Anime, taken too seriously?

I see no problem in identifiing with a given situation in Amine or real life!

Be glad you still have an open heart 8) too many people today are way too shallow!

You're simply hiding you're emotions.

Let's see, a scene or two from Trigun, also one or two from Cowboy Bebop, and simply getting the gist of the GotF movie through two AMV's made me get watery eyed.

Like someone above posted, it's not taking it too seriously, rather than being moved my some emotional moments. I don't know Battle Athletes, but I shared tears while watching the last episodes of Now & Then, Here & There. There's actually one tragic scene where a little girl shoots a little boy, and then the girl gets shot, and there's no music, no nothing, just very slow motion the scene of the (approx. 7 year old) girl falling to her death.

That really moved me.

An anime or am I just weird.

This is important to me to know, I am being serious here

Since I've been infected with Anime, I can not remember ever feeling anything after watching a "live-action" film or tv show. When Anime makes you feel good or you find yourself rewatching series over and over again, you know there is something special there. The most recent shows I finished rewatching that made me cry and simply touched my heart were AZUMANGA DAIOH and HAIBANE RENMEI.

Looking at my collection, there are also others which are just wonderful to experience from beginning to end - Battle Athletes, El-Hazard, Magic Knight Rayearth, Slayers, Silent Mobius, Trigun, Outlaw Star, etc.
And then there are simply characters who, like old friends, you just want to visit again - such as the Dirty Pair and the Knight Sabers (Bubblegum Crisis).

It's all so nostalgic & exciting. You are not alone.

Trigun + Grave of the Fireflies = Sappy Pie

And even though it's not anime, The Green Mile made me fuckin' BALL

I don't consider myself much of a sentimental person, but a few eps of Fushigi Yugi actually choked me up. They spend 50+ episodes building up these charas, you get used to them and then they get killed off.

Word. I didnt cry or anything, but I felt altered in some strange, fundamental way that I have yet to explain. Maybe it was just the combination of shocking and mentally draining imagery combined with having only eaten a bag of jelly beans that day, but it almost felt spiritual. O_o The end of Cowboy Bebop really got to me, but again I didn't cry. Came close tho. I think I would have if they had played "The Real Folk Blues" at the end.
