VNs make me cry more than anime. Clannad, especially certain routes, was the most effective.

>>62It's hard to make me cry these days, so anything that manages instantly gets better in my book.
From what I remember now it was definitely Haibane Renmei, Ping Pong the Animation, Top wo Nerae! Gunbuster, Houseki no Kuni, Monogatari Series, Kyousougiga, Tsumiki no Ie and several Shinkai movies. Also Lucky Star, because of nostalgia and lots of regret piled up.
Might also have cried during Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight and Tatami Galaxy, but I'm not sure.

>>87>my crying varies from watered eyes to maybe two tears at best and I never cry when I am sad. I'm actually the same way. It's what years of imageboard desensitization does to you, I suppose: hardly showing your emotions.
>A Silent Voice also made me cry and so did Disappearance of Haruhi. These exact movies made me tear up as well. Among the shows not yet mentioned in this thread, there were also Planetes and 5cm/s.
Planetes in particular was kind of a hard emotional shock. I identified hard with Hachimaki and his hopeless ambition,
which made it both soul-crushing and enlightening to see him selfishly walk towards his ambition while ignoring everyone else around him. I wish I had that determination, you know? The last thing I want is to end my life without having accomplished anything. It made me start exercising and thinking about my future seriously. Now I just need my Tanabe.

I know there are way too many K-ON fans here, but the second time I watched K-ON I shed tears literally every episode. I have a theory that K-ON isn't truly meant to be experienced until the second watch-through. It’s a long show, and during the first watch-through you’re experiencing everything for the first time just like the girls themselves. It’s nice and all, but just like real life you’re always focused on the future, wondering what’s next; it's hard to properly appreciate at the time. The second time you watch K-ON, however, you’re with the girls again, only this time you’re older, looking back through nostalgia goggles at your collective past. You’re remembering all these events which took place over the years, this time not looking towards the future, but at the past, and with the knowledge that it will all eventually come to an end. There’s a tremendous amount of melancholy looking back and knowing that this time together was finite; everything is tinged in that melancholic euphoria. I shed a tear at least once during every single one of the forty one episodes the second time around, and during most episodes I cried quite a lot. I really think you experience it as one of the characters, looking back and knowing that those wonderful time with those wonderful friends is over and exists now only in your memories.

The whole series came out over three years and the first season was just a single cour and has a noticeably cheaper and more rushed production. The manga was popular of course and they might have expected an adaptation to do well (though probably not "outsold Haruhi" well), but it's very rare that several seasons are planned from the start.
But yes, that sort of voyeuristic but sentimental vicarious youth experience is Kyoani's bread and butter. That and cinema-quality animation in TV anime. Only they could turn a mediocre Kirara 4koma into an animated masterpiece.

This is probably really cliche, but I cried so hard at Evangelion. When I watched it as a kid, I was too wrapped up in the atrocities the kids in the show had to undergo to really dig into the underlying themes. It just depressed me. But when I rewatched it a few years later, it was totally different. I felt like the show tore open my soul and forced me to stare it in the face. I cried, and then I felt better about life.

Quite often, and in fact, i enjoy it, feeling emotion is something i adore and an indicator that i love the story im watching. I'm very passionate about stories, being a writer myself.
A constant tear jerker for me is probably Gintama. Some of the more emotional moments really tug at my heartstrings. It's usually happy tears of course. Haikyuu and Gurren Lagann also have a similar effect. And Naruto because of nostalgia. I also used to cry to powerups back when i was a teen as i would get so invested in the characters, that seeing their journeys come to their conclusions really got some emotions to surface.
When it comes to VNs, i don't have much experience with them, but the ending to the Fate route always made me cry. Umineko would always get me on the verge of tears at times too.

I haven't cried since I was a child, apparently it's part of my autism. I really wish I could cry at media but I've never managed it. Didn't cry when my grandma died either. Many of the shows mentioned in this thread did make me sad though at the end. Kannon comes to mind as a particularly heart wrenching VN.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid made me cry a bunch of times. It gets really really dark. You wouldn't expect that from a live-action children's show but that's what I love about the Kamen Rider series, they always end up going from charming and silly to really intense and emotionally charged.

>>62I found out I literally can't rewatch "Kimi no Na Wa" or even listen to the songs because it easily makes me cry so much. I'm trans and I want to live in Japan in a beautiful town, go to a Japanese school and fall in love so badly as a girl, but it's all impossible for me. The movie makes me yearn for too many impossible things and even though I love the story, I have to stop watching it after a few minutes or it easily ruins my day. The first time I watched it I was crying at the end and it haunted me for days as I kept thinking back to it.
I wonder if anyone else here has felt so much emotion when they've watched an anime. Even listening to the lyrics from the movie is enough to make me cry, and I don't normally cry when I watch anime.
