Heartbreaking and/or shocking moments in Anime

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

Spoiler:
end of Gurren Lagann.

The American team losing the baseball match in Samurai Champloo.

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.

Spoiler:
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.

Fullmetal Alchemist probably.

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.
