Gunslinger Girl(although the manga was better), Welcome to the NHK and your pic.
How in the bloody fuck is Toradora the saddest thing you ever watched?
Texhnolyze easy.
Comet Lucifer.Do Moooon!
Why are school children still being exposed to garbage like Romeo and Juliet instead of masterpieces like Toradora?
The love story in Romeo and Juliet is romance at its most superficial and one-dimensional. There's no substance or depth or chemistry in the interactions between the two main characters. They exchange cliche love dialogue which mostly consists of them adoring each other's good looks.The basis for the attraction Romeo has to Juliet is that she's a generically handsome and polite young girl. Yet, it is implied that there is a deeper emotional connection between the two that has never been established because they barely even know each other.
Toradora, on the other hand, is the greatest love story ever told. I can't think of any other work of fiction in which two lovers fit together as well as Taiga and Ryuuji. The flaws of one character are perfectly complemented by the strengths of the other. Ryuujifs practicality and low-key attitude is the perfect yin to Taigafs abrasive, loud, and fiercely liberal spiritfs yang. Each finds comfort in the other as well, as Ryuujifs paternal instincts being a support to Taiga, whofs family life is nonexistent, and her consequences-be-damned attitude liberates Ryuuji from the pressure of having to always act so mature.
I think that the only reason why garbage like Romeo and Juliet is still regarded with such reverence is because of historic, rather than artistic, reasons. It was highly influential in the past. Therefore, it must be great art. It certainly was influential, but it's still a superficial love story which Shakespeare actually stole from people like William Painter and Arthur Brooke.

That Christmas episode was heartbreaking, you bakas.
>>134619229
Nice pasta.
>>134619229
I dropped Toradora on the second to last episode. Them eloping was stupid.
Also the animation quality took a massive nose dive. Like when the main girl who's name I forgot got into that fight with the class president. Holy shit what a an utter trainwreck the animation was. They should run out the guy who was in charge of that scene from the industry for thinking that's acceptable.

Holy fucking fuck someone else who actually saw the masterpiece that was texhnolyze. That was indeed the saddest ending ever but god damn it was perfect. Your taste gives me hope for /a/ anon.
Also, Tokyo Magnitude got me because I have a twin brother I am super close to. Ellen Lied was tragic too, not really soul crushing though, plus the whole nowit'sraining.jpg thing with worst girl was as previously stated, comedy gold
>>134620776

>That Christmas episode was heartbreaking, you bakas.
it would have been sad if Taiga wasn't pretty much guaranteed to get with Ryuuji anyway, so I just felt moved.
If, say, Minori and Ryuuji got together at the dance because of Taiga's nudging. We see them look into each others eyes and have their little moment, finally.
Then we switch back to Taiga, and she smiles and hugs the scarf. Tears start to well from nowhere and the scene plays out as normal, she runs into the street screaming his name and falls to her knees. That would have been heartbreaking.
Buuut no, Minori was a total bro and Taiga got what she wanted, so I can't feel bad for her.
>>134622142
Taiga was also a bro, she acted in both Ryuuji's and Minori's interest and wanted both them to be happy. Venting off your emotions is not a bad/selfish thing, considering the fact that she did support them until the very end.
Also, I never said you should be sorry for her, I said the episode hit really close to home and it actually made me forget how edgy I am for a moment and shed a tear. But that's just me.
TORADORA IS A TEENAGE DRAMA HOLY SHIT HOW CAN ANYONE LIKE THIS?
ITS DECENT BUT GET SOME TASTE GUYS.
ALSO,OP is a faggot if he thinks Toradora is sad.

Clannad after story
The only anime where I actually shed a tear
It's unusual for me to do anything as feminine as crying but I did at the end of Haibane Renmei
when did the characters stop being kekolds in toradora i got as far as sword scene
>>134622842
>HOW CAN ANYONE LIKE THIS? ITS DECENT

Finish it or you'll read a wiki. Either way, don't be a baka.
>>134623785
Finish it or read a wiki.*
Instrumentality is pretty sad when you realise Gendo and Shinji are the only people not accepted within it.
>>134623888
Shinji wanted to fuck his mom
This shit somehow managed to juggle edge, comedy and tragedy perfectly for me.
>>134620776
OP here, I never said that toradora was the saddest anime I watched, I was just watching and this scene gave me the idea for the thread
but gotta admit it was sad
>>134619836
I wasn't prepared for the Chroniko episode
>>134623323
I've seen some people on /a/ say its a happy ending which is true but only because of stuff that seems like a major ass-pull unless you go through the VN.
But yeah, After Story ripped me apart.
it still stings
>>134625666
Neither was I. The one I posted, that one, and episode 7 made me all cry bitch tears.
The latter half was sad and twisted as well but none of its episodes even came close to the earlier ones in how sad and fucked up they were. And besidesKichi transferring his mind into an awesome mecha in the finalekinda eased the mood for me.
>>134620776
Is there a valid BD rip available?
utawarerumono, code geass, katanagatri, flcl, speed grapher and many more

>>134619836
>>134623323
These are the only answers so far that are good.
>>134622142
I don`t know if "heartbreaking" has to do with you having to feel bad about Taiga. I cried like a bitch watching not because of that, but because it was touching to see her feelings towards Ryuuji, we usually get rekt when we act based to a girl, it was refreshing to see it working in there.

Same, the ending of the twins arc fucked me up
>>134625823
It didn't rip me apart but the part where the MC made up with his dad hit me too close to home, didn't cry when Nagisa died though
>>134633910
I left high school 4 years ago with good grades but for some reason I related a lot to the MC. Nagisa's death got me big cause I more or less marathoned Clannad and After Story so I got to see the whole development. Ushio's was worse though, it looked like everything had finally sorted itself out and then the show decided to fuck us up. Ushio was also 2adorable5me.
