Yeah quite a few of those moments made me cry as well. Others that also made me cry:
Cowboy Bepop:spoiler[I'd also add the scenes when Ed and Ein leave and Fay gets her memory back. Watching her lay where her bed use to be in a house that no longer exists...just ugh.] Ghost in the Shell:spoiler[BOTH times the Tachicoma's die, but especially the second time when you know there's just no coming back because they use their own satellite to intercept the bomb, and with them singing to, I just cry like a baby every time.] Puella:spoiler[When Madoka makes her wish and starts saving all the girls from a fate worse then death, but yet they still die. And the fact that she can't save Sayaka without undoing Sayaka's wish.] A relatively new one, the first 10 minutes or so of Kotoura San:spoiler[That scene when she's standing in the rain, and just finds out that the only "friend" she's got, a little kitten has also been taken from her, and she just breaks down into a silent scream.] Last edited by Cloudedmind on Sat Jan 19, 2013 11:11 pm; edited 1 time in total |

For the poll, I voted for Alice Kiriki. She's voiced by Horie Yui! How could I not vote for her?

Why would it have been hilarious? Like, do you like acting like a dick for fun? |

I got it.
Thanks, I needed a laugh in this thread, and this is so true!
I was wondering if someone was going to mention Monster. Couldn't agree more. In fact I agree with all the scenes cited (from series I've seen), probably because I cry at the drop of a hat. From Monster I would also add spoiler[Johan vividly describing the original scenery for the nearly blind Schuwald.] Ulterior motives aside, that broke my heart.

I won't dispute at all that the Air scene was a definite tearjerker, and would probably make my Top 10, but I'd still take the scene from Clannad After Story that everyone's been talking about as the #1 scene from a Key title. Sara's scene from NTHT gets my wholehearted support, though. I'd be hard-pressed to think of a more wrenching scene anywhere in anime. I also think Saikano could qualify for Akemi's death. And for a much longer shot, I always got teary-eyed watching the final half of the last episode of Mahoromatic: Automatic Maiden. |

The most recent moment that choked me up: Chihayafuru when spoiler[Chihaya finds her parent's scrapbook of her karuta exploits.]

One that I haven't seen yet but would definitely be on my list is in Hikaru no Go, when spoiler[Sai passes/disappears]. Hikaru goes through spoiler[ALL the stages of grief], and the process takes multiple episodes. I don't think there is any other anime series that had me crying for so many episodes in a row. Because as Hikaru spoiler[goes through the long grieving process], you do too, right along with him. It is only sadder because spoiler[he can't really tell anyone what he is going through, since Hikaru is the only person who knew Sai even existed].
Also on my list, as someone previously mentioned, spoiler[Sakujun Sa's death] in The Story of Saiunkoku. First time I ever cried so hard for the spoiler[death of a villain]. To tell the truth. anime makes me cry a lot, so I like to watch it when I'm by myself. I'm a marshmallow.

Like, who doesn't? The internet's a great place to be a dick. You can't get punched that way!* Okay, serious opinion on the new poll, had to go with Tweeny Witches, it's an underrated gem and Arisu had just the right amount of gumption and pluck for me. *meant as internet etiquette humor |

As much as I loved AnoHana, I couldn't cry over the end of that series. The ending where spoiler[the friends are standing around and crying in an overly-dramatic manner] felt really forced, and it kind of took me out of the quiet sadness that the series was tinged with. I think maybe if that part had been more subtle, the ending of the series would have worked better for me.
Of the three Key anime I've seen, there has yet to be one that hasn't left me crying like an idiot. Paradise Kiss gets me every time when spoiler[George and Yukari's relationship just kind of fizzles out. I really like the fact that Yazawa depicted a teenage relationship that was very exciting and passionate, but in the end was not healthy and could not realistically last. Seeing Yukari break down over George's leaving, her engagement to Tokumori, and the bittersweet feelings she has when she goes to see the play that George did the costume design for. It makes me weepy.] The Nana manga also made me have a little cry when spoiler[the Nana's go to the Trapnest concert and Nana sees Ren on stage after being apart from him for so long. Nana and Hachi holding hands and Hachi's thoughts about wanting to always be there to hold her hand was such a sweet scene.] The ending of the Life manga when spoiler[Hatori has to move and she and Ayumu have a tearful farewell at the train station] was also really good. Saikano as a whole had quite a few tearjerker scenes. Princess Tutu and Mahoromatic also got to me as well. I think maybe I cry too easily over anime. I'm pretty sure I've also cried over Evangelion at a few points too.
Me too. My boyfriend teased me one night when we were watching Lucky Star and I was getting sniffly. It's so much better to watch it alone so no one can make fun when you get your cry on. Or so that no one makes any smart remarks during otherwise dramatic scenes. |

Ditto on Touch. spoiler[Kazuya's death and the immediate fallout, especially Koutarou's despair over the loss of his best friend get to me no matter how many times I read it.] Cross Game, too; the end of book/episode one and spoiler[pretty much any mention or flashback of Wakaba thereafter.] I always find the tears suddenly rolling down my face before I even realise it. And, from the H2 manga, when spoiler[Hikari's mother dies and most of the chapters after because of all the talk of it and flashbacks about her. I have no idea when I'll ever be able to reread it because I don't think I can handle that again.] Basically, it's not an Adachi series unless you find yourself in tears at least once. |
