The most touching anime or j-drama?

Kirirao · 3 Dec 2004

Hiya minna-sama,

So whats the most touching anime or j-drama you've ever seen? *i'm a sucka for touching and sad stories*. Everyday, more and more anime and jdrama of this genre appeared in my list. but i need more~~~~

for me, up until now, the best was probally Figure 17, watching those two twins(tsubasa and hikaru) bonds, having fun together, and in the end, how they separated, its really sad, and really touching on how one of them continues with her life afterwards...

the best j-drama probally Beautiful Life, since i havent watched lots of them yet i cant really make up my mind on this, but for now, this is the currently the most touching j-drama ive ever seen. Its a love story about a hairdresser(?) and a disable librarian. and how the story progresses and ends really touched my heart.

Do you have any anime or jdrama that makes you cry for weeks... tell me about it...

I'm not a huge fan of romantic anime, but Boys Over Flowers was really good. Oh, and Magic Users Club! Can anyone say "fanservice"? ^.^"

I don't know exactly what you mean by "touching", but by my definition... Prince of Tennis isn't a sad, make you cry anime, but it touches you. It really shows how to never give up, and to do your best! I love that anime sooooooooooo much. It's really good. Can't wait to finish it. Ja

Boys over Flowers is definatly a good one. but mine has to be petshop of horrors and mars

Ooh, tough one. As silly as the show is most of the time, the final episodes of Nadesico really, really got to me. Not in a sad way, but heartwarming instead. Between the reclaiming of the ship, the revelations at the bottom of the ruins (trying not to be spoilerish, sorry that I'm vague), and Yurika and Akito's final spat before admitting they love each other (okay, him admitting his end of it--she's been admitting it since episode 1) I just can't help it. As insane as the situations are, I can't help but envy the characters for their interactions. Too bad life can't be scripted sometimes, ne?

I definetly'll have to think on this one..there are a few animes that have really touched me..I'm just not sure which one touched me the most...I'll think on it..^^

Flashjeff · 3 Dec 2004

I'll cast my vote for Boys Over Flowers. Just watched volume 7 last night. A true soap opera in every sense of the word. Watching Tsukushi put through the ringer at Eitoku with the F4 (especially Tsukasa who's at turns tender, caring, clownish and thuggish) is incredibly gripping stuff. Shojo at its best! Can't get enough of that show!

Hayao Miyazaki and ..??

OMG OMG this is sooo my topic..

I have seen lotsa movies about world war 2 , Japanese kids suffering , then pulling out in life.....

"The Grave of the FireFlies" is one , if someone told me they watched that anime movie without drowning their living room into tears then I won't believe them ..

Then there are movies (anime) about stuff like natural disasters: earthquakes , tornadoes FLOODS etc. And I have seen a movie about a flood that envades a city... the ending was very sad...

Usually these anime follow the same , I hate to call it , "style". So I am wondering if anyone knows the name of the "artist" ?? I'm really dying to know .....

hmmmmm, I'd say wolf's rain is a sad anime and can get the softies cryin at certain points. If you are into such things, this will do it for u

mizerable_d · 4 Dec 2004

naruto is pretty touching also...haha...i cried like a baby when i was watching the Haku and Zabuza part... and the other little stories about other characters are very touching also...

Kirirao · 4 Dec 2004

Today ill definately gonna buy it!!! and Boys Over Flowers review is really interesting too... *wobbles off to the nearest anime shop*

dreamer · 4 Dec 2004

Yeah I'd definetly say "the grave of the fireflies", as well as "kimi ga nozomu eien" and "saikano"...can't think of other at the moment since I haven't watched any anime sicne I'm in UK...

neofusion · 5 Dec 2004

I completely agree. The Grave of the Fireflies is definately the most touching, sad anime I have ever seen.
What makes this anime so special is that it is realistic and depicts how "ordinary" children's living conditions were in the last part of the Pacific War from a sociological side i.e. lack of food, poor living conditions etc.

michi · 5 Dec 2004

Grave of the Fireflies is as touching as an anime can get

Apollo · 5 Dec 2004

Seems that the winner is:
Grave of the Fireflies, as the majority has spoken..

Duo · 5 Dec 2004

hmmmm, from what I read on the web, i thought this movie was gonna make me cry a river, but actually when I saw it, i didn't see that the talk was all about. Yes, it's a sad anime, and very good,and touching, but it didn't have me crying like a prom date ditched at the last moment

Apollo · 6 Dec 2004

Of J-movies (not anime) I found "Yomigaeri" a very touching film....The film wasn't sad but it had the touching moments which gave me a lump in my throat!

tenchi_violin · 11 Feb 2006

The most touching anime is "Samurai X" and the most touching anime movie is "Graveyard of the fireflies" and the most touching J-drama is "1 liter of tears" or "1 littoru no namida(窶啀ﾆ椎?ﾆ鍛ﾆ暖ﾆ停?ｹ窶堙娯?氾?". Thanks!

I am watching that drama at the moment, so far so good. The drama is based on a real life story about this 15 years old girl who contracted some very weird disease. I do recommend this if you are looking for some good crying sessions.

I don't get it

what anime can make you cry for weeks? well My most "Touching" Anime was Kikaider: the animation I thought it was sad because no one liked him as a robot and some people eventually hated him calling him a freak which I though was really sad he felt left out from society when all he wanted to do was be human... he cries at the end which brought a tear to my eye...

I don't watch J-drama so I wouldn't know about it...
Naruto can be touching sometimes but it's mostly comedy...

Panta Ray · 19 Mar 2006

The most touching anima, hm, it is certainly Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.

The most touching anime or j-drama?
