Outlaw Star/Tear Jerker

• The episode "Cats and Girls and Spaceships" from Outlaw Star, where Jim unknowingly kills the girl he had liked, and when she understandably fails to show up for their date afterward, he assumes she stood him up and never finds out the truth.
  • Am I the only one who cried when Hilda died?
    • The tears that were shed were Manly Tears, for Hilda has shown us all that Outlaws never go down easy.
  • Am I the only one who cried when Harry died?
    • God, I bout bawled my eyes raw. It's not just that he dies. It's the way he says goodbye to Melfina.
  • Suffice to say, if their name starts with an H, you're going to cry when they die.
• The very, very end of the series, with the the whole crew reunited and setting off for new adventures, always makes this troper teary eyed, both because it's such a good send off and embodies the spirit of Outlaw Star, and because we won't get to see those adventures. The ending caption seals it.

The adventure never ends_
We'll set off on a journey
Sometime Somewhere
To the stars again
And the new adventures will begin.
