Cry Cute: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

Most women do not look pretty when they cry. Their eyes puff up and turn red. Their face becomes all splotchy. So fits of tears are rarely attractive. More often they are used with a character the audience already finds sympathetic to generate an [[The Woobie|emotional response]]. There is a major exception to this rule.

* An earlier (and rare male) [[Gundam]] example is Universal Century's Commander Bright Noa, during ''[[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam]]''.

* Along with the aforementioned Nagi, [[Rie Kugimiya]]'s characters [[Pigeonholed Voice Actor|do this a lot]]:

** The roar of a wounded tiger in Episode 8 of ''[[Toradora!]]'': [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pdqs-iGryRc "Ryuuji is mine!!! Everyone stay off him!!!"] And also: by Episode 19 {{spoiler|Taiga realizes she ''does'' love Ryuuji, but thinking it's too late once she sent Ryuuji off to meet Minori, runs outside crying}}; and by Episode 24 {{spoiler|the normally cheerful Minori finally breaks down after sending Ryuuji and Taiga off, upon recognizing her affection for both Ryuuji and Taiga}}.

** Rizel of ''[[Rizelmine]]'' also does this a lot, though she is a fairly cute character most of the time anyway.
