was attached to a boulder and launched into space. While on the boulder, Doomsday's accelerated healing activates and revives him. Doomsday is just a "He won't die, even if we killed him" character.

[Pain]

I cried by Hotd and azumnanga

[jinzo64]

the fact azumanga ended was sad wheres my OVA?

[Pain]

the fact azumanga ended was sad wheres my OVA?

what OVA?

[stinkyfranki]

I gotta say. Last episode of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 was a little bit of a tear jerker. i wasn't expecting it. i thought it was just an animation error when Mari was holding Yuki's backpack and then they showed him in the back of that truck with it on. But now I understand. It was to hint of what was going on.

[jinzo64]

bleach made me cry several times this month. filler,filler,filler then i cried when i found out next weeks epiosde gos back to the normal story.

[thedarkmessenger]

I don't watch too many sad animes :o

[jinzo64]

it wasn't that bleach is sad it's just the filler episodes make me sad.

[Kaiju]

The end of the massacre arc of Higurashi Kai was a tear jearker...if I could cry.
But...there was one death in Gurren Lagann, that everyone cries over...

[thedarkmessenger]

I didn't O_o

[jinzo64]

neither did but then again i havn't watched it.
but the death of halibel brings a small tear to my eye.

[mattroks101]

I cried when L died in Death Note because I knew without him, the show would suck.

(he was the only character in that show i didn't want to strangle for one reason or another)

[jinzo64]

i didn't lke l the first time i watched death note because i totaly supported light but when i watched it again i relised light was killing to many inercent people so i kinda felt sad when l died on my second run through.

[stinkyfranki]

The Tales of Symphonia anime made me cry. Pretty badly too. I watched the anime before I played the game. So it made it much more emotional

[Guthix]

hm... only choping onions can bring me something close to tears.
if i remember correct the litle girl [monika i think her name is], from elfen lied,prolly the only scene i felt sorry for a anime character [unfortunatly im into lolis now]

[mattroks101]

I have not tears for anything, because I'm a man!!! :P

[Backmask]

I have not tears for anything, because I'm a man!!! :P

Have you heard of manly tears? Only manly men shed manly tears.

[Leef]

Windaria was a sad anime movie. I got a lump in my throat at the end but that might just be the tumor acting up.

[mattroks101]

Have you heard of manly tears? Only manly men shed manly tears.

I don't even shed those, that's how manly I am.

[Barty64]

The only anime to ever make me feel sad is Haibane Renmei but i've never cried at one

[stinkyfranki]

Was watching Valkyria Chronicles. Started getting a little teary eyed until Welkin butchered his crying scene. I busted out laughing. :D Oh yeah, Japanese dubs are flawless...

[Kaiju]

The Original FMA ending. ;_;

[jinzo64]

clannad made me cry.

but i still weep for chi-chi of dbz

[KlausJuergen]

The ending of Chrono Crusade: tear waterfall.

[Darthelm]

clannad afterstory is the only one that made me bawl like a baby

[jinzo64]

i havn't watched after story but i was realy moved by fuko's story in clannad

[RBRat3]

Ive got some anime under my belt but ill be damned that clannad after story is the only anime that was a tear jerker for me its also worse if you can relate to it XD. Someone on the first page said school days and I wondered what was sad about it?

[Shibbidah]

Clannad: After Story

[Guthix]

cant say its anime but this made me actualy cry....TWICE!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qucz-rYnnMc

[SarcotarascusN]

Wolf's Rain. But not until the antepenultimate episode. I broke down crying when Toboe died.

Parts of "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time".

One (just one) very moving scene in Metropolis made me bawl. I have mixed opinions about that movie, but this one scene hit the emotions just right.

Cowboy Bebop's antepenultimate episode, where Ed and Ein (one of my favorite pairs) leave and Spike and Jet sit and eat eggs until the credits roll. It sounds strange, but with the way it's edited (along with the choice of music) its a very moving scene.
