What's the saddest anime you've ever saw? Y'know one that made you cry like

I want some reccomendation please.

Rurouni Kenshin OVAs

yeah that one where u get to see his son and how he got old is totally sad... reflections or emotion was it?? damn the theme they played too

Fushigi Yuugi.

nothing comes close to Grave of the Fireflies in terms of sadness.

video girl ai?

Now and Then, Here and There

Air TV by far.

+1

Of course you have to see the whole series or read the mangas first. The OVA's were events leading the person we know him as in the tv Series and the Seisiouhens (sp?) is the conclusion to his saga. Really sad since you see this great character beat down by a real to life disease. Not to mention the distant relationship he shared with Kaoru. I have never watched an anime that was so based on emotions before. There was no fighting scenes (except for flashbacks) and they were only portrayed to show his qualities and mannerisms.

Then there's the facial features that were drawn. Pure magic. Whoever the artist is he does very good work. Especially that part where Sano throws Kenshin the fish and it just drops to the ground. The way Sano's eyes just sink is friggin' incredible for an anime. Anybody know what other works this artist did?

Over-rated.


The saddest anime ever? Fruits Basket has some amazingly sad parts to it and there is a certain element of melancholy all the way through if you pay attention. Otherwise, I'd recommend Cowboy Bebop for certain episodes.

Those are the only ones that have moved me in such a way really.

imo, every anime series has sad parts in them. i haven't watched any anime in a while but i remember Naruto was sad.....when they were chasing Sasuke and every good guy was dying. it would show their life stories and stuff before they "die".

i'd have to say Chrono Crusade, great storyline with a sad ending...brought tears to my eyes
Should definitely take a look at it if you haven't seen ti already

Thanks for the recommendations I'll check em out someday.

Oh and One Piece are certain times. Probably before they overdid episodes 100 plus.

Fruit Basket.

Not if you watch the ENGLISH version

Goddamn, the little girl's voice was an annoying lady.

I have to agree with you

so many..
plots about love may be most common.such as the last weapon girl
Some animes about friendship are quite well too,For instance..Gungrave

off course kimi ga nozumein

awww u beat me to it. I saw that when i was 15 in Japanese class. it was really sad.

I didn't like that movie. It wasn't sad for me at all.

agreed - Grave of the Fireflies

omg....... that movie was so sad i couldn't watch it again... even though i didn't cry or anything

^^that image is it storm riders no?

Do you know " Hutatuno Spica"( Twin Spica) ?
I think it's not famous in America...

fullmoon wo saga$hite!!!!

I haven't see Grave of the Fireflies or Now and then, Here and There or whatever, but KGNE was the most god damn depressing thing I've ever seen. I had the life sucked out of me for like 2 or 3 days. I just felt drained.

I would have to agree with you

I have to agree with you.

so Air TV is good?.. i must download!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hmm...full metal alchemist and last exile!!

*Oh and Kenshin, jinchuu arc [of the manga]! Screw ova's mann....

Wolf's Rain for me. But then again I haven't seen a ton of animes. None of the ones mentioned here except Full Metal and Cowboy Bebop via Adult Swim.

^spike went down like a sav
^^last exile sad? i dont know about that
another one would be one of my favorites: rah-xephon the relationship with ayato and haruka

When The Wind Blows




an old couple faced with nuclear war with no real understanding of the implications. most of the sorrow you feel is for their lack of knowledge of whats to come.

yes it was oh btw if you want to d/l it go here it has all the episodes and some specials too

air ,the story of the little sick girl was so

saikano great anime btw!!!!!

i hate slow animes...they make u wait and wait and wait

how bout frantic frustrated female???

Naruto - Definitly sad cuz' he jus smile in pain.



Some one gotta agree wif me

I just watched Grave of the Fireflies yesterday. It made me tear.

I agree that Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is pretty depressing as well.

Y'know what I've just finishing watchin Air last night and really enjoyed it. Yes it was definately sad
And I love the music.

grave of the fireflies
Oseam (korean)
naruto (some parts)
One Piece (every backflash, character story can put me to tears especially Nami's)

Yes! You should dl Air TV! The summer specials and movie aren't that good though.
KGNE and Chrno Chrusade are two sad animes I would recommend.

Naruto, because it is so bad.

But seriously, One Piece is a really good mention if you stop watching it before it becomes rubbish.

Grave of the Fireflies is supposed to be sad, but like others here I wasn't moved by it... maybe because it was too easy to see what the director was trying to do.

Then again I can't think of any sad anime besudes GOTF.

Kenshin OVA

for me it was Elfen Lied...
yeah I cried... sometimes human can be so heartless and cruel...

Voices of a Distant Star is sad!! .. And beautiful!!

i cried during the episode where sailor moon finally vanquished that evil queen barrel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
