I have to admit it, usually yukkuri crying makes me feel annoyed or just apathy out of their obnoxious and bothersome style of crying, I can feel pity for a Yu for other stuff, but I rarely do so when they cry.
But this lil Reimu? she actually made me feel sad and pity her, I give props to Ayazou for actually making some of his Yukkuri crying not Anger or Apathy Inducing! That's a serious achievement in my humble opinion. It's like Purple Koreimu, Ayazou really made her crying sympathetic, instead of a bothersome whailing.
Now I wonder if Ayazou will ever end that other story of the "Slow" Reimu and ultra clumsy X5 Anon. Or if he'll ever start a proper new series. I would like another Justice story like the Purple Reimu one or something funny like the "how to raise baby yu's" one.
Seriously though, theres no (proper) context so this series(?) boils down to whether you want to assume the worst or the best out of this ko. For all the reader knows, this ko is from a shithead family that went around wiping out entire clans and merely escaped from a justice mob.
Or not! Maybe the ko escaped from the home of an abuser Anon who tortured them for lulz and the big bad evil Anons of ayazou's universe just crushed this little ball of pure innocence.
I know that, my point wasn't if this Yu was good or wasn't and asked for it, but my point is that it's rare to find an artist that makes yukkuri crying something that could be sympathized, instead of an annoying whailing that just raises even more death and bad end flags, or make people apathetic to their pleads and not help them at all.
Clearly the context could kill a great deal of the sympathy or raise it further, but in an artistic poing of view, it's a rare thing to find Yu's that cry in a way that you could ACTUALLY feel bad about, instead of the annoying whailing I mentioned before.

Not really. There are a lot of pictures that have crying, non-wailing yukkuris that could be sympathized with in the archives. Try searching for "family_friendly crying".

Yeah, sorry what i meant was in abyuse works, I tend to split appart FF works and Non FF works like 2 separate worlds and assume that when I talk about potentially non sympathetic Yu's people know I talk about non FF works.
Well the family_friendly tag just makes it easier to find such examples. I was afraid if I said to search the "crying" tag by itself, I would've come across as being condescending.
That said, kimoaki is pretty good at making such pictures, but hes long gone.

Well as I said before, it's more my opinion on the matter, my first post pretty much says so, and it's about abyuse works instead of yukkuri works in general incluiding FF works.
And yeah Kimoaki was one of the few who did sympathetic crying (well half of the time, other half was shaky whailing close to bothersome or crying moe.), It's actually his disappearance that gave me the overall impression that Yu Artists stopped making sympathetic crying in Abyuse works.
