What anime / manga makes you cry?

[Addie777]

The question is not what Animes make me cry, but what Animes don't make me cry. -.-;;

[haloe12]

Elfen Lied (dunno why, it just does)

Air (Defenatly! It will make anyone cry or come pretty darn close to it.)

Inuyasha (Y'know, sad parts in a movie..)

[ImClueless]

Dumbo and Bambi made me want to cry.....oh wait....

[Question]

Tsukihime and Fate/stay night both had sad endings. The visual novel versions had more of the same, and are really worth it if you can find them.

Tsukihime

Spoiler:

Arcueid obtains some of her power back after roa's death and manages to resurrect herself but she doesnt have the power to control her blood lust anymore, and so goes back to eternal sleep in her castle, dreaming about the times she spent with Shiki

Fate/stay night

Spoiler:

Saber goes back to her own time, choosing to die and fulfill her responsibility as king instead of staying with Shirou.

[Jelly]

Air *sniff*
Fushigi Yuugi

Spoiler:

especially when Nuriko died, he was the best!!!

Chrno Crusade
Full moon wo sagashite
Naruto

[bergman]

Tsukihime was kinda touching.

[Tasdern]

I'll have to add Air to my list. The TV version. I'm 40 minutes into the movie version and it doen't have the same emotional level yet.

Serial Experiments Lain.

Why ? Well... if anyone read Chersterton's "The Man who was Thursday", and percieved that Mr. Iwakura's role in the story was not that different from Sunday in Chesterton's novel... well...

I won't say it'd move everyone, but the idea did move me. It's kinda hard to explain, but it's like saying how, no matter how much humanity evolves, God would always be there.

Spoiler:

So you REALLY wanna know why it moved me ?

I like to imagine that Lain, whatever she was throughout the anime was, at the end, revealed to be a 'deity' of some sort. Thee xperience she had throughout the series was but one perspective out of a possible many (in fact, the invite by her alternate self, the 'wired Lain, the ego which others infered on her, suggested that this could've beena cycle). Lain's decision to break the cycle, and not go back to all this, may have fully rendered her alone, despite being at a level of existence higher than others....

But, when we cut to the scene of Mr. Iwakura..... it gets itneresting. You see, the discussion takes place at an area that can be percieved to be between Life and Death, where the inventor of KIDS was seen before he died. In that respect, and aside from Lain's perception of his father, do I thibnk of Mr. Iwakura as God Himself, or rather, a manifestation of God.

The point is, even though Lain was at a level of existence beyond current human awareness and comprehension, she was still somewhat lonely, but, God was still around to listen to her. Of course, this is one interpretation, but the way I see it, and despite the hundred of numerous atheist movements in a world gearing towards clinical immortality, I always think that god would be around, even in an advanced version of humanity.

I have to say Kimi ga Nozomu Eien if you watch it you'll know why, damn that anime was so sad.... The music and the animation fits perfectly with it's wonderful Storyline.... Though i disliked the ending, it was very dramatic nonetheless..

[anselfir]

Ah, not a single one, although I can rate a show's tragic content, I see pretty much the same things go on in life and history.

For KGNE, I dont see how it is a sad ending. The haruka side of the love triangle was misguided from the start, and it certainly is misguided after the accident. obligation is not romantic love.

[Ravage]

- Elfen Lied (at the very end, when the OP music plays like 3 times over and the insecureness of Lucy's fate & stuff)
- Read or Die (in episodes 10 with the story how the three of them met and in episode 11 with Anita and the megane/yuri girl's farewell moment)
- Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien (the end of episode 2 and beginning of episode 3 ofcourse, and maybe at a few other parts in the anime)
- Kanon (sadness in all the girl's arc's, but I only cried during the end of Shiori's arc(episode 9, at the water fountain I believe) and the tree/red snow scene during Ayu's arc at the end(have to keep it a bit spoiler-free) )
- Black Cat (well, the logical scene(-s) in episode 6)
- Aoki Densetsu Shoot (Nooooooo, Kubo )
- Black Lagoon: The 2nd Barrage (the ending episode of the twins' arc)

And I came close to a bit of crying during Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora and Simoun.

I'm such a wussy

It wasn;t misguided, they actually cared for each other at the beginning and the ending well i'm just unhappy that she got dumped cause i like her... and she suffered the most in the anime and i just like her personality.. Well lucky they making a Haruka route anime! woot!

I've seen KGNE, but I didn't find it sad. I didn't like it cause I dont like soap operas and that is pretty much what it is.

Air - the part when Michiru was about to disappear and Minagi and Yukito are with her.

Kanon (2002) - the part when Ayu asked Yuuichi to be forgotten.

Fruits Basket - when Momiji was explaining to Tohru the reason why his mother doesn't know him.

Full Moon wo Sagashite - there's a lot, but the most tear-jerker part was when Mitsuki found the grave of Eiichi.

Gundam SEED - there's a few moments, but the most tear-jerker part would be the last moments of the final episode following the destruction of Yacchin Due (forgot how to spell it, if that's wrong) and G.E.N.E.S.I.S.

Angelic Layer - when Misaki and her mother find each other out in the streets during the rain in the second last episode after Misaki ran away.

Kokoro Library - the part where the girls find the diary of their father that explained why the library was built. Been a while so I'm not sure if this is exactly how it went.

There's probably a few more that I'm forgetting, but those are the ones that come to mind.
