Is it normal to cry a lot watching anime?

is it normal to cry a lot watching anime?
even if there isn't something really emotional happening if I'm watching an old show I like I just get so emotionally overwhelmed I cry anyway

Yes it is, don't let yourself be told otherwise

Yeah, crying is what humans do.

what do you think it is that pushes you to cry? can you describe it more?
i may or may not understand how you feel

Probably not, but as long as you feel good afterwards.

it's like I said, I just get emotionally overwhelmed
with intentionally emotional scenes it seems obvious, but I'm just watching through an older show right now and I'm crying during every single episode
it's like this overwhelming wave of nostalgia and remembering how good the show was and how obsessed I was with it at the time, and all these huge moments I remember so vividly literally just drives me to tears
it feels so dumb but I can't help it
it's not the only thing that makes me cry but that's just what's happening right now

Show name desu?
And what else makes you cry? :(

I feel like if I admit what show it is I'll get made fun of
heartwarming or sincere stuff gets to me too
the first season of dragon maid with all the comfy family moments and talk about adulthood made me cry a lot probably because I have a horribly dysfunctional family and will never know what that's like

I feel like the last few years I can get wet eyed much easier than in the past, but that's since I've also become a lot more elitist. I think my programming is breaking.

yeah, i think i understand that.
i experienced something similar recently.
after i watched an old show, i was thinking about how much i liked it.
and i had a very strong feeling, which i can only describe as intense nostalgia, and love or desire for something i couldn't touch. like a deep longing i couldn't satisfy.
it made me cry for the first time in a long time. i also couldn't help but feel kind of dumb about it...

iktf user. I don't cry but I do get a mixed feeling of warmth and melancholy when I watch something like that. What usually gets me more are simple acts of kindness like my co-workers getting me a birthday card (the fact that they even remembered it in the first place hits me too). I don't even know how to react in those situations, sometimes I feel so overwhelmed that I tear up and other times all I can muster is a simple but heartfelt "thank you" in response.

same user, it happens often when i watch clips of old shows ive seen and it kinda pisses me off to an extent because its so annoying but whatever

damn. the fact that someone can feel that from a card... really makes me hope i could make someone feel that way

Pretty Cure makes me cry a lot and it's a show for little babies.

depends, I cry just thinking about Evergarden's 10th episode for more than half a second

OMG
I CRIED WATCHING DRAGON MAID TOO
Let's be family user. :'(

Also
>Dragon Maid
>Old

I only cry when it's unexpectedly sad, like when Rui's parents in KnY showed up to to go to hell together with him.
If it's a slow burn type of anime like Clannad, I'd get super upset but won't cry.

Dragon Maid S1 ending did it for me too.
And the part in S2 where Kanna remembered her past moments with Kobayashi, holy shit. Nostalgia is a powerful thing.
