The good ones are already mentioned, especially Grave of the Fireflies destroys your soul.

a recent one:

Hinata's "Death": http://youtu.be/FQY6VzW_X2c

 

[overcast]

Multiple times.
Futurama has done it to me with Luck of the Fryish and Jurassic Bark.
Up, Lion King.
Simpsons nearly got me with Maggies First Word. TAS has a few. The Iron Giant. Cowboy Bebop.

I'm not tough.

 

[Ezalc]

I've never straight up cried but there were many times where it got close. Namely:

Tales of Ba Sing Se (The Tale of Iroh) from Avatar's second season will likely get everyone a bit teared up.

Falling so slow
Like fragile, tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
Little soldier boy
Come marching home
Brave soldier boy
Comes marching home.

And Grave of the Fireflies.

 

[crazy monkey]

Grave of the fireflies. Classic. Also some episodes of simpsons got me teard

 

[zoukka]

I cannot deny the tears.

 

[Mrcapcom]

Totally serious here.

Srsly

 

[BluWacky]

The Snowman. It plays on British TV every Christmas, and I can't even make it past the opening sequence because it brings back horrible childhood trauma of how sad it is. One whole minute is all I can watch.

SPOILER -

Spoiler

The snowman melts

Also, very embarrassingly, I wept buckets at the bit in Little Mermaid where Triton destroys Ariel's grotto. I was, in my defence, about 6 at the time, but I just thought it was so mean.

 

[JudgeN]

When Mae Hughes died in FMA/Brotherhood.

When Shou tucker fused his daughter Nina and her dog into a Chimera.

 

[Sarquiss_]

Man this thread brings back lots of memories.

I haven't seen Gungrave mentioned yet but it really hit home

 

[Mistake]

Grave of the Fireflies was very good, but it didn't get me. Clannad with Clannad: After Story left me bawling though. It just built up the whole time, then a certain part hit in After Story and I lost it

 

[3JORN]

There was this anime we watched when we were kids (Dog of Flanders - I think), that was pretty sad.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Did we just have a thread like this? But whatever.

 

[Mazer Rackham]

Totally serious here.

my childhood ended after watching this scene

 

[Bill_Duke]

What is this^

That's Silver Fang, original name is Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin.
Was my favourite when I was a kid.

 

[Aku-Audi]

So thanks to GAF, I decided to watch Jurassic Bark AND Grave of the Fireflies, knowing little what to expect.

Jurassic Bark got me pretty close, but I picked up my cat and felt good even though he had a look that said "OH HELL NAH, U GOTZ TO BE PLAYIN ME" cause he hates being picked up.

Grave of the Fireflies though, I lost my little sister to cancer 3 years ago. Last 10 minutes destroyed me completely. Gonna feel empty for a while now.

 

[beast786]

Yep that is the one.

 

[HammerOfThor]

Man this thread brings back lots of memories.

I haven't seen Gungrave mentioned yet but it really hit home

COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT GUNGRAVE!!!!!


Man, I loved that series! I think I'm gonna rewatch it, since I have the original Geneon disks.

Fake edit: Its on bluray???? YESSSS!!!!

 

[MNC]

I fucking try to look for a Grave of the Fireflies image but the music comes back and I start having trouble already, jesus christ.

I can't even watch the beginning of the movie. I want everyone to watch the movie, but I can't watch it a second time myself.

 

[DerZuhälter]

Just recently an episode of Thundercats, Episode 4 The Song of the Petalars.

Caught me completly offguard.

 

[rkn]

No, but this was the absolute closest:

Yep, felt like a little girl at the reveal.

 

[Brera]

Must be UP!

I was thinking what kind of a sick bastard would make people watch an opening like that! Really wasn't what I expected...

 

[seipherzero]

G Gundam

Video

That BGM. That sunrise. Those heartfelt last words. It still gets me ;x.

Domon's confession of love to Rain gets me too.

 

[Trojita]

When Ash has to say goodbye to Butterfree ;_;

 

[Zyzyxxz]

When Ash has to say goodbye to Butterfree ;_;

Free! Free-Free!

 

[Parallax]

When Mae Hughes died in FMA/Brotherhood.

When Shou tucker fused his daughter Nina and her dog into a Chimera.

Man this thread brings back lots of memories.

I haven't seen Gungrave mentioned yet but it really hit home

its a slow car crash. you know whats going to happen, but seeing it play out like it did....

 

[TheExodu5]

I just watched The Lion King tonight.

 

[Fatalah]

No, but this was the absolute closest:

This is also up there:

Yep, thanks Matt Groening.

 

[Sinthetic]

Cried with happiness during loads of Ghibli films. Definitely remember damn near crying while watching Iron Giant.

If we are talking Animation, Up from Pixar made me very teary, what a beautiful film.

Totally forgot The Polar Express, that was stunning!

 

[mingus]

At the end of original Full Metal Alchemist, watching it with my little brother when

Spoiler

Ed sacrifices himself so that Al could live.

I was just like...I LOVE YOU MAN *bro hug*

 

[hertog]

Fuck Jurassic bark.

I had one of the worst nights of my life, tried to cheer me up by going out with friends and drink alcohol, came home and thought "well, if one thing always cheers me up, it's futurama"



........

 

[Pimpbaa]

Probably a few from my childhood that I can't remember. But during my adult years, definitely the Jurassic Bark. I refuse to watch it again.

 

[Sinthetic]

I just watched The Rescuers and I teared up when Penny was doing her little prayer near her bed. So sad!

 

[Xeke]

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Someone mentioned Rugrats in Paris, but I remember the saddest Rugrats moment being the Mother's Day episode where they addressed Chuckie's lack of a mother.

Starts at 8:54.

G Gundam

you missed out the part before the fight with Master Asia, where he destroys the Devil Gundam

Spoiler

with Kyoji in it

.

manly tears were shed, those 2 episodes were THE defining moment of G Gundam.

 

[RC]

The Snowman. It plays on British TV every Christmas, and I can't even make it past the opening sequence because it brings back horrible childhood trauma of how sad it is. One whole minute is all I can watch.

Hearing that music is enough to make me well up a little. Reminds me of every snowman I've every made.

 

[siddx]

No, although the beginning of Up came the closest.
Grave of the fireflies had it's moments but by the end I was just happy

Spoiler

they were finally fucking dying after sitting through the slowest movie I've seen in years

 

[Pein]

When Mae Hughes died in FMA/Brotherhood.

When Shou tucker fused his daughter Nina and her dog into a Chimera.

this and a bunch of naruto scenes, Haku and Gaara come to mind

 

[Hellsing321]

This scene from Cowboy Bebop gets me everytime and its only gotten worse as I've gotten older.

 

[Celine]

to add to my selection:
Ashita no Joe last episode

and Rose of Versailles last episode

 

[DonCuco]

Robotech Macross - Death of Roy Fokker.

 

[p_xavier]

I could never watched the end of the series; it's the only that makes me sob to no end:

Rémi

The first episode, the kid learns that he's been adopted by a drunk. The drunk sells him to a street artist, and it only goes down from there. It's an anime from late 70s.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobody's_Boy:_Remi

[Rikkun]

IDK if it was already posted... but Welcome to the NHK.

Added to The Lion King, The Fox and the Hound, Toy Story etc. etc. etc.

 

[Amibguous Cad]

For me it's both Jurrasic Bark and Luck of The Fryish from Futurama, and Mother Simpsons & And Maggie Makes Three from The Simpsons.

Those guys know how to do it, or did, at least.

EDIT: Also will throw my vote in for Iron Giant.
SU PER MAN.

SPOILAARRRSS
EDIT 2: Toy Story 3, both the "furnace" scene and the very ending (Andy giving his toys to the girl), huge tear jerkers. Especially when i went to see the movie with my mum about 3 weeks before my A Level results were released (i.e. right before i found out for certain i'd be moving away to University).

Man, fuck that shit.

Toy Story 3 came out a week after my dad died. I needed some popcorn entertainment to take my mind off things, not an extended meditation on mortality and death. Came out of left field, and it didn't help that I was too young to really appreciate those kind of themes in TS1 and 2 when I saw them.

 

[Shakala]

Robotech Macross - Death of Roy Fokker.

I remember this as a kid :'(

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

Leaves from the vine
Falling so slow
Like fragile, tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
Little soldier boy
Come marching home
Brave soldier boy
Comes marching home




Oh and when Pink Panther pushed over a dog. 3 year old me couldn't handle that shit.

 

[AbsoluteZero]

When Shou tucker fused his daughter Nina and her dog into a Chimera.

I wait...what? Someone got fused with a dog? That doesn't sound pleasant.

 

[Negator]

[Ostinatto]

Grave Of The Fireflies. Lost it. Felt purifying.

Most recently, Arriety was all kinds of moving. No tears though.

grave of the fireflies, OMG, what a sad and beautiful movie

 

[AniHawk]

Arnold's Christmas did it for me.

wow, first post. it was a really good christmas special, but the ending was fantastic. this episode and the valentine's day one were great for helga's character.

(from when i was a kid)
land before time: when littlefoot's mom dies
bambi: when bambi's mom dies

futurama:
ending to 'luck of the fryish'
ending to 'jurassic bark'
ending to 'leela's homeworld'

simpsons:
ending to 'mother simpson'
