What anime / manga makes you cry?

[Mithfalath]

I'll probably go to the place where I first met up with my first "love" and wait there while playing the piano and listening to my favorite jpop music? Then spend the dying hours with some of my friends. And finally, spend the dying minutes with my family and my one true love, whom I have entrusted my whole life to.

omg I can't believe I typed these. ><

I think I've contributed my fair share of tears over anime/manga but I can't really remember those instances anymore. I do recall crying over the early chapters of Bleach back when I first read them and I definitely remember crying plenty of times throughout Honey & Clover. I felt sad when Archer died in the anime but when I read UBW I was tearing up a storm.

Interestingly enough, I don't think I really cried over Code Geass since I didn't care much for Shirley, and I watched the last episode live first without any idea what the heck is going on. The only part I was really upset over was probably with Euphy.

Spoiler for Fate:

But if Saber did somehow stay with Shirou I would have felt cheated as a viewer. The power of the show comes from such an ending.

Fate/Stay Night brought a tear to my eye as well. one of the sadest endings i have ever seen.

i was also browsing around, and apparently Right of Left, the OAV for Fafner, is a real killer.

[germanturkey]

well, i had forgotten about this one until i thought of it a few days ago... Clannad AS 18.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPGLfVnXb3M

i tear up every time.

[Seitsuki]

I agree, F/SN can be really sad. Interestingly enough Fate was the most emotional for me, followed by UBW but I just couldn't find much sympathy at all for HF..
Something else was Sola.
And even more randomly, some Touhou doujins made me cry -_- stuff like Tonari, it's just so sad..

[Armored Knight]

Well, I am a tough guy but not when it comes to anime. I cried while watching/reading almost every anime/manga. Is there anything wrong with that? My sister, who also watches anime, laughs and makes fun of me because of this XD.

I ran out of tears ( after I filled the room of course ) while watching animes such as Clannad seasons and Mai-Hime. Yes, I didn't just shed tears I was crying! lol. In some of Clannad AS episodes, I cried every two minutes and ran out of tissues. Kimi ga Nozoume Eien and Elfen Lied were so sad and I won't dare to watch them again. And There were many moments to shed tears in Claymore anime & manga which is, of course, one of my favourites.

I think this is just the magic of anime.

[Khu]

Claaaaaaaaannad.

As I'm sure most people have already explained. XD

[DragoZERO]

Yes, number one is Clannad: After Story. I cried-cried. A lot.

As for other series...I tend to cry really easily, more so if the characters on screen are crying as well. I just watched ef - a tale of melodies and I teared up a few times and almost cried once.

Also:
Eureka Seven, but now that I think back, it was really because the characters were crying themselves (there wasn't anything horribly sad or something going on)
Mai-HiME
Bleach

Spoiler:

when Orihime left.

5 Centimeters per Second, enough said.
Saikano, after episode 9 the fansubber had a warning that things were going to get worse and since I cried a few times up til then, I dropped it, lol.

It's really if the characters are crying mostly. Is that weird? lol.

[Knyghtblade]

Tsukuyomi: moon phase

Spoiler for scene:

when Hazuki was in Tears because Kouhei saw her as a monster and she was professed her love.

Ai Yori Aoshi:

Spoiler for scene:

when Tina takes Kaoru back to her old school and confesses and he has to reject her

Ah! My Goddess the last OAV episode

[shadowfang2]

i agree F/SN was pretty sad but i think novel really hit all the endings really well

kyousukey
but Chobits was damn close xD

true that i really thought that the anime series would have gone for long tho.
elfin lied: the ending was really good

Spoiler for elfen lied ending:

there was a bit of debate on who was at the door at the end but i think was lucy (nyu)

[RadiantBeam]

Watching Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, I basically needed a box of tissues right next to me.

Spoiler for Deaths:

Episode 8: Kamina's death.

Episode 24: The deaths of Zorthy, Iraak, Kidd, Makken, Jorgun, and Balinbow. Though honestly, what made me break down and sob was Gimmy's refusal to leave Darry behind.

Episode 25: Kittan's death. Oh, man. Especially his goodbye to Yoko.

Episode 27: Nia's death. Especially since you saw the foreshadowing for it, and then it still felt like it came out of nowhere.

/thread.

Seriously while few other series done it to lesser extent to me; Clannad did it so much more.

[Aimingan12]

Spoiler for Spoilers for Code Geass, Bleach, Negadon:

Code Geass- When Shirley died.
Bleach- When Orihime left.
Negadon: The Monster from Mars- The first episode alone was sad.

[Atlanty]

Clannad. Still can't believe I did that. I watched the first season in like 1 week or so, and watched the movie after. didnt watch season two tho. It's just amazing how that anime plays with ur emotions >.<

What?! Watch the second season NOW and get ready to shed 10 years worth of tears ... or more.

[grylsyjaeger]

I didn't like the first season all that much but yes, After Story is one of the saddest things I've watched. The game is a lot more profound in it but the anime is still commendable.
