3. Clannad Afterstory
4. Toradora!
5. 5cm per second'
6. Voices of a distant star.

Hmm...

I'd say
1. Code Geass
2. Clannad After Story
3. Elfen Lied
4. EF - Tale of Memories / Melodies
5. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

And yes, i've seen Air, Kanon, Neon Genesis etc... And yes, they are sad but just like shatting a tear or two sometimes but when I think of Clannad for example, almost every other Episode made me cry like a baby :D

Basilisk: Most everything in this anime triggered an emotional response in me, the characters were so real, they formed such bonds with each other.

Cowboy Bebop: No comment. :P

I've been seeing Clannad: Afterstory pop up a lot in this tread, but I have to disagree. Although the anime did get very bleak throughout the middle portion of it's run, it's ultimate message was an inspiring one.


That was only tangentially related to the topic, though.

I can't say that I truly found any anime to be that sad for me (maybe I'm just a cheerful bastard).

Neon Genesis Evangelion makes the statement that in life we are always alone in some way. We will always misunderstand or hurt each other in some way without knowing it. Yet at the same time it celebrates life for what it is. If there is no "other" than there cannot be a "me." This anime like, like Clannad, still stands firm in the belief that the good outweighs the bad (or that the bad is just an essential part of life). It's still kind of a sad prospect when you think about it, though.

Still, you have to admit that Clannad: AS was just extremely sad/depressing when those teary moments came.

You've got a point there. The show definitely had it's very sad moments (I still get a little teary-eyed whenever someone plays the Dango song).

Oh, I just started watching Clannad After story, better prep for tears then. The first season was already sad enough.

But the saddest for me must be Kanon 2006, I cried almost every episode it was soo sad. :'(

If you haven't finished After Story, then be prepared, you thought the first season was sad enough then you probably won't like the second half of AS.

Yeah, Code Geass for me too, I Loved it, and I watched the last 10 minutes so many times. It was tough for me because I had been watching it for so long that megavideo timed out just before the end :( I was torture the whole of the next day.

Yeah DN was pretty... extreme at some points.
For me, it's Elfen lied. It's so emotional.

'No matter how good you are you alone cannot change the world.' -L Death Note
'I don't like that word. After all, it makes me lonesome. Even though, 'Farewell'. I have to make sure I say it right, Amber?' -Maki, Darker than Black

They say too much thinking can create something that's not really there in the first place. So give me a moment, I'm busy thinking about cake.
