Searching~ (why yes again)

By fleyer. 05/11/09, 12:00 pm

This time I'm looking for a bittersweet anime. You know something like full moon. I'd like attachable characters and character death (but in a sweet way you know)
Parental love if possible but I'm also open to everything again =P
As two examples I'll say Full Moon cause that is a good example of bittersweet love, and Chrno Crusade is sweet but I'm looking for others too. I don't mind how long it is X3

EDIT: If it makes me bawl my eyes out like Full Moon and Chrno Crusade that's awesome too cause I know it'll be good XD

Clannad AS... rofl... I suppose that counts
Actually, Kanon and Air too. God damnit Key.

Ga-Rei zero, maybe?

I think a few scenes in Starship Operators, perhaps

Venus versus Virus wasn't a particularly good show but I guess it might have some of those elements.

Ah, the 2 Ef series, perhaps

Got told that Grave of the Fireflies was bittersweet- If you don't mind downloading a anime movie :3

And the Girl who Jumped across time kind- of has it's bittersweet moments, but- that's another movie..

Think Air is kinda sad/ bittersweet..

And some random person online says that School Days is "Shocking and Sad " xD

And think Honey and Clover has a sad ending too..

I'm not sure if you can call School Days as a "bittersweet" anime...

Air would definitely count as one. I cried at the last episode.

... Yeah, Key is pretty good at the bittersweet. Though I kinda feel let down with Kanon's ending.

Who said anything about the Ayu route...

Use the Makoto route if you want bittersweet.

I never really liked Ayu, to be honest, but Makoto route = ;_;.

An anime movie I can recommend is "Five Centimeters Per Second". Ending's pretty bittersweet, if not ambiguous.

AIR! It's a little slow in the beginning but it made me bawl like crazy!
There's always the Fruits Basket manga, I cry through almost every vol. TAT (I'm starting to think I cry through most anime & manga, lol Ima a poofter! 8D)

Hell NO. School days is horrific, man.

(and i though you said you cried in things that weren't remotely sad.)

Yes Girl who leapt through time,
and wolfs rain,

would also add Voices of a distant star, although no death, just a hanging, almost loss ...
