I haven't seen a thread like this yet, so I'll just start one. I'll list mine.

-Akemi's death in Saikano (IMO saddest moment ever in anime)
-3rd Hokage's death in Naruto
-Lucy remembering her past (interpretations of it, not the actual flashback) in Elfen Lied

the saddest moment in naruto is when sakura dies

I totally agree with anime050 on this. This is just going to be a giant spoiler of series for people who haven't seen series that people havn't seen.

Didn't consider the spoiler part, so I guess it'll be pretty hard to get around that for a topic like this. I wonder which forum this should belong in.

No were?
I guess......... put a spoiler tag in the title?

I'll just name the series, cos I can't even remember what particular parts I found sad...the ones I remember had numerous sad parts anyway...

X TV and Elfen Lied are the ones I remember most...heard Grave of the Fireflies is extremely sad as well, bought that a while ago but I've still not got round to watching it...

I got kind of emotional over the Battle of Bridge arc in Naruto. Those were the best episodes of the series.
I felt bad for Vash a million times in Trigun. Poor bloke.
The ending to Gungrave was beautifully done.
Oh, and I agree about Spike's death. That was an awesome ending to that series.
Evengelion was a terribly depressing series with only faint glimmers of hope.

That's about it, I guess.

Sat, 02-26-2005, 01:37 PM

AHHHH spike dies!!!! i never got to see the last episode....
i thought the zabuza and haku was pretty sad.

Cowboy Bebop - when spike dies.
He was the coolest character.

Elfen Lied when all those people die at the end and Evangelion the last episode when Asuka dies?

Raven

Putting a spoiler tag in this topic does absolutely nothing, because there's no way you can possibly know what you are being spoiled about. I haven't yet watched Cowboy Beebop (yes, kill me if you want) and now I know what happens in the end. I think this should definitely be locked.

Gunslinger Girls when Claes mind went dead.....
Actually all the girls had a sad story behind them, especially Henrietta.

Tch.

It's simple, really. If you don't want to see a spoiler, you don't have to read this thread. i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

And Spike's death at the end of Bebop... definitely saddest yet coolest ending ever, IMHO. Zabuza and Haku's story was rough too.

all you guys have to do to preven this is put a spoiler warning in your post with the anime you are gonna spoil, for example...

Spoilers for Chrno Crusade

When Chrno and Rossette die together

End Spoilers for Chrno Crusade

simple no?

damn that sucks major ass. now i want to go see chrno crusade really bad. also a really sad moment is during the chunin exam in naruto. when both naruto and sasuke is knoced out and the sound nins come. it was a really major break through moment for sakura. i like the "look at my back" episode. that's not really what it's called i think.

By that logic nobody should ever read this thread. No one person has seen every series ever.

the sadest moment is when any good series ends or ends too soon.

Heh. What do you mean, "Nobody should ever read this thread"? I don't mind spoilers, hence, why I read. I was merely remarking on the people complaining about animes they've not seen completely being spoled. Tch.

I stand with my original statement. If you don't want to see a spoiler, you don't have to read the thread. Those of us who don't mind... feel free. i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

The ending of Samurai 7 really got to me. Seeing those graves with the swords sticking up. Thats what i call a sad ending.

The saddest moment to me was near the end of hikaru no go when the hikaru lost his friend and couldnt find him, really sad.

Mae

Yeah, I found all those scenes where he was searching in every plce he could think of very sad/sweet.

As for the saddest part of any series I will have to go with the end of Cowboy Bebop too... But not just for the death. What really got me was that through the whole series Spike wasn't really living... One of the things I loved about this anime was Spike's free spirit and Devil-may-care attitude, just going day to day seeing what the next day will bring. The voice actor did a great job of putting this into his speech (one of the reasons I don't like the english dub), he always sounded like he was slightly amused by everything going on around him... But in the end you find out that he had a care-free attitude because he really DIDN'T care... because he felt that his life was already over and he was just watching a dream... I found this even sadder then him knowingly going to his death.

Although that last scene was pretty damn sad too (Me: No! Spike-kun! Wah ;_; !!! Roommate who doesn't watch anime : WTF is wrong with you? Me: WAH!!!! Roommate: OMG, why I am always stuck with the crazy ones...)

my votes to when spike dies... one of the few times watching someone die has made me sad and when wolfwood dies althought that wasnt so much.... still pissed because they were my fav. chars though why couldnt they kill someone else!

Wow, this thread suddenly got revitalized.

Anyways, I watched Gungrave a week ago. The part of the flashback in the ending where Harry and Brandon first meet at the orphanage was very sad.

-"Hi! I'm Harry MacDowel. What's your name?"
-"Brandon...Brandon Heat."

I was gonna post when this thread was started...but didn't...but i'll agree with half the ppl in here --> Spike: "Bang" *then falls to ground*.

Another one that nearly drew a tear was in Scrapped Princess when her mother was in the cell beside her.

Lastly, in One Piece, Nami's past, enough said.

I still gotta say Spike was saddest.

Spoilers for Chrno Crusade and FMA.

Nothing is more sadder then seeing Rosetta confess to Chrno that she really didn't wanna die and that all she wanted was a little more time to live. What makes it even more sad is the fact that during the whle series she accepted death till the time came.

This might've just been sad for me but Hughes being killed in FMA was sad to me cause he was such a great character.

Double ROFL with cheese @ Mut's pic too

And yeah, as someone said, Grave of the fireflies is very sad. I actually cried when sawing it, granted I was a few years younger.. but I'd probably cry today too i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

Saddest moments in anime would have to be these three:
*WARNING SPOILERS*

Spike's death at the end of Cowboy Beebop (julia's too but mainly spike)
Woolfwood's death in Trigun (the conversation between merryl and millie arterwards was sad too)
Kimishima's death in s-CRY-ed (kazuma just kept on walking)

ChaosK

Sun, 03-20-2005, 10:09 PM

yeah i'll go with spike's death in beepbob and wolfwoods death in trigun. also i wuz thinkinig about lik the final episode of gundam seed (not destiny) where everybody dies, its confusing but for some reason triggered something inside me that kinda make me think it wuz sad.

Munsu

Sun, 03-20-2005, 10:17 PM

you know... saying Warning Spoilers in your post is pointless if you dont say what series you are spoiling... since we all know that all these posts contain spoilers...

Hotsuma

Excellent. Now I don't have to watch Chrno Crusade OR Saikano. Though, Chrno Crusade hardly seemed interesting enough. (Just give me the episodes where you see Rosette's panties)

And a really sad death in an anime is SUIGINTOU from Rozen Maiden. She was an amazing villain, and her death is just as memorable.

Zabuza&Haku dying in Naruto...its only right before they die when you see how awesome they actually are.

Whole deal with Asuka in Evangelion... first she keeps failing, then she can't even move her eva, goes into coma, comes back up, fails again, dies.

Mai HiME has a lot of sad deaths, very few or the characters are really evil, and whenever someone loses a fight, one of them has to pay.

Ok I know it's not a series or even an anime, but I was really sad when Tidus had to leave Yuna and just cease to exist because he was a dream. The tear jerking part was the final scene where he floated down and re-united with his father after hating him for 10 years for the wrong reason. Like I said, not an anime or series but still, sad.
