Most touching anime/manga

Surprisingly Toradora didn't do a lot for me. I loved it, but it didn't really move me at all except perhaps the kissing scene between Ryuuji and Taiga towards the end, but it was more of an "aww" thought in my head rather than tear-jerking happiness.

I think there was actually too much comedy. It couldn't really focus on the romance aspect because there was just too much silliness going on in order to develop a real emotional attachment to the characters, but that may just be me.

I can see how people would view it as such, but for me, the comedy was more a question of showing that these people were first and foremost good friends before they were romantic partners.

And as for the "touching" aspect (I should have said it earlier), whenever I'm feeling down, Toradora is my definitive "go to" to cheer me up. If that's not the epitome of touching, than I can't think of what would be. I had to watch a lot of Toradora after watching School Days.

Yeah, suppose it depends on what you are looking for. Touching for me is when I literally cry out of either happiness or sadness, and nothing came close to making me cry as often, and perhaps as hard, as Clannad did.

When I see the name Clannad in a post or topic, I start to feel my emotions go into overdrive. It is a feeling of sadness and happiness that poureth over.

Bitter Virgin
I sympathy her
for what her been through
its like a death sentence for 12 year old girl
she was sexual harass by her step Father
because of that she have an Androphobia (Fear of men)
her life was really hard for her


it was touching im deeply move from that manga
ever since then i always held back when ever i drunk with my friends

Anime-wise. Clannad,Shingetsutan Tsukihime(the whole plotline touched me).

Manga-wise , i'de have to say Watashi no Messiah-sama especialy the final chapters.

Never cried from a manga or anime. Got caught in some moments though. Like the end of cowboy bebop when Spike walks down the stairs. Or when Nicholas D. Wolfwood dies and Vash kills Legato. Yu Yu Hakusho when Genkai dies or when Kuwabara fakes his death. I also love confessions of the heart.

Only thing I can think of that made me cry was the movie CJ7 by Stephen Chow. So sad, such a great movie I love it.


How can you look at that and not love it?

Seriously, why has no one mentioned the anime [color=blue]True Tears[/color]?
i found it to be one of the most touching anime series romance wise.

And also, not many people have said Toradora!(my favorite ^_^).

other than those two, it would be the usual [color=green]Kanon[/color] and [color=green]Clannad[/color] Combo.

Are you serious?? Was that touching to you? Oh well I guess you don't watch many dramas.

Seriously? nothing has made you cry? I can list a couple of anime that'd make any human being cry. But just go straight to Clannad, you will cry. If you don't cry, you probably aren't human.

I'll be sure to watch Clannad after reading this thread. But how could thread go 5+ pages without one mention of STRAWBERRY PANIC!? When my dad spanked me I didn't cry. When my grandmother died...I didn't cry. When I watched Strawberry Panic, I cried.

Clannad, Honey and Clover

True Tears really didn't do it for me. I came to not really like any of the characters except Noe, and not choosing her... yeah, ended up not caring so much. XD

I'm going to have to go with Clannad and Clannad After Story, as it's story touched me. Everything, from the characters to the small interpersonal relationships within the story were handled very well.

LOL

Difficult question. Since I'm a easily moved crybaby sometimes... But 5 Centimeters per Second is the one that I'd say takes the prize, especially the second part.

Actually I'm usually more moved by movies than by series, so close behind is Voices of a Distant Star and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time... For series I'd go with what seems to be the most usual three, Clannad, Kanon and Honey & Clover. I also saw that Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien (Also know as Rumbling Hearts) were mentioned, being the first movie/series/media of any kind i cried to, it holds a special place in my collection.

I'm quite surprised but this is exactly the same movies/series that I was about to say as well. Although I havn't watched clannad after story cause I'm kinda not in the mood for something so tragic right now. Let's face it.. you need to be in the mood to watch the second season of clannad especially if you already know how it's gonna end

Well, they are awesome movies and series, and they are among the most mentioned one in this thread as well, so not so surprising.
Yeah, Clannad ~After Story~ was quite "hard" to watch. I had managed to keep away from spoilers, so while I knew that something was going to happen, I didn't know when, and I didn't know what. It was painful to watch through as I was assuming the worst possible outcome in every turn.

Hoshi no Koe. Its good. But the dual versions of it kinda put off the moments.

Bitter Virgin. Yea this got to me.

Clannad. Needn't say anymore than what has been posted here.

Saikano. Your GF is a freakin' weapon. The light hearted moments really can get to ya.

Call me an idiot, but ToraDora got to me.

Berserk. In its lulls of non-violence and within the violence. Gatts has gone through more shit than I can possibly condone on any tragic character.
