Hello everyone. I want to know the saddest anime you have ever watched. In my case, SHigatsu Wa Kimi no uso (Your Lie In April). In the last episode, I shed tears.

Clannad Afterstory for being an emotional rollercoaster.

But if you want the saddest thing ever, just read Oyasumi Punpun.

That shit is just fucking depressing.

In Taboo Charming Mother after the mom was stolen by her son but then had her son basically abandon her for her sister. So much sadness, so many tears.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

Do you realise that tears aren't white and sticky?

Anyway, I cried the most at Anohana, to the point where I made myself ill. Pretty cool, right? Fucking kill me.

If you're sensible, Death Parade can make you feel the feels.

Other than that, the first 15 mins of Kotoura-san is one of the most sad things in all anime. After that...ehhh... rom-com that can't juggle rom, con and seriousness.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.

But does the heart have the right perspective?

Depends on what you mean by sad. If it's only a matter of tears then Hotaru no mori e or clannad.

But if we are talking about shows that are sad because of their themes and messages ( which is, in my opinion far more interesting) than Terra E..., Kenshi (OVA) and maybe Ginga Eiyuu Densentsu are some pretty sad shows.

I didn't cry in Clannad because I was too busy figuring out if


Series that were sad:
-Death Parade
-Anohana
-Your Lie in April
-Plastic Memories
-First episode of Koutora San
-Last episode of Chrno Crusade about 10-15 min mark
-HAL
-Dusk Maiden of Amnesia first 10 mins of last episode
-White Album 2
-Pet Girl of Sakurasou

Probably the only one that made me cry and everytime i listen (which i don't intentionally) to the OP/ED/Ending song and makes me want to cry would be Angel Beats!. There have been others that had me drop a tear or two like Chrno Crusade but the majority that makes me tear have been tears of happiness. Also somehow i didn't felt depressed/suicidal with Texhnolyze ending, probably because i expected that to happen but i get why people say that is a depressing anime.

The first arc of Aoi Bungaku Series was the most depressing thing I have seen so far. This guy was totally done with life. Very sad or depressing Anime I have also seen so far are Your Lie in April, Plastic Memories, Death Parade, Steins;Gate and Welcome to the NHK.

Strictly in terms of tragedy and sorrow, very few anime can ever hope to compete with Now and Then, Here and There. Goddamn, did the end of episode 12 mess me up for a few hours.

Indeed. If they would've saved that part for later, it would have at least had some impact. But to put it right at the start when you don't even know a character is killing it.

ikr. Sadly it's poorly executed, but for sensible hearts, like me sometimes, it's shattering. You can see One and I agree it's too forced for it's own good, but the idea is heart-wrenching.

Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso for me. There's also Tokyo Magnitude 8.0.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Well for ME (the capital "me" indicates that it is my opinion, so don't take it as a fact and start arguing):
  • Your Lie in April wasn't sad story. The anime made me sad because nothing happened :(
  • 5 Centimeter per second wasn't a big deal either even with the fact that I live in a relationship where I can't meet my loved one for long long periods of time.
  • Angel Beats! - This anime kicks in with the biggest melodramatic scene I've ever seen in anime. (Other aspects made mistakes, but it is overall a satisfying experience, definitely worth watching!)
  • Sunday without God - My lord this anime has one mistake only: no ending / translated resource material. If you want to experience complicated feelings in a unique world, then look no further this is the one you want to watch. (You will thank me, then you will curse me, cause of the lack of ending).
  • Charlotte - this anime offers mostly anything but sadness and drama. But it has some events that could make you cry. And overall the ending is not the type of : "good guy saves the day and they live a long happy life, fin".(and it is one of the best animes that showcases depression).
  • Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica - Looks can be deceiving, and a this anime will break your heart if you don't know what's comming. But his time, it's worth staying it the dark until you watch it.
  • Elfen Lied - It may seem wierd, and if you don't enjoy the show then nothing will save Elfen Lied for you. But if you like it and follow the characters closely as they develop you will end up feeling unprecedented feelings while Lucy murders someone.
  • Zankyou no Terror - No not the ending. The ending is one of the best and most meaningful in anime history, but still. The whole journey and the goal of the main characters is just fantastic.
  • Clannad - No not ONLY the After Story. Clannad is slow, you need some time to get used to it, but it will give you the time with one of the worst arcs it has :( . If you live through it and get to the point where you suddenly start to feel the "everyone is fucked here?" feeling. Then there's After Story which will leave you speachless. In my take it is the saddest anime I've ever seen.

Shiki pretty much destroys you at the end. Especially the OVA episodes are scary. Not in a gore sense (well that too) but mostly they make you question the good in humanity and this sticks with you for time to come.
