Anime that Made You Cry?

Has there ever been an anime (or manga) that made you cry? I'm talking more out of sadness than happiness or laughter, but you could mention those too if you want.

I've been going through a particularly rough period in my life. I've tried to be rather stoic, trying to keep things together for fear of everything breaking. For the most part, I've succeeded.

But...well, I mentioned previously, I'm a fan of the anime Clannad. Right now Clannad ~After Story~ is airing in Japan (one episode left). One episode of it, episode 18 I think it was, left a mark on me. I won't delve into the story too much in case any of y'all want to follow the series, but the main character and his daughter go on a trip. There, Tomoya, the main lead, runs into his grandmother and comes to terms with the many issues he had with his father (he has had a rough life, to say the least).

I had to pause the episode as this happened, and cried.

Maybe it just helped me to get it out. I don't know.

Has anything like this happened for you?
