My fave Sad/Tragic Anime Couples whose ending breaks your heart.
Charlotte and Meier Link-Vampire Hunter D bloodlust.
She loves the Baron and the Vampire Baron loves her and bounty hunters just cant give them a break; trying to seperate them by trying to kill Meier and take Charlotte back to her family. They Tried hard and failed. Still the ending breaks your heart especially when Meier howled and cried devastatingly while clutching Charlotte to him. And Baron Meier is supposedly the villain of the story btw.
Gin and Hotaru- Into the Forest of Fireflies.
Faerie boy meets little human girl and he has to watch her grow from a young squirt to a pretty young lady. Theres a “No touchy” policy or else Faerie boy disintegrates into sparkly lights but in the end… Sigh* you know how it ends tho.
Sol Zagato and Princess Emeraude- Magic Knight Rayearth
We all thought Princess Damsel in Distress is being held captive by a power hungry evil tyrant but in the end we found out that the evil Dark Mage only wanted to be with his princess lover but to do so he has to free the princess from her burden as the Pillar of a magical planet. They died in the end…sucks
Kousei Arima and Kaori Miyazono- Your lie in April
Sooo, if you have a crush or had fallen in love with someone and you only have like a year to live, have the courage to confess as soon as possible. And just because the girl you like tells you she likes another guy, confess your feelings for her still… But oh well, thats how young love is… Romantic and idiotic and makes you cry.
Van and Hitomi- Vision of Escaflowne
Im happy both character lived but Still its a bittersweet ending. The moment they had finally confessed their feelings of love to each other was the moment Hitomi had to return to earth.
Menma and Jinta- Anohana, the flower we saw that day.
The Girl died before they even have to confess each others feelings. The girl returned as a ghost but her time is short and any romantic resolution will never come into fruition.
Makoto and Chiaki- The Girl who Leapt through Time.
Despite their feelings for one another, due to the nature of Makoto’s time traveling abilities, the couple can never truly be together. Kinda reminds you of The Time Travellers Wife.
Nia and Simon- Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
From Childhood Friends to teenage Lovers to Enemies and Married Couple. Though it was a happy wedding but a bittersweet one bcoz Nia dissolves and fades after the kiss.
So what’s your tragic pair/lovers/ship?
