And if you tell people that haven't seen it, they think you're lame.
Then, should you ever get them to watch it, most of them do the same damn thing :snigger:
I sure as hell know my eyes were damp.
Kamina's death... I feel like I should've cried, but I was in shock. I didn't see it coming, so the shock really numbed me until I'd watched a ways further, and by then things had gotten better.

For me, it was actually the next to the last episode of Kanon the second series:
"I want my beloved to be happy"
That, and the Goal scene in Air.
Clannad's Episode 14 where Kotomi learns the truth about her parent's final wish...
Actually, all of Key's works are real tearjerkers, I highly recommend them all.
There are other anime that I like though I guess others will not agree, like:
Gundam Seed Destiny: "I'm sorry, Gil... but he wishes for a future."
"I finally have a past..."
that was the only reason I liked that series really...
or
Full Metal Alchemist: the funeral of Maes Hughes, and his daughter is there wondering why her father is being buried, not understanding what it means.

I'm *really* surprised that no one's mentioned Graveyard of the Fireflies, by the same Studio Ghibli that did Spirited Away, Totoro, Porco Rosso, and Princess Mononoke.
The whole movie is about two children slowly starving to death in the midst of WWII, so...
It really is a movie you'll only watch once -- and not because it's bad, but because it's that good.

Film critic Roger Ebert gave this film a high reiview, stating it was probably one of the most powerful war films ever made. There is a live action film as well, but it has additional characters and POV and not as gut-wrenching as the anime film.

Yeah, the finale of the first series of El-Hazard OVAs. I watched the whole run in one go, and was so distracted by the shiny that I actually got flat-footed by Ifurita sacrificing herself ... then it was all blank disbelief and me going 'wtf, you can't end it like this!' before the sun rose. Great finish.
Bubblegum Crisis 2032, up to and including Moonlight Rambler. In Red Eyes the series tone shifted since the studio started listening to the fans (which was a bad decision as far as I'm concerned) but before that, pretty much every episode ... well, you know. It's why I see BGC as a tribute to continuing on in the face of overwhelming odds, adversity, and outright _failure_. Something the 2040 iteration didn't seem to be able to grasp at all. If it's not sad as hell, you're not watching it right.
Mai-HIME, after the plot-hammer of doom was introduced after the mid-season. Haruka going all sparkly, and the outcome of the Shizuru vs Natsuki fight, specifically.

You sir don't know me very well. Angst is my crack.

On Topic.
Beck: Last episode when the group reminisces about their American tour. And the Grateful Sound Fes, in the manga.. :blue: So sad its gone..
Initial D Extra stage, when Mako leaves after Iketani doesn't show up. Idiot...

For me Sakurano remains as the saddest series ever, even more than Eva. Everyone dies, it made me contemplate mass murder...
Also this manga, Forgot the name, Where this girl is always almost raped in very chapter so when the inevitable happens i was kinda immune to it. Not lying she always almost gets raped
