Nagisa and Ushio's death come to mind, as for shocking, the Rape of Ai was pretty... shudder-worthy.

Death of Spike.

Saya's eternal slumber.

The end of Gurren Lagann.

Eh, I never really thought of Clannad as being as sad as everyone else does. Don't really get it, they're just a bunch of random teenagers with well-animated asses that cry a bunch, and die on occasion.

Wtf? Is ANYONE on this thread being serious?

Anyway, @ thread, I think the 5 saddest for me were:

5. The death of Lucy in Elfen Lied.

4. When Rika died, even after coming so close to stopping Takano, in Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Kai.

3. The flashback that revealed what Itachi said to Sasuke before dying in Naruto.

2. Jiraiya's death, and his last thoughts, as well as Naruto's reaction, also in Naruto.

1. And last but not least, when the Bleach anime started sucking after the save Rukia arc.

One of the most heartbreaking moments of all time.

I was being dead serious.

Nia dies despite all Simon did to save her (and the circumstances arguably clash with the tone and themes the series set), Yoko ages badly and is implied to never try romance again because her kiss is a ****ing death sentence, and Simon becomes a hermit who apparently never saw his friends again. It was surreal in its sadness, and actually kind of bothers me.

Oh, lol.

I thought you were just being sarcastic, because you just put, "The end of Gurren lagann", in a spoiler box. It just seemed really ironic, and therefor whimsical to me.

Ah, thanks. Meh, still not as sad as what happened in(to) Bleach.

Ending of Shin Angyo Onshi.

The ending of School Days.

What about when they killed that dog in Elfen-Lied?

Still brings back horrid memories.

That ending had me PHUCKED UP for like a week. The ending still makes me tell people DON'T watch School days.

Why, what happened?

It follows the harem high school trope until one chick becomes obsessed with the main character and it gets effed up in a hurry by the last episode.

Truth be told it was a long time ago when I saw it. Probably not too shocking anymore especially if one were to watch it prepared for something like that.

School Days... Really kinda sucks.

The main character is a douchebag. :/

Such a heartwarming tale.

The saddest moment in Anime is when Roshi did not get to see Bulma's pissing vagina:

I found myself drawn into a scene in Ghost in the Shell actually.
When Kusanagi is trying to access the tank near the end and her arms tear off.
The flexing in the body, music, emotion and drama in that scene still gives me chills. Is it her determination that blinds her to her limitations? Does she even care? Does she genuinely have a death wish?
First time I saw it I held my breath and let out a 'whoooa' when the arms tore off in the few seconds of slo-mo footage. Dare I say Poetic?

Thank you, Zach Fair. For all the feelings

A better ending would have been Goku getting beaten to death.

This is probably it for any anime I've seen. Does Grave of the Fireflies count? That made me feel terrible, and I'm an INTP. I'll never watch it again.

Deaths of:

Nicholas D. Wolfwood.

Spike Spiegel.

Jonathan Joestar.

And the piece of sentient clothing from an awesome anime I can't remember just now.

Yeah, Kill La Kill.

The end was actually one of the most emotional things in anime, ever. And it's a damned parody show about body snatching clothes.

The dude's obsessed with puss.

When Edward Elric died in FMA 2003.

I just remembered an old anime by the name of "Now and Then, Here and There".

It starts off innocent enough, but through-out the whole anime, there's child trafficking, training them into soldiers, abuse, verbal and physical towards women and children.

There's a character that gets raped once and almost gets raped again, the first rapist was a guy she didn't know and was given to for free, she was a virgin btw, she gets pregnant from him and thinks about killing herself for pretty much the rest of the series. The flower petals blowing away as it happens is... eh... ooh baby that hit me... HARD, it sucked, it really friggen sucked.

Everything's just all sorts of ****ed up.

You better shut your mouth kid.

I decided to make a more serious business list. Gonna spoiler what I consider to be late-show spoilers, so something like the hero being cucked by their wife ****ing their dog at the end will be spoilered, but the protagonist stubbing his toe three episodes in won't.

The ending of Cowboy Bebop
Sayaka becoming a witch and Kyoko sacrificing herself to put her down as well as Homura's backstory in Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica.
Nanachi and her friend going on a long elevator ride in Made in Abyss
The entire ending sequence in Diebuster
Kiritsugu's crushing of Kayneth and Saber final scene in Fate/zero
Miki Makimura and crew's grisly dismemberment in the second to last episode of Devilman: CRYBABY
Shichika's fight with Nanami in Katanagatari

Cashern Sins

EVERYTHING

The absolute MOST DEPRESSING anime in history!

Honestly, this scene really epitomizes why I wasn't huge on Madoka Magica. It was a beautiful and compelling scene standalone, but that worked to its disadvantage, because it felt completely unwarranted. It was trying to invoke an emotional response for a relationship with no worthwhile development.



This one was better, but I'd seen that sort of thing many times before, so it also wasn't that hard hitting for me.



Probably the most powerful moment of the entire series, for me.



Good pick. Although the fact that you didn't pick a certain other scene from that series makes me feel like it failed in its objective.

It has been about five+ years since I last watched Katanagatari. Are you referring to Togame being blown the **** out and revealing that she fully intended to murder Shichika in her dying confession? Or Shichika proceeding to murder dozens of basically innocent people in an effort to commit suicide by cop (which honestly should have been my real pick, but I actually forgot it happened when I wrote up this quick list)? Or something else entirely?

The Kiritsugu scene was great. I still remember my boyfriend's quiet simmering anger as he grew to hate the character during.

As far as Kyoko and Sayaka, I obviously can't agree. I might give the series another watch sometime specifically to analyze their scenes prior, but I felt that the build-up and development of their formerly antagonistic relationship, while never budding into a friendship, was sufficient to show that Kyoko had taken a personal stake into Sayaka's well-being, both trying to bond with her over the shared revelation that they were, essentially, undead monsters, and telling her own backstory to keep Sayaka from making similar mistakes as a magical girl Kyoko has which, obviously, failed.

As far as the second Madoka one, if you'd already seen other scenes like that fair enough but I obviously can not relate lol.

Yeah, the finale in general. As far as a shocking "moment," though, I'd say the first half would fit better.



It's been a long time for me too, so the details are fuzzy, but I vividly remember feeling somewhat awkward during that scene, because I could see what it was trying to do and just wasn't feeling it at all.
There are two reasons for this. One, because the show was really short in general, and there was really no time to get too attached to any of the characters individually before they met their respective tragic ends. Two, while I do think an antagonistic relationship has the potential to work for that kind of scene (enough so that I understand what they were going for), in the case of Sayaka and Kyoko? I mean, they met only a couple of days prior to their deaths, their relationship during that time was mostly toxic, with only one or two civil interactions, and very little in the way of common ground/mutual understanding. I completely agree that Kyoko was just being tsundere, and really did mean well for Sayaka, but she was by no means invested enough in her personally for me to buy that extremely dramatic "sacrifice for my friend." Especially since Sayaka legitimately seemed to hate her.

I've heard Madoka is vastly overrated @Sas. That true?

While that will probably be said about any popular work, I do think it is. That's not to say that it was bad; it's a neat twist on a classic genre, and it's very aesthetically pleasing. You'd probably like it. However, to me it felt like it was trying to come off as much more deep than it actually was. I think a lot of the hype surrounding it can be attributed to the shock value from when it first came out, which is something that's lost on new watchers, because no one goes into Madoka blind at this point.

Magia is a goddamn legendary ED track, though. The first time it played after Episode 3 was chilling.

Ippo's last fight.

End of Ashita No Joe, when he died just before the decision.

Or did he?

There's worse ways to go out, Ippo.
