Day 9 Saddest anime scene
A lot of the other ones are hard, but this one? No competition.
Fushigi Yuugi, Episode 33. If you've seen FY, you know why. (Is there any point in trying to avoid spoilers in this meme?)
Link is a MAJOR SPOILER. (I actually found the scene that immediately precedes this one even sadder ("Open your eyes!"), but couldn't find a subtitled version on youtube -- and the dubbed version was just painful to watch in a whole different way.)

A lot of people mentioned the big character deaths in Trigun, FMA and Cowboy Bebop. And the Kenshin OVAs (which don't exist in my head canon, so they are not allowed to be sad). And of course there's Grave of the Fireflies, which I flat-out refuse to watch.

Though, I've never made it that far into FY for comparison - I never made it past the whole Yui nonsense.

That would be my guess. Certainly a lot of my feelings for that show are colored by nostalgia goggles.
Grave of the Fireflies, which I flat-out refuse to watch.
Ugh, same.

Also, pah! Neither canon nor common decency will stand between me and slashing

(It's been more than five years, hasn't it. I refuse to check a calendar and acknowledge this fact.)
ETA: that arrow is totally not pointing at my icon. However, I shall accept the limits of text-based arrows and pretend that it is.

And can I admit something? I mean, this is so dumb, because, you know, I've watched the whole of every FY thing like 6 times, plus the manga of course, and I was SUPER MEGA OMG OBSESSED with it, but I kind of... forgot they died. I mean, of course if I thought about it, I'd remember, but like.. I know what happened after so at first I was like, "Wait, Nuriko died...? OMG WTF BRAIN!?" (It's kind of like knowing the Senshi die, because you know they come back to life with the moon crystal? I DON'T KNOW, I'M STUPID, LEAVE ME ALONE.)
Also? FMA ... yeah, that's a big ACK. (But is it EVER easy when characters you like die? I mean, it's always sad.)
I was vaguely and semi-thinking of Grave of the Fireflies (among other things) when I posted my comment above to W_10_00. I didn't mention it specifically though because I haven't seen it myself. And I won't watch it either. I have movies I know will be kind of sad, and I'm prepared for those, but not Grave of the Fireflies.

I feel like my answer to saddest will seem sooooooooper lame in comparison. (Also, I feel like a lot of my answers are going to one particular show that unevenly skews my fandom to look like it's something that it isn't. Hey can I be more vague?) I feel like I'm ashamed to say answer this one, even among friends, lol?
