If you watch Banana Fish Anime Series. You will understand it why everyone says it is sad.

I thought the same thing. I was actually more upset at the end rather than sad. I was confused why the MC didn’t see the other MC off on the plane. But yeah, it wasn’t really sad.

The right mindset when watching an anime is hoping that it will break your top 10

it's sad because the anime is very deep to some people, and the ending was indeed very sad

Ash’s entire backstory is sad? shorter? The end? Just say you’re a sociopath and go

Banana Fish is pretty overhyped by girls who like to see Gay love idk for whatever reasons. Since girls cry easily, it developed into a dumbass rumour that banana fish is sad

I love Monogatari Series

Basically, I’ve seen some stuff that have made me cry but Banana Fish didn’t even make me sad. People are overhyping it

Ashs entire backstory and the ending bro.
If you don't find either of that even remotely sad you're probably a bit of a sociopath.

They were not lovers but they cared and loved eachother the way that lovers would.
And yoshida again never said that, if you want me to belive that then go and show me evidence.
I've been through every yoshida interview I've been able to get my hands on and read the translation and the original Japanese versions (the translation is a little iffy and doesn't really get across what she's actually trying to say a lot of the time) and I can confirm that this was never ever said.

Instead of stating what others like or what makes them sad based on no evidence, you can talk for yourself. If you can't understand why banana fish wasn't sad for you then you can stay quiet and don't reveal how much of a loser you are.
----
Many messed up things happen in banana fish, so it's natural to find it sad. But the execution wasn't the best in some parts, so it's also natural to not find it sad.

Ash's life is sad. You learn about his life and its horrible and sad, and the ending is also sad for Ash. The story of Banana Fish is just gloom, bit it's so good though.

I guess if you have no interest in the characters or plot, no reason it should make you sad.

People who don't like the show tend to be action freaks who love shows for the animation and for the hype, not the plot and how it made them feel.

!SPOILER!
Ash and Eiji aren't straight confirmed so there's no use assuming their sexuality, I also don't see how Ash's backstory with his parents/ being raped countless of times and living a live with such trauma is not sad. He literally had to shoot his best friend to save his other friend and saw skipper die. At the end he basically killed himself even though he could've gotten help, so I don't really get how it's not sad. Idrk what you mean by overhyped by girls? Maybe girls just generally show more empathy and maybe can relate more because more girls than men are sexually assaulted

That's true, even though no one will ever know how their relationship would've played out if ash would have still been alive

Judging by their cannon interaction and the way yoshida has spoke about them in interviews I belive they would've maybe gotten into an ace relationship.

Yeah I also think so, judging by ash's trauma regarding that kind of intimacy (of course it could still be an ace relationship even if ash didn't have that kind of trauma)

That’s what I’m saying. I personally didn’t find it sad it was more frustrating and the ending was a little bit ironic in my opinion but it’s still a good anime tho.

For me the ending was more frustrating than sad, but how you can say this show isn't sad if they told the history of a minor being SA and the f*** up sh*t he went through all the way to the ending where he finally get to rest with his dead, also the show obligates you to watch the painful dead of the best character of the first half for like a whole episode how this show isn't sad lmao

To each their own, some people find it sad because they can personally relate to Ash’s trauma. R*pe, Abuse, loneliness etc. just because you didn’t cry it doesn’t mean anyone else should invalidate someone else that did. Banana fish is a tragic anime and it is a sad one.

Because of the relationship that the two main characters hold that’s broken off at the end. Ash is dangerous for Eiji, so we as the audience knowing that, the ending broke us to a way worser point. I don’t like how people are saying it’s overhyped because it’s “gay” it’s not at all, it’s more of a bond then a relationship. Yes there was that one scene where they kissed but ash had to to get his message across, but you guys blew that out of proportion.

Have you finished it? Are we talking about the same thing here? The ending especially is sad, but even the rest of the story is. Ash's past, his trauma, his life, his vulnerability.. All of it is painful/depressing to watch. And for it to end the way it ended for him, it makes it even worse.

I sometimes forget to finish my sentences.

Just basically the open ending that's left up to interpretation by the watcher. That's how I saw it. They never confirmed what truly happened. It really wasn't as sad as I expected, but still upsetting. As for the whole bl lovers aspect, I never saw them as lovers just two friends with amazing chemistry and trust in one another.
