Yar I have cried before and while I'm not necessarily the type to cry easily if a scene is very emotional I am likely to cry. I remember after watching fate/stay night, it was just a horrible horrible feeling. I just sat there in shock for a few minutes, went and laid down on my bed wanting to cry but unable to and slept for around 12 hours.
Next day sucked big time, just kept going back to it and rethinking through everything. Another one that really got me crying was the Code Geass r2, won't go into detail but man..... I'm pretty sure I cried a little when it came to toradora! As well.
I am a sad sad sucker for romance/drama animes. The problem is it draws me in too much and I get affected by it. This is part of what makes anime what it is though.
You can experience so many more emotions through it than you could a regular tv show. Its just incredible.
In naruto in the kakashi gaiden episodes there was the scene where Obito was going to die. It made me cry a little bit. On the inside I was sobbing though.
Such a sad story. It's pretty hard for me to cry over an anime.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
