Yeh, the main girl on the left looks like the church-girl from EF.

That isn't true at all.

Da Capo visual novels are made by Circus, studio behind the anime is feel (And a few others).

ef visual novels are made by Minori, studio behind the anime is SHAFT.

Sola is an original work, studio behind it is Nomad.

All three had Naru Nanao behind character designs (or at least some of the characters in the original Da Capo), though beyond that, they're all different.

And yes, Matsuri does look like Yuuko.

Spoiler for Picture:

[space cowboy]

Either Saikano or grave of the fireflies

or like everyone else says Air

Anyone else end up emotionally stunted because of Bambi or Old Yeller? I bet many of you remember in some detail the moments leading to Bambi's mothers end...I sure do and the sobbing that followed. These kind of moments don't happen often but when they do they grab on your heart strings and won't let go. You remember it days/weeks/years later and it still depressing.


I've been really into anime for the last ten years and while most of the sad moments haven't stayed with me, Grave of the Fire Flies is still there. After watching it, I wished I hadn't. Even now I try not to think to hard about it, but I remember it depressing me for nearly a week afterwards.

Spoiler for Simoun:

The other big downer was the dance of Aaeru and Nevrille at the end of Simoun. Some people may have alternate impressions of what was going on, but for me these eternal maidens dancing happily until the end was bittersweet. Their dance was happy but ended abruptly and is no more and will never be again, just like the adolescence they symbolized. Even thinking of the series makes my heart drop and it was months ago that I watched it.

We're all different people and some things have different impacts; something that someone else might laugh off might leave the next person in tears. Maybe I'm soft hearted but another one of the sad moments that sticks with me is from Naruto and its not an event you might expect.

Spoiler for Naruto:

For me it was when the Hokage was fighting Orochimaru and he killed his two of his Sound Ninja to turn them into the first and second hokages. Orochimaru's casual disregard for their lives after sort of coming to know them in the series hit me like a tonne of bricks.

Anyone care to share their tear filled moments in anime? Remember to add in spoiler tags so you won't ruin anything.

Episode 7 of clannad I believe has been the only anime to make me cry yet.

I might be an episode or so off but anyone who has watched the show knows the one I'm talking about. It's the only real sad moment/episode that early on in the series.

[DidCart]

It isn`t an anime, but a manga.
Sand Chronicles (Sunadokei) Hinako by Ashihara.
It`s the saddest history I`ve ever read and one of the best shojos too.

Twin Spica. In fact, it's the only anime that made me cry. It's very touching.

[porous_shield]

Another moment that depressed me was

Spoiler for Fullmetal Alchemist:

When Shou Tucker merges his daughter with his dog and we learn that he did it to his wife as well

[Tirfing88]

Probably Hanbun no tsuki ga noboru sora

[KimmyChan]

Fruits Basket made me cry quite a bit, as did Rumbling Hearts

[Throne Invader]

Wolf's Rain and Rozen Maiden

[nic09]

Grave of the Fireflies is probably the saddest that I've seen..and one of the most depressing too..

[kitten320]

Hmmm....

Elfen Lied...
And definetly Ga Rei Zero.

[Pixelation]

5cm Per Second left me teary eyed, which is a rare feat. Something about those loves on the verge of happening, yet fading away is heartrending. It's not something I can watch too often, but it's an excellent little film.

[Telmah]

Pixelation stole my fire, but I was going to say 5 Centimeters Per Second as well. [SPOILER="ending[B]"[/B]Makoto Shinkai's works are often sad affairs, but it really struck me as even sadder than say Voices of a Distant Star because there was the chance of a happy ending...and it just slipped through the main characters hands.[/SPOILER]

[Solidus1321]

Code geass, but that was just stright up awesome saddness.

But I think it ties with FMA on saddness for me.

[Avangar]

Before Clannad i would say Grave of the Fireflies but now the most touching fore me would be Clannad.
