Anime that makes you cry

[EvaFan]

how many episodes is it?

im terrible at watching anything with more than 26 eps >.<

it's only 6 episodes. The drama goes full blown around episode 4.

Clannad made me cry on several occasions as well as a couple others but clannad being the most recent. The movie did the worst damage to me.

Never cried during any Film, Anime, or Video Game. I pride myself on that fact.

However I was REALLY close on:
Grave of the Fireflies (needs an explanation?)
Gurren Lagann [both the sad (ep 8, 25) and the epic (ep 8, 11, 25, 26, 27)]
Gunslinger Girl (fuck s2 and its loli-rezzing powers; the ending of the original series was amazing)
Voices of a Distant Star (Place Promised was sort of sad, but it didn't make as much of an impact on me. 5cm was not very good outside the eye candy)
Berserk (especially the Eclipse as told in the Anime. The rage, sadness, love, lust, and betrayal all combines into a sort of emotional whirlwind for the viewer)

See that's what I'm wondering, what is so sad about 5cm? Sure the main character is a loser, but are we supposed to feel sorry for him or something?

What I got out of it:

Spoiler :

It's sad because for all those years, from childhood and right up until the very last scene, he was holding out hope that he could one day return to the life he once knew with the girl. She, on the other hand, has clearly moved on with her life and is even happy. The whole thing is about moving through time, and his living in the past ruining his present/future. The final scene is him acknowledging she's moved on, and so he finally does as well.

I think all that proves is that

Spoiler :

he doesn't really notice that other women love him and manages to lose all 3 of them.

Pathetic, yes, but why would you cry for him.
