| Wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |
| I prefer East asian drama japanese cartoon tho. I dunno if its sad but welp its drama |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
| drama is my favorite genre i dont know why i just love tragedies |
 |
| To get emotional over a sad anime you really need to get connected to the characters. It may be harder to develop such a deep connection from action/happy anime that have no tragedy behind it. Sad anime may just leave a stronger lasting impression on the viewer than non-sad ones. I dunno. |
 |
| I love getting the feelz however I DON'T love tragic endings. *stares at faves* *Half have tragic endings* ................well, goddamnit. |
  |
| Because its fun watching anime characters suffering. |

| im 2 happy so sad anime balance well with my life DatRandomDude said: otherwise, basically this^Because its fun watching anime characters suffering. |
 |
| I love seeing tragedies, especially when they're involving little kids, I love watching those kids getting mature or otherwise insane during their emotional turbulence. |
 |
| I like sad anime because it allows me to feel intense emotion. I love stories that convey emotion, whether it be sadness, happiness, love, excitement, fear, relaxation, or anticipation, because in recent times I've found it hard to feel any of these emotions in real life. So I turn to fiction. |
| It can invoke profound emotions and certainly has a degree of romanticism to it. I think being heartbroken over a sad anime is proof of how much those characters meant to me as well. Ultimately, however, I prefer anime that can make me cry out of sheer happiness. |
 |
| I guess it depends on the person. In my case I don't usually look for sad animes but in case I do watch one I do hope it doesn't have a sad/tragic ending despite its development having that tone. |

I dunno. I think for an action anime that have tragedy and romance include will give stronger impact on viewer. I have watched certain anime like that that leave me empty True, true. I haven't watched many shows so I haven't come across too many that incorporate the two but for me I feel the effect strong on anime that fully dedicates itself to be a tear jerker compared to shows that have both qualities. Could just be that I haven't stumbled upon any good shows that utilize both genres effectively yet. |
|
| I don't particularly prefer sad anime but yes, I like to get emotional. |
 |
| I like watching something that I can relate.. sometimes. Only few anime made me so emotional after watching it. - Clannad AS - 5cm per second - White Album 2 |
   |
| Uhm... I think that when anime makes you cry or makes your skin crawl, it's doing very well (normally). |
 |
| Sad anime that evoke powerful emotions can be good sometimes, but I think mostly elitists enjoy sad endings, because they are "better" or "more realistic" than a happy ending. I think this is ridiculous, quite honestly. I couldn't imagine reading a F/SN where Sakura doesn't have her happy ending. |

RedTie said: I definitely enjoy them. I think their story can pack a lot of emotion into them. I just like it when an anime can really make me feel like I'm in that situation or at least get me thinking of it. When I see a sad anime I like it when the ending isn't forced to be happy. Sure it if it fits then I'm fine but some just seem like a sad ending was what would have gone best, in my opinion. I prefer my anime to have both. The low points feel so very low when it's got high points too. The Legend of the legendary Heroes had that moment twice when Ryner went to jail and later on when he and Sion had their drama. Eureka 7's low point of Renton feeling pathetic and unneeded running away from Gekkou State had more impact on me than anything in Elfen Lied. |
| I'm always feeling awesome so once a year I make it a point to watch something sad in order to confirm I'm still capable of feeling emotions and that I have not been turned into a narcissistic robot. |
| There's no need for all this tension. |
| Maybe they are sad people in real life or something. |
 |
| Sometimes I just need a good cry. A series that breaks my heart is kinda therapeutic to me tbh. |
 |
| There's still beauty and humanity in shows that will invoke sad emotions out of you. That's why I watch it sometimes. |
| We in the West have an obsession with grimdark recently. That may explain why we're into the whole sadness-darkness-pain thing in anime, too. |

| Ever think about sad shit when you're crying, just to make yourself cry some more? When I'm down I'll watch sad anime/ listen to sad music, just so I can get a taste of my lowest low, to remind myself of how much better it is to be at my highest high. (: |
DarkFatalKnight said: Maybe they are sad people in real life or something. it's the opposite,sad people watch happy stuff that will never happen to them like me while happy people with boring lives need melodrama and angst |
| Idk ssince I like anime with more comedy then sad, maybe they like to get emotional and memorable of it |

| I don't really like sad anime, I prefer heartwarming than tearjerking. I rate anohana & angel beats 6 while rate natsume yuujinchou & bunny drop 9 |
| I enjoy sad anime but not a tragic ending. |

Agree, it's fun to discuss this................ |
| It's nice when a thing can genuinely make me care about the characters and the world they're in. Most of the time they muck it up (HxH). |
| They are emos and looking for a show to cut themselves. |
 |
| Well I personally love sad animes. It's like if you had a bad life, you are used to it, and in some point you like it, because it reminds you of your life. I pretty much love romance drama animes. And my life was pretty f***ing bad. And some people like it when they get to care about the characters, and drama animes are the best at making you care. |
| All i want in life is a yandere girlfriend and anime. |
| diversity is good thing you know. i can get bored watching comedy everyday. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| They got the feelz and you are likely to remember them for awhile. I'm watching Ballad of a Shinigami, and its pretty sad; but I'm enjoying it. orario_ said: I don't know. To me, those people are weird. Life is shitty enough as it is, why would anyone want to become even sadder? ...meh that's just my point of view, everyone is free to do whatever the heck he wants Sad but true. |

Interesting point of view, but as you can see in this thread, then alot and I mean alot of people have different opinions on this subject. In my opinion I am just watching any genre anime, including the sad ones. Thus it feels like I have no time to watch all the anime ever made. I've even started watching Studio Ghibli's anime from scratch, anyway my point is different, it's hard to just group people who likes dramatic/sad movies/anime. |

Maybe you'll just get something interesting to think about? The whole point of communication is exchanging thoughts and ideas. |

Exactly, I have my own thoughts about some things, but I really like to listen to some other opinions. Maybe there is something i don't like, just because I missed a point in it and someone shows me what did I miss. |

| I'm a sucker for feels even though I hate tragic endings For example, Toradora wasn't even sad but I became so emotionally attached to the characters that I felt sad watching it.. it was really weird Another 10/10 show that is an emotional rollercoaster |

I don't know why, but only anime gets me. And if it's sad, it sure will get me. |
