Need some help with my next undertaking
I have my songs set aside and am really looking for some source footage to start sorting through in this venture, I Have a lot of it mentally storyboarded.
Basically what I need is some suggestions of Anime where it may follow a person who becomes Ill and dies eventually, I'd like to keep it to one solid source, but am willing to work with multiple, so throw it at me. Also let me know what kind of stuff they go through (Example: What sickness? How long do they deal with it? How do they die?)

Re: Need some help with my next undertaking
Kanon (2006) has like 4 or 5 characters, one after another that go through different "sicknesses". They all kinda survive but they really rely on their suffering being the main point of the show. None of the characters technically die(its up to your interpretation on 1) but with all the depression going on its definitely tweakable.
The sicknesses:
Sorry for spoiling the whole series but its not really that great of a show to begin with besides the first fox girl arc, way too much unnecessary drama with very little pay off by the end.

Staying with Key stories, Misuzu's story arc in Air would also fit quite well.
There's both the movie and TV versions of the story to choose from for it, too.

Re: Need some help with my next undertaking
Well, if you want to take such great comedies as mentioned and turn them into drama to challenge yourself, I'd say good for you!
Here are my suggestions.
Grave of the fireflies has two characters slowly die. Both of starvation and malnutrition.
I believe one of the Phoenix stories has a man who eventually meets his end.
or you could click the following.

possibly this as well

Obligatory Casshern Sins promotion:
Everyone in the humanlike-robot populated world is suffering from "The Ruin," which causes them to rust and decay until they die. One of the main themes is how different people deal with imminent mortality.
I'm not gonna recommend Full Moon wo Sagashite, even if the main character does have cancer...

Hitsuji no Uta(Lament of the Lamb)
I haven't completey seen this short OVA series fully yet, but as much as I have seen. It seems really good. Bit older, and different animation for sure, not many bright colours or anything like that :3
Basic story, its a family who craves blood, there is a sister and brother( a bit incest) but none the less good. Eventually the sister ends up dying from health problems concerning her heart, and the brother ends up taking his life.
