Hey!

The last post i made got blocked due to it been listed as "Simple Listing". It definitely was and i apologise for it. Instead of creating a blog post about the results of that, i've decided to gather the thoughts of MAL and see what the saddest Anime they've watched is and why.

Write you answers below! Best answers will be featured in my blog.

P.S. I'll post the conclusion of this thread later. I will insert the blog link here when i've finished the post. The article will be created using the MAL blogging system ^.^

Thanks!

mushishi. which episode? too many to list.

why? characterization is better than most of seasonal anime. the execution is more better too.

Chaos Dragons. I was hyped for it and Silver Link completely butchered my hopes. Felt like crying.

Akame ga Kill, episode 19


Jokes aside, I remember to cry a lot with Blood+. That series was very depressing to watch. At least the ending was more encouraging, though bittersweet.

If you likes action series, I think that you could like it. However, it have a rather slow pace and the plot take its time to move. It also very centered in the main characters's personality and have a lot of character development. If you are patient, I reccomend it to you.

Sounds good. I'm not particularly a patient person but if an Anime offers good development, a decent story and some fun along the way then i'd watch it. I'll add it to my 'Plan to Watch'.

Now and Then, Here and There. Very messed up. It focuses on child soldiers in a war for resources. There is a lot of death and rape. I cried twice.

Rose of Versailles was the first that came to mind.

It's not because the show was dramatic, but since Rose of Versailles took history so strictly, certain events had to happen, regardless of how hard the characters tried to avoid the outcome. I knew the events beforehand as well, so the show was a tragedy fighting a losing fight against destiny. And holy crap did it get bleak.

Texhnolyze - the manner in which the events leading to multiple peoples' demise was enthralling. There was nobody safe from the beginning which was expected considering the premise but it really hit me hard like a bombshell.

Nothing beats Angel Beats! Literally the ONLY anime that managed to make me cry till now.

Some moments of Akame ga kill and Steins;Gate and some other anime were pretty sad but not enough to jerk my tear out.

And Charlotte; I cried of disappointment ;_;

I dont like anime that use the following as a source of drama or sadness

death, accident, illness, torture

I just think its a very easy way to make everyone feel sad

I look for something else.

If I had to say off the top of my head, the saddest anime I have ever seen is

Boys Be

The male MC and the female MC had known each other their whole lives. They were in that more than friends but less than a couple zone. Then the male MC gets a summer beach job away from the female MC. And then the female MC felt lonely and went out with another guy and the male MC saw them kissing. It just destroyed their whole relationship.

Charlotte was sad for me too. It was a disappointment but it was also sad due to ME REALLY WANTING YUU AND TIMORI TO KISS!

Too bad it's the main reason. And slightly sad because a good show is over or a nice idea didnt get adapted in a proper way, might happen as well.

Dunno if sad is the word, but definitely bittersweet.

For some reason I didn't feel sad, and I both liked the series and the characters. It just kept the same mood during all the show
