Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.
Sorry everyone, Grave of the Fireflies exists and trumps your paltry children's movies and shows.
Even worse is when you realize the author of the original story based it on his actual life and what happened to his sister.
Amazing movie. I'll watch it again sometime.

I was already in love with the show, but that episode was when I realized how excellent AD! had become that they were able to do something so affecting.

Yeah. Though the part that gets me isn't Littlefoot's mother's death itself, but rather this follow-up conversation between Littlefoot and Rooter:

This movie wrecked me.
All great choices. These are mine.
Futurama, I always post this part because it just came out of nowhere. Game of Tones, last season. Such a sad and amazing episode.
Doing a rewatch of the anime and loving it all over again.
During her fight with Yoruichi. I always found this part so sad.
When Ichigo loses his Fullbring stolen and just finally loses it.

Well most recently
It was actually the scene after this that made me tear up, where Steven sings about how talking to someone who went through the same tragedy you did is sometimes the only way you can move on even if you're terrified of doing it
It hit super duper close to home tbh
For me it is without a doubt the death of Optimus Prime. Like many others it came as a shock and that was the first time ever I cried for something out of sadness. 25 years plus later it still brings tears to my eyes.

Now fellas, I know there are some good posts on here, but really? You're going to make no mention on the story of Mr.Freeze in Batman:The animated series?

Merciful God, this. I was blown away when I saw it, and I was in college. My son saw it when he was 4, and he gave me that "I need a hug" look. So he got it.
i was so not prepared for this when I had seen't it.
This scene is personal for me. I actually got called Dumbo lots as a kid (among other things) because I needed to grow into my ears. My mom wasn't exactly a big source of comfort when it came to being picked on and bullied later on.
I could have used a hug when I felt alone. All I got was told to ignore them.
Wife and I watched this together when it first aired. Ironically, we needed a drink afterwards.
I knew I could count on you, Deacon. I watched this with my son too, and there's a certain part in this episode that I'll put in spoilers. Seriously don't click it if you don't want to be spoiled:
When Megatron wipes the floor with Ultra Magnus and is about to kill him, and Optimus is dying, and the other Autobots have been captured
My son didn't give me a look then. He just broke out crying. I had to pause it for about 10 minutes to comfort him so that we could continue.
But man oh man did they do a fantastic job with that series.
Edit: The blu-ray of the original movie is on reserve, and I plan to watch it with my son when it releases.

Perfectly sums up Half Life fans.

Still mad that Kubo made both of them into fodder and barely remembers that they exist any more.

This is so more poignant instead of that over posted dog.
Great moment.
The end of Bart Gets an F.
yeah, this one felt real/relatable.
Yup.
Between Joy looking at the memories while sitting in the forgotten void, and Bing Bong, I tear up whenever I watch the movie with my kid.

Oh get the FUCK out of here w/ that movie. Watched it when I was like 15 and legitimately cried my eyes out for hours afterwards. To this day I've never watched it again and it is by far the saddest movie I've ever watched, animated or otherwise.
There is nothing sadder than this pick. (Sister making the 'food' out of dirt balls, oh god just kill me)

Would've been really dark if at the end we zoom into Woody's eyes and realize the last half of the movie was all in his mind and everyone goes over and burns.

This from The Simpsons, Jurassic Bark and Luck of the Fryish on Futurama.
Of course, Bender's Big Score a few years later totally fucked with the ending of Jurassic Bark.

That whole movie is just emotional destruction. We watched it in my high school Japanese language class, and almost everyone in the room was crying. I'll never watch that movie again, but I'm glad to have seen it.
Arrg, that was such a fucked up scene. Especially when Scar comes and
kills her out of compassion
For those who don't get the reference, it's from the manga/anime Full Metal Alchemist.
didn't hit me until his daughter started asking why he had to go away. And my dumbass was at work watching that scene during my lunch break.Colonel Hughes death
Another FMA scene, and yeah this one actually hurt the most. Especially the way he died, with
Envy taking the appearance of his wife so he couldn't fight back
The opening of Up was surprisingly mature and touching.
Talk about the ultimate bittersweet opening scene. Showcasing their beautiful life together and then the wife's decline... ugh man that was too damn real.

Is this current season? I need to catch up.

Yeah Luck of the Fryish ends me. Futurama is such a hilarious show and then it occasionally lets in the sobering reality of how awful it would be to be displaced 1000 years in time and ends you emotionally.

Best Batman. Even worse/better when you think about what Bruce named his dog.
The episode, Growing Pains from TNBA. This one always stuck out to me.

It was really sad to see Annie forcefully reunite with Clayface, especially after she bonded so much with Robin. Poor Tim.

I felt the exact same way- great show before, but that episode really blew me away. A few of their musical numbers have had great feelings and emotions attached to them, it's one thing about the series I really love.
Yeah this is a good one too. I liked how the Teen Titans voiced the Royal Flush Gang
