Funny to think that One Piece will never show on this list… because it has no end at sight!
Hi no Tori is especially bad. Virtually every story ends in despair. There’s virtually nothing to look forward to in that.
I’d have expected Now and Then, Here and There to make a showing… although if it’s only based on the *ending*, I dunno.
How are there so many ties?
Umm, just personal opinions, however most that made the list are not tragic at all. Can think of more titles that are way more tragic by or at the end.
Seen almost all of them. Personally would only agree with dog of Flanders, she the ultimate weapon, some of hell girl’s eposides.
Partly with MS80 war in the pocket, and that is not the most tragic Gundam, sadly it is just a sad footnote skirmish that might not have to happen that way.
