Too many times.. There's a lot of heavy drama animes out there. [i]Cry Factor (in Asterisks)[/i] [b]Grave of the Fireflies[/b] [color=red]*****[/color] ([url=http://www.nausicaa.net/miyazaki/grave/]link[/url]) It's generally sad cos it was during WW2 when the atomic bomb was dropped in Japan. The story was about a young boy trying to survive with his little sister. [b]Twin Spica[/b] [color=red]*****[/color] ([url=http://www3.nhk.or.jp/anime/spica/]link[/url]) There were way too many sad scenes in this anime. It's a story about a young girl who lost her mother and her ghost friend.. And her undying dream to go to space and reach the stars. [b]Bare Foot Gen[/b] [color=red]****[/color] ([url=http://www.tcj.com/256/i_nakazawa.html]link[/url]) Disturbing and heart-breaking.. This was based on a true story of a boy who survived the atom bomb in Hiroshima. He lived to tell the tale, his name is Keiji Nakazawa, and was a manga artist. [b]Haibane Renmei[/b] [color=red]****[/color] ([url=http://www.haibanerenmei.com/]link[/url]) This anime was pretty serious, from my favorite animator Abe Yoshitoshi. The story became really disturbing and heart-breaking towards the end. It's about a young girl who was reborn to be a Haibane (not exactly an angel). [b]Spirited Away[/b] [color=red]***[/color] ([url=http://www.spiritedaway.com.au]link[/url]) From acclaimed story-teller Hayao Miyazaki, this was a masterpiece. It's got lots of moods thrown in, but when it makes you sad, it lets you cry a little. It's about a little girl who lost her name, but gains her real identity in return.
