That feel when you watch something truly heartwarming and you feel empty afterwards

Indeed, it matters. If you hadn't noticed by now, I'm kind of a crybaby, so when I say something made me cry, you probably don't need to take it too seriously (unless I'm talking about the show that--oh forget it, I love AnoHana. Welcome to the NHK also had a certain moment that got to me pretty hard). I mean, for fuck's sake, K-On!! (yes, second season specifically, it was much better than the first) got me.
As it should. K-ON! was great.
It's still the show that got me more emotionally invested than any other.
Because I love K-ON!, you know?
Anyway, like Everest I'm a crybaby, and being a crybaby I cry pretty much whenever anything emotional at all happens in something I like.
The only things that have ever made me start really sobbing were Higurashi
Like a goddamned baby.
;_;
I still don't cry at anything. According to internet anecdote, it seems as though everyone else does, but I kinda just sit there.
Alex,
If it makes you are feel any better, you are not alone there.
I would not really be worried about not crying about TV shows, movies, games, and such. I would be a bit more concerned if you had absolutely no reaction to sad/heartwarming events in real life, but even then, I feel like there is a lot more to emotion than just outward displays of it.
I don't cry at much. What does make me cry is usually really weird, like Super Mario Galaxy music. I dunno
Angel's finale is one of the biggest things to make me cry.
Also, Kamen Rider W made me cry a fair few times, but the ending of 48 made me cry more than just about anything. I still tear up watching it, and it's been over a month.
This feeling, in image macro form.
Some of the things you folks have mentioned have given me this reaction. Another one is in Sandman, when Matthew and then Death come to sit and talk with Dream before the Kindly Ones get to him.
Man, Sandman was full of those, really. There is something about the way Gaiman writes that manages to both rip your heart out and then comfort you in the certainty that that pain you're feeling is going to go away and things will be better once you're over that.
The upbeat finale of There She Is, Step 4, always makes me cry like a nancy for some reason.
AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAH OH WOW

Okarin goes through a lot of character development, in regards to that.
I finished Wind Waker recently and I don't know why but I really liked the ending. It was more satisfying than any other Zelda ending, except maybe Skyward Sword
Wind Waker was cool like that. Yeah the world's trashed and we just lost an ancient, legendary civilization forever, but, y'know, fuck if we're gonna let that get us down.
The other day I was thinking about how they ought to do a new film about Captain Scott (the real-life guy who came second in the race to the South Pole and died on the way back). I started getting teary about the part where they're all stuck in a tent dying and Oates says "I am just going out now. I may be some time", wanders out and dies in the snow.

Listening to Boredoms' Vision Creation Newsun or Super Æ. It's like I'm continuously pumped and full of childish glee for an hour and then... it's over. But it's nice to bask in the afterglow.
I feel the inverse. Whenever I start to get those empty feelings of humans being terrible, seeing the counterexamples of kindness acts is enough to fill more optimistic feelings back in.
Perhaps fiction creates the opposite effect because it's artificial. Worst case scenario, I feel utterly manipulated afterward.
