Emotional Anime

I just got done with Kimi Kiss, first anime that's moved me to tears.

The last episode of Chrno Crusade made my eyes water and there's another but it's a game though :p

The best stories should give you a strong emotional reaction. I felt it at the end of Gungrave and Eureka Seven, just to name a couple that I remember off the top of my head.

Last few episodes of Air got me emotional.

Grave of the Fireflies. now thats a moving anime.

errr I cried in a lot of animes ^^;;; cried while reading manga sometimes =_=;
the last anime I cried at was probably Code Geass ^^;

I haven't cried(but I have a heart of stone; so I'm told) but those close to making me cry have been Gungrave, Now and Then Here and There.
Oh, and Fullmoon wo Sagashite for some reason. Takuto ;_;

Hotaru no Haka (good movie, but depressing), Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa (after the ohmu attack; the music stirs the heart), Bleach: Memories of Nobody (I liked Senna), the first Pokemon movie (I got teary with the Pokemon and all the little kids around me crying), Snoopy Come Home (I was five. I thought Snoopy wasn't coming back), and a few others I can't remember...

I don't get emotional, often, so when I do feel emotion, it tends to be pretty strong... ^_^;

Gunbuster.

The death of Master Asia in G Gundam.....that was just painful to watch, I almost felt like fastforwarding. Sigh, Tomokazu Seki's voice acting can make anything better.
For me it'd either be that or the final episode of Elfen Lied. So nice that they killed everyone in such a sad way >.>

Kumo no Mukou is the best movie made by Shinkai, IMHO.

I cried a lot watching KEY/Visual Arts animes =x

I think i cried at the end of Evangelion. And almost got a tear at the end of P3. and maybe at the end of Tenchi Universe?

The one anime that made me feel emotional is Suzuka.

Only two scenes ever to make me close to tears is when Chidori was crying for Souske in FMP! TSR and the Kotomi Arc in Clannad.

FINAL FANTASY 7 CRISIS CORE

AIR was the first anime that made me shed a few tears. The creator Visual Art's/Key also produced CLANNAD and Kanon. All three of these series are made me teary.
These are the series which I will name first when it comes to this topic.

Grave of the Fireflies
Voices of a Distant Star
5 Centimeters Per Second
Saikano

haven came across any anime show that can make me cry. still i can differentiate anime that's emotional. For me it would be hanbun no tsuki .

Gurren-Lagann makes me weep manly tears.

I've never cried from a video game.

The ending of Azumanga Daiho on the other hand... *sniff* it was just... excuse me for one moment.

Let's see, Aria the Origination has been the worst at making me tear at the end. Air and Clannad have succeeded in doing so as well. That's all I can think of for now.

I cried quite a lot...The ending of Onegai Sensei, ending of Fate/Stay Night, the ending of Fate route of Fate/Stay Night, and I was on the verge of tears until I realized that I got the happy ending for Unlimited Blade Works just moments ago.

Kanon in particular Makoto's arc made my eyes water. Byousoku however fills me with rage, Takaki is exactly the sort of guy I love to hate ^^;;

I cry a lot:
Code Geass - OMG poor Rolo, Shirley, Euphie (;_;) I liked Rolo in the end..
Pokemon the 1st movie - When all the Pokemans were crying..
Doraemon - Too many sad episodes to list xC
Gundam 00 - Waaaa! (ﾉДT)Lockon..Stina..
Lucky Star - Poor, poor Miyuki
I think i've cried during over 50 anime and manga. It's so not like me to say this (;_;)

To me, "emotional" means me getting really interested, engrossed, etc. That is, when I care about the characters. I'm not necessarily crying or on the verge of crying, or shouting out in joy, but I find myself "bonding" with the characters in *really really good* anime. I find that often anime plots/characters aren't the type I can bond with - even if they're enjoyable anime.

Gundam 00, for example, I found myself being worried for what was about to happen to a character, or smiling when they succeeded at something, or leaning forward in "intense" scenes, or being upset with how something turned out. Very few anime have gripped me like that. Beck was one of them... umm... Yakitate Japan for a bit... Kure-nai... GURREN LAGANN.

Many anime have inspired me... with many of the Ghibli movies, whenever I watch them I get this really strong drive for a few days to learn Japanese, thinking I want to move to Japan, etc etc. I really enjoy the magic of those stories. I really do.

There's one that almost moved me to tears, but I can't remember. hahaha

I cry to a few in the past, but Voice from the distance star & Byousoku 5CM does make me cry ^^ I watched them 5 times.

Anime that almost moved me to tears i would say Elfen Lied...nice anime!

Hmm, I'd have to add the Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen OVAs to the list of tearjerkers. Definitely played to the strengths of Kenshin's tragic character that was really only hinted at in the TV series. Oh, and another good one has to be Full Moon wo Sagashite, which was definitely a downer each time an episode ended given that you knew that was going to happen by the series' end...

Almost cried at the end of Fate Stay Night

I think I cried every other episodes of Fruits Basket. Some of the time it was tears from laughter XD

Boys Be was the first to make me cry. The second anime being KimiKiss. heheh! Grave of the fireflies came close but not close enough. So far those two are the only ones that moved me to tears.

For games...FFVIII would be the only one which is also probably why I loved the game so much. No other game moved me as much as ffviii did. heheh!

Grave of the Fireflies is so sad, I'd be stunned if anyone made it through without at least holding back the tears.

I always feel a little choked up at the end of Millennium Actress (Sennen joyu), and I can't recommend it enough. It must be one of least known animated films that actually got a proper DVD release in the US.

Anything that has Key and Kyoto Animation in the credits, more specifically Kanon made me cry like a baby.

I know got teary at the end of Persona 3, both The Journey and The Answer.
But thinking about it, I'm not sure I can even remember the last time I've actually cried. I wonder if that's a bad thing.

"School Days"..

Really want to kill someone like that @_@

Poor Kotonoha.. T_T

Kimi ga nozomu eien and ef.

yeah, Grave of the Fireflies made me cry a lot. Air, Clannad, and Zero no Tsukaima's 2nd season did it too. I cried different tears for Azumanga Daioh.

Usually my favorite anime are the ones that have brought me close to tears. There's Byousoku 5cm, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Tekkonkinkreet, Dennou Coil and Gundam 00, for example. I just get so attached to the characters that whatever tragedy (or bliss) befalls them affect me deeply as well. And just thinking about the way those anime ended is making me a bit teary, haha ^^

Onegai Teacher was the first one, it was strange to get a tear from that. The other one was Eureka 7, i was really attached to the story.

Ninja Scroll/Jubei Ninpucho. And many a hard video game like Ghosts n' Goblins brought tears of anguish.

hmmm... kanon (game version... gads and in practically everyone's scenario ^^;), ef (anime), nanoha strikers (i dunno why but i lost it when vivio tried to stand by herself), shigofumi (anime ep 9 ^^;), sola, mizuiro (well, for the 1 scenario i've played ^^;)... probably a lot more... i get choked up pretty easily ^^;;;

AIR got me eyes watery, Kanon, maybe Mai's arc, can't stand Makoto or Ayu. I cried boyish tears when Roy Focker didn't get to eat Claudia's pineapple salad in SDF Macross.

Vidja gaems? hmmm..... seeing as to how I'm a Blizzard fanboi I get a little choked up every time I replay Starcraft's campaign and see Tassadar sacrifice himself. Also the act 3 movie in Diablo 2 made me cry but for different reasons. "the skies will rain fire and the seas will be as blood". shivers down me spine...

I remember crying at the end of el-hazard when I was a wee lad,
but the cartoon that really drove me to tears was "the last unicorn", but I guess that doesn't really count as anime right?
but the first anime to move me to tears would probably be Toei's rendition of the little mermaid. the anime was more faithful to the original tragic story as compared to the disney version.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_dicdWC9DE&feature=related

the end of samurai champloo

The scene with Fuko and her sister in Clannad brought me to tears. I also got close during Clannad: Tomoyo Edition. So far Clannad's been the only anime to move me to tears.

As far as games go I didn't cry but I got sad at the end of Persona 3 and Final Fantasy X. Oh and Aeris' death in VII also made me sad.

Hmm, I've become a bit more tolerable with crying... so, I don't mind the tears these days.
NGE - Ayanami T_T
Comic Party - Taishi's one speech just moved me to tears ^^;
Fate Stay Night - T_T Sad
Elfen Lied - Sad..
Byousaku 5cm - sweet but, sad

There's more than that but, those are just a few ^^;

Hmm... I've never been driven to tears by any anime or game, but I've come pretty close.
Gurren Lagann made me get pretty emotional, and so did the end of Halo 3.

Millenium Actress cause an emotional reaction, some how.

wow ghost n goblins for commodore 64, that was a very very hard game, and that song from the first stage, I bet you still remember it, it penetrates your brains forever, and if you want to cry then read/watch Planetarian, if you dont cry in that game then you dont have soul

yea i too also cried after watching voices of a distant star. Almost all of makoto shinkai's work have a tragic/heartbreaking ending (which I hate but love at the same time). Other than that...hmmm, I would have to say final fantasy 7 made me cry, when aeris died T.T omg...lol

Also..grave of the fireflies, yeah we all know..and gunslinger girl the anime season 1.

lol gotta love makoto shinkai~

love byousoku and i think clannad kotomi arc made me cry too

I think i tend to get mopey are these:
Sailor Moon first arc.
Kanon
Air
NGE The End of Evangeleon
Clannad
A episode of Kodomo no Jikan
Elfen Lied, I kinda feel the same
Fate/Stay Night
Tsukihime, game and anime
Inuyasha, Many points.
Code Geass
probably some others.
Sad, really sad on those.

everything... just everything to name a couple recently,
Welcome to the NHK - the whole series whenever it got serious
5 Cm Per Second - u can figure out y
Clannad - for some reason everyone yelling in the auditorium just got to me
except i think i get emotional pretty easily soo... yea

Okay, this is gonna cut my dignity down a few gigabytes but I teared up a bit watching Naruto... yes I did. Episode 19 during Zabuza/Haku's last moments.

Other emotional animes for me include AIR, Zero no Tsukaima II episode 9, and also when I found out that the Shuffle anime wasn't going to end with Rin x Kaede. I also shed tears of joy during the last scene in Cardcaptor Sakura second movie. That will always hold the top place for best anime scene ever.

I also cried at the end of Soul Link because I realized that I wasted a few good hours of my life watching that shit.

Saikano, other than Grave of the Fireflies, is probably the sadest/most depressing anime out there. The fact that the original sub group who did it put a warning at the end of episode 10 saying something along the lines of - "This is the end of happiness in Saikano. If you want it to have a happy ending, stop watching now, otherwise you will just endure pain and suffering." And really, the stuff upto ep 10 hadnt exactly been full of joy, but I carried on and they were soooo right. Poor Chise..

Anyways, some others that were pretty upsetting would be (obviously) Grave of the Fireflies, Kanon (both series - poor Makoto), Clannad, Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien, and the end of Mahoromatic.

When Satoshi(Ash) had to release Butterfree.

It's very difficult for me to get worked up enough to cry. But a few of the ones that got me close were kanon (I would add Air but it left me more confused), grave of the fireflies left me depressed, DBZ: Freaza Saga when Vegeta died, Code Geass, Chobits, Eureka 7, Sola.

video game wise:
FF7 - Aeris
Legend of Dragoon - I forgot his name, but the first Green Dragoon guy, that was sad!
i'm sure there's more, but i just can't think of it now...

anime wise:
Grave of the Fireflies
Ninja Scroll
Gurren Lagan (i got emotionally attached)
GTO (another one i got emotionally attached to)
X
Fushigi Yuugi brings a few tears every now and then, Chichiri's past... etc...
Samurai X (holy crap, the only one i've ever cried as much on before was Grave of the fireflies)
again, i'm sure there's more....

MANGA wise:
x/1999.... i'm also sad that they never finished it! >:(
and uh... i think that's the only one i got emotionally attached to... maybe...?

AIR, Kanon 2006, Elfen Lied, Kodocha (the manga), Touch (anime and manga), Fruits Basket (anime and manga)...I think that's it.

Oh, and Planetarian the game. It was awful. I saw the game at an anime convention, and I cried without tissue for like 1/2 an hour. I'm glad I wasn't alone though. The guys were crying as well.

honey & clover makes me baaaaaaaaaaawl

i also bawled when [spoilers] died in escaflowne. in public, at an anime club. o_o

millennium actress and full moon wo sagashite

Hm...FMA for me during Hughes' funeral when the daughter was asking why they were burying her dad...ah...

I may be old but I cry easily. Many, many animes have made me cry. I had to stop watching Clannad becuase it was too painful, But the best ending to any anime I have seen is Planetes. Stupid thing is I'm welling up even typing this.

There were few anime I watched and after got a gloomy mood for a few days. These are: NGE, Air, 5cm, NHK ni youkoso.
Air ending (and surprisingly not the opening) is the one song I hear on net radio, I stop doing anything and just listen as the memories emerge for that few minutes. ;_;
As for games, it's Planetarian.

Kana ~Little Sister~

The first ever H-Game that made me weep so goddamn hard. And for most people too, I believe.

the endings of some anime series are a real downer like 5 Centimeters Per Second, so sad to see them go their separate ways...
The end of evangelion was also emotional and Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien.
and Gurren Lagann comes to mind.. i think everyone knows wat part i'm talking about... i don't want to spoil it

Not seen that many emotional ones, mainly because all romancy/heartbreak stuff gets me envious and a bit frustrated before it really moves me, and because my bro is a typical shounen-anime watcher.
But if Voices already moved you, then Early days will *definetely* have you crying. But yeah, Shinkai is pretty much an anime-god ^^

Byousoku 5 Centimeter

Kanon (2006), Tsukihime and ef - a tale of memories did make me emotionally unstable. Fate/stay Night's fate arc was really gloomy.

The only thing that did make me cry was True Remembrance, an excellent free Visual Novel.
http://trueremembrance.insani.org/

theres too many for me to list XD

Yeah, KGNE was the first and last anime that made me cry. But even though no real tears dropped, I was definitely feeling very emotional after seeing 5 centimeters per second, Beyond the Clouds and pretty much every episode from ef (after 07). I actually think it's a shame I followed ef every week because I'm sure I would've cried had I marathond it because it just hits me harder then. D=

I like emotional anime.

I'm same with Likewise above. KGNE made some (manly) tears roll down... I can't quite think of any other anime that has actually made me cry. I can get very emotional and about to cry, but not quite past that point like with KGNE. Byousoku 5cm was definitely one of those that took me right to the brink but left me tear free. SaiKano I think ep 8 when that friend of his kinda bit the dust... that was pretty emotional too. The end of Gungrave choked me up too. Can't remember how I reacted to these next two but they were pretty emotional too: Samurai7 and Ima Soko ni Iru Boku.

As for games....don't think I ever cried during any game, but only one game brought me close...and it's a hentai game of all thins lol. Kana Imouto...

Clannad made me cry like I've never cried at any anime.(At the Fuuko arc mostly) Totoro made me cry, actually most Ghibli movies make me well up simple for being so awesome. I cried at the first Pokemon movie, the Bye Bye Butterfry episode, and Goodbye Pikachu. Also Kanon made me cry a bit, but not Air. I didnt used to be a very blubby person... but reading manga softened my heart... but equally its been hardened to all the boobs and pantsu....

End of Evangelion. Tried watching it for the 12th time, and still couldnt stop myself. Stupid emotional involvement.
Games? The closest wold probably be FFX, didnt cry but i did feel pretty gutted (126 hours of game time just to watch him die!)

the Tomoyo chapter for Clannad (anime)

The first anime that made me cry was probably Mahoromatic, others I remember are Air, the Makoto arc of Kanon '06 and Nanatsuiro Drops. There's probably more since I tend to get attached to characters easily. As for games, definitely Narcissu (or Narcissus?)and Planetarian. I remember crying for a good half an hour for both games.

Kanon was the first anime to make me realize that anime were on a totally different level from western shows because it was the first show that made me cry like a little girl.

I want to say Negima, Comic Party (Dont ask), and Pretty Face (Ending before the bonus chapter), and really there are a lot of anime that does that to me (Some I mentioned were manga, but oh well)

I haven't really watch that many animes but Gurren Langan from start to end was emotional for me especially Kamina's death. One of the most stirring anime I had ever watched.

Kanon was the one that made me shed tears especially during Makoto's last moments.

My anime choice is probably the same listed above, but as for videogames, Fatal Frame 2 and MGS3 pretty much does it.

I find the lack of mention of that cyborg(forgot his name, lulz) in Gundam 00 disturbing... -_- I mean, that was just sudden.

i cried when kamina dies. (´Д｀)

Well, everyone's pretty much covered all the emotional moments in the anime I've watched. I just wanted to add, for those manga readers out there, the ending to Ichigo 100% (manga). I was very depressed after that ended >.<.

I agree, Gurren Lagann when the Fearless Leader was killed...

i let out manly tears for gurren lagann and yu yu hakusho on a couple of occasions ;3

There are few of anime and games that made me go emotional.
H20 anime made me go emotional during the last episode...
There are a few more, but don't feel like listing them all...

Believe it or not, it was Code Geass, after Euphie fired her first shot. I just knew something was bad was going to happen, and then her death came. 8th MS Team made me grip the edge of my chair, and Kanon made me go "Aw, man, that must suck for him."

But Evangelion... ah, that one is one anime I won't watch alone in my room after midnight and before daybreak.

I remember renting & playing Hey You, Pikachu! when it came out (I was about 9 or 10) & cried when Pikachu ran away because I thought I was the reason he ran away. I also cried when I had to return because I thought I wouldn't be able to take care of him & he would die.

BE CAREFUL WITH SPOILERS PEOPLE!!!
Anyways, lots of animes made me emotional... most of them where already quoted here: Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Chrono Crusade, Hotaru no Haka, Kanon, Air, Kenshin Tsuyokuhen, Fruits Basket, Saikano, Hachikuro, Onegai Teacher... I guess there are more.

But just a couple of days ago I watched the one that got me harder... Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.
http://xspblog.com/2008/08/20/anime-discussion-3-kimi-ga-nozomu-eien/
Not only tears, but it's like, I'm still thinking about it. Probably will take me some more days to "get over it"... T_T

Sure.
-Macross ---Roy's death
-Air ---the ending
-Gurren Lagann ---you know who's death
-Voices of a Distant Star
-Maharo ---the ending

When an anime has great character development and then kills off a truly special and beloved character its hard not to get a frog in your throat.

The animes that I had a tough time controlling my emotions while watching were CLANNAD, Chobits, & ef: a tale of memories. I'm pretty sure CLANNAD: After Story will make me tear up as well =/

Clannad the movie made me cry :(

Gurren Lagann, Macross, and some parts of EVA. As for games, I would say the Metal Gear Series-it has some sad moments.

I have never been moved to tears by any show I've watched ever. There were close calls though. In anime that would be Boys Be. I felt like looking for a girlfriend after watching that show.......

5cm Per Second. Not so much in the middle act, but certain scene in acts 1 and 3 cause my tear reservoirs to burst. Sadly, I wasn't as moved by Shinkai's "The Promised Place..." movie. I'm hoping (based on the comments) that "Voices of a Distant Star will be as good (or better) as 5cm Per Second.

So many things nowadays make me cry, i believe they just have found my weak point,
but i can truly say the older i get the harder it's for me to cry, i remember crying with Ef, and with ichigo 100%...mostly i cry at the ends 'cause i have obsessive compulsive behavior and stay depressed a week or two until i move on. :(

I cried at the end of "Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien", "5 Centimeter Per Second", "Aria The Origination" and "Elfen Lied".

LOTS of them, but I'm kind of a pussy. ^_^
I bawled through the second half of Saikano (seriously, I started around episode 6 and just kept crying until the end). And I always cry whenever I watch Voices of a Distant Star. What else...Cowboy Bebop, Nadia, Gunslinger Girl, Chrno Crusade (oh man I cried so hard), Full Metal Alchemist, Trigun, Kanon, AIR, Evangelion (when Kaji dies), Grave of the Fireflies, The Daughter of Twenty Faces, even Azumanga Daioh (because it reminded me of how sad I was leaving my HS friends behind). Basically anything where a beloved character dies (particularly in a heroic sort of death), and I especially get emotional during scenes where a group of characters stand up against nearly impossible odds and go out like heroes even when they know they'll probably die (that always gets me).
Video games that made me cry.... Final Fantasy X, Lost Odyssey, both Kingdom Hearts games, and probably a couple others.
I can only think of one manga that's made me cry though, and that's Fruits Basket.

the one that made my cry the most gotta be Saikano ^^; and then i cried at one epi in Fuushi Yuugi ;_; (when a certain char dies) and im sure there is a few more (not the mention a certain scene in One piece..) but there has been a few that made me almost cry too.
Although i remember that in my "early states" of anime watching i didnt really find anything sad enough to cry at, more like ":/" but now iv gotten more emotional at anime ^^; (my siblings saw that i cried at the fuushi yuugi episode and kinda laughted at me >:| bastards) but yeah,im sure i'll see more animes that'll make my eyes get watery ^^;

Voices of a Distant Star, Chrono Crusade, and Saikano made me cry ;_;
Tales of the Abyss made me cry too =(

Only one that really made me cry was the ef anime ef tale of memories. I cried almost every episode starting around 6 or 7 and what made it worse was I marathoned it in one day. I was such an emotional wreck after 11 because of what happened I stopped watching it for the day and called off work for that day and the day after. I remember talkin with my friend about the anime throughout on steam and when I hit 11 I told him I "I'm dropping this shitty ass anime." He never saw it but convinced me to keep with it since I was at the last episode anyways. Then episode 12 just added to me being an emotional wreck. I literally sat there after it was done for an hour doing nothing.

No idea how people could have followed it while it was airing lol

Elfen Lied and Rozen Maiden were the last ones that made me cry

I Have Completed F.E.A.R. And That Taught Me Not To Cry, So Now Its Kind Of Impossible For A Steel Shell Like Me To Cry.

I remember when I was first watching Robotech (Macross) the episode where Roy Fokker dies ... that was pretty sad. Any of Shinkai's films (Voices of a Distant Star, A Place Promised ... and 5 CM Per Second) have moved me in an emotional and good way. I can tend t get sad at the end of a series as I get used to having the characters as friends.

I cried in almost every single anime.... (-_______-.

I think my fist cry for the anime is for pokemon when pikachu leave sasha ( but is when i was young) My fist realy tears is for NHK ni youkoso.

Many have made me cry... Most recently it was Gurren Lagann. Well, I didn't cry so much, but felt very bad about the outcome.

Yes, please be careful with SPOILERS!

I have yet to cry from watching an anime or playing a game -_-

Yeah! The spoilers-- I had to be really careful to avoid reading some of this. For those of us over here in the U.S., anime broadcasting pretty much *sucks.* (Damn you Adult Swim! Da-a-a-amn you-u-u-u!). I am the kind of person who can shed tears over almost ANYTHING (Yes, it's true; I admit it). I think Tenrou mentioned Bleach - Memories of Nobody; that was my most recent experience. I was trying to hide tears from the other people in the movie theatre. The ending was so sad! I cried during Naruto when Sarutobi-sensei died (the 3rd Hokage). I don't think anyone mentioned the final episode of Blood+! Any other fans out there? That last episode was SOOoo touching! I didn't think Cowboy Be-Bop would end the way it did; that made me cry. I also cried when Yagami Soichiro died. :-( Thanks to Adult Swim's crappy programming, I have never been able to watch the whole Samurai Champloo series through to the end (someone else mentioned it).
This is making me sad you guys!!

I cried at the end of Basilisk. Even though I sort of knew where it was all headed, I held out a sliver of hope. Romeo & Juliet, with ninjas... it's just so sad!

E^d

AIR TV beach's scene where Misuzu and Haruko is going to be seperated ...I cried like a baby when I first see that scene four years ago.

Even until now remembering that scene makes me kinda .... **melancholic**? lol

Kanon and the first arc in Clannad. got me crying.

Kanon especially, still moves me to tears after the 5th time watching it.

An old anime movie called Windaria. Pretty messed stories involving warring countries, love, and betrayal. Is not a happy ovie.

Simoun got me more than any other anime so far. Specifically Mamina's leaving and went and ending.

Don't get me wrong, Air, Kannon and Clannad all had extremely touching moments, especially poor Fuko but I really connected with Simoun more than any other series.

Kanon and Clannad. Hands down to that.

And oh yeah, the latest Rurouni Kenshin OVA got me all tears and shit.

lets say i must agree about kanon being a tearjerker, another was the ending of solty rei

First thing that has always popped into my head when this type of subject gets brought up, is the rurouni kenshin "samurai X" OVA's With it's mixture of beautiful art, music, and dialague, this one gets me every time, especially the last installment. Strangly enough though the English version, gets to me more that the Japanese one, It has great English VAs.
As for videogames, The ending of both the first Kingdom Hearts game and Final Fantasy X, got to me a bit. I suppose pretty music helps alot.

Honey & Clover and Fullmetal Alchemist at MH's death gets me everytime.
He was the last character I wanted to see die.

last episode of Witch Blade put a tear in my eye.

Hmm Lets see. The Grave of the Fireflies, 5 Centimeters Per Second, Spirited Away...erm a lot. Voices of a Distnt Star...The Place Promised in Our Early Days...T^T Oh and manga wise there are an endless amount..but recently it has to be I.S. [Ai-Esu] So sad...

kanon makes me cry~

Ef--A tale of memories is quite touching. It got me to the verge or tears. Haven't watched Kimikiss though.

AIR, Kanon and CLANNAD... Made me cry tears of joy, laughter and sadness...

I cried for many many anime and manga but I never really weeps for any games.

I think I cried the most for Pokemon ^^; and the longest continuous tears for Kurenai ( I was going all waa waa for the second half). Somehow I cried for all the Key's anime although me dont even understand AIR.

This is odd to answer.

Tears come unexpectedly, and when I think I might, or rewatch something, they don't come.

Eyes got moist at times for Fuuko's arc in CLANNAD; that's all I recall, but I'm sure there were other times…

me is Kanon, Air, CLANNAD, 5CM and etc. Some of it take quite sometime to recover back...

Air TV... The plot was way too good. Gao~

No anime series yet has "moved me to tears". I am incapable of feeling many human emotions, but there have been numerous anime series that have moved me in some way or made me think.

Blood+
Gundam Wing
Gundam 8th MS Team
G Gundam
and the winner... Samurai X.

Gurren Lagann choked me up more than once. The first season of Higurashi was moving in a really disturbing way. Gundam 00 made me squirt some tears. Evangelion evoked a lot of emotion in me. There are a lot more, one of the main reasons I like anime is because of the variety of emotions most are able to evoke, even simplistic shonen stuff like Naruto. In relation to the comment about FFX, I have never once found a Final Fantasy game's ending to be anything more than generic or weird. I've been consistently disappointed by every FF ending. And as far as games that have made me mad, GnG made me do the same Danny, as well as Double Dragon and Contra. My friend has thrown a shoe at the TV over Tekken 5 and he just recently told me he threw his wireless 360 controller and bit it when he couldn't win the 2 matches he needed on Live with Soul Calibur 4.

Since no one seems to do it a lot, but eroge plot lines are somewhat relevant too right?

The true end of Fortune Arterial made me a bit teary. From the last 4-5 scenes to the credits (almost cried during the credits scroll)

Anime's I've had watery eyes when watching/finished:

Kimi ga Nozomu Ein
Macross (end mostly)
Simoun (end mostly)
Air

Games would be:

Lunar:Silver Star Story (for Sega CD, I cried a little back then)
Final Fantasy 4;2 in US (Wow, Golbez what?!? and the end was a happy teary one)
Final Fantasy 6; 3 in US (Loved it, just plain loved it, the whole Terra story so heart breaking)
Shining Force 2 for Genesis (sad ending, and a full of hope one as well)
Chrono Trigger

I guess that's it, those are the most anime/games I have enjoyed, regardless of dificulty or pain it's been to clear them. Those are basically the ones that I have felt a lot when the have ended. Good stuff.

game: The Secret of Mana (SNES)
anime: Kannon, Now and Then Here and There, Air, Figure 17 and Voices of a Distant Star. Oh I just remember the last episode of Banner of the Star II. You know, when Lafiel start saying "Jinto, Jinto" over and over. I though "...man, they should not make that nice kid suffer".
Anyways, I'm an emotional fellow... my girlfriend says I'm a crybaby. hahaha LOL

Cry? Well, I do do that from time to time. Rumbling Hearts was one of those sad stories populated by understandable idiots you just want to smack and say something like 'grow a pair!' As for a game, Discipline made me cry--NOT because I was sad at seeing one of the bad endings first, but because it was that disturbing.

5 centimeters a second

The episode in Kanon when Makoto died, Shakugan no Shana first season's last episode where Yuuji and Shana thought they were going to die, Lala-chan's sacrifice of her love for Rito's happiness, just to mention a few.

Fuhigi Yuugi when Nuriko dies...and the part with Tamahome's family

There are quit a few animes that give you a "splash in face with emotions"

Like the already mentioned Gundam 0080 War in The Pocket give you a sense of the bad after taste and makes Al a more rounded character in the end. Plus it is the emotional elements that make a good anime drama

anime that made me cry REALLY hard:

Air (towards the end), CLANNAD (only tomoyo's arc), Voices of the distant star, grave of fireflies, only yesterday (studio ghibli's one - i cried at the ending credits), Gundam MS IGLOO, Ginban Kaleidoscope (Pete, you're such a jerk!), Rurouni Kenshin (Shishio's Arc), Fushigi Yuugi (the fate of tamahome's family, chiriko's fate, nuriko...sniff, sniff), kannazuki no miko (why that two girls have to be separated?!), doraemon (i cried to this when i was a kid. 10 years later, i cried harder at the "ending")

anime that made me go emo but without the tears:

code geass R2 (ALL HAIL LELOUCH!), NGE & End of Evangelion (it made me think real hard...), Gatekeepers (i hate to see it ended. i was 15 at that time), Vandread (the death of shirley and bart crying), Slam Dunk (at the end of Shohoku vs Kainan), Ayashi no Ceres (the death of chidori), gensoumaden saiyuki, gundam seed (the death of fllay...i'm her fan, you know...), steam detectives, you're under arrest 2nd season (when natsumi & miyuki got separated).

manga that made me bawl like a baby:

kanon (towards the end, ayu's arc), tomoyo after: dear shining memories (yes, i read that. but i want to play the game, too...), emma, fruits basket, ichigo 100% (towards the end), mahoraba (the scene where kozue-chan got cured), tsuiteru kanojo.

how about games?:

a dream of summer by milk cat(a free VN, simple but it has a great emotional impact. i played it for the whole day and after i finished it, i cried for one hour), Narcissu by stage nana (also a free VN-damn, why the heroine had to die?), heart de roomate (H-game), piece of wonder (RPG visual novel), true love by software house parsley (an otaku must get his/her hands on this one!), yuki sakura/ snow sakura (H-game, kozue's and saki's route made me go emo)

anime that made me cry REALLY hard:

I don't watch much anime but if the ending is even a little sad, I can go depressed for days.

An normal ending can still make my throat sore just because I don't want whatever I was watching to end.

And if the ending is meant to be a sad and emotional one...I don't know what will happen, I avoided those anime for this reason. Like AIR and Clannad.

agree that 5 cm per second is the most emotional movie i ever seen i almost cry at the end...i also almost cry when i saw sasuke story... well if something make u cry (not make u frustrated till u cry) means it is a really good piece of work.

5cm per second and Clannad are the ones that made me cry like a baby...

For anime I think 5cm per second, Yoakena, Clannad and many other but I can't remember...for game Narcissu is the best I think...All of those makes me cry...

Fullmetal Alchemist and the broken Angel made me cry at the end. That's the only game I can think of right of hand.

Neon Genesis Evangelion. Especially after episode 26. "GOD DAMN IT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT WHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
But Clannad made me cry like Kanye on the Jay Leno Show. I think it was there goal or else why would they put that montage of her after she died. As for games I cried after Shadow of the Colossuis(sorry I don't know how to spell it and to lazy) when she woke up without "him" and had to raise the "kid" by herself with no one else around.

byousoku 5 centimeter proven to me have watch it a dozen times and it never failed
and for games my first and my best final fantasy viii and metal gear solid: snake eater

Haibane Renmei. Gotta have the tissue box nearby, and since I am female that means only one thing. If the last few episodes don't get you, you are made of stone.

she the ultimate weapon,Grave of the Fireflies, elfen lied,trigun, now then here and there,FMA,manga like naruto with some deaths, but what makes them more emotional is the music playing,planetES,takes alot to make me cry. and it takes a man to admit this

I got too say Gurren lagann.
Kamina and Nia.
Now i heard they werent gonna kill of Kamina until fans of Gl said they Simon was like a stalker to Kamina.Damn those people.And Nia's was really they just didnt have to kill her off.

Elfen Lied (if someone harms a puppy like this anime, i would have psycho slash them too! jk),
Gurren Lagann (Kamina's death),
Air/Kanon/Clannad (its either laugh till u cry, or cry cry),
Zero no Tsukaima (Saito's fight to the death)

.. These shows made me tear .. quite a bit!

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
Eureka Seven
Gunbuster
Gunbuster2(the ending)
Grave of the Fireflies
Only Yesterday

As for games... I think FFVII and Chrono Trigger.
