/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I realized that my cries on every Key is fucking forced and pretentious.

Fascinating, Isn't it?

My tear ducts exude only the right amount of solution to keep my eyes moisturized.

>>2323465

When I realized Idolm@aster was never getting a port to the US.

When I put in my contacts after applying suntan lotion. Shit hurt like hell.

I'm too lazy to watch the last five episodes of Clannad After Story, and I believe I'll cry like I have never cried before when I watch them.

crying is for pussies. The only type of crying I are battle cries. I let one out when I was born followed by fetal flexing.

I have no more emotions

...not after Hina died...

>>2323483
You cry over dolls? Faggot.

>>2323480
You were exercising by lifting unborn babies?

>>2323484

You only cried for 20 minutes? I never played Planetarian but I cried for about 5 hours after I finished Narcissu, until I fell asleep, then I had some random cries throughout the week everytime I thought about it ;____;

>>2323471
>>My tear ducts exude only the right amount of solution to keep my eyes moisturized.
IRL tough guy.

Kanon made me depressed for more than a week straight. I cried randomly the whole time.

When I learned what Maria's うーうー meant.

I haven't cried in 2 years.

This....;_;

>>2323457
What a coincidence, OP, I was about to open Planetarian. I'm ready to dehydrate myself again.;_;

>>2323493
Narcissu isn't even sad. Maybe depressing at most. Play Planetarian for real bawwing.

Yesterday. Reason was Wanko to Kurasou, once again. Sad and happy moments always get me.

>>2323533
I cried to that. It was for 6 seconds and only one tear came down, but it's still crying.

>>2323465
Indeed.

It is QUITE FASCINATING!

Almost as much as killing a clone of yourself is.

Or rather, the REAL you.

>>2323553
Go back to /rs/

>>2323495
Please tell me you know where I can get some translations for the original.

When I spend my birthday alone a couple weeks back. I tried calling up friends but they were busy.

>>2323565
Busy during your birthday?
YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS.

>>2323569

...that's why I was crying...;_;

you guys are pussies

>>2323574
It's okay man. Let's share an internet hug.

>>2323586
And you're a dick. Penetrate me, pretty please.

>>2323565
I remember when I had friends, and everyone would come to my house to play the SNES Bomberman games together. Sadly, without a multitap.
;_;

I'm past the point of crying, /jp/.

What does that mean?

>>2323597

You have moved to a state of existence where sadness is meaningless to you.

Been about 6 years since I last cried. Although when I first watched Kanon, I was depressed for like a week.

>>2323591
I don't penetrate faggots. Or anyone for that matter.

>>2323620
Play the VN, it's better. They butchered Shiori, Nayuki, and Mai's routes in the anime.

>>2323457
Haha what a faggot!

I only cried for 10 ;_;

>>2323457
I've never had tears stream down my face playing a VN, but they do get a little watery.

I'm no tough guy, I cry all the time because I shame my proud family with my subpar academic performance.
And because I touch myself at night.
;_;

I decided to marathon LoGH over spring break. Manly tears were shed.

>>2323721
I touch myself morning, afternoon, evening, and night.
What's wrong with just doing at night?

I keep track of the times I cry, since, when I do, it is a complete tearfest. Otherwise, I don't. This is the track for the past 5 years or so

-Metal Gear Solid 4: Nearly everything.
-Metal Gear Solid 3: The last hour or so.
-F/SN: The end of Saber's route
-Clannad: The end of Nagisa's Route
-Kanon: The end of Makoto's Route

An hour ago when I accidentally jabbed the stitches in my mouth with a salad fork.

Dental surgery rocks. ;_;

>>2323747
You a girl dude?

>>2323747

Oh fuck. I forgot I bawwwed playing MGS 3.

When I realize that I can't go beyond watching my 2D waifu.

I usually don't have much of a reason for crying. I just look at my monitor and think of all the things I'll never experience and then go to a double facepalm position and start crying.

I'm pretty emotionally fragile so I often have to ruthlessly choke back the tears (Ever17, YMK, Kanon, Clannad, GSS, MGS3, etc etc), but the only time in recent memory I've actually cried, really bawled my eyes out, was when I got the normal end of Kana: Little Sister. My manly resolve failed me that day.

>>2323497
Only movie to ever make me depressed for several days. Even now if I really think back on the ending and how it felt I still get a little sad, even though it's been several years. So I try not to.

When she smiled at me *tears of joy*

>>2323457
I don't even remember HOW to cry.

>>2323937
Go cut some onions.

>>2323493
Cool trolling, brah.
Now go back to your idolfag pighole thread before you get some spankings.

no media has ever cried.

Watched all of clannad and after story and no luck.. played kana imouto no luck.. ever17, saya no uta, watched kanon, etc.

Will I ever cry /jp/?

>>2323540
Ignore him. Just a regular idolfag trolling 2D threads.

>>2323926

i wanna know what love iss...i want you to showww meee..

>>2323949
"no media has ever cried"?

>>2323949
>no media has ever cried

I meant no media has ever made me cry. fuuuuck. ignore this.

>>2323949
Nah. I've never cried from those either. Clannad the first season was fine, a bit sad but not cry worthy. After Story was shit. Kana was boring and I don't even remember most of what happened, etc. The most I've done is choke up a bit but never actually cried. /jp/ just has too many effeminate guys.

>>2323949
You should have played Clannad and Kanon rather than watching the inferior anime adaptations.

When I watched Letters from Iwo Jima. It's probably 3 months ago.

Can't cry with stuff like Clannad. It feels too forced and piss me off instead.

I'd rather watch War in the Pocket again.

>>2323977
Oh yea, War in the Pocket almost had my cryin there.

Which reminds me, I've never been into Gundumb but War in the pocket looked interesting.

Watery eyes at MGS3 Ending and at some parts of Kotomi's route.
Bitch tears at Akiha's endings

Now I remember my first time crying watching something.
Gunbuster end when I was 13. First time watching subtitled anime too.

I wouldn't be there without this, fuck you Anno.

Why are /m/ stuff such tearjerkers? Looking at you Be Invoked and Victory Gundam.

Last time I watched the bump of chicken k animation

I cry all the time at nakige and I respect other fans who do, but I don't like thinking about it.

I just get this image of a grubby nerdy dude sniffing and hiccuping, sitting in his computer chair half naked with a dumb look on his face, tears rolling down his cheeks, and his glasses fogging up. It kind of ruins the experience. Of course, that's pretty much what I look like too, but that's not what I'm thinking about when I'm playing the game.

>playing the game

MGS3 had me a little misty

but what really got me was Welcome to the NHK. This one show didn't only make me baww at the story(which i did, it was an awesome story, the last episodes were very well done), but taught me that life is shit and that i'm doomed to toil away endlessly for the rest of my life just so i can continue living miserably and alone. there will never be a misaki for me or many others.

>>2324048
I have a Misaki IRL.

I haven't really played/read/watched anything recently but the last time I teared up was during Wanko to Kurasu a few months ago. The story was so forced and yet I couldn't help but shed some tears.

I haven't cried in about 10 years.

I really can't feel emotion nowadays.

>>2324048
I only have tears of anger for NHK.

>>2324048
have you read the manga and the novel?
they are even better than the anime..

Last time I cried? the blooming ending in Saya no Uta. It was more of a soft cry that lasted a few minutes, but that's the closest thing.

I cry way too easily these days. It seems like ever since I played Clannad even the smallest things make me tear up. Today I cried while watching an episode of Kaiba, the one about the old woman whose husband died falling off a lighthouse while trying to pick the flower that she liked. I also cried at the episode before that with the abused girl living with her aunt.

>>2324048
The NHK anime didn't make me cry, but I recently read the novel and I cried at the end because it made me think of how many people in our world get fucked over by the "NHK."

>>2324052
Hey same here. In fact she has seen the NHK anime and acts like her and shit like that.

I had a Misaki, she gave up, I can't blame her.

>>2324080
What!? You asshole, I was joking when I said I had a Misaki. Your Misaki better not be good looking.

ITT: Cryian VNs/Games/Animu

As for me: Some VNs and Animu do get me emotional, but I rarely go further than >>2323471

I finally got around to watching Kodomo no Jikan about a month ago. It's the Reiji flashback episode, 6 I think. I thought it was going to more pedo-riffic shit, and I'm sitting there and it just keeps getting harder to choke back the tears. I realize I've pretty much lived his fucking life, and the emotions I'd pretty much had repressed during that time came back all at once. By the end I'm crying like a little bitch for about 10 minutes straight.

Then i realized, I didn't have a loli in my life like he did, and cried for another 10 minutes.

>>2324102 As for me: Some VNs and Animu do get me emotional, but I rarely go further than >>2323471
As pathetic /jp/ is, I don't think most of us cry bitch tears anyway.

>>2324086
Well, she is.

>>2323457
i never cried to any anime honestly.
last time i cried was because i thought my life was fail
IRL mutafuckers, only faggots cry to anime

>>2324113

DAMN YOU

>>2324118 only faggots cry to anime
>last time i cried was because i thought my life was fail
Oh you.

>>2324118
I cry to animes, but my real life is made of win, thanks.
Only faggots fail at life

>>2324122
It doesn't matter, I'm leaving my country next month anyway, so the project will have to end. This is what makes me cry ;_;

>>2324118
Anime is my life faggot.

>>2324122

Kana ~Imouto~. Not sure how it measures up to the classics, but it's the only time I've cried to any entertaining media.

>>2323751

No, but I do get emotionally attached to characters that I like in games and VNs. My personal belief is that, when a character reaches a certain level of development, he/she basically transcends being a fictional character in my mind, and instead springs forth as someone I can identify with, becoming more of a person than you would think.

Of course, this is all a personal thing, and I can't speak for everyone. However, when games like MGS3/4 come out, and routes like Saber's and Makoto's end, you can't help but shed a few tears.

Higurashi's end was so awesome I shed at least one manly tear.

I'm a sentimental fag and when anime gets to the sad part (and they all do) I'm a mess. Doesn't matter to me what anyone thinks of that, just sharing.

Last couple BAWWWs was the episode of Lucky Star detailing Konata's backstory about her mom.

Shit. I'm misting up typing about it.

I guess I'd rather be able to ride the emotional highs and lows in the storytelling than be a stoic macho type who bottles everything up inside eating away at his soul like a cancer until he dies.

Long live the sniffling faggots, at least we have hearts.

>>2325454

My thoughts exactly, man. I'd rather let myself get attached to a character than just ignore any feelings I have about him/her. Riding the emotional rollercoaster just makes the experience more pleasurable.

I cried about 30 times in CLANNAD, 20 times in Kanon, 10 times in Little Busters, and just felt sad in Planetarian.

Air. I didn't get it. I still hold the belief that Air is a vn about nothing.

This /a/non cried last while watching Azumanga Daioh. The scene that was the worst for me was where they all walked home together. Sakaki sort of drifted off, seeing them walking among the clouds. It just seemed like a perfect little moment, just then, never to be repeated and special only to the people who shared it. Bwaaah.

>>2325747
So, in other words, you're tsundere for Key?

>>2325747
2nd'd. I couldn't even watch Air the anime. It was just too boring and formulaic. Five minutes into the very first scene you already know what is going to happen.

Now Kanon, in comparison? The 2006 edition was pure brilliance. (It was also the first Kanon anime adaptation that I saw.) It worked. It worked very well. And I did not see the ending coming at all.

It's >>2323747 again. I forgot one huge example. Genshiken. The last few chapters were just harsh, with everyone moving on in their lives, drifting away from each other, and so on... It was sad.

Cried like a girl on Planetarian, but only slightly damp eyes on Kotomi's route in Clannad and nothing else.

Didn't cry on Kanon because I'd already watched the anime (which also didn't make me cry, but it convinced me to quit SSRIs because it should have done).

I cried in my dream today.

>>2325775
I rage every time I see someone talk about a Key VN's anime. The VN is 100x better in every case, especially Clannad, but including Air and Kanon. Why did Shiori's route suck so much in the anime? KyoAni did Makoto's route perfectly, and Ayu's is pretty good too, but the rest of them lost something in transit.

>>2325775
Kanon 2006 anime > Kanon VN

Kanon VN has only bad endings, because for every route you chose all the girls you didn't chose are still suffering. Combining the routes is best.

The same is technically true of Clannad, but in Clannad the only girl you have a duty to help is Kotomi, and that's the best route anyway.

>>2323533
Their first happy trip to the countryside was much more bwaaah worthy; this scrap-heap of a loser, who had just being going through the motions of existence for five years was pulled out of his funk and became a human being that time. It was bwaaah worthy.

The snow scene bothered me. Yes, poor little Ushio, but Papa shouldn't have lied to her. It made me rage to think that Papa would lie to little Ushio as she died. It was wrong. Plain wrong.

At least little Ushio knew her time was up and forced her dad to get her out of the house one more time. Having him lie to her that they'd travel again once she was better was cruel and unfair to the little girl.

Pic not related.

I cried like a baby for some reason with the Royal Tennebaums. Don't know why, just broke down in a fit of giggles and tears.

>>2325788
Better in the anime:
Ayu and Makoto

Better in the VN:
Shiori and Mai

Ayu is the main character, so the anime version is better, even if you ignore the anime's better ending.

>>2325800
Of course you cried in the Royal Tennenbaums. It's because your life turned out like mine, Anon. You thought you were the Next Hot Thing and it turned out that you were only destined for the scrapheap of humanity instead.

The last time I cried was a couple of days ago and it was /kr/-related. I was rewatching the last battle scene in Taegukgi where the two brothers reunite. Nothing new though since that happens to me every time I watch it.

I cried like a little girl when I finished up reading Chrno Crusade.

The last time I cried? Well off the top of my head I cried yesterday when I decided to replay old VNs to pass spring break. After finishing Planetarian, Narcissu, Saya no Uta all in 1 day I was just depressed and sobbing for a while after that.

>>2325847
That's like half a Clannad after story worth of crying there.

I didn't cry during F/SN (most recent work I finished), although the scene that involved stabbing Saber in the heart made me come pretty close.

Last time I cried to a work of fiction. . .Kanon (2006 TV), end of the Makoto arc.

>>2325454
>I guess I'd rather be able to ride the emotional highs and lows in the storytelling than be a stoic macho type who bottles everything up inside eating away at his soul like a cancer until he dies.

Exactly. Why even indulge in fiction if you're going to suppress (or simply not experience) any enjoyment of it?

>>2323457
Akiha's normal ending, i cried for about 10 minutes

Last time I remember all-out crying was when I played Kana. Although I came close a few times when I recently sat down and played dodonpachi until I could 1cc the first loop. I died on the last boss with bombs in stock

When my Hamster died.
I really cared about her. ;_;

around a year ago.

I haven't come close to crying to a VN yet.

Closest I ever came to crying was when I started welling up in Initial D Second Stage when the 86's engine blew ;_;

I can't really truly break down and cry at these things, but if tearing up and getting all choked up and feeling sad counts, goddamn, clannad.

Hm, come to think of it I haven't answered OP's question yet.

The last time I cried was... Persona 4's ending. I cry easily.

Nothing is really sad.
Most I got in about a decade was a single tear.

>>2325356
This.

What makes me really sad though is when the feelings for that certain character start to die.

5 Centimeters Per Second made me feel bad about my way of life. Brought watery eyes, too.

After killing Alter Saber.

Ilya's death was a close call though.

I recently rewatched Gunbuster and Diebuster. The endings of both always make cry like a girl.

On a similar note, I always tend to at least feel sad, if not tear up whenever I finish a VN/anime/novel. Even if it's not intended to be sad I get attached to characters, and after running out of material I tend to feel depressed for the rest of the day, and I have a hard time doing anything.

MGS4

;_;

>>2326494
I guess I'm not the only one.

>>2326494
Same here.
When you run out of material, it might as well be the death of the characters. Or thats how i look at it. It might just be my warped idea, but when you reach the end, it really is the end. You get to know the characters and bond with them. You might get to know them even better than anybody you know in real life. And when you cant see them anymore, it might as well mean the death of them. Re-watching/reading might as well be the same as looking at old pictures or videos of a dead person.

>>2323943
But onions don't really make people cry, although yawning does make me teary eyed.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1762796
I can't even manage to make it through the song without tearing up.

>>2326559
It's interesting to know that there are others who feel the same way.

I have a very difficult time reaching the end of any series/game etc. Sometimes I don't finish it at all, just so the characters can stay alive and so that there is no end to our relationship.

I always know that at the end of one series, it will be that much harder to find something the same next time.

>>2326560
>But onions don't really make people cry
Yes they do. I've definitely cried while cutting onions.

>>2326560
What? Maybe your onions are shitty. Fresh onions will really make your eyes water

>>2326527
>>2326559
Glad I'm not the only one then.
>>2326590
>Sometimes I don't finish it at all, just so the characters can stay alive and so that there is no end to our relationship.
I've done this for a few series, most notably Aria.

Sidetracking slightly here, but I generally prefer to marathon my anime, or finish my VNs in as few sittings as possible. Interrupting the flow tends to kill the emotion for me. Take for example, Eureka 7. I watched all 50 episodes in one day without break and I was sobbing by the end of it. If I had spaced it out and watched while it was airing, I doubt I would have had nearly the same reaction. Anyone else have similar feelings?

>>2326627
Yes and no.
You don't have to set your emotions on hold if you watch it as fast as possible, which might work the best in some cases.
But i have the opposite opinion. I remember back a couple of years ago, in a time where the only download program i knew was Edonkey/Overnet, which i mainly used to download anime with. The incredibly shitty program coupled with a lousy connection meant that when i downloaded something, it could take month's.
When i downloaded Berserk, i did it over maybe2-3 month's, and the ending had the most devastating effect on me, much worse than anything i have ever tried up until now. I might get sad, cry or whatnot when i watch something sad, but I've never been that depressed because of an anime before.
What I meant to say was that the longer time you stretch it over, the longer it feels that you've known the characters thus giving it a stronger impact when something happens.

Sorry if I'm ranting too much.

>>2326627
With Eureka 7 I watched quite a few of the episodes back to back, but as I came closer to the end I spaced them out more and more, again, not wanting it to end.

I'm glad the movie is coming out soon.

I usually get all misty eyed during the sad parts and endings of jRPGs and VNs. I rarely cry though; my emotions aren't that out of whack.

The last time was probably when I watched Simoun in 2006/2007. Some of the best anime moments/deaths of the decade right there.

>>2326746
What? Why would crying mean your emotions are out of whack? Sure, you could hold back the tears but it feels good to let it out, I try to "feel" as much as I can when watching/reading something.

ITT queers
I never cried ever since I'm 10 bitches

>>2323457
Last night. I cry myself to sleep everyday. Also on my birthdays, where everyone knows it was the day I was born, but no one cares. Also on Christmas.

>>2326559
Oh my god, I thought that I'm the only one who feels like that.


;_;

I cry a lot..

>>2326696
I can definitely understand that logic. I guess it just sort of depends on the particular story, and your mood.
>>2326733
I certainly didn't want it to end, but at the same time I was immensely curious as to where it would go. Conflicting emotions, fuck!

>I'm glad the movie is coming out soon.
Yes, very excited about that. And Blu-ray release as well.

I hold it in.

>>2326756

Oh, of course there is nothing wrong with showing emotion. I was mostly referring to the posts like "I couldn't stop crying for hours", "I cried 100 times", and the OP has 20 minutes in his post. That's usually a sign that something's up.

Not like it's a big deal, as this is /jp/ afterall. We're not exactly emotionally well-adjusted and sane people here.

>>2326798
maybe this will make you cry more you pathetic bed wetter

http://archive.easymodo.net/cgi-board.pl/jp/thread/S2296755#p2297169

>>2326746
>Simoun

Never, has a anime made me rage so much.

>>2326832
You, Sir, just made my day.
Tripfags are pathetic.

>>2326820
Crying for 20 minutes as a reaction to something in particular does seem a bit much. Crying on-and-off for 20 minutes while playing something doesn't seem so unreasonable. Though this coming from someone who cries nearly every time they watch "Locked Girl".

I cried at Clannad after story anime a bit but it felt pretty forced.

I don't know anymore, I liked Kotomi (or perhaps Fuuko) in Clannad the most yet fapped whenever she had mental issues.

I probably built up some pretentious empathy to that worthless Tomoya, I hate that guy.

I do appreciate that kind of thing once in a while though, since I rarely feel that way at all.

ALL DRAMA IS FORCED YOU DUMBASS FAGALOIDS

"FORCED DRAMA" IS A REDUNDANT TERM

God you people are dumb as bricks.

Maybe it's just me but I preferred the original Kanon anime to the 2006 version. Some parts of the 2006 one just felt way to drawn out, like Makoto's arc for example.

Also, people on /jp/ are pretty depressing.

>>2327174
But... Toei Kanon had terrible animation and storytelling. While I agree that Kanon 06 had pacing concerns, the Toei one was still inferior, imho. For one, it didn't work at all as a standalone.

>>2327194
I dunno. I thought it worked better as a 12 episode (or was it 13?) series than the 24-26 one the 2006 is.

>>2327203
They hardly had time to even touch on most arcs though...?

not once, in fact the irony is I'm sad I can't get into it like you guys can.

>>2327221
Yea but the ones they did do, in the 2006 one, were way too long. I don't need to watch like 5 episodes of Makoto 'dying' it just gets old quick. I had the same problem with Clannad After story, I could only make it halfway through before I just got tired of it.

I am a machine. When I revealed that I don't cry over works of fiction, I was accused of being a machine.

>>2327174
Reading that makes me want to watch the original adaption. But reading the VN minus Makoto's route makes more sense, even though this has a pretty low priority to me right now and I am busy with doing shit I hate to do. ;_;

>>2327231
I don't think all of them were too long. I definitely agree about Makoto, but iirc the Misaka sisters got pretty shafted in the Toei version. Mai's arc wasn't handled particularly well either, imho, it was far too brief to even really make sense of.
Also, both types of 'Akiko Jam' were missing entirely.
And you must at least admit that the animation was pretty atrocious in the Toei version...

While I definitely don't think 06 was a masterpiece or anything, when I think of which one is better I'm definitely going to pick 06.

>>2327282
While the animation was definitely worse, it was an older show. And I didn't actually like any of the other characters aside from Ayu.

Tomoyo After. Sobbed and cried for around.

>>2327158

That would excuse a difference in style, not quality; there were plenty of good-looking things produced in 2002.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Anime_of_2002

>And I didn't actually like any of the other characters aside from Ayu.
I see.

I was more trying to draw out some kind of agreement that 06 is a better piece overall, since you'd already stated your personal preference. I don' t mind giving up though.

>>2327348
While I love LB!, it only made me cry once (Saya ;_;. Clannad is a lot more tragic and had me crying a bunch of times.

ALL DRAMA IS FORCED DRAMA
HOW CAN YOU HAVE UNFORCED DRAMA,

>>2327358
The only reason I didn't cry at CLANNAD was becuase /jp/ spoilered me
Because I hadn't been on 4chan when air was AIRing I was able to cry because I had no idea of what was going to happen.
I also cried when Ash turned to stone in Pokemon the first movie

>>2327378
>I also cried when Ash turned to stone in Pokemon the first movie
Who didn't? ;_;

>>2327382
me
i'm sorry

>>2327378
I still cry even if I know what's going to happen. When I watched Clannad after reading the VN, I actually cried more than I did reading the VN. And I'll probably cry every time I rewatch it. It's still incredibly touching.

>>2327390

>>2327378
I had Clannad spoiled for me before I even started playing it but it still made me cry more than anything ever has.
