*SPOILER*

Ya know, if I had read that before finishing the show, I would have hunted you down and killed you in the most brutal manner possible. Posting spoilers like that is just rude.

*Spoiler*

























Yeah same goes here trigun was a sad anime yet funny at some point but cowboy bebop was sadder cause spike dies.....

*spoiler*

I agree spike death was sad but he had to do what he needed to do...

*spoiler*

























i suppose ruronui kenshin for me... rurouni kenshin is the saddest anime for me... it sucks that kenshin dies...


Yeah same goes here trigun was a sad anime yet funny at some point but cowboy bebop was sadder cause spike dies.....

oh yeah i watched the ending thing and yeah i saw that part and it gave me goose bumps... that'll be second saddest for me...

*spoiler*

































it was not in the series of rerouni kenshin that he died he died in the movie samurai x reflection which was sad cause karu also died along with him....

i forgot about cowboy bebop.

Hey everybody.

Glad you're enjoying the thread, but PLEASE, you have to MARK SPOILERS.

I know most people here have seen Trigun, Kenshin, and Cowboy Bebop, but not everyone has, so let's not spoil them for those people. Or any other animes for that matter.

Just do something like

*spoiler*



. . .have some space, and then type up what you wanted to say.

lol thats what they have been doing....and its funny how its in the beginning if EVERY post lol

btw: Cowboy bebop and Samurai X(the good one, the movie) are very sad

o dear.

I found the first 20~ episodes of Naruto rather sad. =(

spoilers







Naruto was also sad how the hokage died

*Spoiler*




























Cowboy Bebop. When I was first introduced to the series I instantly thought it was one of the best animes, but when it got to the end of the series, with how it all ended, especailly when Spike dies, I guess it was ok though, because he was finally able die... If you watch the series, you know what I mean

*SPOILER*
































In the Rurouni Kenshin OVA when Tomoe dies, that was sad...

wow. this thread's full of spoilers.

the saddest anime for me is grave of the fireflies. it made me cry.

wow. this thread's full of spoilers.

the saddest anime for me is grave of the fireflies. it made me cry.
I saw that too *sniffles*it was sad
*SPOILERS*




















Kikaider was sad as well how chiro killed his brothers also the grave of the fire flies how that girl died *sniffles*

SaiKano. I cried. It's really one of those anime where it seems all cutesy and fluffy at first, but totally decieves you in later episodes. It's a bit like Fruits Baskets' ending, except much, much darker.

*Spoiler*



In Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal Tomoe dies. *sniffles*
Then in Escaflowne where Naria, Eriya, AND Folken die! *Wah!!*

*Spoiler*



In Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal Tomoe dies. *sniffles*
Then in Escaflowne where Naria, Eriya, AND Folken die! *Wah!!*
she died in order for kenshin to live well it must have been tough for him to bare the fact that the one and only person he loved died in front of his eyes by his own sword well as they say time heals old wounds and kenshin found some else he loved and started a family with......

I think FMA was pretty sad in some parts... :sad:

I think FMA was pretty sad in some parts... :sad:
I agree especially..
*SPOILERS*

























When Hughes die.

"Grave of the Fireflies" not just sad but tradgic, very tradgic. It almost makes you wonder if the world really does have a purpose when so much evil exits....*sobs*

The ending of Chrno Crusade made me a bit teary eyed ;-;

It's better to create a new thread than to revive a dead one, F.Y.I. However, Grave of the Fireflys is the probably the most wistful Anime I've seen to date.

;__;
Kanon.
D:

and..
Maybe...


*spoiler*





FMA cause lust dies.

i agree with you all, FMA was really sad......and complicated in some way.
and also Fafner right of left.......T__T bouhuhuhu

Naruto made me cry and shake a few times._____. I will definatly say Naruto. Then, once they end those crappy fillers and bring KAkashi's Gaiden into the Anime, I will be in tears for weeksXD
*spoiler warning*

I couldn't beleive Asuma actually died in the manga;____; He wasn't my favorite character or anything, but I was still shaking after reading that chapter-_____- it could really change the Anime/Manga with what will happen to Shikamaru, Ino, and Chouji, definatyl Kurenai, and as an effect of Kurenai's sadness it makes me wonder about Hinata, Shino, Kiba and Akamaru as well.

*END SPOILER*

Wolf's rain in the final episodes.
Chrono Crusade.... a very sad sad ending.
FMA in certain parts, specially towards the ending.
Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien
Full Moon Wo Sagashite :-(
Key, the metal idol :-(
Fuyishi Yuugi
Ayashi no Ceres
AIR, My God such a sad series and very rare too.

sailor moon a good number of times.


spoiler:[highlight to read]


when neflite died, when it looked like anne was gonna die and alen was ready to die with her, and who knows who else was about to die. :p


also in pretear the ending cause it looked like it was really gonna end like that. but thankfully it didn't. very awesome.

*Possible Spoiler Warning?
























Since I don't want to bother with the spoiler tag, I'll just list them and not say why, also cause I'm a noob in forum posting, I'll mess up ><
Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien - :(
Fate Stay Night - Ending
Lamune - Close to ending
Air TV - :(((
Kasimasi - :( Close to the ending
Kanon - :(
That's all I can think of, heh

i'm surprised that there's only two mentions of Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien on here...there isn't anything that's directly addressed in the anime that's sad to me...but the fact that they all lived with this load of guilt at what they had done to each other afterwards was enough for me to see how small things can rip apart relationships between even the best of friends

I would have to say Eureaka 7 simply because

SPOILER









I beacame attached to Charles and Ray, and I cried when both died

definatly Ruroni Kenshion

Kimi Ga Nozomu is sad not for what happened in the beginning of the anime, but more for what happens afterwards. As you stated z.zetsumei, it's what they have to go through, and the events that conspire, and all this background emotion that make this series a tear jerker for me. Also, it can be so closely related to real life, as in there's nothing that's totally out of bounds, and I guess that reality factor also plays in if you're one that has gone through a bad relationship before. Of course a lot of people say that series is boring or it wasn't sad or whatnot, but IMO i think it was.

Saikano.
I think so.

Spoilers for for Fullmetal Alchemist and chobits

SPOILER









FMA was said when Hughes died. And Choobits at the very end of the series.

Now and then, Here and there was pretty much a continuous stream of depression.

Kimi ga Nozumo Eien. an anime I just finished watching.
I mean, It's okay If an anime got some sad moments, but this one Is just way to sad.
and the worst thing Is, It could actally have happened In real life to. It's like teh motto or whatever says "u can't choose who u will fall In love with".
It's just the way love Is which makes It even more sad.

Eureka Seven. Charles and Ray, how fucking could they.

I can't believe no one has mentioned "Grave of the Fireflies", the others have nothing on this one. This is one of the saddest movies overall that I have seen, including non anime. Beautiful anime, but damn, its a tearjerker.

Mmmmm... actuaclly, if you read the first post of this topic, several members mentioned Graveyard of the Fireflies....By the way, Kite is quite sad too and the violinist of Hamelin.

trigun when wolfwood dies & blood+ when haji got riped and blasted apart he survived though.

*spoiler*






FMA for me. At the end when Ed makes Al human again and ends up giving his whole body as equal exchange.

Voices of a Distant Star
Now and Then, Here and There

Can't think of much else that has really made me even feel anything.

spoiler






































i hated the ending for chrono crusade. i mean killing off one you would expect but both chrono and rosette? i'm one of those saps that sees all the signs but hopes that love will conquer all and they will be happy together. that ending just totally ruined it for me. sniffs. oh and when tamahome's whole family is killed by suboshi in fushigi yugi that was just horrible. also the last episode of kino's journey for obvious reasons

Kanon is quite sad, but most saddening anime I have ever watched was Air.
It was good and sad, only series that have made this rough guy really cry.

I do not know if sadness would be the best word for it but Berserk is very dark and at times it can be very depressing.

At some points, I found Full Metal Alchemist to be sad.

NANA

I would have to say... definitely RahXephon. Not the ending, but everything leading up to the 19th episode, and a few eps beyond that. It fcken broke my heart, I cried like a little girl.
Next would have to be SaiKano, again not the ending but that bed scene with Shuji and Akemi. And then the cheeky bastards who subbed the Anime had the nerve to put the "OMG STOP WATCHING THIS ANIME RITE NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO CRY UR HEART OUT LOL" AFTER that episode. Anything after that episode wasn't as tragic for me.
Fruits Basket. When Momiji Sohma told that story about that man who was too helpfull for his own good. Damn... ='(
Oh, and the endong of DBGT. Yeah, I got sad, extremely sad and happy at the same time. o_o

KGNE wasn't that tragic for me, nor Kanon, nor Air, nor even that Kenshin four part OVA.

Aagh. D: I just downloaded the yet-to-be-released-in-English volumes of Angel Sanctuary.

*spoiler*















Man, I cried when Kato died. I knew he would from pretty much the very beginning, but still. It was such a sad death. Good scene, but ack. He was my favorite character, too. D: Actually, a lot of the later chapters had deaths and scenes that made my eyes sting a little. The scene where Laila (Sevy) dies was also really sad. *tear

One day, I sat down and watched all of Elfen Lied.
There were tears.

are you talking about the mangas or actual dvd's?? angel sanctuary is awesome

Gunslinger girl made me cry, and I ain`t ashamed to say that

Now and then, Here and there was pretty much a continuous stream of depression.

ahh i was wondering when someone would mention that one!!! that is by far the most depressing anime series. saikano is 2nd to is maybe

*SPOILERS*





























NTHT almost evey character dies and the worst part is they were just kids. not to mention the rapes.

*spoiler*






There are a few for myself.

NHK ni Youkoso after they get back from almost killing themselves and the leader who did it because his wife left him. His son is waiting for him and says that his wife wants to get back together. There were tears there.

xxxHOLiC when Watanuki meets that woman who he loves and she loves him. It's like he has his mother back and she has her son back. She is killing him because she's a spirit but he goes and sees her anyway and about dies like three times. When Domeki sends her to the other side, there were tears abundant.


Personally I didn't cry when Wolfwood died, I just viewed it as kinda sad.

As to Spike dying in Bebop, I don't believe he died but it never says either way. It just starts over again. The first ep. begins with the last ep.

Now and Then, Here and There.

are you talking about the mangas or actual dvd's?? angel sanctuary is awesome


Manga. Screw the anime. D<

Cardcaptor Sakura. I must of cried about 10 times during the whole series. I felt so sorry for Syaoran. >_>

I think Grave of Fireflies of Studio Ghibli is the most saddest anime I've ever seen :-( If you've never seen it, you have to watch.. :-(

Elefenlied is probably the tearjerker anime for me (and my brothers even cried on this one...I didn't really, but it was depressing ^^)...though its always sad to see one of my favourite characters die in an anime, which happens alot because I usually like "the evil ppl" -_-

I think Grave of Fireflies of Studio Ghibli is the most saddest anime I've ever seen :-( If you've never seen it, you have to watch.. :-(

Yeah, I agree on that one. That was really depressing. can't believe I forgot about that one....

Blood + I guess, How Saya left Kai and others... The soundtracks are compiled into one and it really resonate to our feeling... Good Job MARK MANCINA

One day, I sat down and watched all of Elfen Lied.
There were tears.

I already said it before, but I didn't see this comment before mine. I think it says quite enough....again ^^

Also I forgots to mention DBZ Garlic Jr. saga....yeah....<.<

Elefenlied is probably the tearjerker anime for me (and my brothers even cried on this one...I didn't really, but it was depressing ^^)...though its always sad to see one of my favourite characters die in an anime, which happens alot because I usually like "the evil ppl" -_-

I just watched the series and the last two eps. killed me.

Rurouni Kenshin, especially the OVAs (mainly Seisouhen). I can't think of any other sad animes that I've watched so far, so that was all I came up with. Also, I'm not going to spoil the ending for anyone who hasn't seen the OVA (Reflection), so I'll keep my mouth shut.

Huntrss Krystle said that Grave of The Fireflies was the saddest, and I think she's right. While I didn't cry, I just sorta sat there, looking at my hands in my lap for a few minutes. I love that film but geez.

Grave of the Fireflies, but honorably mentions goes to Elfen Lied, Death Note (the last minutes of ep 7 was almost painful; poor poor Misora Naomi-san .....), Fushigi Yuugi and several others

first is : galaxy farlin yuna, the ova : the dark sisters.
the yungest android didn,t deserve to die, aspecaly by her older sister?


sailormoon season 1-5 . talk about drama?

dragonball z : goku died twice , piccalo died twice . same goes for vegeta.

yaumcha didn,t deserve to die , stupid android.

the famous goku vs cell, that made me cry BAD.

sorcer hunters: it ended well but still .


and last but not least , X movie: that didn,t make any sense at all.
everyone died except for the hero?

xenosaga:anime ver. prototype 99 series realian , she was so cute .


& of course EVANGELION &movies. , first kaji then rei, korwru ,then asuka
in the most brutal way , after that , the whole world turned to tang.
finaly it ends with asuka& shinji ALONE , you can only guess the sad ending.



nadesco :prince of darkness, WTF?

i could add others but can,t think of any right now.

been making horrific fanfics of anime series on the idea of mirror universes.

not a preety site.

Saddest? Has to be Graveyard of the Fireflies. And aside from that, A Wind Named Amnesia.

And aside from that? Violinest of Hameln, TV series. An odd contrast to the mischievous manga and movie.

The really weird thing about me is that all Anime I have watched is sad at the end when the anime itself has ended. I think it is because I wont see what happens afterwards... But A really sad Anime I think is really saddening (enough to make me cry a bit lol) was Grave of the Fire Flies. (Ghibli Studios). That one was really sad...

When Areis. . .oops, wait, anime.

I know Avatar: Last Airbender isn't exactly 'anime', but the there is one episode called "Tales of Ba Sae Sing", where Uncle Ihoh is remembering his dead son at the end. After the story is over, a still screen is shown dedicating the episode to Mako who had died and was the voice for Ihoh.

Anime without any closure at its final ending always makes me cry.(and pisses me off at the same time)

Grave of the Fire Flies
Anyone who finds this anime not sad is the devil or his next of kin

hmm... sad.
*SPOILER* [Despite the fact that almost everyone here already spoiled this]
















FMA: When Maes Hughes gets shot by Envy impersonating his own wife, when Greed dies, and when Scar dies.
All of the other things that I can think of (From FMA) are just straight-up depressing or even frustrating (The explanation of how problems in the real [our] world provide the energy for all the alchemy in the other world; The fact that in the movie, Maes Hughes' double is a nazi, Roy Mustang's alternate self is potentially freaking Hitler, and all of the cool homunculi die/get seriously maimed before Gluttony manages to die; that Ed manages to die roughly three times in a single episode (appropriately titled "Death"); and how Marda [Marta?] gets killed by Pride [not the fact that she manages to go nowhere with her plans of revenge, just the fact that she gets cut, in HALF, while hiding inside of Al])

Eureka 7: I found Ray's death to be a bit more sad (and only a little more sadistic) than Charles'. Also, the propaganda speech regarding the whole Coralian issue (the episode aired on Adult Swim about 4 days ago) was pretty f***ed up.

Now and Then, Here and There was a tear jerker for me.

One of the saddest i watched was grave of the fireflies when the little girl died wahhhh

*SPOILER*


















FMA: Yeah your right Jeebly_Jim, So many people die :( .. I didn't want to see Maes Hughes.. and Hohenheim of Light.. die.. Alot of sad moments in FMA
Cowboy Bebop: NOooOooOOo, Why did Spike have to die !! :( :( :( *Bang!, Then drops to the floor* no fairrrrrr :( :(

wolf rain

*SPOILER*


































when wolfwood dies :'( wahahahahaha
oh yeaht thats trigun :)


+1

every studio ghibli animes have some touchy feeling in them
for me, grave of the fireflies is the saddest anime i've ever watch
i've watch so many sad anime before, but i've never cry (watery eyes maybe,but not cry)
grave of the fireflies was the first anime that made me cry
and the images of the anime remain in my mind for a few days

I wouldn't deny but for me was Hokuto No Ken: Raoh Gaiden Movie. to be honest i never cried this much b4 but the part where shuu dies giving his last message to kenshiro really did get to me.

y u fagets cryin over chinese cartoons? real men downt cry, you fukin queer bags. only time crying is warranted was when dale earndheart died

y u fagets cryin over chinese cartoons? real men downt cry, you fukin queer bags. only time crying is warranted was when dale earndheart died

Don't be ignant. He died in a conspiracy to take over the South! His car was taken over, someone who was driving for that long would have never crashed like that! THINK about it!


I've never actually cried at a movie before, closest I came to crying was when you-know-who dies in Farscape: Peacekeeper Wars.

who's dale earndheart?

who's dale earndheart?

He was a NASCAR driver.

Wow. You are truly a cunt. Please shut up now.

Wow. You are truly a cunt. Please shut up now.

Who me?

Yes. You're a cunt being a cunt in response to another cunt's cuntery. Lay off or I'll have to make with the arbitrary post deletions.

Arc the Lad when...

SPOILERS!
SPOILERS!
SPOILERS!
BIG-TIME SPOILERS!!


















...he finds his old friend, and vomits when he sees that the used her as a Chimera machine, where the bottom half of her body is nothing but this huge horiffic...thing. That alone was sad enough, but then he actually gets her out and, after hugging her, strangles her to death to put her out of her misery. HOLY CRAP. That made me tear up big time. Geez, just thinking about it...damn.

definately, the saddest anime ever is Ruroni Kenshin

I think the movie "Grave of the Firelies" is probably the saddest anime I have ever seen. i cried so much at the end. I won't spoil anything, but if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. And bring a box of Kleenx with you.

y u fagets cryin over chinese cartoons? real men downt cry, you fukin queer bags. only time crying is warranted was when dale earndheart died

For the record, we're talking about JAPANESE animation.
And can you stop being so rude, I find it really offensive. Are you homophobic or something?

Grave of the Fireflies yesh - I cried like a big baby when I saw the little girl die :/

;____;

Grave of the Fireflies, Air & Kenshin.

Figure 17

*SPOILER*







































Sho dies, and Tsubasa grieves for him. At the end Hikaru dies falling apart into particles of light as she transforms from figure to human, and only Tsubasa is allowed to remember her. It made me depressed, and I still am depressed over the ending and that's life.

*SPOILER*
















spike dies in the end?????? I thought he just got unconscious? (or I was hoping that he was unconscious and that jet and faye would go get him...)

=_______=

I think I cried in FMA episode 3, when the song "brothers" was played. I don't know why, I just cried.



*SPOILER*








































My sister cried with Kaji's dead in Evangelion, also when she knew Misato dies. She also cried with Maes Hughes Dead in FMA and Nina being turned in a Chimera. She also cried with Candy Candy, when she was three(She is now 25, and we both hate that anime)
I think The Vision of Escaflowne had a sad ending.

i would also say fma it was not the kind of anime like naruto or bleach with more action it had a lot of drama in it ;/

I cried when Jagi was killed by Kenshiro in FoNs :(

so far Elfen Lied..poor Lucy!

Elfen Lied for me...the ending..and parts of the series...I cried....

How many of you know what Geikigangar III is? That was definitely the saddest anime ever made. ;-)

*Spoilers for Wolf's Rain, Trigun, FMA and others*







There are several series that almost or did make me cry a little. In Full Metal Alchemist, when Hughes dies was sad, but when his daughter started asking where her dad was brought a few tears to my eyes. In Wolf's Rain, the end was sad as well when they started dying, especially when Cher dies and Toboe is killed. In Trigun, it was when Nicholas D. Wolfwood was in the church and dies and the music made it sadder. Also there were some touching nearly sad parts that happened in Android Kikaider: the Animation. And also in Naruto, when the third Hokage died giving his life to stop Orochimaru. There are others but I can't think of them at the moment.

I think kimi ga nozomu eien, air, naruto and elfen lied were really, really sad. ok, now spoilers for them
*SPOILERS*




























Naruto, there are enough moments. Mostly the ones where they play that piano tune. Got to love that tune.
Kimi ga nozomu eien, the whole story was so sad. But the saddest parts were when she was hit by a car, when she woke up and didn't remember a thing, then got in a coma again.
Air, the ending. It was so sad that she died.
Elfen lied, just almost every episode

Elfin lied is sad in places but mine would be
Bleach.... not sure why...lol

I found pretear really sad. And I found the last episode of Cardcaptor Sakura sad!!!!! Pretear is sadder though...

AIR was the saddest anime I ever watched...
I usually LOVE re-watching anime that I completed over and over again, but whenever I think of AIR, I end up cringing away from it...
not that it's bad. but it just stabs your heart.

I found pretear really sad. And I found the last episode of Cardcaptor Sakura sad!!!!! Pretear is sadder though...


do you mean right before everything turns out ok because absolutely everyone, even the baddies, live happily ever after at the end of pretear...but i think i know what you mean in those moments where you though she really might not wake up. ;_;

I have to say Gundam Seed. The fact alot of "important ones" died in the battles. And it was really rarely expected.

Wolf's Rain

Elfen Lied. Ive just finished it, and it was for sure the saddest one Ive ever seen. Almost every episode and every character was sad. A tear left my eye at the end

Haibane Renmei was a very sad show



elfen lied was quite sad as well

so was Gundam Seed

i think Grave of Fireflies is the saddest movie.
the story about relationship between two orphaned children...

The part where Char... damn, not book, anime! IT'S JUST ANIME! *smacks myself*


This may sound odd, but:


*spoiler*

















Onmyou Taisenki, where

1) Onishiba fades away (you can't really say die)
2) At the end, where a few of our favorite characters part with their shikigami

Yes, I haven't watched many tear-jerking anime.

The Samurai X (Rurouni Kenshin) Trust & Betrayal OVA. One of the best I've seen, too. It was beautiful and sad and just plain fantastic.

Here we go with tha spoilers.........



















Nothing is sadder than the end of CHrno Crusade. Nothing. NOTHING. Don't even waste time. A mighty muscleman such as myself even cried.

wow. this thread's full of spoilers.

the saddest anime for me is grave of the fireflies. it made me cry.

Jesus! I was reading post after post w8n for this one!.... Finally someone ELSE who knows about Grave of the Fireflies.... dude it chokes me up every time... I had to remind myself it's anime not a movie or real life hehehe

ALso, I think Kiminozo (Rumbling Hearts) is pretty fukd up in terms of how sad you'll feel

Dragonball GT (LOL) Goku never came back.....

Wolf's Rain.

I regret reading this thread... I just spoilt a lot of series for myself lol :(

Gungrave.

If anyone saw it...then you know what i'm talking about.

Key, The Metal Idol
Maison Ikkoku
Naruto
Project A-ko

Watching Death Note has made me immune to any emotional impact related to character deaths.

DYNAMIC SNACKING!

I guess Metropolis and Grave of the Fireflies would take the cake for me when it comes to heart-pulling moments.

-Mikeymike360

I thought Wolf's Rain was pretty sad, along with some parts of Hagaren and Death Note.

Chobits Made Me Cry :'(

[spoilers]




-1st epi of naruto, when sasuke "died" in the fight with haku cos he protected dumb naruto.
-when hinaichigo died in rozen maiden 2
-when chrno and rosette died in chrno crusade
-fruits basket, the tiger's story
-when D.N.Angel ended!
actually most of the anime i watch, i will cry... =X

Wolf's Rain


*spoiler*
EVERYONE died, that was very depressing

seed was sad too, when Mu La Flaga "died"

and Death Note of course

I'm not much of an anime person, but my friend made me watch the entire Full Metal Alchemist series (including the movie) and there were definitely a few things in there that made me sad. One time I actually did cry (yes! I cried!). And definitely Wolf's Rain. I know Initial D is a drift racing anime, but there were a few things in there that did seem sad.

Defenetly Wolfs Rain

T_T.....so sad and .....no Wonder if you have Yoko Kanno XD

Hmm...I'm going to say the end of the Berserk series. Awfully depressing. -_-;

I just remembered about Samurai X.

Damn that was sad.

Kanon, I mean, do you know how many sad moments they put for each bloody character? And yet, it never gets old. :)

Ending of Berserk, too. :( I mean, wow, it screamed "To be Continued". =_=

I thought DNAngel's ending was pretty sad...; ;

Kanon, I mean, do you know how many sad moments they put for each bloody character? And yet, it never gets old. :)

Ending of Berserk, too. :( I mean, wow, it screamed "To be Continued". =_=

Berserk did make me sad for many reasons but that was one of them. There is always the manga since it doesn't seem like they will be continuing that anime dispite all the rumors I've heard.

Well, the rumors are at least partly true. There are people who want to do it. The problem is getting the money. After all, the content of the show past that point would go way beyond what could be shown on TV, so it makes getting a production budget tough.

*Spoiler*






















In Bleach, when Ichigo was little and walking places with his mother, something mysterious was behind them. Ichigo was scared and a Halo killed his Mother. *tear* Poor little Ichigo.

Well, the rumors are at least partly true. There are people who want to do it. The problem is getting the money. After all, the content of the show past that point would go way beyond what could be shown on TV, so it makes getting a production budget tough.

Yea, I've heard about the whole budget thing. Also heard a lot of other stuff.
One was that all the people that worked on the original anime were all off doing different projects. The other one, this one being more believable, was that the creator of Berserk wanted to finish the Berserk manga before he decided to continue it. I somehow believe he will just start from scratch since some characters were omitted from the anime. BUT if the rumor about the budget is true then that doesn't seem like it's gonna happen.

The last two episodes of Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~, please.

I have to say Grave of the Fireflies. I can only watch it once a year because it leaves me distraught. Millenium Actress had me crying like a sucker-punched girl. Saikano is very moving and Haibane Renmei really plucks those heart strings...

Talking about sad anime...
I guess I prefer "Shingetsutan Tsukihime" or "Fate/Stay Night"
Both has an ending that may tear your heart...

probibly Naruto.
around eps. 131-136 or7-ish
if you haven't already, watch em' and you'll see what I mean.

there's some good action in those too, so it's not all sad.

Gundam SEED & Destiny. SAD :(

My God... Get your head out of Gundam's ass and talk about something else.

My God... Get your head out of Gundam's ass and talk about something else.

::despises Seed and Seed Destiny::

Cowboy Bebop; Ed leaves and the last fight with Spike and Vicious...almost made me cry, but not really...

cowboy bebop, when ed leaves, faye remembers her past, spike dies, and everything leading up to the end.
kodocha (or kodo no omocha) when akito leaves.

oh, spoilers. =)

Cyborg 009's ending really made me cry.....alot......strangely. It was quite saddening.

Saddest for me?

Gundam SEED Destiny, just because it started with so much potential and turned into a Jesus Yamato Circle Jerk.

Wait, that's not saddness, it's RAGE!

there were many shows that i saw that made me feel kinda sad *spoiler free*

koi kaze (the plot and the irony at the last episode)
jigoku shoujo (both season's ending)
the place promised in our early days (this one made me tear a little)
full moon wo sagashite (ending)
shingetsutan tsukihime (ending)
kashimashi ~girl meets girl~ (last 3 episodesi, i'd rather pretend the ova never existed)
byosoku 5 centimetres (watched onli the first part though)
elfen lied (the sad ending left me in tears)
cowboy bebop (faye's ending haunted me for a while)

Cowboy Bebop gave me a strange, deep sad feeling, like loosing a good friend or something. Also listening to the OSTs alone gives me the blues.

Grave of the Fireflies was one of the saddest I've seen in awhile, Voices of a Distant Star comes in a close second though.

*major spoiler for cowboy bebop series and movie*














cowboy bebop is the ultimate in sad. in the movie when the lady kills her love thinking he would shot her and they could be together but he remembers he loves her and tells her it almost made me bawl and as for the series. the saddest part was not the end it was how that whore julia broke up vicious and spike's friendship, and when the saxaphonist died. basically the only happy parts were when julia died and thethe part at the end where spike and vicious were taken to the hospital and resumed their friendship. (i know they didn't show it but it happened they just forgot to end the series)

y u fagets cryin over chinese cartoons? real men downt cry, you fukin queer bags. only time crying is warranted was when dale earndheart died
don't worry i won't get mad at you for being rude and a pompous ass its obviously because your gay and scared of others knowing that and the fact that your size is like 2 inches long. stop being an ass and making fun of others likes and dislikes just beacause your a retard.

Why the fuck are you making a double post to reply to someone who made one damn post six fucking months ago and hasn't been seen since? Don't do that.

Well, the saddest anime I've watched from beginning to end, would have to be Air (By Key Studios)...

Some other anime I have watched, also have sad endings, but that one in particular...

Fullmetal Alchemist (the series not including the movie!!!)

Pokemon

Naruto episode 19....

~If possible.... i'd like to go to the same place you're going to.... *sadness and sorrow.mp3 which, of course, i can perfectly play on keyboard :]*

God... best dramatic scene i'ver ever seen in my life.

Too many classic sad scenes in anaime and gaming... Final Fantasy tactics made me cry at the end, and I was pretty shocked and saddened throughout the entire game as you watched several very human characters get killed off or suffer a loss so suddenly at every turn. Delita, Ovelia, and Ramza's tragedy's being the foremost as the most saddening of it all.

Other notable one's are Tekkaman's Blade's story, and what happened to all his freinds and family. The fate of his sister was most haunting of them all.

Guyver had a number of sad tragedy's too, both in manga and in Anime. They were simple, but overly complex, any one who remembers the Tragedy of Enzyme II, Murikami's life are good examples.

Coyboy bebop, well you've people already spoiled that one, and Trigun (anime) as well.

Devilman, if you don't know how it ends, then try and locate the anime or manga ending... it was a horribly sad event, especialy with his girlfriend and bestfriend.

"X" though it's incomplete, and them both the movie and anime were too damn short, every character has a tragedy, and I've sure there is at least one scene you'd cry over.

Ninja Gaiden for the NES, had one of the sadder moments in early NES story telling. Ryu and his father's struggle's are sad, especialy with all the effort Ryu put into avenging his father's death, only to be forced o fight him later. Afterwords... you're going to have to play the game.

i would have to say that
grave of the fireflies
is one of the saddest animes made
i cry when ever i turn it on

other than that i would have to say
neon genesis evangelion altogethers is a sad series
how much eveyone suffers
and how shinji dose nothing at all

Naruto for me.

I somehow doubt those who have watched Naruto dont know this, but Ill post a spoiler warning anyway.

*SPOILERS*














































When Zabuza and Haku died.

*sigh* Grave of the Fireflies definitely, followed by Haibane Renmei.

chobits

.hack// Roots
*spoilers*






Episode 13 : When Shino Was Data Drained By Azure Kite (Not Named Tri-Edge) Haseo Lost Someone Close To Him And Only Cares About Her And Only Her. Also Shown In The Game To: .hack //GU Vol.1 Rebirth

From what I remember, I cried watching two animes.

In Naruto, it was pretty sad and upsetting when Naruto was an outcast in the village and Gaara's childhood.

Fruit Basket was just sad.

basilisk

yo my first post!
I'm mainly a manga man, but the saddest anime has got to be AIR!
for those of you who have watched it, you know what I mean... :(

hokuto no ken, its sad to see every one of ken friends get wasted, but u know it is to be expected, lol

The saddest anime for me has to be Air. I cried through half the series. [couldn't describe the situations without spoiling the series for those who didn't finish it.]

air at the endding
and kanon is just so sad

one show i'm never seeing again is KNGE that's just so sad when i think about it i just cry

"Tomb for Fireflies"

A masterpiece from Ghigli Studios, and the saddest anime I've ever seen.

Hmm...for me...I wont say what the moments are in specific, but here's my list.

Sailor Moon
NANA
Fruits Basket
Orphen
Revolutionary Girl Utena
Ouran High School Host Club
Rurouni Kenshin (Thankfully Seisouhen wasn't the REAL ending, but I still bawled after)
Scrapped Princess

I'm sure there's more, I cry at happy moments and sad ones too ^_^

i found elfen lied rather sad
and some naruto episodes

No doubt about it... the saddest anime I ever watched was definitely AIR.

It's one of the most beautiful series I have ever seen, and it's only 13 episodes long, but it left a lasting impression on me.

AIR is my top favorite, and I have yet to see an anime that could go beyond this.

Go watch it if you already haven't... you'll see what I'm talking about.

This one Episode of Noir called "Lost Kitten" when Mireille had to kill the old man who was taking care of a lost kitten...but i guess the old man as done bad things in the past so Mireille has to kill him...on that moment made me sad and close to crying.

*SPOILER*









chrno crusade when chrno and rossette die it's like the all time sad ending for me :'( *sob*

blood+

i always thought the brother and sister were gonna get together, but alas

The end of Macross Plus when Bowman gives his life to take out the prototype and he gives the little speech about friendship and honor, made me cry. sniff.

Definitely Grave of the Fireflies and Elfen Lied for me so far.

Grave of the Fireflies and Elfen Lied were quite depressing for me too. Byousoku 5 Centimete is also an extremely sad movie.
Also, I found some scenes from Neon Genesis Evangelion to be quite depressing, but I didn't find the series generally sad

*spoiler*

















Spike dying in Bebop was so sad, that song at the end really gets me. Also Wolf's Rain, after Cher dies it's starts a string of depressing events and deaths. God, Toboe dying, I cried forever after that and nearly stopped watching the series. But it was too good to stop.

Elfen Lied for me.

Saikano. Just pure sadness.

Now this is one of my favorite animes, but Evengelion is the saddest anime for me. Very depressing at the end of the films (I won't tell :p).


Also Magic Knights Rayearth is also another one of my favorites, but had alot of sad parts to it. Just to be spoiler safe, I also won't tell :P. Also X 1999 the movie.

cyborg 009 - the cyborg soldier

During 'Strawberry Panic!' :(
Maria-Sama Ga Miteru aswell, some parts...

Probably Gundam 0080. The classic star-crossed lovers theme was heartrending.

AIR's ending for me is the saddest i've seen.

Dog of Flanders, anyone?...

Deathnote..I wish it would of turned out a little different ..for my hero Light

I'd definately have to say Kanon. The 2006 version is not only better looking, but also rapes you more emotionally lol. All i can say is, lots of tear-jerking moments, lots of heart-squeezing moments, and overall, its like the storywriter wanted to inflict utter despair right up until the last moment on the last episode.. lol. The ending is good, and for those who seen it but might not have noticed, theres a certain fox in the background just before the credits start playing.. :3 its Makoto

Rurouni Kenshin..

Because it was a crappy ending to a good show
same goes to Gantz
:-[

Well NANA was pretty damn sad if you ask me. The ending didn't satisfy me at all, it felt unfinished. Loved the show though.

Deffinetly Air Summer.

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien

and a bit the end of chrno crusade

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien



I agree, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (Rumbling Hearts in the US) had a few extremely sad moments, even after watching it twice I still couldnt keep a few tears from sliding out when *SPOILER* Takayuki and Haruka finally part ways *END SPOILER*, that is one damn tear jerking moment.

But my choice for saddest anime series I've ever watched definetly has to be TWIN SPICA, a not-so-known 20 episode series about a girl, Asumi, who dreams of becoming an astronaut and manages to enter the space academy (actually my avatar comes from this show). Almost every episode where you have flashbacks of Asumi's childhood is sure to bring you to tears at some point or another, or if you just want to play it brave and not cry, you'll be choking on the knot that will build inside your throat. So if you haven't seen this show yet, I hope you manage to find it! (it was never released stateside)

Fullmetal Alchemist made me sob D:

gonna watch this one(torrent and rapidshare premium ftw^^)

cowboy bebop (death is always sad)my favorit anime ever
Jin Roh another sad anime movie

death note

i dont get it who feel sad for Light??
In first episodes he promised to punish only those who deserve it but in the end he killed everybody even his father !!!
He become what he so dispised a MURDERer . The only way for someone like him was death but the death of L was really unpridicable

Elfen Lied is my favorite and one of the saddest ones I've seen. The first anime I ever cried about was Pokemon the First Movie near the end... :P

Before I saw Elfen Lied, the only other anime that jerked a tear or so from me was Yu Yu Hakusho when Kuwabara goes to Yusuke's funeral and still wants to fight him (well, I thought it was sad, anyway...).

Full Metal Alchemist and Elfen Lied were both quite sad for me I cried a little for Elfen Lied

I thought the OVA for Rurouni Kenshin was pretty sad, telling of his old life as a killer. Shows how people can do evil while thinking they have gd intentions.

My most recent memory of a fairly sad anime was Myself; Yourself. It didn't end sadly at the very end, but the people were pretty miserable. And many of them were pretty messed up psychologically.

I shamelessly admit that the anime I cried most while watching was Ai Yori Aoshi, somewhere around the last eight episodes of the first season. It wasn't even that sad-- it just moved me somehow.

I have seen Kimi ga Nozumu Eien, as mentioned recently, but it wasn't painful to me in a sad way. It was painful to me in a grating way.

AIR (TV) the last episode of the series was sad and same with the scene where Michiru says good-bye to Minagi.

Full Metal Alchemist - Elysia and her father's funeral

Grave of the Fireflies.

I cried. I cried alot, that movie was really just so depressing. As well, I'm a big WWII buff, and that didn't help any.

Yeah, Grave Of The Fireflies was pretty sad.

AIR (TV) the last episode of the series was sad and same with the scene where Michiru says good-bye to Minagi.


I actually cried a lot at that scene.

Just watched all 26 sessions of Cowboy Beebop over like 3 days and must say that is the saddest for me (not hard give that I have only watched two others lol)

**SPOILERS** though nothing that hasn't already been said..




















I was the saddedest when Ein died rather than every else, wait, that never happened.

But seriously, I think Spike dying made sense in the whole scheme of the series. I was sadder when Ed and Ein left. Basically, because at this point Faye had already left and it sort of felt like the team was breaking up (which of course they were).

I really felt like I had connected with them, ya know?

The sadess was chobits to me...

Yea, Chobits is saddie, I Cried many times, Overall the Episode 21, That is a SAD episode in all the word. However, it haves a happy ending

For games, Yea, FF7 Is Sad, along with KH and FFX

yea dat shit was sad when kenshin accidentally killed tomoe :(

yea dat shit was sad when kenshin accidentally killed tomoe :(


I could only watch that anime once Lol. It was too depressing. I watched it at my friend's house and I was like "I'm going home." Long-sad-walk back to my house Lol.

I never finished Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien but it was pretty sad after that over the top tragic accident. But after a while it just got annoying imo.

AIR In Episode 12, saddest scene where Misuzu Kamio is walking toward Yukito Kunisaki & Haruko Kamio. Music plays is Blue Skies. The other is Clannad: The Movie. The scene where Nagisa Furukawa walking upward to hill toward Nagisa parent carrying Ushio with Tomoya Okazaki.:(

I wuz also heated when pain/pein killed jiraiya :(

The ending of Chrno Trigger. The only Anime so far which made me cry.

I can name these three:

Ginban Kaleidoscope:

I literally broke into tears with the ending (first time!). Well, Pete was a ghost that only possessed Sakurano for a hundred days.

School Days:

It was sad because of the killings of Makuto and Sekai. Why the heck does it have to be that way?!?! Now, Kotonoha is left alone.

GateKeepers 21:

Simply because it was too short and a lot of questions were still left unanswered while also putting and big period on the GateKeepers.

Spoiler~
















Not sure if anyone mentioned this anime but for me it had to be gun grave, cause brandon lost everything to his best friend and still couldnt put himself up to killing him cause they were like family and both him and harry ended up dying in the end

*Spoiler*

























Yeah same goes here trigun was a sad anime yet funny at some point but cowboy bebop was sadder cause spike dies.....

Oh, I don't know about that. Sure, Spike gets sliced like 5 times, but is he really dead? Spike Spiegel...... I remember him collapsing. That dosn't mean he is dead.
Not only that i have heard rumors of a 2nd Season, or at least a couple more episodes that ties everything up.
See you Space Cowboy!

The saddest anime i've ever watched was Elfen lied.
Kanon and Air were very sad too

The saddest Anime I watched was Grave of Fireflies. I had to hold the tears in when the movie came to an end.

For me, the saddest anime is Rozen Maiden. One of the characters (a magical wind-up doll) dies a slow sad death >sigh<.

Saddest Anime??

Rurouni Kenshin - Seisouhen

Saddest for me was Chrno Crusade. The last episodes were killer

I found the ending of Ayashi No Ceres to be very sad... I cried for a full half hour or so at the end, and also the part somewhere near the middle when Aya runs into the forest after Touya doesn't recognise her, and she cries so hard...Made me sad.

Air and Grave of the Fireflies for me.

the saddest anime.............. for me it was 5 centimeters per second

AirTV, I cried, I cried HARD at the ending. It was just so sad.

Well I guess I can lighten the mood at my expense; it's kinda embarassing for me to say this, but it's the only thing I can think of at the moment. For me the saddest anime was......


*Somewhat Insignificant Spoiler*







The original Pokemon episodes, the one where Butterfree leaves the crew. I freakin' cried over that scene, but in my defense I was just a kid. Although there were other times that made me feel sad. OKAY NOW GO AHEAD AND LAUGH AT ME!! HAVE A CHUCKLE AND BE DONE WITH IT YOU INSENSITIVE B****RDS!!!!
Then again considering the topic insensitive might not be the best word to use on you guys lol :)

Lol, not gonna laugh at you, just your defensive stance. Too be honest, that was a very touching scene and I still have the music from that scene in my computer and I listen to it every so often because of it's beauty. Now if you cried because because James stopped wearing those fake boobs and a bikini, then that would be worthy of redicule. (episode when Team Rocket member James entered a female bikini contest... weird)

Hokuto No Ken TV series was depressing for me. I watched the movie years before the TV series so I kinda knew what was going to happen to some of the characters........but it was still very depressing to watch those characters (and others) die.

Galaxy Expess 999 movie......the scene with Tetsuro and his mom.....

Giant Robo had a lot of sad scenes.

Grave of the Fireflies would probably take the title of Saddest anime of all time...........if I ever choose to watch it. :sad:

Bambi and Lassy all fell before the very sadness inherent in Trigun. That was the first character death that made me cry.

I watched the last episode of Serial Experiments Lain last night, and have to say I thought the ending was pretty depressing. I immediately found myself thinking "so basically after everything this character's been through and had to find out about herself throughout the story, that's how things end up for her?"

I personally found it pretty sad, as had been hoping things would take a more optimistic turn.
Still an interesting ending - and show - imo though!

Tekken Kinkreet's ending was filled with sorrow and caused a tear or two to shed... definitely a great film!

When L died in Death Note...

For me, Grave of the fireflies.

One of the best anti-war anime or animation of the 20th century.

The character.
The environment.
The story.
The song.

All is tragedy.

(I will try byousoku 5 centimeters when I have time. I listened to the song and it was very sad.)

FOR ME IT HAS TO BE GUNGRAVE

Air

that one left me feeling pretty sad

Fullmetal alchemist, the ending to mononoke hime (miyazaki bastard, why couldn't they end together), code geass (see episode 13 of the second season), darker than black, X-1999 in all of its presentations, CLOVER manga.

Saddest for me was Chrno Crusade. The last episodes were killer

Man,I'm quite agree with this. The scene where Rosette cried in the end before he and Chrono....

Kinda agree too with Rurouni Kenshin Seisouhen. I never expect that the end would be that way.

Hmmm....mine would maybe be Elfen Lied for now. The murder scene in the train, and the scene in the final episode where this guy died with her daughter

the saddest anime.............. for me it was 5 centimeters per second

Yeah! I'm a sucker for the cliche romantic movies and such, but Makoto Shinkai is a brilliant director imo, and his stuff just reels you in. I was really upset during this, as well as in Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo. Both good movies

hands down it goes to Saikano, a close second for me is Grave of the Fireflies

Excel Saga. A part of me died within five minutes of starting up that... thing.

I wept for days.

So far it's Higurashi no naku koro ni just because I found it sad when they had to go through the same cycles over and over again.

5 centimeters per second... I found myself so inside the movie that I couldn't sleep, and until now I just can't take out of me that deep felling of loneliness...

The story is so... similar of mine.

Anyway! a constructive critic, the final scene is so wonderful except the song... I think it had nothing to do with the entire way of expression. It's even loud and the singer is... sad.... the good part is the lyrics, they are just fine

Trigun was sad but Cowboy Bebop got me more. :(
