The most emotional moment for me in the manga was the line "Nana is indispensable" from Kurama after he kills Barbara, a clone of his dead daughter Mariko. I'm gonna spoil it, so don't read further if you want to check it out. The manga is especially sad, because it goes on for longer and has so many feelsy moments. It has a few flaws, but everything does, and it doesn't really take away from the impact for me. I respect and love it for that, and it's a good eye-opener for people who think otherwise. It shows you just how dark and uncaring the world can be, and it doesn't try to hide that fact. That kind of stuff happens in the world, and it was kind of nice to see it represented even though how despicable it is. Honestly, the content was never really a turn-off to me just because of how depressingly REAL it is. It's soooo underated and misunderstood because of what kind of content it has. It is such a strong and emotional anime that really makes you feel for each of the three main Diclonius, somehow even Mariko with episode 13. I feel like it accurately depicts how humans would react to Diclonius, and that makes me kinda sad. It's one of those anime that deserves to be recognized for how real it is. This is a great list so far, the saddest anime for me is Shigatsu Wa Kimi no Uso (Your Lie in April).Įlfen Lied is honestly my favorite anime of all time. I wish to see some more anime like these again. These anime made me cry (I hardly ever cry) and i felt so relieved. I have a few of the best anime in my mind. but how about Saikano? thats pretty sad no? This one I saw as a kid so maybe my memory is off. Consider this list of relatable anime if you enjoy this one.
