Rogue 7: I tend to be fairly hard-hearted when it comes to actually tearing up at sad scenes, but Fuko's arc in Clannad really got to me. That everyone forgets her...and still makes it to the wedding...*sobs*


MikoGalatea: Since this page has gotten so big and unwieldy, do you guys think it would be a good idea to give some series their own tearjerker pages, like what's been done with a few fandoms for Fetish Fuel and Nightmare Fuel? I think Gundam and Code Geass, for example, have enough moments listed here to warrant their own pages.

DomaDoma: A quick Ctrl-F yields seven mentions of episode 25, plus at least three on this page not listed by episode number (in fairly big-name shows, though IMO the Gurren Lagann one is eclipsed by all the CMOA present). Do the Japanese have some kind of thing about the number 25, or what?

Gloating Swine: Not as far as I know, but it's frequently the last episode of a season, so a good time for a big cliffhangery punch.

Charred Knight: I would have preffered Folders instead of creating new pages, but if we have enough anime than sure why not. As for the number 25 with Code Geass, both seasons had 25 episodes, and with Gurren Lagann the entire last 4 episodes where incredibly sad, and incredibly well done.

Also Fullmetal Alchemist should probably get its own page, and to have the examples separated, with the manga, we literally just threw in about 15-20 different scenes into one big pile of spoiler text.

Also anime with their own page should be linked from the anime page so we don't have people wondering what happened to all the tear jerkers from Gundam.


Dentaku: I know a well-executed tearjerker can be very impressive, but I think a lot of descriptions are too detailed. I think it would be better just to mention a scene and then let the viewers decide for themselves.
