Experiencing emotions is part of being human.

...Yes you are, I did on those two as well. Don't worry.

"Am I normal for crying at a sad thing" is a wild question. If you're a guy, you need to learn that it's okay to cry and to let yourself cry more.

I can see your point about animation being sadder than live action. Live action you kinda have to either a) fake the emotion or b) get in touch with the character which both don't work all the time. Animation however, you can just draw how sad you want to make someone at any given time.

I'm a 32 year old man. I fit a certain stereotype, 192cm 115kg, bearded, bald and resting bitch face. I have cried on several occasions to anime. Having emotions doesn't make you weak, or weird. It's something that needs to be more normalized, especially with men. It's okay to cry.

Pancreas gotta be top 5 worst movies I've ever seen.

Yes. Many people cry watching emotional stuff.

Yes

You should watch Dandadan season 1 ep7, and then come back

Don’t know why you need other people validation for crying . It is not like you are doing it in public

if its a sad anime you got a reason to cry

whats not normal is me crying at the most wholesome stuff in existence (i was sobbing by the end of Konohana Kitan and Kimi ni Todoke)

You're fine. I don't really feel anything with real people in movies, series, etc, unless there's a sad animal part. I've cried over a couple of animes that I remember, I think Japanese are quite good at portraying emotions through voice acting, unlike dubs, lol sorry I'll get hate but most dubs are awful.

Yes very normal your weird ig you don’t

Having emotions is extremely not human. You might, in fact, be a very vocal pancake.

You're misusing the term traumatized. Crying is just an emotional release or relief valve. When you carry too much emotional weight or baggage, a good cry releases that and you feel better. Sadly, people haven't learned coping and defense mechanisms since about the early 90's. You crying from a sad anime is actually perfectly normal and a mentally healthy practice.

buddy i'd be surprised to hear not crying over a film

It's completely normal. It shows that you feel the true emotion.

Not that it means anything, but I am a guy and I cried like a baby at the hand opening scene in Your Name.
