I liked when Kuwabar sacrificed himself in Yu Yu Hakusho. And when Yusuke died against sensui. Of coarse everyone al ready mentioned the most tear-jerker of them all when Nina dies. That caught me totally off guard. I was like "holy shit".
And I liked in DBZ after gohan and vegeta died, the responses to their death from characters like Botan and Videl.
you know, I'm utterly surprised no one wrote some real anime tear-jerkers. You know like Air, Kanon, Clannad. And there's this one anime, completed heart wrenching I almost couldn't finsih it. And an amazing thing about all of these is that they were written by the same person. KEY is extremely talented, you should check out all of her work.
I've only watched four animes seriously. Pokemon, Sailor Moon, Naruto, and Bleach. Was too young to understand and care much for Sailor Moon... only sad part of Pokemon is when Ash loses in the Indigo Plateau fight to Richie.
There's nothing in Bleach that s made me sad.
Naruto has a few gut wrenchers. I almost cried when Zabuza fell over and died next to Haku. It was sad when Naruto was told the truth about his past. The current wrencher for me is when
Spoiler:though that hasn't happened yet in the show.
Naruto finds about J-Man's death and he has flashbacks about it.
