Here you can recommend a anime that you think is emotional.
No spoilers!
just state what impact it had you on!
but you can state that it has a tragic moment in it, but keep it like that.

Air,Kanon,Clannad are from the same producer and all them are very emotional tragic animes.

Chrno crusade- all i can say, is i was thinking about dropping it, and i forced myslef to watch it because i was halfway though it, the second half of the anime is emotional, really emotional, the end has one of the best scenes i ever seen (sad) but nice at the same time.

I just like to say that it is not wise to watch them one after the other, because you may feel really really depressed lol.

Fullmetal alchemist and Gungrave.

FMA is a very mature series and can make you go through every emotion in one episode(which it does..multiple times). Absolutely great series.

Gungrave deals with a lot of betrayal and instills a great sense of family and friendship. Overall the feel of the entire show is dark and depressing. If your going to watch it, just know that the first episode actually takes place around 3/4 of the way through the series.
Also first half of the series is a lot better in my opinion.

You can never hate KyoAni's work of art..
Clannad S1 and S2, Kanon 2006, AIR were all what I would like to call "My Top Legendary Animes"

But I think that Clannad After Story would be the MOST tear-jerking anime ever!
I've never heard of a person that watched it and didn't sniff for a bit..

I recommend
- Elfen Lied
- Ef ~A Tale of Memories~
- Ef ~A Tale of Melodies~
- Ga-rei Zero

These are like the other animes that I found to be really sad :/

I'll support the call for the inclusion of NANA and Ga-rei Zero.

Kemono no Souja Erin made me cry (unexpectedly) at the end.

I question the inclusion of "Clannad" (not Clannad After Story, obviously) and Kimi ni Todoke.

I don't really think there is any question without a doubt regarding the first season of Clannad :)
The most emotional scene that I saw in the first season was Fuko's arc and the end of Nagisa's arc..

its still an ongoing anime and its fuck off long, lol.

but i watched about 150 eps alrady and i do not think its emotional.
but i may be wrong.

we need to wait i think till it stop airing or there is an constant emotional feeling left after watchng one peiece, like looking back and being sad and getting over a death for example.

I have been watching a series called Natsume Yuujinchou that has been keeping me on the edge of my chair. At first I thought it was going to be all about a guy going around returning names to these youkai but instead the episodes are turning into real emotional rollercoasters because he encounters various youkai and each has their own bit of tragedy about them. the last few episodes have really touched be as there is already a level of gentleness about the series and its made even more so by these stories that are woven into it. Artwork is sot and beautiful and the music is wonderful. The series is thoroughly recommendable and well worth adding to the list IMHO
May the Uguu be with you.

I totally agree, the first season might not be as good or emotional as the second, but it was still pretty emotional (like you said; the Fuko and Nagisa arc, and also the Kotomi arc IMO).

Also true, the soundtrack is wonderful as well.

Another one I'd like to add is Angel Beats!
Since it's also a Key work you probably know what it will be like, only this one wasn't produced by KyoAni.
Like other Key works it has it's fun moments, but it's more about the story and the emotion. I have to say I thought it was a bit rushed at the end, but it still had quite some tearjerking moments.

Well, I guess you already know my thoughts about Toradora.
It's true it's not an anime that's emotional in every episode, but I guess there are others in the list that aren't as well.
Also, I think 'emotional' doesn't always have to be drama, loss or tears of misery. Especially the second half of Toradora is like a bottle of mixed emotions. Romance always comes with tears, and they're not always tears of joy. Love can make you go for strange paths and eventually you can get caught in a labyrinth.
I really don't know how to describe it better, but Toradora kept on playing and fooling my emotions and thoughts on the story.
Though it's not a 'die-hard'-drama, it sometimes made me feel like crawling in a corner and cry for a minute.
So despite being a romantic slice-of-life comedy, for me it definitely fits in the list.
But then again, that's my opinion, so I'd also like to hear the opinion of others.

yeah theres a few animes up there i havent seen like chaos;head etc.

but most of those animes have a "tramatic" experince in the anime that is good at dragging out your emotions...

im an expert in the area :D i search for the animes that make you emo hehe.

there isn't really a pre-determined ruleset for anime to be on the list, but it usually just has to make someone want to tear their heart out.

i think the list is more "tragic,angst" emotional then happy emotional because happy emotional doesnt really work alone and you need some sad which then becomes happy to make a real effect when it comes to happy animes...like the chick is not really dead, or the dude saves the chick by bringing her back to life after she died..

well i think we just need anime that move us, and well i don't really mind putting it on the list..but does it generally move people emotionally on a big scale at one point in the anime then im fine with putting it up there.

if it does for you and many others i see no reason to not put it on there...but i think we need a bigger opinion because i can't make a decision cause i havent seen it in a long time and if i remember correctly the only real emo bit was near the end when it got abit more serious.

Well I totally agree about the moving people part and also about the bigger opinion part.
It made a real big impression on me and it certainly moved me at some points,
so I'm also curious about the opinion of others.
Like I said, it depends on how people look at it, and how they experience it.
So I definitely won't go mad if it weren't put on the list, and I would understand why since it's indeed not an overall emotional anime.

Honey and Clover - Very emotional. If it weren't for the moments of hilarity I think I would have fallen apart a few times. The back stories are tragic, but the characters are real and can be enjoyed. Not all woe is me fml! Suprisingly not Emo.
.........Then there is the second season which brings tragedy to the present and is mostly heartwrenching because it is realistic. First season was realistic in the backstories and effects on the characters, but making it the focus for a set of characters was rough.

I am trying so very hard not to spoil because I dont know how to use spoiler tags, LOL

I'm genuinely surprised Fullmetal Alchemist (the 2003 version at least!) isn't on the list! Apart from being one the best animes (or, indeed, best shows), it's so very emotionally mature, and often outright heart wrenching. I, for one, know for sure that no matter how many animes I watch none of them will affect me (and by that I mean emotionally traumatise) the way FMA did.

Not to mention the soundtracks of both versions (2003 and Brotherhood) adds a whole new depth to the story. The track 'Brothers', whether Vic Mignogna's or the Russian version, is enough to reduce anyone to tears.

The most emotional ones ive seen are AnoHana, Angel Beats and Code Geass R2. These 3 all had endings that left me streaming in tears. Elfen Lied would be too but that is assuming you can get past the previous parts to get to the emotional bit...
