Saddest anime ever?

She, the Ultimate Weapon/Saikano (Saishuu Heiki Kanojo) - Chise, with some help from her friend Akemi, finally asks out Shuuji, the boy she likes, but not soon after, she's approached by the JSDF, because they've identified she's a compatable match for a weapons program they've developed; what will happen to her, when her country needs her!?

 

As I've watched the series (and even the Live Action movie), I know what happens, and it's pretty sad in my opinion; the events of the manga are slightly different, but still sad! They even decide to repeat the formula, by having a prequel OVA (Another Love Song), which follows Mizuki, who was also part of the weapons program, but whilst the process was still unrefined!

especially the 3rd one. it will either miss you completely or hit you hard :P

 

(im biased to it since the whole dangan series is my favourite, but i would suggest it either way)

Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day

 

I need to get round to finishing that, but yeah, that's a sad one too!

 

Although the Pokémon references are great; especially given that Nokémon Generations II and III are the reverse of Pokémon Generations II and III (Precious Stones Generation -Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald- then Metal Generation -Gold and Silver-)!

 

I think I might have recalled other sad series, but seems, if I had, I've forgotten them now!

Well, sadness means something different to everyone, and mine came in the form of Madoka Magica, which I've cried a lot more than any other anime.

 

On a more 'objective' note (whatever that means), there's Grave of the Fireflies, as mentioned, and also Asura. Asura is particularly depressing.

I still haven't finished it yet(on ep 9) but still having your girlfriend turn into an unstable killer weapon is messed up!!!But what hurts more is that there's nothing you can do about it!!!!:angry::'(

True, you empathise with Shuuji, that said, I think he starts off as quite uncaring toward Chise (I think, been possibly ten years since I watched it), but his opinion changes, possibly as he watches her slowly become more of a weapon!

 

As I've said, there's an OVA and Live Action (CG mechanical tentacles... I think, also ten years since I watched it, not sure I've even still got it), you can also watch, and the manga which, has a different ending to the anime!

Anime movie thingies count, right? If so, Five Centimeters Per Second. The way it plays out over three parts, and the ending, really got me.

If not, then Anohana (iforgotthefulltitleplzdunkillme).

Oh my gawsh. Yes. 5cmps is literally the most bittersweet thing I have ever watched. I cried. Totally hit me in my soft spot. :'(

When I was younger, Kanon (2006) made me cry so hard, but last night I watched Garden Of Words for the first time and oh my geeeeeeeee, I've never felt so many feels all at once (T▽T)

 

[A faint clap of thunder,

Even if rain comes or not,

I will stay here,

Together with you.]

Off the top of my head it would have to be Clannad.  The first season isn't that bad.  It is just a somewhat odd - and boring, tbh - HS hatsukoi story.  In fact, I dropped the first season when it first aired and then had to come back to it after seeing the end of the second.  (Now though.. just remembering that first line, "kono machi wa kirai da", makes me want to go watch it all again.)  Even After Story takes a while to get started.  But then it gets serious!  Like wife-and-kids, life-and-death serious.  Poor Tomoya.. first Nagisa (OMG!), then Ushio too just as he's getting his act together again!  I wanted to yell at the writers to stop jerking him around.  :( Even the side arcs are basically built on sad.   Especially Misae's, or Fuuko's.  Quite the roller-coaster.  So much sad.  Not all, fortunately, but I don't want to give anything away for anyone who hasn't seen it.  (Note though, I strongly recommend the Japanese-audio version.  The English voicing/dub kind of messed up Nagisa's character and significantly changed the tone of the whole story.  IMHO, YMMV, etc.)


Honorable mentions to AnoHana and Shigatsu Kimi no Uso.
