   I seem to cry easily at works of fiction. Most of the anime series (the movies not so much) based on Key games (Kanon, Air, Clannad) have caused me to shed tears towards the end, as has Fruits Basket and even (egads) Sailor Moon. The final chapters of the Love Hina manga I had difficulty reading due to the watery film constantly blurring my vision - though those might have been tears of despair, since I read them two hours before my A2 level maths exams which I had yet to start revising for. Still, I was pretty sad it was over, as it had been the first manga I'd read, and both it and its animation had been a good companion for three years.
   I can't remember any text-only book stimulating my lachrymal glands this way, though I am fairly sure there must have been some. Nor do I think I've cried at a piece of music on its own, though I get plenty of goosebumps hearing LIA sing Aozora (青空) from the AIR soundtrack, and get moved pretty damn close to tears remembering the associated scene. A-no-u-mi-,do-ko-ma-de-mo- ;____; ...
   The only Western TV series I remember crying at was ER - does the name Lucy Knight ring a bell for anyone? I don't remember watching any tear-inducing Hollywood movies, though again I'm fairly certain there must have been some. Many have recommended Requiem for a Dream to trigger bouts of clinical depression lasting a few days, but I have yet to watch it.

   Nice tags. :p

   As for the question, I'd rather not think about it...

   Requiem for a Dream is definitely a sad one.

   Kanon, Clannad, Voices of a Distant Star, and 5 cm/s have caused me to shed man tears.

   In the game Tsukihime I cry with the final part of the history of ciel.
   It was very emotional T.T

   Chobits.. last or second last episode (can't remember) was so sad. Didn't feel a single thing rematching it though..
   Kimi ga Nozomu Eien nearly brought a tear to my eye.. such a sad story.

   Oh and my tears were flowing royally while watching Detroit Metal City, that had another cause though..

   There are many animes/manga that have made me cry. There are times where it's as if I can experience what the characters are feeling. Some much more than others.

   I think I cried every episode of Twin Spica. 5 Centimeters Per Second, Eureka SeveN, Honey and Clover I & II, Bokura ga Ita, NANA, Dennou Coil, Gakuen Manabi Straight, Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora, Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu, Natsume Yuujinchou, Nodame Cantabile, Now and Then, Here and There, One Piece and various other animes. Key animes, I cried most during Fuuko's arc than any other arc in Clannad. I can't name any manga right now, because I haven't read much recently, but Ai-Ren was very touching.

   I tear up listening to songs such as One More Time, One More Chance.

   It doesn't necessarily have to be an entire show, just a touching scene would do it. Whether it be happy or sad, it affects me.

   I cried at the end of the first few eps with them all in high school, when the song Rumbling Hearts first plays. Still haven't seen past ep 3 or 4, though it's definitely on my list.

   Kanon 2006 and Clannad. Ironically, the characters I liked the least in both were the ones who's arcs got to me (Matoko and Fuuko).

   Came close near the end of Elfen Lied. Whenever Lillium plays on my MP3 player it's like a small emotional sucker punch lol.

   Strangely enough, I didn't become that emotionally attached to Air :P
   It was a good enough series, but I can honestly say I didn't bawwwww.

    Oh I forgot to add, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, episode 7 (8?). If you did not cry manly tears, you are inhuman.

    Drove me physically to tears (not bawling... just tears building up and trickling down my cheek) ---

    Air (anime)... of course... "Goal!......." *rings in Aozora*

    Hanbun no tsuki ga noboru sora... the story itself is so sad... the bittersweet ending of it doesn't help either...

    Byousoku 5 centimetre... self-explanatory too...

    1 Litre of Tears (一リトルの涙)... based on a true story... one of the only dramas I've ever seen but had its effects on me

    Clannad (anime)... Fuuko's arc... so sad T.T... and of course, Kotomi's arc's ending... "Dakara... dakara ne... otousan... okaasan... okaerinasai..."

    Gave me a very very uneasy feeling in my heart and possibly some tears build-up w/o spillage ---

    Rozen Maiden (anime)... Hinaichigo T.T... and also Souseiseki, though not as much...

    Chobits (anime & manga)... close to the end.. you know what happened

    Elfen Lied (anime)... when Kurama dies with his daughter in his arms and the life he had hoped they would have had flashes through his mind

    Iriya no sora, UFO no natsu... when Iriya willingly sacrifices herself to save the one she loves...

    Kannazuki no Miko... when Himeko finally finds out what Chikane was really doing... I guess the ending (after the ED of the final episode) was supposed to be the happy ending?... hopefully

    Chokotto Sister (anime)... just a little, when Haruma finds out that he actually had a sister by looking at the picture diary that she kept

    Negima (the first anime)... kinda sad when Asuna died and Negi went all insane and stuff

    ...
    ...
    ...

    All that I can think of right now...

    If we're talking about manly tears, then the two most recent anime that come to mind are

    -the last episode of Seto no Hanayome when Nagasumi turns GAR and beats the shit out of the big bad

    -Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann for the pure GAR of Kamina and Simon

    Back when I watched Fullmetal Alchemist I remember a few scenes that were making the tears well up.

    Recent excellent PS3 game Valkyria Chronicles had a few touching scenes which depicted the emotional side of war...

    Finishing Ocarina of Time back on the old N64 had such a sweet ending, I still remember Koji Kondo's masterpiece as the credits music began playing...such a legendary game.

    Welcome to the NHK was also something that made me cry, I didn't see the funny side of the suicide offline meeting in manga volume 2.

    The only two anime that ever made my cry were Air and the second version of Kanon. I still get goosebumps when I hear Air's opening..
