Episode 13 of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai.
They tried so hard, and did so well, but in the end it was hopeless after all.


At the first time, I do my best to try again
against the inevitable tragedy.

In the second time, I become disgusted
towards the inevitable tragedy.

The third time, disgust is overwhelmed into painfulness.
But by the seventh time, this all becomes a farce comedy.

-Frederica Bernkastel

I have cried countless times during Naruto. And I mean countless. It's sad.

Lovely Complex Episode 8
Other LoveCom episodes too. I cried a LOT.

Code Geass R2 when

I cried a lot for that...

There are probably others that I can't think of at the moment.

SORRY to bump an old thread but..


Lucky star when konata and her dad were talking about kanata (konata's dead mum), and when her ghost appeared x-x I actually cried at that bit. Specially with the flashbacks of their time together x-x Damn flashbacks e.e

Kanon (2006), Clannad, Air TV, you name every KEY series, and I'll bet you $70 that I'll cry over them. 8U

I also cried on the 50th episode of Soul Eater. ;3;

Maybe Hughes funeral in FMA. Another nominee would be, [ahem], the last episode of Azumanga Daioh. I'm a freak, almost crying during the graduation scene.

The whole anime Air and Shingetsutan Tsukihime are kinda sad
even the episode where Hagumi gets badly injured in Honey and Clover is bit sad.

I just saw the last episode of Kurokami.

Sad and happy at the same time... It doesn't hapen really often for me to get both feeling at the same time, but that show managed to do it.

episode 24 of CHRONO CRUSADE- when rozette and chrono die together. it was relly sad and I cried at that episode.

I would have to say episode #10 of EF - A Tale of Melodies

The most saddest episodes I've seen are #25 of .hack//Sign when Maho dies (I loved that cat) the episode when Wolfwood die and Millie started to cry ( that was a pretty sad episode and the rest are like the last episode of an anime like Wolf's Rain, Cowboy Bebop and others

yesh, anything KEY is pretty much gonna be sad.
like Air episode 5 with the blue-haired girls past (jeez i forgot her name, but it was depressing T_T)

and Chrono Crusade episode 24...uwaaah T_T

Well, anime was the first thing to make me cry since I watched ET when I was about 8-9. And trust me, I'm HF Autistic, it takes a lot to make me cry.

1. Okay, it's a movie but whatever. I watched Pokemon: The First Movie: Mew vs Mewtwo when it first came out in 2000 when I was about 8-9, and the point where Ash got turned to stone was pretty sad. After that, I lost all interest in those kind of cartoons...until...Summer 2009 and...

2. Azumanga Daioh - Episode 26 - Graduation

Ok, so the first real Japanese anime that I hadn't seen on TV. A undeniably brilliant and beautifully worked series ended with a very moving ending, the whole graduation ceremony scene, particularly the graduation song and Chiyo crying.

Definately the best series that I've seen so far (though I haven't watched that many animes as of this point.) It was so moving that it became, for me, the most moving TV series I had ever seen...until...

3. Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~ (Particulary Episode 12)

Looking back through this thread I am suprised to see that nobody appears to have mentioned this one. I went browsing the web for 'most moving animes' and came up with someone highly recommending this one. So I gave it a whirl. I was under the weather and had a whole weekend to watch this.

2 days and 13 episodes later, I emerged from the video sharing site I had been watching the series on red eyed and streaming with tears. The whole series was even more elegantly crafted than Azumanga Daioh, and had an unbeatable music score, and most of all, it actually made me cry.

But it was the emotional workings in the series. Particularly Episode 12 where Yasuna-Chan gets her sight back and Hazuma-kun finally decides that he loves her the most, and they live happily ever after it seems. This became officially the first thing to make me, a nearly 17 year old guy, cry his eyes out for a good 5 minutes straight, in at least 8 years.

It's also worth mentioning that, although this scene didn't come anywhere near as close as the past two, the scene in Trigun where Wolfwood spends his last moments of life and then dies in the church, that was pretty sad.

Ending episode of Code Geass R2 for me. Very Sad

Full Metal Alchemist ending! So sad :'(

The end of Princess Tutu was pretty sad. I don't know why I expected a happy ending.

The last couple of episodes to Tokyo Maginutde 8.0. TM8 was the only anime that's ever made me cry. '-'

The saddest episode of an anime i've ever seen is episode 24 of negima
