Saddest moments in anime

[Legion]

Spoiler: Elfen Lied

Lucy's past and her supposed death near the end. Hell most of the anime is pretty sad.

Spoiler: Code Geass R2

Lelouch's death, realising that every bad thing he did, he did with the intention of dying and destroying Britannia. Not forgetting Nunnally's first sight within years being him dying at her feet.

 

[sabbat]

elfen lied. death of karuma and number 35. i know they're both antagonists, but it's sad all the same because it's the only time he tells her he loves her.

 

[Scobie]

DELETED

 

[Elonas]

The ending of Code Geass R2, soooo sad .

 

[Lightbinded]

Most all the backstory in Elfen Lied. Especially Nyuu's.

 

[StrangerMouse]

The last scene of Serial Experiments Lain. If you've seen it, then you'll know what I'm talking about. So sad, yet so beautiful.

 

[Korten12]

it saddens me no one mentioned one piece.

OT:

Spoiler

the burning of the marry go in One Piece.

 

[Shadowfaze]

That episode of pokemon where Pikachu goes to live with his own kind, or the episode of Gundam Wing where Heero blows himself up in his gundam and lies there in a pool of blood, just staring, surrounded by bits of smoking metal.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

Bang.

 

[Blueruler182]

When the characters survive. That's why I don't watch that far...

Nah, I'm kidding. I don't watch a whole hell of a lot, but the saddest moment for me is in Elfen Lied when SPOILER ALERT FROM HERE ON OUT the homocidal telekinetic with a split personality tells the useless man of the series that she loves him and has to go die. The music that kicked in for that, and I think there was a flashback, it just all added up to choke me up.

 

[[Kira Must Die]]

Elfen Lied.

The whole damn thing.

 

[Steel_crab]

Grave of the Fireflies is one of the saddest films I have ever watched. It took My Neighbour Totoro to cheer me back up again.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

4 minutes in, Oh my god. So awesome.


Calumon: So sad..

Real men die with style.

 

[TheFacelessOne]

The beginning!

Ba dum, tish!!

...

OT: When Aang gets shot in the back by Azula in the Season Finale of Book 2.

 

[Amberella]

Spoiler: Full Metal Alchemist

In Full Metal Alchemist when Scou Tucker used Nina (his daugheter) and Alexander (their dog) to make a Chimera. And then at the end of the episode, Scar kills her. It was so sad, I cry everytime I see that episode.

 

[superbatranger]

]Elfen Lied.

The whole damn thing.

Damn it.

Spoiler

Why did those kids have to kill her dog?! Why?! I honestly had to stop watching for a few moments. Didn't help that my dog had recently passed away.

 

[Thaius]

Clannad: After Story.

ALL OF IT.

And seriously, people, at least use spoiler tags. These moments aren't nearly so sad if you already know what's going to happen.

 

[JuryNelson]

When

Spoiler

pretty much the entire cast died except for Kei in Gantz. Katou was amazing and the way he died along with the clips of his little brother wandering around lost were soul shattering.

God that was so sad.

In the manga

Spoiler

Kei brings Katou back, but when it happens, there's still tears coming from his eyes. It's heartbreaking all over again.
