I was watching the Disgaea anime, and while it's a pretty funny show, the implications of the last two episodes is really depressing. Laharl is revealed to act like he does by masking his pain at the suicide of his mother with humor at the suffering of others, since she sacrificed her own life to save her son's life from illness, he's distrusted love ever since. And his mother got turned into a Prinny because in the Disgaea mythos taking one's own life is considered a pretty big sin. The Prinny Afterlife episode was pretty sad enough, then the Seraphim who Flonne works for goes all Watchmen/Ozymandias and constructed a plan in which he intended the fighting over the Netherworld to resolve conflict between Earth and Celestia alike. It gets complicated, but what makes it even more depressing is that Flonne is punished by death in a sense and Laharl, as it is implied, kills himself and sacrifices his own life so Flonne can live again as a fallen angel. Then you see Laharl as a Prinny, which confirms in a very subtle sense that he's committed the same "sin" as his mother to save somebody he loved. For ten minutes I couldn't stop crying.
Similar think happened when I watched Midnight Cowboy, which is more conventionally sad and socially acceptable to cry openly about the ending. What have you seen, read, watched or played or listened to, that made a grown man (or woman) cry like a baby?
