Well, let's see here. This post contains obvious spoilers for those who wish not to have their anime tear-jerkers... well... spoilt.
I have plenty. Although I've never cried in an anime.
< Spoiler warning, once more... >
As mentioned before, the scene when Ryouko presumably dies onboard Ryo-Ohki was a tear-jerking moment, especially when the music let out that final cry of desperation as the blood ran down her arm. Terrible.
When Misato lectured Shinji before throwing him into the Evangelion lift and collapsing. That was probably the moment in anime that I came closest to crying... And then watching Shinji sink into a wave of sadness upon realising the blood in his mouth was from Misato. Awful.
When Vegeta cried before Son after Freezer shot through his heart. That was a dramatic scene, and it really did move me.
Another terribly sad scene is in the Love Hina anime, after Naru interferes with the boat 'date' between Mutsumi and Keitarou. When Keitarou asks Narusegawa if she is cold, and she snaps and yells for him to shut up, then looks around and he glances at the ground. I really find thats scene to be upsetting for poor Keitarou.
The story of Kaji is really sad in the Evangelion manga.
For those of you who don't know, Kaji lived with a group of children after escaping his orphanage. One of these children was his younger brother. They would take it in turns to sneak into a millitary installation to scavenge food, and Kaji was one day caught and beaten up.
He was going to be shot unless he told them where his friends were hiding, so he reveals this and narrowly escapes. He emerges from the base just in time to watch a millitary truck pulling away.
When Kaji arrives back at the hiding place, his friends and brother have been killed because he weighed their lives against his. This is something he never forgives himself for.
Shortly after the incident with Fuyutsuki's abduction and interview with SEELE, Kaji is seen standing before the fan clutching what seems to be a gunshot wound to his stomach. He tants his assassin before receiving a final shot. He is then seen laying motionless on the ground in a pool of blood.
Kaji: Is this my end...?
His brother and friends now appear around him and inform him they've come to get him, and he simply smiles and passes on. I found this really touching.
Wolfwood's death was saddening as well, as was when Vash witnessed the ship Rem was on explode. That tore me up inside.
When Asahina dies in Rah, it's terribly sad.
That's my ten cents.
