Top 80 Best Sad Anime To Watch

Sneha Chatterjee Sneha - Updated Jan 16, 2025

We won't be talking about "happily ever after" today because that's not always the case. I know people like happy endings. Do you know what the reason is? It is because most of us do not get what we intend to, in our real lives.

Therefore, we satisfy our wants by looking at some fantasy series where the protagonist accomplishes those goals and lives the life of our dreams. But, what about the characters who suffer insanely even in an anime?

What about those who do not get a moment of relief throughout the journey of their life? What about separated lovers, cursed lives, and tragic endings? Can we not for once (at least) get out of our fantasy bubbles and empathize with them?

Life is mostly cruel and we need to live with that in mind. Without further ado, Let's begin with our list of the 'The saddest anime of all time'.

This is one of the most heartbreaking animes out there. The story revolves around two brothers, who try to revive their dead mother through the process of Alchemy. Alchemy follows the Law of Equivalent Exchange, which that means if one wants to gain something, one should sacrifice something of equal value.

In the process of bringing back their mother, Edward loses his left leg and Alphonse loses his entire physical body. Devastated and alone, Edward does a lot of Alchemy to fix his brother's soul in an armour suit in exchange for his left arm.

He struggles hard to find ways for fixing their bodies and bringing them back to their normal state. Edward works specifically hard to fix Alphonse's soul. That's what happens when two young boys, out of love, try to get their mother back.

Instead, they lose their own parts in the process.

A Silent Voice is one of the saddest animes of all time. Redemption and guilt are the main themes. Shouya, a wild youth is shown to bully Shouko, a new transfer student in his class.

Shouko is deaf and Shouya along with his friends makes her life miserable. When notified by the principal, he was singled out and punished. The guilt of his wrongdoings continues haunting him and all he wants is to meet Shouko and make amends for his behaviour.

Although the shadows of his past never let him stay in peace, he will overcome them and try hard to get closer to Shouko. We will see how the two fall in Love.

Shouko helps Shouya overcome his guilt and makes him realize that he is not alone and that his friends still care for him. Although the anime does not have a sad ending, it deserves first place on the list because of the storyline being one of the saddest throughout.

It is only in the end, that things take a turn to the positive side.

If you are in for some fights and combats, then this anime is for you, my friend. Allow me to introduce you to one of the best fighting anime of all time, Rurouni Kenshin.

And the reason why it is one of the best is that it carries some heavy emotions and sentiments. This essentially makes it so much more sad and memorable. So let's quickly go through the synopsis.

The fate of the nation depends on Kenshin. A strong warrior whose skills are incredible as ever. While shouldering such a huge responsibility, his heart is divided between justice and corruption.

Kenshin was destined to become a swordsman, but his heart was too soft for such a role. A kind man who wouldn't have the strength to raise his arm against someone.

However, destiny has something else in store for him. And that is going to change him forever. Moreover, this change is going to mark a beginning. The beginning of a completely new era.

What will be his ultimate fate? This anime is filled with high-octane action and drama.

Life means so much more. They were denied all the comforts, the dreams, the laughter, the happiness, everything. Death was a blessing in disguise. Setsuko dies even before Seita, and her spirit gets trapped in a tin box.

Only to be free, after Seita's death, and they get reunited. The brother and sister then climb up to the hilltop, overlooking the city of Kobe, where they once lived with their mother and father.

As if three devastating Holy Grail wars were not enough for mankind to suffer, that the wealthy Eizbern Family is all set to trigger another one. For such reasons, the family gets their only daughter married to the most hated killer Emiya, in order to have a lifelong pact with him.

Oh, what an idea! Daughters have always been a good "commodity" to trade with, isn't it? Want peace? Get them married to the enemy. Want money? Sell her to a wealthy merchant.

Want a killer? Get her married to him. Wonderful isn't it? The way the world gets back to us daughters when in need, is absolutely amazing and ironic. (To those who didn't get it.

Sarcasm was intended). What will happen by the end? Will the Einzbern Family succeed? Whatever the results are, we can rest assured that people will die on the battlefield for no fault of theirs, fighting battles for someone else.

The importance of a close friend is often underrated in our lives. People think friends are nothing but the ones with whom we hang out. And that's very far from the truth.

Instead, they are the ones who help us overcome a lot of difficult situations, which sometimes cannot be shared with our parents. The death of a close friend can cut you into pieces, and sometimes you never really recover from the loss.

Jinta and his group of friends grow apart from each other, following the death of Meiko. Meiko was very close to all of them, and this incident haunts them forever.

Whenever they see one other, it's Meiko whom they miss. One hot summer, Meika pesters Jinta to keep one of his promises made years ago. The fact that she is dead, convinces Jinta that he is hallucinating.

When he discovers that in reality, it was Meika's ghost, the group of friends reunites to put her soul to rest. While trying to help her, will they be able to reignite the lost friendship?

Will they be able to overcome the guilt that still remains, deep inside their hearts?

The journey for sure, won't be an easy one. They will have their own share of thorns. On their way to the PenguinDrum, they will meet others who have set out from their homes with the same goal to change their rates.

What will happen till the end? Will Himari die even before her brothers return?

Anne is an orphan girl whom nobody has adopted yet and her life is full of misery. But something magical happens one day. Supernatural? Nah! Something natural but magical. A mistake!

Yes, a mistake by the people of the orphanage, who sent Anne (a girl) to Mr & Mrs Cuthbert, who instead "ordered a boy". Didn't they return her back to the orphanage?

Anne's luck favoured her this time, after 11 long years, and she was accepted as a member of the Cuthbert family. Her lively nature made her new parents fall in love with her and within a few days, they couldn't imagine life without Anne.

Tragedies, loneliness, and all possible feelings of a depressed heart were already experienced by Anne. Now, it was time for her to experience happiness with her parents. Imagine how difficult life is for those who have nobody to rely upon, no home to return to, no shoulder to cry on!

The World is divided into two: in one part lives the Insiders and in the other the Outsiders. This has somehow become a characteristic feature of a living World. It is all about a human, and a beast.

When Shiva, a little human girl, meets 'Teacher' a beastly Outsider, they somehow connect and share a quiet coexistence on the same side of the forest. Being on the same side is forbidden because the Outsiders are said to have the power to curse those whom he touches.

And yet, here we are, looking at two beings - one human, and one inhuman, existing together without any conflict.

Now THIS, this is some Dr. Stone type anime here, ladies and gentlemen. Cells At Work is a very fun anime to watch and enjoy. However, the Code Black version is a bit more on the sad side of things.

Let's see more about it. It isn't about us, and yet, it is about us! The story portrays the difficulties our body cells go through in order to protect us.

Wrong lifestyle choices and a bad diet make their job increasingly difficult. It's about their plight, whose sole reason or cause is our carelessness towards our bodies. They try hard to fulfil their responsibilities even after seeing their fellow cells lose their lives.

With the lives of human beings, the lives of many other organisms are connected. Of course, we tend to ignore everything but ourselves. This anime makes us realize how wrong that is.

This anime gained popularity very quickly and you can understand why it happened. Shows like these add emotions and sentiments to science and make them such incredible pieces.

Memories - do they ever get old? No one knows what is the strange connection between things long lost and things being born in this new world, but both feel nostalgic.

Rain Town is an anime short film depicting a forgotten town in Japan where the rain doesn't stop. Almost symbolizing the sorrow of being forgotten. How would one feel if their reared children don't even remember them as their parents?

In the anime, a little girl meets a robot in the long-forgotten Rain Town. Strangers right? Apparently not. The reunion reminded them of memories dug deep within our minds (hearts maybe).

The robot, he never really forgot her, the girl might have. Things are so temporary, and this 10-minute short story expressed it all so well.

One hundred takes by Yamaoka. That's where it all began. Tired of writing stories and riddles for children, Yamaoka decided to try his hands on ghost stories. While researching materials for his book, he comes across a trio called Ongyou.

What is the role of the trio in the anime? They are a group of detectives who have been hunting out for legends and myths and fact-checking them, to know the truths.

They are the ones who hunted out whether a story is real or a falsification of the original one. But the question is, were these truths made for Yamaoka's eyes?

Was it not dangerous for him to experience this? This anime is not "sad" in the sense we take the word "sad" as. Rather, it deserves a position here because of its darkness and gloominess.

No crimes committed and yet accused of conspiracy? That's what happens if the King becomes a Mad King. Obsessed by the idea of getting assassinated, the King of Syracuse sentences Melos to death for conspiracy.

Out of all the men in the town why him? Well, that's all because he was walking in the Castle's garden with a sword in hand, which was bought for his sister's marriage ritual.

He gets the King to leave him for three days to at least attend his sister's wedding and give her the sword. That's how much he loves her. His request is granted.

But will he die just because the King wants to satisfy his obsession? Won't there be justice in the world? The man who gives justice is the one who sentenced him to death. So, there's no way out of it rather than dying.

It's not a competition anymore, it's a desperate survival battle! Yes, that's the case in Magical Girl Raising Project. Although the name of the anime sounds too good to be a tragic story, the reality is different.

In N-City, the Magical Girl was a popular game. 1 in 10,000 girls was given the powers of a magical girl and each time they helped somebody, they were given a magical candy.

So far so good, but people don't like good things it seems. The girls are notified that 16 magical girls are a bit too much in one city and therefore they need to win a competition to keep their powers.

Little did they know how frightening the results of losing the competition would be. When they did, the competition wasn't a competition anymore. It turned into a life-or-death battle. Who will live?

And, who will die? Is it necessary to take things to the extreme level even in a game? What is this fascination with death and war?

This is about relationships, long-distance relationships to be exact! And the "Relatability" factor in this anime is amazing, to say the least. No matter how strong a relationship is, sometimes distance succeeds in killing or destroying it.

Noboru and Mikako are very close friends. They get separated from each other when Mikako gets selected for a military space expedition. As the distance increases, their communication decreases. They try hard to maintain a connection but it gets more and more difficult with every passing day.

Will they be able to beat the distance and maintain their bond? If they do, it will probably be an inspiration for us and hope for all the friends and couples out there, missing their beloved ones.

How far can you go for revenge? I have no idea about you all, but in this anime, people cross all the limits of taking revenge. It isn't humane anymore.

The whole notion of going to "hell" is fictional and therefore we might not be able to imagine how painful it can be. But think for a second, what if all the rumours regarding "hell" are actually true?

What if people are truly tormented intensely there? If it's all true, would you ever like to send somebody there to take revenge? One who sends a living person to hell is the one who agrees to go to hell after death.

What now? It affects your decision, right? Yet, there are people who don't mind suffering after death, if that can fetch them the opportunity to torment others. In this anime, we have Ai Enma, the Hell Girl who helps others do the same.

But something strange happens. A mysterious girl has been following them lately. Who might this be? A saviour of mankind? What is her fate?
