Having a sense of empathy doesn't make a person good-hearted and not having one doesn't make one not heartless either. |

| Feeling sad is ok, but crying? I've never cried to anime because I know it's freaking not real. It's ok if you cry once or twice but not alot. |

Without empathy you're literally the definition of a psychopath. Empathy: Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within the other person's frame of reference, i.e., the capacity to place oneself in another's shoes. Without empathy, you get things like 'fat people are just lazy shitbags'. |

I know two big assholes that went all emotional over Anohana. |

I know two big assholes that went all emotional over Anohana. Of course, that could be true, however, can you objectively say that you truly know the hearts of those 'two assholes'? It isn't surprising that they might more easily empathize with pure anime characters because they are generally more pure and innocent than real humans which all are more complex and have more faults. Being able to cry for someone, 2D or 3D is a good sign. |

| who gives a fuck really if you are not willing to feel certain emotions watching anime you'll never enjoy it to the fullest |

Does that make them any less of a person? Of course not. That just means that they're lazy shitbags. |

| It's not dumb to cry for anime characters. If it were dumb to cry for anime characters, it would be dumb to cry for the superheros in those Marvel and DC films. |

| Goku has been responsible for quite a few tears on my end |
 |
| How could it be dumb? People cry at movies constantly and that's the same thing. |
  |
| It's entertainment media, and its intention is often to give the viewer a powerful emotional experience. That's what many people are looking for in escapism anyway. Of course it isn't dumb. People that think otherwise are retards and wretched philistines. |
| The first time I cried while watching an anime was when I watched 'The Grave of the Fireflies'. I was 10 years old and I don't regret it. I had another mental breakdown while watching 07 Ghost when Teito sees the reborn Mikage for the first time (I cried a river). But that's another story. Oh, and the last Hybrid Child OVA killed me. And yes, I'm a male in my twenties ;D |
HigurashiChan said: Crying is a human emotion. If you are trying to convey to your friends that you are an extraterrestrial being, you may want to stop watching human media first. Firelilyx said: Nah man, it just shows that you can feel empathy. So at least you're not a sociopath/psychopath! Congratulations! :D |
| Yes. Nothing wrong with shedding a few tears. "Emotion is not weakness, and violence is not strength!" |
  |
| Yes, better turn in your man card. |
| lol i would react the same irl and call him a baby BUT thats just some feelings u should keep to yourself. You shoudnt go blabbing how u cry alot u cansay i like the anime it was sad but dont say u cried xD |

| Not at all. If you cried, that just means the show did its job. It made you feel. |

| It's not dumb, although I've never done it. I guess I'm just heartless lol. |
 |
| If you connect with a fictional character where you can relate with them its pretty normal to feel sad, happy, mad or cry for them. that's the beautiful thing about anime |
| I know people who have cried but I never cried, I think something typical only depends on the person, but they tell me that if I see clannad I cry, just watching to know it. |
 |
| ofc not! |
I'm feelin' normal, I'm feelin' myself ♪♪ |
| I think there's something wrong if you DONT cry lol. I actually use tears as a basis of whether or not a series gets a 10 from me or not. Sometimes I even go on a feels spree and watch the saddest parts of my favorite series. I still can't watch the end of Code Geass without crying. |
| I have felt very emotional from some anime. Steins Gate, Code Geass, Mirai Nikki wrecked my heart. But I have never cried from it. There is nothing wrong with crying over it though. It is a sign of empathy. As long as you arent crying over stupid shit like spilled milk. |
| Probably not, but I've never cired while watching anime so I don't have any saying in this. |
 |
| I dont think so. I cry really easily when I read/watch something that I find sad. |

It's okay to cry guys :'( |
 |
| No.. It shows that you have an emotional understanding against the morose situation of the anime you currently watch... Thus creating empathy.. |
| I cry evertim |
| I do it too and there is nothing wrong with it. It doesn't really matter that they are only fictional characters because if the anime is done well and you like a character you'll get emotionally invested in the them and the good and bad that happens to them will be emotionally provoking. if we couldn't get invested in fictional characters at all we wouldn't be able to enjoy anime nearly as much in the first place and getting invested in them means feeling bad if they die. its why works of fiction are entertaining. |
| I don't see why not. If an Anime doesn't induce at least some kind of emotion in you, whether that be joy, anger, sorrow, etc, then it's clearly doing something wrong. |
 |
| No it's not. It means you have a heart. |
| I'm a sucker for strong female characters. |
