Eureka Seven/Tear Jerker

"Anemone: If, after this ends, someone were to tell me 'It's okay to live', I'd buy just one small mirror and practice smiling. I'd practice over and over, to meet you again. Maybe, if someone were to tell me 'It's okay to live without hurting anyone', I'd pull back my hair as it tossed in the wind, and I'd take a giant step. I'd push out my chest and go see him. I want to live... I want to tell him 'Thank you'. I want to live to show him my feelings. I want to live... It would've been better if I hadn't discovered this feeling."
 * Episode six. You may think it's a comedic, light-hearted episode about Eureka's kids playing pranks on Renton, you're half-right. The scene where the kids are crying and they said that they didn't want Renton around because they think he's going to take Eureka (their adoptive mother) away is pretty heartwrenching.
 * When
 * Oh, yes. It probably wouldn't have been so bad.
 * The worst part of that episode is that... she sets the table for her, Charles, and Renton with their 3 mugs.
 * If you've watched this series before, then the episodes where Renton is happy with Charles and Ray. It only makes it that much worse when they're so accepting and loving of Renton, even supporting his decision to go back to the Gekko if that is what he wants and is determined to do.
 * The only reason why all the crap that Gekkostate put Renton through in the first 12 episodes was remotely tolerable was so that he could be with Eureka. So when Eureka turns him away after desperately trying to tell her his feelings for her, he pretty much loses all hope and decides to leave the ship.
 * Some of the flashbacks involving.
 * Anemone's behavior


 * After this, Anemone prepares to unleash her ultimate attack on Renton and Eureka when.
 * That little girl and her parents on the plane.
 * Speaking of which, Episode 23. The Beams are on a mission to bring a Vodarac girl, who is living under critical condition and refused service by the hospital, to be brought to her final resting place. Having none of it, Renton desperately tries to save a Vodarac girl from dying by taking her to another hospital across town. However, the girl is harshly discriminated at the hospital he does go to; and when they go back, it's too late.
 * That same episode, Eureka finally realizes her feelings for Renton. And then Holland breaks the news that Renton jumped ship... Where's my Kleenex box again?
 * It's more sad once you consider one of the reasons behind Renton leaving the ship was the fact that, as Eureka didn't understand that she "loved" him at the time, he believed that Eureka hated him.
 * Episode 25. William B. Baxter really deserves a prize for not losing his composure and becoming depressed when his wife catches the Desperation Disease.
 * Don't forget Norb's and Sakuya's flashbacks of their romance in episode 41 though. It is arguably the 2nd most heartbreaking episode in the second half of the series.
 * One of the biggest tearjerkers in the series didn't come from the anime, but rather its manga adaptation. Despite defeating the Big Bad, . The final interaction between the two lovers and Renton's reactions makes it brutally difficult not to cry.
 * While this troper was saddened by her disappearance, the manga also implied that one day Eureka will return (once the Scub is restored), so he has hope.
 * When
 * "Renton...I want to see you."
