Have any emotional anime series that made you sad and made you cry or almost did. I know I have a few. When posting comments put spoilers on the comments if you are trying to describe a certain moment in the anime.

Touching Anime Series

Air TV
Kanon
Cowboy Bebop
Chobits
Elfen Lied
Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien

Opps.... I thought I made a thread in the anime section. My bad. If a mod would be so kind to move this. Again I am sorry for this.

Every time I go to view an Anime DVD I touch it.
Seriously, I haven't seen much anime but those that have not made me cry but have been very emotional are: elements of Last Exile and basically the whole Noir series.

cowboy bebop *in the process of watching, but i know itll be touching)
Air TV... ACK when does the movie arrive?
Full Moon Wo Sagashite
The Last episode of Jubei-Chan (2nd season) was touching
I'm going to guess that gunslinger girl will be touching as well

*spits into hands* *gets a good grip on thread and drags it to the anime section* There, no worries. ^^ (And they wonder why I am always tired at work)

Last Exile, Wolf's Rain, Haibane Renmei, Gunslinger Girl (haven't finished it yet), .hack SIGN, Grave of the Fireflies, Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal, Rahxephon (series and the movie), Chrono Crusade (haven't finished it yet)

Oh yes, and Voices of a Distant Star (it's amazing what a half and hour can do to you!)

Yeah, no kidding...it'll have you sobbing on the floor in a few minutes flat.

Just finished wolfs rain and it made me cry like a baby, which is good and bad because the only time I seem to cry is at the end of an anime series

- Fusighi Yuugi: I don't give a hoot about Miaka or Tamahome, but all the other characters...T_T So...sad....Nuriko...
- Chrno Crusade: *bawls* JOSHUA!
- Tactics: The only series that caused me to bawl my way through 4 consecutive episodes. T_T; Goodness.
- Escaflowne (both the series and the movie, though I think I can relate to movie Hitomi better...)
- Fruits Basket

yeah, I like the movie hitomi better even if she was a tad suicidal. She seemed a little *ahem ditzy in the show. I still liked her in both.

The three part series "Area 88" was one of them for me. The third part stank, (because they neither followed the comic nor gave it a decent ending), but I cried at all three parts. Mercenary pilots, angst, lots of flying, and the need to get home...

-Now and Then, Here and There is supposed to be a very emotionally charged series.

-Nadesico is mostly funny, but occasionally it takes a very serious turn.

-Trigun.

-Air TV
-Naruto
-Mellinium Actress
-Fruit Baskets

I'm sure there are a few more that made me cry. Can't think of anymore off the top of my head.

Spoilers for CB, Trigun, GOTF, and 08th MS Team...




















Schtuff that made me cry...


Trigun: The deaths of Wolfwood and Legato.

Grave of the Fireflies: The end, when he cremated his sister.

Cowboy Bebop: The end when Spike and Vicious die.

And finally, my saddest moment...

Gundam: 08th MS Team: When Ghinius dies *cries*

"Spoiler space" doesn't work too well here since you have to scroll down
Best to do it like this
[spoiler]Your text here[/spoiler ] <---------- but make sure there is no space between the "r" and the "]"

Your text would then look like this

[spoiler]Schtuff that made me cry...


Trigun: The deaths of Wolfwood and Legato.

Grave of the Fireflies: The end, when he cremated his sister.

Cowboy Bebop: The end when Spike and Vicious die.

Gundam: 08th MS Team: When Ghinius dies *cries*[/spoiler]

Easy enough?

Just a side note: maybe it'd be best to post the shows that touched you, and perhaps not the reasons why. Should those reasons contain spoilers, it could ruin the experience of watching those shows for people that haven't seen them yet but plan to. Use the [spoiler] tag if there's anything you want to divulge that could potentially have this risk. Just something to consider

I've only shed tears for Grave of the Fireflies and Fruits Basket, but here are the anime series that I remember for being extremely emotionally stirring.

- Grave of the Fireflies
- Fruits Basket
- Aura Battler Dunbine (last few episodes, at least)
- Gundam SEED (last half, subbed version only)
- Marmalade Boy (I'm watching the last two episodes tonight -- I don't want it to end! )

I found some episodes of the 2000 version of Astro Boy sad (that is really a given since the older versions have sad moments too). Notable episodes are 11, 35, 43, 49, and 50. The english dub cut out a lot of the sad scenes so, of course, watch the Japanese version of this show.

The Jungle Emperor Leo movie was sad too...

...That's all I could think of right now... ^^;

Now And Then, Here And There...This show is really touching a brutal.

Nadesico...Very funny but also serious and touching parts.

Cowboy Bebop, Ghost In The Shell, that bout sums it up for me.

Voices of a Distant Star as a whole.

Casshern(technically not anime, but close enough)was really sad.

In Nadesico when [spoiler] Gai Daigoji died [/spoiler] was like a shot in the heart.

Giant Robo, which is a drama as opposed to a mecha/action series, is extremely sad, starting from about the end of the third episode all the way to the end.

Full Moon Wo Sagashite. I have never been so emotional about any book/movie/tv show/manga. . . ANYTHING in my LIFE! *cries. again*

I feel horribly depressed for a few weeks after I watched all of Princess Tutu.

Oh, and Pokemon almost made me cry. XDD

i finished gunslinger girl yesterday

it was... touching

digimon made be cry... because my cousin had a tape of it from korean... with korean people speaking in english...

ok i didn't really cry... but it was so....bad

The Rurouni Kenshin OVA called 'Samurai X Trust and Betrayal'. The ending had me crying through the credits and for five full minutes after the screen went dark because the credits were over. That and 'Voices of a Distant Star' are the two that had me crying the most of all.

+Samurai X and Samurai X Trust and Betrayal
+Pretear
+Millenium Actress
+Gundam Seed
+Fruits Basket
+Tokyo Mew Mew
[spoiler]I cried during the last volume, when Ichigo gave up all her energy to save Masaya after he used the Mew Aqua.[/spoiler]

For me it would be:

Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien
Kanon
Grave of the Fireflies
Someday Dreamers
Ceres
and Saikano

All of which had really really touching stories...

There are many touching ones. Some that come to mind.

-Pocket Monsters
-Ai Yori Aoshi
-Someday's Dreamers
-Trigun
-Rurouni Kenshin
-InuYasha
-Fullmetal Alchemist

And the list goes on.
