Welcome OP! Sorry, I need to ask you to edit the title to tag the comic name (or artist). In this case, could you add [Alzward] to the title?

- Rule 1 - Be civil.
- Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.
Posting guidelines:
- No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
- Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
- Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

Done! Thanks for the heads up and for creating/moderating the community!
Grave of the Fireflies.
Where my head went immediately.
That's been on my list of movies I need to show my partner for ages; I just haven't been in the mood to ugly cry that is required before watching it.
Switch pane 2 and 3
*3&5
Dog dies? I'm out. Kill any person you want. Kill every person. Cool story. If the dog suffers I'm noping.
The only moment I cried during "I am legend"
Additional levels:
"Ed... ward?"
Jurassic Bark
"...Bang..."
"I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how..."
I know the last two are arguably "a good character dies," but no...
Thanks for triggering some tramatic memories! I've definitely bawled my eyes out to all of these that I recognized (and am definitely not looking up the ones I don't)
I'd swap the last two around to be honest
Both are equally sad to me, buckets of tears for those 2
Na. Animals get so much more leakage.
Man, I miss Alzward's comic. I wonder if he's written any new ones since the last time I visited that site.
*checks subreddit*
... Nope, fell into financial distress and moved on to drawing porn since it pays better. Huh...
Dang, I guess the real emotional damage is in the comments. Hope they're making ends meet and are happy! 🫤
damn, I also really. enjoyed his comics and seeing him improve with each one
Oh. Dang I was just thinking "dang I wonder if this artist has other art"
damn, that guy is jacked
😭 Boat dies 😭
"I'm glad I got to carry you as long as I did..."
For me, the last one to trigger me this way was the dieing couple in last of us... Which category does that fall in?
The scene in I am Legend was tough for me. Saw it not long after our family had to put down our first cat.
Because of this comic, I found out that "Where the red Fern grows" has movie adaptations
That time I missed the QTE and didn’t give Da Vinci a hug in Assassin’s Creed II. 😭
I don’t agree it’s damage though.
Then there's animate objects dying, and people breaking for some reason.
They left out Dukie in the final of The Wire 😭😭😭
