mine would be the angel beats thing it made me cry.. 

mscoral : OMG. i hate Shou Tucker. This was by far the saddest moment of anime history. I also hated when Ed died. That was so sad X(

ecoe9900 : Well like I said I’m not real big into anime but it is an animated movie so it kind of fits even though I can understand what you’re saying. It’s been well over twenty years since I’ve seen that movie so I take it there is a difference in anime now. I apologize for the mistake.

When tetsuo died at the end of akira.

Ultimate Deathwish : i think the end of angle beats is making everyone cry .

1) When L dies in Death note. (I immediately shouted, dang it!)

2) When light dies in Death note (I saw it coming, thanks to a certain video in the related searches section before i finished the series. It was titled Light Yagami dies.)

That's a bit of a tough question, actually.

I can't say any moment made me cry from sadness (or cry at all, mind you), but going off of that, the saddest moment would be, to my memory, Angel Beats!, at the end when Kanade found her happiness and disappeared. So many feels in that moment.

ShinyEevee :   I'll be honest, I got choked up when Ash got turned to stone and all the Pokémon started crying in Pokémon the first movie.

When nail dies in dbz, also when zero dies in mega man x 5

My saddest moment was in one piece when the merry sank a water seven and some of the crew began to cry

My saddest moment would have to be the one scene in Elfen Lied where the group of boys beat Lucy's puppy to death.

That one scene in episode 3 of Kaiba.  If you've seen it, you know the one; when she plays that piano.  Do I really not remember anything else about that part?  Dang.  Kaiba's a strange, kind of melancholy sci-fi series with a lot of sad moments, but that one hit me hard.  The ending of Gunbuster was sad, too.  The first half of that show was nothing special, but the latter half was just awesome, and the sixth episode was unlike anything I'd seen before.

Still, the only time I've ever cried thanks to an anime, besides from laughter, is when I watched Junkers Come Here, probably because it dealt with family issues.  As I was watching the final scene - the very final scene - the video player stopped working.  I cried even more.  And I think everyone else in the room thought I was being a freaky spoiled brat.  I hadn't expected a movie about a magical talking dog to make me feel that way.

Oh, and a lot of parts in Fullmetal Alchemist are sad, too!

You know, I think I'll also have to go with the first Pokémon movie where Ash got turned to stone. I was young when I watched it and it was quite a surprise to me to see a main character almost die.

When envy does suicide in "Fullmetal Alchmist Brotherhood"  I thought I was gonna cry and I have cried in....I can't remeber since that's how long its been

ugh, I have so many sad anime moments. Definitely some of the saddest are (I can't narrow it down much further):
1. Where Robin's childhood gets revealed in One Piece. She meets her mother for the first time in years (but her mom cant initially accept her as her daughter. That in particular got to me.) and then her whole island got destroyed
2. In DNAngel when Daisuke found out that Satoshi was dying. I actually teared up there, despite never liking Satoshi :3 
3. In Hunter x Hunter when Killua had to abandon Gon in order to save him. 

The most sad moment of anime for me was when Gin got killed by Aizen, he fought for Rangiku till the end.. Tragic love story, tragic hero...

in wolf's rain where toboe gets shot by quent when he was about to shoot darcia i almost cried at that scene.

The last episode of Cowboy Bebop and the last few episodes of Angel Beats were pretty sad, I thought.

I'd have to say that the saddest anime moment I have ever seen was in Code Geass when


The part that really got me was that all this was done for the sake of making sure that Lelouch's younger sister would remain safe and happy. I would also have to agree with some of the other people about Clannad After Story. It's impossible to watch Clannad After Story and not feel some form of sadness in your heart for what occurs.

Yeah, the endings to Cowboy Bebop and Death Note were quite unexpected, in the sense that you knew some sort of final, dramatic event was to occur, or rather, had to occur, but kept silent, not being able to ponder anything in your mind at that moment, and just simply watched those final, climactic scenes in awe. They were beautiful, spectacular, and masterfully dramatic endings to masterpieces that couldn't have concluded in any other way, according to their stories... in my opinion.

Another great moment is during the Cell Games Saga in Dragon Ball Z, when
