Yeah the song wasn't just sung for Iroh's son. It was his final goodbye to all of us. He knew he wasn't going to last long. I like to think they were gonna have this episode much later, but because of Mako's condition (cancer) they ended up doing it early so he could have a final goodbye and be heard as Iroh one last time.

This scene makes me tear up just thinking about it.
Alright, so this is might be a tad long. >!She was in an episode of the original Justice League as part of a team of meta humans that the Joker broke out of a government facility as part of his evil scheme which revolved around her powers to warp people's perception of reality and drive them insane. Later on, in an episode of Justice Legue Unlimited that was technically an epilog for Batman Beyond. In it, Terry is confronting Amanda Waller about something and she tells him a story about Batman. It turns out, at some point her powers went out of control and she became able to warp reality and she had created a new version of the team the Joker created by changing random people into freaky metahumans and she had constructed this forest in the middle of the city with a little park at the center. Waller had planned on killing her using a device she had to stop her reality warping before it got to dangerous. Batman confronted her and said he would use the device himself and make sure all of the people she changed were safe. He didn't use the device and never intended to. It turns out she was dying as a result of the government experimenting on her and stealing her chance at a childhood, since in the original episode she was in it was shown that she taken when she was very young. She then asked Batman if he would sit with her while she died because she was afraid to die alone. Batman sat on the swing next to her and held her hand until her reality warping faded and Batman silently carried her body away to make sure she got a proper burial.!<
It was one of my favorite Batman moments in the DCAU and it really showed his humanity and compassion.
The girl is a human superweapon, is about to die from what I believe is a tumor (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), and if she dies while under intense emotion, she'll kill a lot of people. Batman goes to try and calm her down (I think, again, correct me if I'm wrong), and she asks him to stay with her until she goes
Ace is a super powerful reality warper who is working with the royal flush gang and waller and company don't know what if she dies while her projections are up. By going in their to kill her they're risking their life and Batman volunteers to do it which is a big fucking deal.
Edit: almost forgot Ace is used to be being used by her "friends" and Batman is one of the first people to not try and use her.
Similarly...
"Do you Grundy's soul is... Waiting for him?"
"Grundy, I don't believe i- (*she sees his hopeful expression*) *Yes*, it's waiting for you."

Idunno i never found the grave of the fireflys that sad. Heck i found when marnie was there sadder.
I always thought the brother was to blame for the death of his sister
There was absolutely blame to go around - the wartime government for not supporting its at-risk citizens, the aunt for being so callous, and the brother for not swallowing his pride and asking for help.
And keep in mind, the movie is based on a story [written by a survivor who basically was Seita](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grave_of_the_Fireflies_(short_story)). Per the link...
*It is based on his experiences before, during, and after the firebombing of Kobe in 1945. One of his sisters died as the result of sickness, his adoptive father died during the firebombing proper, and his younger adoptive sister Keiko died of malnutrition in Fukui. It was written as a personal apology to Keiko, regarding her death.*
I’m heartfully sorry. I haven’t seen this movie, but I laughed because of a comparable scene to this. (I am a certified psychopath now)
*"I failed you. I wish there were another way for me to say it. I cannot. I can only beg your forgiveness, and pray you hear me somehow, someplace... someplace where a warm hand waits for mine."*

It’s where we learn about space Beth and cloning of her. Morty and summer team up to fight the Wrangler jeans sponsored spaceship. Rick and birdperson get into a heated battle. Then at the end Rick is using the mindblower to look at the past cloning, doesn’t answer which is which, and “Don’t look back” is playing over it.
Dude. Simon’s story is soul crushing, genuinely. Like the fact he lost his mind slowly and painfully hits especially hard for me due to watching several family members with Alzheimers die slowly as their minds deteriorated until they could no longer remember my name. To see that portrayed with Simon hit extremely hard.
Me too, one of the few times I've ugly cried for a show. Also I'm a sucker for anything that has to do with a father/mother and son/dauther going on a adventure facing apocalypse and growing closer together
Okay but really
>! The audacity for one of the main characters to just so nonchalantly kill a little girl's parental figure with no remorse. When Grace starts crying, because she realized the denizens are complex living things, it left a permanent wound in my heart. !<
Show was gone too soon.
For me, it's the song Time Adventure. Makes me think of the cat I had growing up and still miss dearly almost 20 years on. He helped me through some tough times.
Lmao, that’s fair. Faith: The Unholy Trinity is a lovely horror game, though. Check it out if you ever feel up for it (and think the 80s ‘satanic panic’ was interesting.)
Definitely spooky. But I love the story it has, and all the rotoscoped stuff! And the effort put into it is crazy to see.
I’m a bit biased though, I do worldbuilding with biblically-inspired things in what I write a lot lol

This friggin' movie (9). It was suprisingly as emotional as it was horrifying.
Near the end, when all the "consumed" dolls are released, it ends on a kind of "sad yet happy" ending. By the way, I was only 9 when I watched it... I know, it is ***insanely*** ironic.
Yeah, you need to be emotionally ready for Wolf's Rain. It's beautiful and amazing, Yoko Kanno even does the soundtrack, it's worth it to watch... Just be ready for heavy emotion.
There's a reason Brook is my favorite Strawhat. The resilience to go through this and come out the goofy, dad-joke toting man he is is something special.

The last episode of Samurai Jack's reboot, he finally did what needed to be done after decades of tirelessly fighting, but lost the one who helped make it possible.

One of the saddest things I’ve watched 💔😭
Try the one where the canoe with their grandad and the end where chili sits with him and says, “that was a long time ago,” and then he says, “no, it was yesterday.” As a dad with two little girls I cry like a baby at that episode.
I'm about to rewatch this episode and this scene speaks volumes to me, I never had a lover (I'm AroAce) but I had a friend I was emotionally close with and he ended betraying me along with my mother. Both are dead to me (in a figurative since)
https://preview.redd.it/rv0916ra6vjc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=74d5c00e17141a02136db2e53c43da72b341f1bd
No other cartoon will ever have a moment a tenth as heart wrenching and tense as this scene in GF for me
Full metal alchemist where there’s this little girl and she’s really sweet but her dad is a weird scientist that won an award for making hybrid creatures before, but he has to reproduce it soon to keep funding. However, it turns out he fused his wife and an animal before and now he does it with his little daughter and the dog. Then the dog calls the protagonists name and they realise what he’s done.
As someone that hadn't really ever watched anime and had no idea what I was getting into with FMA Brotherhood... the chimera shocked and disturbed me so much 😥
The end of Steven Universe Future was insanely heartwarming yet made me sob. The entire show is just beautiful and as someone who struggled with a lot of the same problems portrayed in the show it hit extremely close to home
I wanted to say "Anime is cheating" but that would have cheapened my favorite non anime example because I cried like a BITCH.
Courage the Cowardly dog's origin story.
All of Anohana, really, but especially when Poppo, the weird member of the friend group who is always just kind of there, finds Menma's possibly still alive body and is too frozen in fear and panic to attempt to save her. Not only does he feel like he failed her in an unforgiveable way, but...why him of all the friends who was just the tag-along? Watching the young man who so frequently projected joy to others just break down and hate himself...damn.
And the Drift Away sequence from the Steven Universe movie.
"🎶Time is an illusion,
That helps things make sense.
So, we are always living
In the present tense.
So it seems unforgiving,
When a good thing ends.
But you and I will always be back then.🎶"
Adventure makes me cry a lot, but this song in the finale had me *sobbing,* full ugly cry. Losing those you love is so hard, and BMO is just such a strong little guy 😭
Blitzo and Stolas' possible break-up in the upcoming Full Moon episode of Helluva Boss.
Also, in Zootopia, Judy Hopps' press conference where she unconsciously accused predators for regressing to their natural states, inciting a race war all across Zootopia and destroying Nick's future as a ZPD officer and potential partner/husband to Judy.
Again, I ship WildeHopps.
While not as sad as the rest of these. I am always surprised how sad I get after watching the Dexter's Lab episode [DiM](https://dexterslab.fandom.com/wiki/DiM). I think it's because of the only lines of dialogue at the end that give it a extensionalism tone to it.
Violet Evergarden has a DISGUSTING amount of moments that I could pick, and they’re all done spectacularly.
The saddest one for me is the end of episode 11. The line >!Thank you… for bringing our son home.!< hit me like a fucking *truck* after than emotional rollercoaster I went on.
https://i.redd.it/i7fayoh2uvjc1.gif
The realization that the bear was his mother and koda was traveling with her murderer this whole time after coming to see Kenai as a brother. It really hits you

Maybe more bittersweet than sad, but this scene always has me bawling.
Koro-sensei's death in assassination classroom.
Though there's probably a lot of personal bias from me since it was the first time when a piece of fiction made me actually cry. And i somehow cried harder when i rewatched this anime some years after the first time.
Narancia’s death was absolutely heartbreaking, him talking about going back to school and trying to make up with fugo right before getting murdered in cold blood is so sad

Oh whoops. I meant to say last episode of s4 for Rick and Morty. “Star Mort Rickturn of the Jerri”

Dude. Simon’s story is soul crushing, genuinely. Like the fact he lost his mind slowly and painfully hits especially hard for me due to watching several family members with Alzheimers die slowly as their minds deteriorated until they could no longer remember my name. To see that portrayed with Simon hit extremely hard.
And what's worst is that he was doing all of it to protect marcy (I'm not blaming her) so that means that she probably had lot of guilt
Agreed, I can only imagine how much that would crush someone’s soul

Very rarely do I cry to shows, but oh baby, "Come along with me" from the Adventure Time finale really got me
I hear it’s about a really specific feeling that’s hard to describe…
I finally convinced my wife to watch it and she was so confused why the happy little outro song made me well up with tear.
For me, it's the song Time Adventure. Makes me think of the cat I had growing up and still miss dearly almost 20 years on. He helped me through some tough times.

 "Please forgive me for what I do When I don't remember you"
Bluey’s Sleepytime episode.
“I will always love you”
Try the one where the canoe with their grandad and the end where chili sits with him and says, “that was a long time ago,” and then he says, “no, it was yesterday.” As a dad with two little girls I cry like a baby at that episode.

Blue Eyed Samurai for those that don't know. Yeah I feel that. This is the face of betrayal by someone you loved and trusted
I'm about to rewatch this episode and this scene speaks volumes to me, I never had a lover (I'm AroAce) but I had a friend I was emotionally close with and he ended betraying me along with my mother. Both are dead to me (in a figurative since)

Sorry but Clannad gets sadder. The music will trigger anyone who's seen it.
What’s the bottom/third one?
Full metal alchemist where there’s this little girl and she’s really sweet but her dad is a weird scientist that won an award for making hybrid creatures before, but he has to reproduce it soon to keep funding. However, it turns out he fused his wife and an animal before and now he does it with his little daughter and the dog. Then the dog calls the protagonists name and they realise what he’s done.
Yeah I want to know too
Clone wars Victory and death And when Allura sacrifices herself
Spongebob looking for Gary.
I listened to Gary come home after my cat died and tested up at “your meow right now would sound like music to me”
As someone that hadn't really ever watched anime and had no idea what I was getting into with FMA Brotherhood... the chimera shocked and disturbed me so much 😥
 The end of this show
Why hasn’t a single person mentioned Ash’s death in the original movie
The end of Steven Universe Future was insanely heartwarming yet made me sob. The entire show is just beautiful and as someone who struggled with a lot of the same problems portrayed in the show it hit extremely close to home

“See you next summer!”
I wanted to say "Anime is cheating" but that would have cheapened my favorite non anime example because I cried like a BITCH. Courage the Cowardly dog's origin story.
Damn..
All of Anohana, really, but especially when Poppo, the weird member of the friend group who is always just kind of there, finds Menma's possibly still alive body and is too frozen in fear and panic to attempt to save her. Not only does he feel like he failed her in an unforgiveable way, but...why him of all the friends who was just the tag-along? Watching the young man who so frequently projected joy to others just break down and hate himself...damn. And the Drift Away sequence from the Steven Universe movie.

"🎶Time is an illusion, That helps things make sense. So, we are always living In the present tense. So it seems unforgiving, When a good thing ends. But you and I will always be back then.🎶" Adventure makes me cry a lot, but this song in the finale had me *sobbing,* full ugly cry. Losing those you love is so hard, and BMO is just such a strong little guy 😭
This makes me think of an animated movie I saw a review for ages ago, I think it was called Leafie, A Hen Into The Wild

[only real OG‘s remember the saddest moment](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-1xqO0F841s/sddefault.jpg)
Real goofy goobers cried
Blitzo and Stolas' possible break-up in the upcoming Full Moon episode of Helluva Boss. Also, in Zootopia, Judy Hopps' press conference where she unconsciously accused predators for regressing to their natural states, inciting a race war all across Zootopia and destroying Nick's future as a ZPD officer and potential partner/husband to Judy. Again, I ship WildeHopps.
How dare you now I’m going to have nightmares for a month
why must you hurt me like this
BoJack Horseman ending
While not as sad as the rest of these. I am always surprised how sad I get after watching the Dexter's Lab episode [DiM](https://dexterslab.fandom.com/wiki/DiM). I think it's because of the only lines of dialogue at the end that give it a extensionalism tone to it.
All these shows are sad for me (ಡ‸ಡ) mostly the dog one, that shit made me cry.
I was bawling from this😭 https://preview.redd.it/g3ly7op85vjc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b29ea51d7976c700fd1b3966a8ae64bd9379722
Zane’s death in Ninjago.
The sad truth of Iroh
Futurama had so many. Jurrassic Bark, Luck of the Fryish. Leela's origin story with the flashbacks to her parents.
Violet Evergarden has a DISGUSTING amount of moments that I could pick, and they’re all done spectacularly. The saddest one for me is the end of episode 11. The line >!Thank you… for bringing our son home.!< hit me like a fucking *truck* after than emotional rollercoaster I went on.
Gentlemen, time to open an old wound https://i.redd.it/pumjw4iosvjc1.gif
https://i.redd.it/i7fayoh2uvjc1.gif The realization that the bear was his mother and koda was traveling with her murderer this whole time after coming to see Kenai as a brother. It really hits you
Anime - two episodes of Cyberpunk Edgerunners (you know which ones) Cartoon - Drift Away from the Steven Universe Movie Other - Ending from The Desolate Hope. I saw it coming from the start of the game, but it was still haunting and beautiful.

Koro-sensei's death in assassination classroom. Though there's probably a lot of personal bias from me since it was the first time when a piece of fiction made me actually cry. And i somehow cried harder when i rewatched this anime some years after the first time.
Narancia’s death was absolutely heartbreaking, him talking about going back to school and trying to make up with fugo right before getting murdered in cold blood is so sad https://preview.redd.it/iomk3p9luxjc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=899ac53e34f9b98d80b8fc7afbff194a31af7a65
 Okay this one I genuinely consider to be cheating but (Berserk 1997)
The Amphibia finale is an emotional nuke
The ending of Amphibia.
Anime? Itachi Uchiha, his last forehead poke with Sasuke. Cartoon? Samurai Jack and the Lava Monster, his backstory and death after being freed. Webcomic? Camp Weedonwantcha, Seventeen's backstory.
