Steins;Gate/Tear Jerker


 * The second half of episode 16 delivers them one after another:
 * In a heartwarming example, Mayuri realizes who Suzuha's father is:
 * The lab receives a letter from Suzuha a few hours later thanks to The Slow Path.
 * That got this troper good.
 * Despite, it turns out that the d-mail worked.
 * How about a few episodes later when  Manly Tears all round.
 * It's even worse since


 * Basically most of the later half of the show.
 * Episode 13. You won't be able to hold all your emotions.
 * Episode 17 when we find out just what Rumiho sent in her D-mail. We also get to see a more vulnerable side of her in this episode, too.
 * Episode 21 where
 * Also, while at her grandmother's grave,
 * Episode 23: the revelation that . It's a heart breaking scene to say the least.
 * Another example overlapping with a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming is the last scene of episode 25.


 * In the film, a drunk Kurisu starts ranting and raving about some things Okabe told her while he was in the US, and is upset that despite telling her that he loved her, he didn't even send her a text message. Or even as little as an emoji. Again, the alcohol might have an influence here, but from her perspective, that must really sting a bit.
 * On the night Okabe disappears, Kurisu begs him one last time to allow her to help him, but he simply refuses and accepts his fate, assuring her that she has the other Lab Members by her side. Then she retorts with this line:
 * Kurisu:  "Idiot! Can't you tell when a girl is telling you that friends aren't enough?!"


 * This scene works well thanks to Trina Nishimura's acting here. It's clear Kurisu is trying to be open about her feelings towards Okabe, but he pushes her away until the quote above, after which he leans forward for a kiss, which only causes her to break completely as the scene closes on the following:
 * Kurisu:  "You bastard... First you tell me to push you out of my mind, then in the same breath, you pull a stunt like that. How am I supposed to forget about you after that. That's not fair..."


 * Remember in Episode 22 of the series where Kurisu is cut off as she ? Well, it happens again in the film, only this time we see it from her perspective. Her emotions are running wild as is, but being interrupted like that while Mayuri and Daru don't even know who she's talking about causes Kurisu to drop to her knees and sob uncontrollably as she summons every ounce of strength to even remember his name.
 * After everyone remembers who Okabe is, Mayuri declares that while she doesn't who "Okarin" is, the name alone makes her feel warm.
