I guess I get emotional easily over nothing ? Either way, it was one of the first I watched that were not attack on titan or sword art online that had some impact on my feelings. |

| Nah, mate. They are both quite awful actually and I would hardly call them the "saddest anime ever". But to each their own, I guess. P.S In Shigatsu, the females are portrayed as abusive, stupid, expendable. Can we PLEASE promote good anime that have more variety in female characters? Maybe even anime that show females as they are - humans. |
| I read hateful comments on both anime on this thread, and while I agree that they're probably not the saddest anime out there, I would have to disagree saying that they're nothing more than a pile of shit. Shigatsu was definitely not a bad anime at all, in fact it's good. They portray anime characters dealing with a sad truth, or that is yet to come. It talks about moving on, and it shows character motivations behind each of the characters' decisions, actions, strengths and weaknesses, something which justifies the downpour of emotions and feels towards the main characters. The overarching story behind it may not emotionally provoke viewers automatically (unless you're some fragile drama fanatic), but the detailed progression of events, just those individual moments, be it unfortunate or just tear-jerking in its own right enables the viewer to feel even just that tiny pinch in their kokoro. Inclusive of viewers' biases, it may be justified to say that it's only sad just because the viewer was able to relate to the events or the characters themselves, but that collective emotions and sentiments of a pretty good amount of viewers tell you that the anime is actually worthy of appreciation and that a good amount of effort was put into the making of the anime. Objective-wise, the presentation of the story and how the characters go about it tell you that even without a pretty big fandom, the anime was something created not just for the heck of it, but to evoke what it wants from the viewers, in Shigatsu's case, sadness. And please stop complaining how an anime is shit just because it gives a negative stereotype on a certain gender or group of people. Anime is not meant to give judgment, it is meant to give a message. Similarly, Anohana can never be described as a piece of shit just because it uses generic story lines which the average person can see as sad or emotional. I thought people already understood that it's always about the execution and not the concept. And even when people say that the execution of the story was below par, it cannot be given a conclusion that it's not a good sad anime because as far as "average people" are concerned (and that includes me), Anohana definitely touched our hearts in simple individual feel-provoking moments, things that many people can actually relate to. And I don't want someone saying that this, ">Girl apparently died and is now a ghost>people console their friend, hoping he isn't delusional>everyone's sad now", is shit, because if that particular someone actually watched Anohana and paid attention to what it intends to convey, it's not that kind of logic which makes Anohana sad. But hey, it all depends on people's tastes. It's my opinion made objective as possible (but still included biases). |
A retard is trying to prove his point, thanks. |
| Saddest? Hmmm Not really.... bottle said: Because of Krillian right? i knew it.I believe Dragon Ball was the saddest one. It's so surreal. |

| Maybe I'm dead inside but neither your lie in april or anohana really moved me at all... that said I may have shed a tear or two during I want to eat your pancreas, and the end of angel beats kind of left me in a wreck... what's sad and what's funny is all pretty subjective at the end of the day anyway |

| Well, if you personally liked these two, then good for you that it made you happy from sadness. But for me, Maquia will make you more sad than Shigatsu and Anohana. |
