History TearJerker / Air

* ''VisualNovel/{{Air}}''. Just ''VisualNovel/{{Air}}''. Especially the "Goal" part, which gets many people every time. Even just showing the ''video'' of that scene in an [[AnimatedMusicVideo AMV]] has managed to make them cry. The scene is even more depressing now, when you consider what happened to Misuzu's [[TomokoKawakami voice actress]] [[HarsherInHindsight a few years later]].

** The death of TomokoKawakami is a Tear Jerker in its own right, especially when you watch the scene.

* Misuzu's breakdown when she tries playing cards with Yukito.

** This troper saw an AMV of the last few episodes set to Alice in Chains' "Nutshell". Dear God... that was the saddest thing I have seen...
* This troper had a similar reaction to [[spoiler:Kanna's death]].

* The montage at the end was probably the only time in his life [[{{Filby}} this editor]] has been or will be reduced to tears by a picture of a [[spoiler:tyrannosaurus]].

** TomokoKawakami's death is a tear jerker all its own.

** The song "Aozora", cued at the highlight of the "Goal" scene, heightens the effect even more, especially with Lia's mournful vocals. Man, they sure unleashed the sadness of the moment in full force, no punches pulled.

** As if that weren't enough, the penultimate episode had the scene on the beach where [[spoiler: Misuzu, about to be taken away from Haruko by her father, cries out for her Mama and runs back to her newly-acknowledged mother.]] The shift to complete silence instead of screams and tears in the audio only intensified the effect.

** With the death of Misuzu's voice actress in japan, TomokoKawakami, The goal scene becomes [[BeyondTheImpossible EVEN more heartrending]]. And spreckled with a bit of HarsherInHindsight.

** The song "Aozora", cued at the highlight of the "Goal" scene, heightens the effect even more, especially with Lia's mournful vocals. Man, they sure unleashed the sadness of the moment in full force, no punches pulled.

The two scenes from the last episodes are now even more depressing, especially when you consider what happened to Misuzu's [[TomokoKawakami voice actress]] a few years later.
