Would like your opinion, and I cried at the last episode of Astroboy 03, when he tells the dr astroboy Forgiving Tenma after all he did ,in that part I started to mourn

I do too, but I cried more when I watched the uncut Japanese version.
"Don't die father"

In the manga chapter "Baro, the robot." After going back in time and Astro feeling terribly alone from being the only intelligent robot to exist, eventually one gets created, and Tezuka makes us go through an amazing emotion curve... First we see Astro at his happiest, skipping and singing that he finally has a robot friend, and then... Things don't go too well.

This was the hardest Astro Boy moment for me.

I can't get through the Subs end song! When he's on the roof at sunset.

I cried during the Pluto manga - in three particular parts.
1. When Dr. O was fixing the robot dog *sniffle*
2. When Epsilon was destroyed *sniffle-hic*
3. The entire final volume *waaaaaaaaa!*
(Oh yeah, and the North no.2 chapters...)
I don't recall crying during the series. Well, my sister ruined the final episode of the '03 series because...well, it wasn't completely her fault as I instigated the joke at the start of the second season...and well...*sigh* it's not completely appropriate...but every time we watch the last five episodes of the '03 series we end up dieing with laughter because of it...
(Didn't help that we were drunk that one time...)

Yes. That's the song they play. But it's that lonely rooftop with astro that gets me.

Aw I love how he moves his ankles as if it's going to the beat of the song and then it connects up to the final episode where he looks over at his friends. I think there was an episode before though where he was looking out a bit like that, can't remember which though =(
You know, I was actually worried the seagull would drop an unplesant gift on him. I was like "No Astro! Don't look up!" I should've figured from the gentle music though they wouldn't do that, fortunately.

There are probably others, but in #193, when the missile fails, & Atom knows he must be the one that carries it into the sun. The music stops, and voices sing an "Ahhh-ahhh-aHH" & Atom says goodbye to his family, & just now thinking about it wets my eyes.
Oh, When Pula (Jimbo)'s mother is dying, & Pula is crying "mama, mama!"

I have never been into elephants, but that always touched me.
