My most recent near-crying experience was watching Saturday's Full Metal Alchemist.
[spoiler=Full Metal Alchemist Episode 15, "The Ishbal Massacre"]The look on Roy's face as he stared down at the doctors he had just shot...I've never seen him with that much emotion on his face. He looked so terrified and horrified at what he had just done... Also, as Dr. Marco described how the war started, the expression on the face of the child whose parents had been killed... Ooh.[/spoiler]
It reminded me so much of the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex episode "Jungle Cruise", which also nearly got to me. Brr...war crimes...

Oh, I do the same thing. Except I use some of my limited knowledge of Japanese. ( :lol: ) "Tanpopo! Baka! Go after that boy! What are you doing!? Why are you-- baka! baka! baka!"
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I often go "aww", especially when a boy does something nice for a girl. Like that one time in Slayers when Lina had to stay in Gourry's room and she layed down on the floor and Gourry wouldn't sleep on the bed because she was on the floor. "What kind of a man sleeps on a bed when a woman is sleeping on the floor?" Awwwwwwww...
I yell at mean people, too. ^^

I'm never actually cried after watching an anime.... so far only Kimi ga Nozomu Eien and Grave of the Fireflies have really struck an emotional cord. The few titles making me think about about how fragile life can really be. Actually to be fair, those are the only 2 I've had to hold back any signs of tears...

Still, I'll always have a soft spot for dramatic or romance series... It's always nice to get some genre variation.

I've never cried watching anything....and i've seen a lot of sad anime and movies... (and that's nothing to be proud of!) I sometimes think my heart is made of stone when I don't cry after watching stuff like Grave of the Fireflies, Now and Then Here and There, and stuff like that (and non-anime movies like Passion of the Christ, Pearl Harbor etc). Some other anime that I've seen that've been pretty emotional for me I think are Fullmetal Alchemist, Kare Kano, and .hack//sign (more of a heartwarmy feeling rather than a pity/sorrow feeling).

Of course, they'e all made me feel emotional, but never enough to have me cry.
