Well, I didn't cry or anything even when I was a kid... But kid or not, both in the past and in the present, I did and still do get very sad watching the episode.
Anyone who doesn't feel that moment must be someone who lacks imagination and/or feelings, and therefore will always drive it off as pointless to get sad over things that don't exist, and will feel that it is funny to feel for an anime.
I'm not of that type, so I did feel sad... Now... Who's on my side of this thing and also feels such moments?
