30 Day Anime Challenge: Question 9

"What do you think is the saddest anime scene you have watched?"

That's a tough one...I think the most depressing anime I've watched is the movie, 'Grave of Fireflies', but it was so depressing that I've only ever watched it once and don't ever plan to watch it again.  As such, I can't remember what the saddest actual scene was.

 Saddest movie EVER.

So, anime scenes that have made my cry buckets...

'Battle Angel Alita', when Yugo lets go of her hand and falls, smiling?

'Vision of Escaflowne', when Van sees Allen kiss Hitomi?  When Van sends her back to Earth?

The movie of 'Escaflowne', when the mystic moon (Earth) disappears from the sky?  

'Chrno Crusade', Rosette and Chrno's last moments?

The incredibly depressing, realistic ending of 'Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann'?

All of these are pretty high up on the list (and there are many more which I will probably kick myself for not mentioning), but I think it's a tie between Yugo and Rosette and Chrno's deaths.

 

Dammit, Yugo!!!!  I'm sure she could have saved you somehow!

And who thought this was a good way to end the series!  Okay, it could have been worse, but still...
