That entire series needs to get on Bluray. Grimmer and Dr Tenma made a pretty good team
The deaths in JoJo are always sad. They happen so quick and when they die, they die. Nothing is drawn out.
Gai Daigoji in Nadesico.
That was early on, but never got over that shit. Dude was pure, was a terrible loss for the crew Akito was lost for a while afterwards.
Hell yeah, some else knows what's up. Gai's death felt so pointless at first, but Akito eventually grew from it.
Nuriko is a great one too. Never watched much Robotech.
I was friends with Brett Weaver, Gai's english Voice actor many years ago from Anime conventions. Awesome guy.

Yes to the FMA '03 early series deaths. Both of those hit me like a ton of bricks.
I wish FMA Brotherhood could be fused into the series seemlessly after the first 15-20 episodes because the second half of FMA '03 feels like hollow fanfic.
Brotherhood caught me off guard at the end with
Also damn you people for the unmarked HxH spoilers. I'm still going through Greed Island. Not cool.

Greed's sacrifice. I was sobbing. I don't know why. I cry every time I rewatch it. Especially the scene when he watches everyone cheering on Ed and has that self-revelation.

=( At least he kicked some Frieza soldiers asses and actually made the ToP roster and actually had a couple eliminations.
Damn straight disrespect in his episode that was taken over by Master Roshi, and the 2 on 2 Gohan and Piccolo vs Goku and Tien also disrespectful
Assuming we are fortunate to have anime adaptations for both, Parts 6 and 7 will have people fucked up for ages.
Next you'll tell me that Johnny isn't the hero of The Karare Kid.
Clannad:
Particularly in the way the aftermath is handled. The best of Clannad/Clannad: Afterstory really doesn't emerge until after this exact point... that's when its heart-wrenching treatise on familyhood and connectivity genuinely begins.
Honestly, I wasn't a huge fan of Clannad, yet this managed to stab me in the gut anyway. The death and its aftermath was really, really well-executed.
OP

I forgot how powerful this sequence was, everyone knew how far Guts went over the line when he did that, even him. It's kind of weird how that scene stood out to me in a show like Berserk where you'd think it would get drowned out.
It's a terrible day for rain...
That scene in FMA Brotherhood guts me so hard I'm tearing up thinking about it

Holy shit, I guess the futuristic remake ending is super happy in comparison.
Oh god, this one actually made me tear up. That fucking setup for the "funeral" gave me flashbacks to putting my dog to sleep.
The bed, the dolls; ugh, not a good time.

Pretty much the entirety of the ending to Ideon Be-Invoked.
If you mean in a less poorly worded "character assassination" rather than character death,I don't know if Videl really fits the bill. Everyone likes her, sure, but it was an otherwise natural progression for a series built on power creep and humans literally never being able to keep up with the Saiyans and other aliens species. That and a time jump in Super ensured there was no way she was staying the way she was. My only regret was that there should have been a Great Saiyaman series spinoff instead of making it a part of the final full story arc, because there was tons of untapped potential in there.
Nobody made it out alive (at all). The entire known universe got nuked and everyone became naked ghosts that no longer fed bloodlust or fear or hatred for each other. Then an unborn baby flies out of its mother's womb and leads them all to a new planet much like Earth, essentially to start over.

this shit was too much
It didn't stop there though, and the one AFTER it hurt more.
That is one strong scene.
Lol, OP got me scared since I don't watch Super and Videl is one of my favorite DB characters. I had to wikipedia that.
Yeah, Toriyama fucked up for sure. She should have become Krilin-tier and get her own Tien vs Cell moment.
I've said it before but I would pay good money for a show centered on her and Gohan in high school. Those early Buu saga episodes aren't enough, I need more.

and now i'm crying.
Also devilman crybaby got me, didn't cry, was simply shocked, it was so well done, i knew it was gonna happen because i read the manga, the manga death didn't shock me or anything, and yet crybaby left me feeling a void in my chest
Devilman Crybaby made me just feel empty at the end. I didn't feel anything, it was like all my feelings were removed and my heart became a vacuum for that 10 minutes. I fel t terrible.
