I was about to comment the same.

Oh boy, I’ve cried a lot for Guido from La vita è bella, Setsuko+Seita from Hotaru no Haka, Chrono from Chrono Trigger, Ace from One Piece and after a time I just started thinking and talking with some friends or my sister about those movies/game/series.

Saint Seya, Kamisama Hajimemashita, InuYasha and Natsume Yuujinchou series came first to my mind
