30 Day Anime Challenge: Day 9

Day 9 - Saddest Anime Scene Ever

Nagisa's death from Clannad ~After Story. Full stop, no questions asked. This scene was the first in an anime to actually make me cry. And I didn't just cry, I sobbed until I couldn't breathe properly. I couldn't even watch the opening animation for the next six or so episodes without tearing up, because the music was so emotional. And seriously, Tomoya crying over her, holding their new born baby, talking about the future and all the things they'll do as a family, as if to convince himself that she wasn't going to die. And once she actually died "Nagisa! Nagisa! You promised you'll always be with me... we promised we will many times, right?" with emotional montage playing in the background. Oh dear, I'm tearing up just thinking about it.
