I cry at the drop of a hat these days.

First, the ones others have mentioned:

  • Clannad -- but only the first season
  • Gurren Lagann -- but not the dramatic moment in the first season that's supposed to have that impact
  • Kiki's Delivery Service -- everyone is so nice (╥﹏╥)
  • Trigun (original) -- Hallelujah

As for my own:

  • Haibane Renmei -- everyone is so nice ( ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥)
  • WorldEnd (AKA SukaSuka AKA What Are You Doing at the End of the World? Are You Busy? Will You Save Us?) -- a tragic romance but it still got to me as it was meant to
  • Cowboy Bebop -- the ending of Ed & Faye's stories always get me bawling
  • Millennium Actress -- just destroys me more than any other of Kon's works
  • The Light of a Firefly Forest

EDIT: I was trying to ignore movies but how could I forget to mention Koe No Katachi (AKA A Slient Voice)? I watch that one every year or two when I need a good cry to kinda reset.

    Only the first season of Clannad? I know theres some great parts of S1, but

    After Story spoiler"Sanae-san said the only places I can cry are in the toilet and in daddy's arms"
    absolutely destroys me every time - I'm welling up just typing it out lol. There's plenty of other great scenes in S2 that at least put it on-par with S1 IMO.

    Yeeeaaahh... I thought S2 was trying way too hard to actually get a reaction. Actually I still didn't care for parts of S1. The arc that still sticks with me is starfish girl, that one made me a gibbering wreck.

    Not that I'm saying any of that soured the experience, but with how obvious it was being, it couldn't actually move me.
