| I've been watching anime for thirty years and some of the deaths I've witnessed have been particularly depressing. While I want to discuss the topic, I'm putting my examples in the usually avoided "list" form so people can easily pass over ones they haven't seen to avoid spoilers. 1. from "Grave of the Fireflies" (1988) 2. from "Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play" (1995) 3. from "Trigun"(1998) 4. from "Sailor Moon" (1992) 5. from "The Mysterious Cities of Gold" (1982) 6. from "Kodomo no Omocha" (1996) 7. from "Sailor Moon" (1992) 8. from "Vampire Princess Miyu" (1997) 9. from "Yona of the Dawn" (2014) 10. from "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust" (2000) 11. from "Ronja the Robber's Daughter" (2014) 12. from "Princess Mononoke" (1997) What makes some of these anime deaths particularly moving is how deeply tragic many of them are: Parents dying in front of their children, young lives lost before they could truly live and kind people who tried their best but having their lives destroyed anyway. But the ones I think about the most are people killed who are knee deep in sins that they are too late to atone for. They make me contemplate my own life and choices, remembering that people in the real world can also die untimely and full of regret. How do anime deaths affect you? Do they make you sad? Angry? Contemplative? Or something else entirely? Which ones have affected you the most? |

| Humm, with no hesitation: I still have a lot of others but I think they're those who have affected me the most. |

| I haven't seen an Anime that has made me sad. Visual Novels on the other hand... Ever 17, and Fate/Stay Night:Heaven's Feel(Good Ending). |
| Just by saying there will be death in certain anime you are half way spoiling it already imo. |

| Have to watch all those spoilers and add those shows to 'Not to watch' . No just joking , but some of those may be like that for real. For me it was Kanade's disappearance , and Dogs in Naruto and Elfen Lied.. I Can't stand things like that.. |
