Day 9 Saddest anime scene

[sara_tanaquil]

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.)

Maybe it's a generational thing?

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.

Did you hear that? Characters die in FMA.

It's OK, we can still slash them as long as they're not married.

For the record, I decided to translate what the panda was writing to see if you were upset with me. And it took me 12 minutes. And then I realized you had provided the romanization in the tag.

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

<-- shameless thing-slashing

Dude, why would I be upset with you? You're the one who should be upset with ME for spoiling FMA for you. I mean, assuming you hold grudges for five years.

(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.
