As feminine as crying may seem, I do admit some anime has been so damn good that it's somehow nearly brought me to tears. Whether it's from the stress on my eyes from watching for hours or just a damn good story. My write up on Gurren Lagann, on my blog, has made me think, does any one else cry for these things? Whether it's due to happiness or sadness? Do you cry? Come on, man up take my hand and admit it. And just so you guys know, the ladies like a guy with a sensitive side.

That's like saying real men wear pink. -,-

And what's wrong with pink? if a GAR character liked to wear pink I'd be damn fine with it.
(ID #321638) Posted on 2008/10/03 12:28
No, no, you're missing my point. I never said anything was wrong with pink -- unless you assumed it yourself. ...And I have no idea what 'GAR' is. -,-
(ID #321653) Posted on 2008/10/03 12:42
Erm... so, what's your point? O_O I guess everyone has their own conceptions. I personally like a real man who has balls enough to cry, wear pink... and still be sure of his masculinity (or sexuality, whatever might feel threatened). Here's the 4chan definition of GAR: A term used towards male characters and individuals who are so overwhelmingly manly that your own masculinity is absolutely *buried*, leaving you naught but a whimpering, swooning girl-child before them.

I was gonna ask that too actually. I know I heard you mention GAR before but forgot to ask. XD Now I know.
(ID #321720) Posted on 2008/10/03 13:27
Her point was that even though real men do wear pink, it also creates the idea that you -must- wear pink to be a real man, and it simply isn't true. It's like saying all women are human therefore all humans are women.

Eyes tear up... yes of course its happened. Now I've never bawled because of an emotional scene... The most would be a tear or 2. Stuff like AIR, Kanon, CLANNAD are great tear jerkers. I do agree that Gurren Lagann is one too, it was kinda unexpected too.

I never thought of crying as feminine. In fact, some of the most emotional moments in anime are of men crying over a fallen comrade or a dead love one. I just love it when men have so strong emotions over someone they can't help crying. So guys, cry when it's due, you won't be less manly (in fact it'll be the other way round).

When watching Elfen Lied, Fate/Stay Night, and I think Gundam Wing Endless Waltz ending I almost teared up. The ending and the music just puts me in that mood and starts messing with my feelings. My favourite character(s) disappear and theres no more episodes to watch, no continuation. I feel as if I lost something. Oh and also Clannad, Kanon, and Air also made me reach that line. No tears come out but I am at the point of crying that if someone saw me might think of something weird.

Episode 19 of Naruto, I teared up when Zabuza finally showed some emotions for Haku. No joke. The series went completely downhill for me after that.

On some animes I ended up laughing to the point of having tears in my eyes. But my eyes usually water up on strong emotional scenes, I don't exactly cry but I feel the emotions build up in me. Seriosly what's the point of watching an anime, a serie or movie if one can't connect to anything in it and doesn't feel some sort of emotion while watching it... For me its just wasting time watching something that doesn't really get to me.
(ID #321647) Posted on 2008/10/03 12:36
Blood Plus at the end Episode 49....I was moved to tears.(Especially when you feel so connected to the characters to a point when you can predict their actions in the series) its like all of the things that built the story up until the end were like a puzzle, and when the puzzle was complete you see the whole picture of EVERYTHING. That moment was like a Big explosion of emotion that caught me by surprise....It was also sad to see the series finally come to an end after watching it for 50 weeks. (1 new episode every Saturday)..I would pay money just so they could continue Blood Plus.

And i just replyed to someone regarding this today: "I used not to cry ever when watching movie or a series but at some point it changed and damn Clannad was such a tear jerker for me, too." But also at Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, Shuffle, Clannad, Negima and some more. I dont know when or why this changed but i dont really care. In fact i even started to enjoy sad series because of this (sound a bit masochistic... nvm^^)

For anime, well I've gotten misty once or twice. But flat out crying? No. The last time I cried is when my Grandfather died back in March. Before that, I simply can't remember. I didn't even cry when my Grandmother passed even though I do love her very much. It was just that my Grandpa and I were extremely close.

Didn't cried to any anime yet as of lately. For me it really depends on a situation, kinda hard to explain, but yeah I really want to find an anime that will make me cry.^^ TTGL didn't make my tears to fall in my cheeks, instead all my hair follicles stood up at every moment of the anime, maybe I watered my eyes a little bit because of the excitement and hotbloodedness TTGL gave me. xD

My heart will probably do the crying if its a touching anime, like the gurren lagann u wrote about. I dont usually cry physically but I think crying/tearing of the heart is the same thing as physically crying/tearing
(ID #321798) Posted on 2008/10/03 15:12
My heart will cry but my eyes wont drop. If too touching sure will drop. Don't tell me a guy can't cry?!! There is a research state that Female life longer than Male because they can cry and tell everything to the guys and guys just keep in their heart and share alone...that makes all pressure so MALE DIE FAST because don't want to cry. SO MALES cry or you will die.(I mean if got pressure or problem..not cry without meaning)
(ID #321811) Posted on 2008/10/03 15:29
It takes a lot for me to cry, much less anime. Though I do feel a little build of emotions inside during sad or really intense moments. And I catch myself holding my breath. *Thinks of last two episodes of Chobits*.

Whenever there is sentimental or emo scene, I don't hold it but cry out loud just for the sake of releasing my daily stress, it really does help rather well than taking antidepressant drugs. I remember crying in almost every episode of Black Jack. It's no big deal for mens to cry, it a mental relief afterall & thanks to anime my mental state is much better than ever ;-)

Some anime makes me sad but not enough to drive me to tears. Last time I remembered being watery eyed was when I'm watching a korean movie titled "Maundy Thursday". I only cry when the characters were portrayed by real humans. Don't know why I don't cry when its animated. But well, the closest feeling to crying was the seahorse episode of fruits basket.

Crying isn't feminine at all! It's a natural human response, one that most of us don't indulge in often enough. It's an outlet for emotion, a real honest expression that's untainted by anything at all, that allows us to alleviate stress and anger etc. It's definitely preferable to expression through violence and other negative behaviour.

Eyes got misty and/or tears falling along my cheek? Yes (more than I care to remember). Flat-out crying? No. Crying IS a biological response to strong emotional stimuli (among others), those that think of crying as an act of weakness are just making it harder on themselves.
