Emotional Anime

Original title "Animes and games that've made you cry or emotional" from member Zoniku.

For me that would be Gundam 0080 War in the Pocket - why why did it have to end like that?!
Grave of the Fireflies was too disturbing for me to continue watching.

Strike Witches can cause tears too - tears knowing that you cant have any of them as your friend.
As for games? Ghosts n Goblins for the Commodore 64 - the ice palace not only drive me to tears - it drove me to smash my joystick on the floor! I was very young at the time ^^;

Original text from zoniku below.

I wanna take a minute to be serious for a moment. Have you ever seen an anime that's ever made you cry? Tonight, I can add my 2nd anime to my list of animes that've made me cry: Voices of a Distant Star.

After watching Higurashi, I decided to watch Pale Cocoon since most people compared it to Makoto Shinkai's works. After almost getting emotional (I was a bit confused at the ending, but man, the art was wonderful), I wasn't in the mood to watch another episode of Higurashi or some comedy anime that I had (Ouran Host Club, School Rumble, etc.) & decided that it would be the perfect to watch Voiced of a Distant Star. Seeing as 5 Centimeters Per Second, another anime by Makoto Shinkai was the 1st anime that made me cryI knew what I was in for. & yet, I was amazed on how much it touched me. After seeing both his movies, I almost want to call Makoto Shinkai the Miyazaki of Emotional animes. I hope The Place Promised in Our Early Days will be just as good.

Edit: I've decided to add video games to the list. I remember crying to the ending of Klonoa for the Playstation when I beated it when I was about 11. That was a fun game....I also got sad (but I don't recall crying) to the end of Final Fantasy X.
