    ...none of them will be on my list, I'm sure, but because I'm a softy, here are my tearful moments:

    Code Geass​
    1. Refrain (The episode). The reasons for this are quite obvious...
    2.
    Spoiler:


    Azumanga Daioh​
    1. The episode that ended with them all running off into the field happily. Tears of joy, there...
    2. The end. The episode did such a good job of reminding you why you loved the characters.


    So yes, share your moments of Manly Tears.
     
    Hmmmm for me there has been a few. Totally manly tears (not sobbing into my pillow like a little kid)

    Clannad After Story had me in tears 3 times:embarrass;
    Spoiler:


    The end of Grave Of The Fireflies.

    Been choked up about a number of other shows but those are the only ones i've actually cried over.

    Stop laughing.
     
    GotF actually was pretty sad.

    Then you watch Schindler's List.

    Hmm... There was one other for me, but I can't seem to remember...

    Ah, Lain.

    The end of Lain was kind of... Bittersweet.

    Also,
    Spoiler:
     
    Only DB/Z sad moments made me cry badly:
    > Krillin killed by Tambourine
    > Goku teleports himself and Cell to North Kaio planet, then gets blowed by Cell
    > Vegeta self-destruction and when his body changes into ashes scene.
     
    Grave of the Fireflies.

    I cried like a child at the end of that film. I was genuinely expecting it to end differently

    Naive little me
     
    CLANNAD ~AFTER STORY~:
    1.
    Spoiler:

    2.
    Spoiler:

    3.
    Spoiler:


    I think I have a family complex.
     
    Pokemon The movie (that one with Mewtwo)
    ~When Ash turned to stone and everybody started crying, I just died.

    Naruto Shippuden
    Spoiler:


    Yep, these are probably some obvious ones and I'm sure there are more from other anime I've watched.
     
    I've honestly never cried while watching an anime... not to say it doesn't effect me at all. The saddest moment for me is when a great anime finally ends... especially Azumanga Daioh, and Lucky Star. (I have seen a few sad ones, don't be fooled by those two examples lol.)

    I can't imagine how I'll feel if pokemon ever ends... lol. (I feel sad just thinking about it... :'()

    I'm tempted to say pretty much half of the major events of Clannad and Clannad ~After Story~...but those weren't manly tears. They were emotionally charged, affectionate girly tears that I shed. I did shed a few "man tears" in a few moments in Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen, including when Kenshin and Tomoe first met and the ending. Oh, and Tengenn Toppa Gurren Lagann's whole second arc.
     
    One Piece, Nico Robin's 3 episode long past, especially how it was building up to it and you knew something was going to happen. Also pretty much the first few episodes of Aishteruze Baby, I still miss the yellow hat and don't even get me started on the manga.

    Whoahoho, guys, use spoiler tags. Strangely enough, a few arc-enders in Gintama also had me in teary-eyes, like the fireworks episode.

    I forgot about the spoiler things. I edited my post.

    Spoiler:
     
    I cried in the episode about Ichigo's mom and how she died and Ichigo trying to avenge her in Bleach. The end got me, with Ichigo injured and Rukia looking over him and the flashbacks.... *cries*
    And in the My neighbour Totoro movie when mei goes missing.
     
    1. Angel beats!
    I cried a lot during it, in many different parts of the anime.

    2. H20 Footprints in the sand
    I cried during the ending.

    3. 5 centimeters per second.

    It was just sad D:
     
    At the end of Angel Beats!, I bawled. I knew it was gonna be bittersweet, but I'm kind of emotional, so yeah.

    And then there was the end of Kotomi's arc in CLANNAD (I'll start After Story soon, I promise). Being bittersweet as well, I was crying for a bit.

    And while 5cm per second didn't make me cry, I was a bit on the depressed side for a while.

    Oh, and I kind of cried with Grave of the Fireflies. None of Miyazaki's other films are as depressing, so I wasn't expecting that sort of outcome.

    Finally, as I am reading Elfen Lied, there are points in the manga where I almost cried because of how hard some of the characters have it, but I refrained from doing so.
