Just finished chrno crusade- spoiler[In the final episode, Rosette begins to cry that she isn't ready to die yet. Chrno comforts her. Then they die.] I was in the process of shedding tears, but it wasn't until spoiler[Az and the rest of the girls come and find their dead bodies that a little trickle of sadness streams down my face. Az goes into the cabin and we get this sort of etheral flashback thing going on; very sad ending. Then more tears join the fray, heh.]
I heard the manga's ending was different, so the day after I watched the anime, I drove down to borders to get the last manga volume. Quite suprising that much of it is dramatically different, and made for an enjoyable read. I liked this ending much more, though this one still made me teary eyed.

I'm not usually one to cry while watching something and it makes me feel heartless sometimes, but the first and only time I truly remember crying was when I was watching Fruits Basket. That was during the episode when we discover spoiler[how Sohma Momiji was rejected by his mother and they had to erase her memory about his existence].

I've never really cried watching anime. I just get really depressed.
Chrno Crusade has got me the most depressed so far. spoiler[I didn't really find the dying scene of Rosette and Chrno sad, but what made me really depressed was that some of the last words that Rosette said were "I'm scared! I don't want to die! I wanna live on!" Those being her last words (apart from "thank you Chrno") was just plain sad.] Negima spoiler[when Asuna dies with that lifeless look in her eyes], Love Hina spoiler[When Moe stopped moving] and Gunslinger Girl spoiler[When Angelica remembers the past (and then dies?)] No one has mentioned Tsubasa Chronicles yet so I'll mention that. spoiler[Two things about Tsubasa. One, don't you just feel for Syaron? Your best friend in the world can't remember who you are. Two, the people who came back to life in the last episode of season 1 died again in season 2. The scene between the loving couple (can't remember their name) was just so sad] |

I would say I had quite a few moment of depression watching Elfen lied, I felt like crying when spoiler[ Toda sister was killed by lucy and I really didn't like the scene where she killed that family.]
Grave of the Fireflies is another anime that had quite an impact on my feelings as well, specially the hardship through which the boy and his baby sister endured. [EDIT: Please remember to use spoiler tags. -TK] |

Taysiir, you need to learn to use spoiler tags and go back and put some in on your post. What you just stated about Elfen Lied was a MAJOR spoiler. [Edit: He went back and did this.]
Since Fruits Basket has been brought up, there's at least three or four places in that series that can get to me if I'm watching it in the right mood. The scene which most consistently affects me is in episode 4 or 5 (don't remember which), the one where spoiler[Tohru describes her experiences with the "fruits basket" game and then at the end of the episode we finally hear the "rice ball" being called.] Might seem like a strange choice, but the symbolic implications of the scene, given the context, really bring home what the whole series is about for me.

I've cried quite a few times, but three moments are hard to erase:
1. Like a lot of posts before me, Ep. 19 of Rahxephon devastated me, 2. At the end of SE Lain, spoiler[because the belief that removing yourself from the existences of those you care about will make them happier is just...too depressing,] 3. And in one of the final episodes of Texhnolyze, which was wrenching in general, spoiler[as Onishi's assistant weakly begs the rapists, and then Onishi, to kill her. Just looking at her is hard at that moment, when she looks so much like a broken doll.] |

That was the scene that got me, too. And, like another poster said, spoiler[the story of Momiji and his mother]. - abunai |

I've cried in almost every anime or manga that I've read! Well, not quite, but first off in Bleach spoiler[ when Rukia leaves Ichigo and is taken back to Soul Society with Renji and Byakuya, where she turns around and has tears in her eyes and she's says 'try coming after me...and i will never forgive you!!!" just the fact that she has to do that to save his life and how she's sacrificing herself...stuff like that makes me cry.]
Also, (again in Bleach) in episode 62 i think spoiler[ when Aizen is holding Rukia and tells Gin to kill her, and Byakuya jumps in the way. It made me cry because it shows that he really does care about her...] in a way that one is almost crying because I'm happy. Yeah, it is. I'll stray from Bleach to other anime I know it's been said but spoiler[when haku, then zabuza, die] in naruto of course, Grave of the Fireflies, it's been mentioned but yeah...basically that whole movie spoiler[mostly when his sister dies] I'm sure theres more, but it's mostly in manga. In Rurouni Kenshin, I think it's in the OVAs too spoiler[first, when Kenshin kills Tomoe, and then when Enishi 'kills' Kaoru] |

My guess is that when Tsumihoroboshi-hen airs in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, many people might suddenly be moved to near tears over episodes they watched 4-5 months ago (that is, Onikakushi-hen). I'm prepared; better get the hankerchief ready in a month or so...

Voices of a Distant Star, haven't read this thread at all, but I'll bet it's been posted at least 10 times. I just saw this a few days ago, and I've never cried this hard in my life. It was the only time watching an anime besides Air that I got that gut-wrenching nose-running bawling that left me zoned out for the rest of the night.
I went back and watched a two minute trailer for it... I must have been crying for the next 10-15 minutes. I've never seen anything that left me as depressed for the future as Voices did. |

The ending to Paradise Kiss was pretty sad. However the manga ending was a lot better(sadder too)
So far I am up to ep.14 w/ Nana.....some sad situations are happening. Onegai Teacher- spoiler[ The 2nd to last episode when Kei pulls the Pocky from his pocket and starts to cry and doesn't know why. ] Gantz- spoiler[ When Kurono is the only survivor in the 3rd game(I think it is) and is the only one to return to the room.] E O Evangelion- spoiler[Asuka's death at the hands of the Eva Series] more to come. I have a thing for depressing anime. |
