I'm looking for some series that really make you feel a certain emotion whether that be extreme happiness, sadness, motivation, etc. Ones that really hit you hard and make you feel those emotions.

For example, something that was so sad that it made you cry, but that can be for any type of emotion.

I haven't seen much so just take a quick look at my list to avoid suggesting things I've seen.

Kaiba made me cry just about every episode.

Legend of Galactic Heroes made me run the gamut of emotions.

Eve no Jikan made me tear up a little, too.

FLCL is my go-to feel-good show.

Code Geass made me enraged with all its twists, in a good way, XD

Kanon (2006) made me very sad, I didn't had one to love the time I watched it.

Elfen Lied. There is no way you are watching that and not feeling something. I don't know which emotion you will feel, but you'll feel it for sure.

^This.

One Piece - If you wanna have the feeling of manly guys doing manly things.

Besides, you might also take a look at Clannad and Clannad After Story, I duno how you will feel, but ya, I'm sure they will make you emotional in a way, and they are rather good at making the viewers emotional.

Full Moon wo Sagashite - pity,sadness and sorrow.

Terra e... - sympathy, pity, nostalgia,
We are the United. Even in defeat we stand united.

Boku no Pico gave me a every sexual emotion possible. I had never had any like at all for shota before watching this anime. It's like. That emotion you get watching three shotas bed atop of an Eiffel tower looking thing.

Definitely Gintama. It can give you a hard laugh and tears of sadness/joy/impression at the same time.

Same With GTO - great teach onizuka. It can be very funny at times followed by sadness which would impress you from the joy of its accomplishment.

Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa always give me a huge compassion for nature and for other people.

Chrono Crusade made me cry towards the end.

Code Geass made me feel every possible emotion to the point where I felt emotionally violated.

Kanon 2006 made me really happy inside even though some of the parts were quite sad.

Grave of the fireflies was really sad.

A lot of good recommendations. I'd add Kimi ni Todoke (Its only halfway done, still ongoing). Its Shoujo too. But for some reason, its really heart-warming and I can't help but smile a lot. =]

PS: I did watch Forrest Gump before it, so that may have affected my mentality towards it in someway. :?

Wolf's Rains a good one I can think of its about wolf's that can turn into humans that are looking for paradise, the place only a wolf can find, when they get caught up in a bit of a war that's happening and things get difficult. It makes you feel sad at times be can also be good at inspiring or motivating you.

When I was a kid, most animes made me happy(well, they weren't sad ones anyway), but nowadays, things like Hokuto no Ken and LoGH give me a lot of emotions, of every kind.

Now and Then, Here and There

You'll feel sad, depressed, disgusted, disappointed at humanity, compassionate, and somewhere in-between you'll find little sparkles of hope.
