2. Honma Meiko (Ano Hana)

23. Hanekawa Tsubasa (Bakemonogatari)

25. Ogino Chihiro (Spirited Away)
You guys are crazy, number one should be Louise from ZNT, after Saito sacrifices himself, battling the enemy’s army, protecting everybody and then dat sad song kicks in. Damn son! T_T
Nunally/Shirley should be placed higher.
I’m just glad that my dear Ayanami Rei is in this list.
#12 is all I care about.
Kenshiro (Hokuto no Ken)
Almost all his friends, all his Hokuto brothers, his biological brother, his loved one, and the great enemies he faced all died…(manly tears)…
WHATABOUT ANGELBEAT???? so many moving tear moments
And where are Simon’s tears for Kamina?!
I cannot even THINK about “Last Regrets” (the theme song from “Kanon”) without tears.
where is the face that i will never forget of emiya kiritsugu when he finds shiro in f/z? not sure if he was actually crying though… maybe just tears in his eyes kind of thing? regardless, that expression counts for all the tears in this world.
once i got the name Waver Velvet at No. 18, this whole list started to make a lot of sense. BOZUUUUU!!!!!
That One Piece is on the list is no surprise but Vivi? Certainly a memorable scene but I would put Nami, Robin and especially Merry way above it!
One Piece sucks.
Grave of the Fireflies.
Just…the whole goddamn movie.
You know a list is short-memory-term made when the same title appears more than 3 times, unless the category is VERY specific, which is not the case here.
Well, no surprise on that, anyway…
Sayaka’s tears were unforgettable… but for the wrong reason.
Seyiku lost it.
Nunally crying when lelouch dies.. Ahh.. unforgetable moment!!
where’s kanon?
Tomoyo deserves 1st place. Runners up are well chosen.
Mirai/everyone in her family in tokyo magnitude got me pretty good.
1. Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass)
2. Maes Hughes (Fullmetal Alchemist)
The tears for death of Ryu Jose in Mobile Suit Gundam should be in this list.
“Crying is a nosebleed of the heart.” – Kushieda Minori
That quote is so awesome it put a tear in my eye.
I have most trouble forgetting those huge blobs from Shiki.
Ano Hana on list.
This list is legit.
Where the fuck is VEGETA?
Fucking this! Totally unexpected and was a very epic scene.
manly tears shed for Roy Focker’s death (both the original television version and the movie version).
BTW, was reading this site what got my named added to the Texas Fusion Center list and why i am now being gangstalked by the state of texas?
they want to buttseks you
Zabuza (naruto)
Dai Gurren Dan tears in the end of eighth episode.
What about Vash from Trigun? That scene where he’s eating donuts while crying was really moving.
Pikachu (Pokemon first movie)
No Emerl? (Sonic X)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtGs8ETXi7o
The teardrop mouths of a few Minami-ke girls.
Isurugi Noe’s on there! At least someone remembers <3
Another ranking with Clannad in first position…
Why the people like this Anime? Oh yeah, because they cried in the scene of Nagisa’s death. The old and cliche “I like this anime because it made me cry” argument.
The first season made me smile a lot, and the second season made me cry a lot. Maybe it didn’t work the same way for yourself, but it would seem for a lot of people, Clannad was able to connect with them on an emotional level, and that’s not something that you get out of every anime.
No Sailor Moon’s Naru tears. This list is invalid.
I would have added Tenshi (Angel Beats), Nami (One Piece Arlong-ark)
Where`s Kamina of Tenggen Toppa Gurren Lagann!
and also AIR,ef memories
Did Kamina ever cry?
DUDE!!What about Vegeta!? How can anyone forget the tears and death of the prince of saiyans!?
For me, its still Kimi ga nozomu Eien.
Merry Go’s funeral = full of tears that can’t be forgotten , Pokemon movie 1 = same deal.
Tomoya crying is the best homg
Man, Clannad really gets down everyone. Even I being a boy, I confess that I cryied a lot in that anime, in fact all the last episodes since Nagisa’s death. But I’m really surprised, as a lot of people that I’ve read the comment, ’cause Otonashi’s tears isn’t in the list, the end of that anime really got me down too.
Heck, I get misty eyed just thinking back to After Story.
Hokuto… ’nuff said
Chobits was bit sad but only in the episode where one guy bought malfunctioning robot and at the end it saved his life. I don’t see where Evangelion could be sad brainfucking yes in few places but sad don’t thing so.
Clannad’s gallon-sized tears are hard to forget.
Instead crying i jerked off to these animes
And thus, why the characters were crying.
It’s hard to forget Madoka’s tears when they happen four times an episode.
If your friends were killing each other left and right and becoming mindless demons, you would too.
Multiple entries from the same shows and not a single one from 5cm per Second?
Fuck you.
Snoozefest. Characters don’t seem to really care (otherwise they would’ve had buttsechs) so why should the audience?
– Hey! We’re gonna make an anime that is impressively stunning in the visual department. Fuck it, we’re gonna completely ignore anything with a plot or any character interactions to have anything actually going on within the movie! Who cares about plot when the graphics are good? It took a lot of hard work to make something like this!
Where is Nico Robin when she said I WANT TO LIVE
That was more an epic moment than sad, it symbolised Robin’s true acceptance into the crew… and their declaration of war 😛
TAKE ME TO SEA WITH YOU!
24. Isurugi Noe (True Tears) lol!
Clannad was the best!
but, forgot why did i cry though. = w =;;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE38SKRT4ak
No Pikachu?
DID THEY NOT WATCH MEWTWO STRIKES BACK EVAR!?
Japan got hit with another big earthquake
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2244452/Terror-Japan-earthquake-sparks-tsunami-warning-buildings-shake-Tokyo.html
Where is Makoto Crying like a bitch when being stabbed by Sekai
I want to know why no one from ef is on here. Yuuko T.T
Shiki Ryougi anyone? You know Garden of Sinners? Though i guess those were tears of blood >.>
Yea, well every character in that show/series are so retarded, they all deserved to die so its not really tragic.
Right…so much more retarded than the overwhelming number of 1-dimensional moeblobs that seem to be eaten up.
And where is Sakagami Tomoyo ?
Exactly my thought. Or really anything in the series. Like it or hate, it is what it is.
I guess everyone was thinking of sad moments. Makoto crying was a joyous moment.
WHERE IS KAIJI?! KUYASHII! KUYASHIIII!
KAIJIIII-KUUUNNNNN!!!!!!!!! and not just kaiji, but what about all the dudes underground watching the match in season 2? TEARS OF GRATITUDE
EXACTLY
Indekkusu \o/
Kenshiro was way better choice than Tomoyo’s tears
Saikano, Shuuji tears for Akemi.
Thank you.
Glad to see Waver here, that part was really powerful because likely everyone watching was crying as well. Although I was surprised Saber in F/X in the final list isn’t here.
Fuck, the only good thing there is Spirited Away. Almost everything else is awful, and the other one or two are mediocre as fuck. Anime is in a bad state at the moment
Actually, I think Eva is the only thing on that list other than Spirited Away that doesn’t completely suck.
Also, note the complete lack of shoujos/joseis
The ending of the last arc (on the anime and not the epilogue) of Planetes… definitely the most bittersweet tearjerker that I’ve ever experienced on animes.
i forgot when azusa cried and it’s suppose to be unforgettable
Clannad so soapy. With all that soap, some of it is bound to get into your eyes, forcing you to shed a couple of tears.
Where is Sailor Moon and Hokuto no Ken?
Ok for some but where are Air, Ef (memories & Melodies), Kanon, Requiem for Phantom, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, Sola? BTW Clannad is the best tearjerker 😉
Ef: a Tale of Memories where??
I’m more concerned about no Hokuto no Ken.
When I think tears and anime, the first thing that comes to mind is the perfect manly tears shed by Alex Louis Armstrong.
my thoughts exactly
Muscle power.
no chobits? the fuck?
What about the episode of ICHIGO MASHIMARO/STRAWBERRY MARSHMALLOW with the sleepover wherein the usual troublemaker Miu Matsuoka is so upset that Nobue Ito, the “adult” of the group, is lavishing so much attention on Ana Coppola and Matsuri Sakuragi that her feelings actually do get hurt for the first time and she starts crying for real?
That was about the peak emotional scene from the entire series, and then you get to see Nobue sleep (only literally) with Miu with the payoff gag being that, in the morning, Miu is pillow “pregnant”.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. So awesome, even the Mecha cries.
Doesn’t even remember half of them.
Azmaria’s tears at the end of Crno Crusade… because I shared them.
Hmm does the main girl and her demon die or something?
Yeah, they do. In each other’s arms, if I recall.
yeah… Chrno Crusade still one of the saddest anime to exist. Sayonara Solitaire is just tear inducing.
The manga ending is notably very different.
2.5 Going Merry (One piece)
I REMEMBER THAT SCENE! WAHHHHHHHHHH~
USHIO! DAT STORY!
youtube.com/watch?v=kE38SKRT4ak
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE38SKRT4ak
awwww yeah~!
The show sucked and I’m glad the little girl died
Too bad someone didn’t finish it. Nobody died.
I’m actually surprised there was no mention of Angel Beats!, as I’d think that Japan wouldn’t soon forget about that ending and Otonashi being left alone like that.
Now that you mentioned it, I tried to see in the ranking from the japanese site, and I’m surprised that Angel Beats didn’t make in the ranking (50 characters listed) at all.
It’s not that it didn’t make the list it just flat out wasn’t in it.
My thoughts exactly.
My thoughts too
@23:37 I fit under that category, then i commented. and I stand behind that as well.
Even the thoughts of other non-commenting sancom readers
thanks for reminding me, *cries*
Was trying to look for AB on my first time reading it.
My thoughts also.
My thoughts as well.
that was my thought exactly
That would demand for Angel Beats! to have a fan base. It doesnt.
True Tears made a sancom list… colour me surprised!
I’m coloured surprise by the fact that you still think that sancom makes these lists when it’s copypasta from anime.biglobe every single time.
Right, Sancom compiles stories and lists from elsewhere on the web, that’s common knowledge.
Where did I say it was a Sancom original? The list is published on Sancom however, hence Sancom list. It’s surprising because the people who usually vote for these lists (yes, from whatever source) usually don’t take many hidden anime gems into account, which is what I consider True Tears to be. Fantastic anime.
The lists also show up on Crunchyroll.
you are fucking idiot. fucking idiot who got told and now he doesnt know what to do so he shits all around. so please fucking idiot, stop shitting, it stinks.
Looking for some Air here…
Didn’t seen any Kanon either, and that was an emotional roller coaster.
I need a gasp of fresh Air…
Well, you’re breathing Air right now. Lololol
But the world doesn’t have enough Air! We need more Air! This is why otaku constantly have a short-term memory: their brains are dieing because they can’t get enough Air in their lives. For this reason, we must petition Kadokawa Shoten, Media Factory, and other corporations to stop polluting our environment and provide us with more Air.
@Fenek Alfa
maybe so, but while this list may be an exception, short-term memory tends to be pretty rampant in most other cases. Also, truth be told, I was just echoing some common sentiments for the purpose of the joke; I don’t mind the moe boom near as much as a lot of people around here (besides which, Air would count as a form of moe media in itself). I do, however, think that a lot of newer shows are inferior to Air (but that’s a hard series to top anyway; hell, in my personal opinion, I even hold it above Key/KyoAni’s later works in Kanon and Clannad).
Sorry guys but *Dying. and yes i do agree with all of you and we should have more space on this list
You do realise that Clannad is 2007? It’s fucking prehistoric compared to what these moetards usually remember anyway.
It’s too late to reverse the damage that moe crap has done. Enjoy your polluted environment cause it’s here to stay since people like crap.
Why so much hate towards this anon??? Lol
I have no complaints.
K-on is on the list, therefore the list is shit.
I disagree in general, but it does apply to this list. K-on…really? There are so many better choices.
Because you opinion is what matters most, right?! Think again, ya little bitch.
Clannad is a girly anime. Men who watch this must be gay.
The Clannads beating everyone. i smile at this 🙂
WHERE IS AIR???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the Earth.
Needs more
Wolfwood [Trigun]
Nuriko [FY]
Shinsuke [Samurai Champloo -EP TITLE “A Risky Racket”
Riki and Iason Mink [Ai no kusabi]

No Naruto, come on. I know alot of people hate naruto but it still had it’s sad moments.
But nothing unforgettable!
Team 10 tears after Asuma death. Never forget!
Emma and William’s embrace from their first reunion together since the horrible separation? Where’s that?
Uncultured swine

This list fails for not including cross game.
