Isara's death in the Valkyria Chronicles game/anime. Cheerfull, smart, brave, softly spoken, stalwart in the face of racism (she was a member of the race large chunks of her world hate), the most endearing member of the cast by far. Just about to reconcile with the most most prejudiced person on the team - then bam, enemy sniper out of nowhere. ;_;

Probably should have seen it coming, but still... damn, man. ;_;

The "Theme of Love" from Mother 3 is the only thing that has ever made me cry out of sadness (in comparison to making me cry out of rage, frustration, or laughter— which is far easier, especially making me cry out of laughter).

I'm putting it up so I don't have to cry by myself. Enjoy, you apes.

Saluting on the grave of the unknown patriot.

Fuck, thanks.

Also, pulling the trigger has to be one of the hardest moments ever in a videogame.

Well I'll list the moments that have inspired Manly Tears from me:

1. The ending of Armageddon
2. The end of Braveheart
3. The part in Return of the King (movie, haven't read the books) where Sam says "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry YOU!" That scene alone is why I say Samwise Gamgee is undeniably badass.\\ 4. Last scene in Saving Private Ryan.

Might be more, but those are the big ones that I remember.

Yeah I haven't seen Toy Story 3 yet for that reason; I've heard it's a real tearjerker for anyone who grew up watching the first two movies.

The last episode of Dawson's Creek... Why'd she have to die! And she just started slowly crying, not even for herself... Damnit, I'm crying just thinking about it.

Also, I always have cried at The Giving Tree.

Another Tear Jerker in Thud is when Sam reads to Young Sam, despite being miles away, underground and fighting for control of his own body. And Young Sam hears him.

The 13th episode of Witchblade, when the woman from Child Welfare presents Masane with the paperwork regarding her daughter's biological mother, thus taking a crowbar to an otherwise functional family.

Many, many things, but the two that stand out the most in terms of not just misting up but absolutely bawling are Fry's dog (and the ending to Luck of the Fryish, though more tears of heartwarming), and the ending to AI.

Inthe last couple of years a lot of things have made me cry not necessarily cause they're sad, but they just make me emotional in one way or another. Like the ending to Annie Hall- it's not a tragic love story by any means (they meet for lunch a year after the breakup and part on good terms), and because of that it makes me cry more than any tragic romance could ever hope to cause it's a kind of pain I've been through and know of quite vividly and just has a way of resonating.

I didn't find Jurassic Bark to be moving at all. Luck of the Fryish, yeah it was a bummer.

Now, the TV show episode that gets me the most is the Will's Dad episode of Fresh Prince, because Will's whole rant is pretty much verbatim what I've thought in regards to my dad. That episode hits home like a motherfucker.
