Saddest Anime Moment ***SPOILERS***

[Cloud Clone]

I thought of this topic just a minute ago when I walked from my comp back into my room to see the saddest ep of Cowboy Bebop...with the guy who decides to commit crime to cure his sister's blindness. It's just sooo sad! When he gets shot through the chest and he drops the plant and it withers away right in front of his eyes is one of the saddest moments ever...

Episode 9 of Saikano where a certain someone dies is by far the saddest scene I have ever watched in anime. I watched Grave of the Fireflies right afterwards and I felt nothing (well I felt something but nowhere as much as I probally would have had I not watched Saikano.) That is how much it desensitized me. First time I nearly shed a tear watching anime.

Had this of been me a year ago, I would have said

when Nuriko died in Ep. 40 (??)

I cried SO much. But I'm sick of fushigi yuugi...and I probably didn't need to to use spoiler tags...I'm assuming that most of you know the classics.

Now, I'm thinking:
- The scene where Kenshin leaves Kaoru
- The BEST part of Slayers when Gourry and Lina kiss (ok, it's not sad, but it's emotionally gripping)
- The end of the second CCS movie

and I'm also thinking that these are not really SAD. Ok, let's just say episode 25 of Fruits Basket. THAT was really emotionally gripping ...especially the last 5 minutes with Tohru, Ou, and Hana.

One of the saddest ones I've mentioned is in this thread:

Also in Voices of a Distant Star,

the whole fact that Mikako will never meet up with Noboru was pretty depressing.

Noir episode 25

in which Chloe is killed by Kirika with the fork she had so treasured

is a real tear-jerker for me. Gets me every time.

One of the saddest moments was in Kanon

when it showed Ayu dying as a child, and then when she had to leave Yuuichi.

Another one would have to be in Kimi Gi Nozomu Eien, when

Haruka first gets hit by the car, and also when Takayuki tells Haruka that he's leaving her.

Haruka is the one who does that, not takayuki

and I laughed when what happens to Haruka happens. Laughing about how tragic it was.

Another one just off the top of my head is when Goku sacrifices himself to get rid of Cell and then when he says goodbye.

Soujiro's story (episode 55) I believe, the music and everything was great. (Kenshin)

the begining of rahxephon

[Navi en Grey]

The saddest anime scene would have to be the part when Lain ended. That anime was so cool, it ended like that, making me feel bad =(
