Top 5 Saddest Anime Soundtracks

[iNeedPhone]

I don't think Brothers sounds sad at all to be honest, more kind of uplifting if you ask me...

If you only listen to it and don't watch the video that went with it you might get my point.

[Tsumepawa]

Y U NO PUT THE SPIKE'S DEATH SONG IN COWBOY BEBOP.

[cloud6060]

My saddest anime moment has to be when Nicholas D. Wolfwood does in Trigun. I cried so much when that happened.

[peruamixolovely]

i alway cry when i hear "BROTHER"

[alucarD7Tepes]

my no1 is hte finale of Kenshin's OVA....everytime I see it i can't help but cry...

[01Feilong]

lilium no debe estar en 4to lugar!!!

[ChaoticVincent97]

Oh my god! O.O Man i really thank you i was seraching the title of the anime cuz i havent seen it for years ( lilium ) <3 !!! :D

[TheOnlyRaymondFaude]

The things I would do for anime.....

[Cherryblossoms13100]

I have recently Realized that alkl backstories in Naruto are depressing in some way

Tsunade and the cursed necklace

Itachi and the Uchiha Slaughter

Naruto's dad and the nine tailed fox

Kakashi and the origin's of his eye

GAARA! (nuff said there)

Naruto is filled with childish humor (First saga, original Naruto) Awsome fights (Shipuden) and Depressing backstories...and its still pretty friggin sweet.

[hieu401]

damn it if you watch this video, you get emo

and if you are already emo you cry soooo hard that at leats 3 life-spam will get 'killed'

omfg so sad i was first :'( then became QQ then T.T and then T_T "why are we living in such a world with only pain?" i said

[JakeObnial]

Have you ever heard of the instrumentals from "Now and then, here and there?" Perhaps not..haha!

[JakeObnial]

What's the title of the intro song?

[TheFernando300]

@JakeObnial Escape by Craig Armstrong

[UzumakiNarutoKun96]

Mh Grief and sorrow aka Hokages funeral should take the first place!

[MrGamingOtaku]

Fuck you you forgot the one when ash leaves butterfree >:O

[imper666cod]

Lilium, brother!!

My favorites. I would just add shinkai from elfen lied.

[4evaharrypotterfan]

@imper666cod yeah! not many people know about that song, it's a personal favourite of mine, it helps me write :)

[TheSOSbob]

You can say much about what you think which soundtrack is best or else. But I think how much emotions you feel with a song always depends on what you conect with the song. So if you didnt see any of the animes you will not find them half so sad as the one of which you know anime.

I think Lilium should be higher, at least cause i think Elfenlied is the sadest anime i EVER watched and always when i hear lilium i must think at the sadness and the emotions in the anime so i feel them agein.

[bobetteboo]

I'm not done watching this but why is Lilium 4th! WHY!!! well if you're doing the top 5 most sad animes- Elfen Lied would be at a higher rank! :)

[matteknattetjatte]

id say clannad or maybe kanon 2006 or whatever would be much sader.. school days?

[stueeps1]

any one esle think gaara's life is fu.cked up completly till sepuden(sorry i know i miss spelled it)

[wrathy303]

Fullmetal Alchemist TvT My favorite and saddest anime :'3

[MeasureMyLullaby]

I LOVE DEPARTURE! FROM RUROUNI KENSHIN!

[drren189099]

@hornjo93 yo Rurouni Kenshin Reflection wasn't true, the creator of rurouni kenshin said that the ending was too sad so he made it non canon. The real ending is at the end of the manga where kaoru and kenshin have a son name Kenji

[Sorceress144]

ONE PIECE

One Piece OST -20 - Kujuu ~ Kanashimi no ketsui ~

One piece - Haha Naru Umi.

[kelleycoco2350]

sadness and sorrow always makes me cry TT_TT

[takeo38A]

Take "Brothers" for the No.1 was the right choice!

takeo38A

[BababaMakin]

update this please id like to see some of the recent animes get on here, woodpecker song from deadman wonderland as an example

[ElectroHouseAcid]

I think Naruto - Hokages Funeral (Piano Version) is the saddest :)

[foxfary]

I personaly cried more in the end of AIR am I the only one who thinks its like the saddest anime ever?

[rediceoverdose]

@foxfary I do, Air is the Saddest anime that I have watched.

[Jerome7lover1998xn]

i think number 3 is the saddest..

[Deafiguana]

... I cryed at #3 cuz rurni kenshin is my favorite anime tho i never finished it... I didnt know he leaves in the end....... Thats so sad

[p94mitch]

@Deafiguana the anime never finished, it ended with 50 episodes of fillers, if u watch till the end of shishio arc thats all there is, and i suggest you do its great

[COOLxKIDxMILLI]

@Deafiguana I didn't know that either :( now I gotta go watch all the episodes and finally finish 1 of my favorite animes

[hornjo93]

@Deafiguana actually in that scene when he was leaving, that wasn't even close to the ending. If u want to know what happened watch Rurouni Kenshin: Seisouhen thats the ending.



[emotrainer4444]

@Deafiguana in the OVA (which the Creator said is non-cannon) HE DIEDED!!! D:

[hardstylemanga16]

@Deafiguana well kenshin didn't left them, kenshin was just trying to pull out his "battosai" once again

[blueivyheart]

@Deafiguana he doesn't leave at the end, he leaves in the middle. then he comes back and they get maried and they have a kid. =D

[javierich0]

@Deafiguana he comes back and has a kid, the he dies

[Candlegirl12345]

that's so cruel saying that to a little kid. Gaara! We're on your side! Sob sob

[whiteknight140]

FFFFFMMMMMAAAAA !!!!!

FTW

[itzJack84]

I don't agree with this.. but of course that's your opinion. My opinion is........ 1 saddest: Elfien Lied-Lilium. Even though im a guy i cried 5 times watchin that show

[mysteriousdarkwolf]

1 and 2 = definitely the saddest </3 i was so sad i wanted to puke both times

[skullface32]

Elfien Lied-Lilium is the saddest song in this collection hands down...

[dragon121314166]

I think the song inocent days from code geass should be in there or the song from the ending of code geass

[MrIlikepie011]

I always get sad with that naruto theme T_T

[Arowwe]

Listend to the song while Nagisa is dieing in clannad...That is sad.

[chinapeach14]

Does anyone know the episode in Rurouni Kenshin that has the scene from 2:23 to 2:28? Love the song, though!

[ultimatefantasy1]

@chinapeach14 Its Departure

look it up Rurouni kenshin Departure

[greekid99]

Gaara... sweetheart :'(

[5963214785]

*cries*

[mcrlopher]

ELFEN LIED!!!:(

[ninitehila]

awww poor little gaara :(

[HolyXerxes]

Elfen Lied!!! owh MY!!!

[LiliumPiano]

Listen Code Geass-Masquerade , Requiem of zero , and Unjust Life by Angel Beats T_T

[MusicWithoutLight]

FMA oh so sad T.T The story of brothers that long to be whole.

[LoulouEndMama]

The songs Bratja and Brothers are so beautiful !

[naota888]

@lawlietalan your a loser for commenting in spanish.

[4favoriteanime]

@naota888 dont say that its rude the person who commetted in spanish may not know english, plus then you are insulting alot of people who comment in different languages.

[maruku0]

@naota888 You're a loser for insulting his language, when you used "your" instead of "you're" You can't even speak English properly, you shuoldn't be worrying about other peoples language, mkay big kid? ;D

[naota888]

The first anime on this video sucks. Idk why it's even on here.

[LoveDrawingxP]

It wasnt until i started reading the manga that i knew the blond person that tried to kill Gaara was a guy

[ISnickers1337I]

Lilium and Brothers are really sad but awesome.

[asiancong]

unjust life is pretty sad ..

[xxxsherrelxxx]

Gaar's song is the one I love the most..because I know how bad loneliness is.

[willlovesmith]

Fuck. Why did you have to do this to me?

[TheElectricGoop]

Despair from Naruto Shippuden is a sad one.

[netter11]

Where the hell is Chiisana te no hira??



[RyanFreeman96]

Clannad & Angel Beats! FTW!

[hcsr1995]

angel beats finishing song or any other song in this particular anime

[03Clief]

Haha Naru Umi - One piece,For who is fan,hear it in the same time that you see Portgas D. Ace dying ;|

[plasmaraider]

If I may ask how did u get the moving light animations in the beginning and the end btw they are really sad songs but I think suteki da ne is sadder

[Zanmefagalion]

Ahh~ really agree on bratja and lilium. But none of these beat muumintani no fuyu.

[waalkwriter]

It's hard with Naruto. Personally, I find Sasori's theme to be the saddest. It just really gets me. Loneliness is another great, but sad theme from that series.

[johannsebastienbach]

the ending song from tehxnolyze... beats them all if you have seen the anime

[Amarylian]

For me - "Lilium" [Elfen Lied] & "Light Lights up Light for piano" [Death Note]

[afonsomiguelf]

What are the songs from fullmetal here??

[KittyKatRock15]

@afonsomiguelf Kyoudai from the ost :)

[GaimonMaster]

que pasa !! y ONE PIECE TIENE MEJORES SOUNDTRACKS

[thanatosor]

If Final Fantasy was a anime then "suteki da ne" ?

[sasll10]

ace from one piece this is the saddest thump up one piece fan

[metalalvich]

T_____T

why!

[geLieme13]

hell yeah Departure's the like saddest you can find...

[SantoryuWazamono]

NO ONE PIECE?

[InjectMorphineIntoMe]

#4 and sadness of sorrows and brothers, yeah, doesn't get any sadder than that.

[MusicNinjas]

Damn the Rurouni Kenshin one really got to me :( oh how I miss that show so much

[YeLLowCarDxGirL]

I actually knew the first three songs! They are the saddest,,. :(

[AlecsMusicChannel]

look up The Sky Crawlers, it's an anime about an airplane pilot stuck in a repeating world destined to die, but it has some amazing soundtracks that sound pretty sad.

[TheHolmesWolf]

Ah, so sad :'(

[QueenSnookie2]

Soundscape to Ardor - Bleach

Never Meant to Belong- Bleach

Lilium- Elfen Lied

Saddest songs... EVUR! I dare you to listen to them.

[Jimziieboy]

@QueenSnookie2 listen to Fairy Tail OST - Kanashiki Kako / Sad Song. Just some recommendations :D

[jackalhunt1]

@QueenSnookie2 Considering that bleach hasn't a clue how to be sad, no matter how sad it's soundtrack can get (Which is very) it will never get into this list.

This is a list of sad sound tracks that people can listen to and go 'Fuck me I remember this moment"

Lilium- The last episode when they talk on the stairs.

A moon filled sky- When yuuko reveals that she is violently beaten and raped.

Shining in the sky- Ushios death in the snow.

Requiem for the Brigadier General - Hugh.

[QueenSnookie2]

@jackalhunt1 Bleach can be really sad, I actually cried in these parts.

Kaien's death.

Rukia having to kill Aaroniero

Orihime saying goodbye to Ichigo.

Rukia leaving Ichigo for the first time.

The sad story of Ichigo's mom.

Orihiime's sad story of her brother.

GIN'S DEATH!!!!

Rukia saying goodbye the second time.

These parts were really sad that I cried, I'm not saying that it's the saddest but it's really sad.

[jackalhunt1]

@QueenSnookie2 I respect that opinion even if I do dissagree. It's just my opinion that bleach didn't have very good characterisation, I never connected with any of the characters and thus I never really got upset if they died or anything bad happens to them.

I mean my list was made up of the song that plays when a young girl admits that shes beaten and raped, another is when a guys daughter dies in his arms from the same illness that took his wife. To me these are a lot more..

[jackalhunt1]

@QueenSnookie2 Meaningfull

[Momentum139]

@QueenSnookie2 Gymnopedies 01. "used in" Haruhi Suzumiya/Disappearance.

I dare YOU.

[SHINeeFF]

@QueenSnookie2 yeah and you must hear naruto shippuden senya

[VongolaXEspada]

@QueenSnookie2

FUCK ALL OF THOSE!!!! FMA BROTHERS IS A MILLION TIMES BETTER *CRIES*

[deadhead771]

The naruto one brings me back sad memories :,(

[cobain24hammet]

where the fuck is yuyu hakusho??

[BadXFox]

Im in the sad part of youtube again :'(

[KnallDieSau]

i think the saddest song is: naruto - oh! student and teach <3

[YoungK1llah]

ahahahaha i wrote this when it was at number 3. told you it was good.. Rated at #1

[YoungK1llah]

Its all about Full Metal Alchemist soundtrack. the song is called Brother.

CHECK IT OUT YOU WONT REGRET IT !!!!!!!!

[VesRok]

wat's the name of the last anime ?

[drogba656]

@VesRok

full metal alchemist

[SailorJupiter246]

SHOOT! I FORGOT WHAT NARUTO EPISODE THAT WAS!!! Can somebody tell me if they know? I watched before I just wanna watch again... (I almost cried...) LOL

[Zenskari]

@SailorJupiter246 if i remember corectly its then one they have the threds feunatrel in witch it just after naruto and gara fight so i think its the in the high end of the 30 eps i think :)

[Johnny3tears4eva]

@SailorJupiter246 Not sure of the episode number but the episode is called Assasin of the Moonlit night

[SeACt2]

full metal alchemist soundtrack for me is not a sad song. its somewhat gives a "wondering" or "lost" feeling. not sad. but merely a feeling of lost and uncertainty. smthing like that.

[FreeSpiritAnime]

Kenshin :')

[LunarAnimeAngel]

I started crying during the gaara and brothers song. Poor kids.

[WTFced]

Okay okay, thnks ,now I will watch Naruto ,FMA and Kenshin again!

[punica300]

clannad: Town, Flow of Time, People it´s my fav.

[ni777ful]

aww poor gaara

[gaaralover0007]

when gaara's past came up in the show i cryed........gaara........

[rimmyex]

Ah the two brothers' journey and their sad past :'( Elfen Lied :( Nana, Kurama and Mariko, so sad. The song was so beautiful T_T I wonder if you'll make an updated version. Angel Beats: Unjust Life, My Most Precious Treasure | Bleach: Soundscape to Ardor, Never Meant to Belong | D.Gray-man: Reunion | Kuroshitsuji: Si deus me relinquit | Code Geass: Continued Story, Innocent Days, Boku wa Tori ni Naru | Fate/Stay Night: Kizuna |

That's about all I can think of. There's more, like Clannad, though.

[MatiasErhu]

you forgotten kikyo's theme from Inuyasha... thats really sad!!

[killersmile092]

naruto is number anime for me

[lawlietalan]

elfen lied esa melodia es muy triste pero el opening me da miedo y cuando estoy solo me gusta escucharlo

[MonsterlyLemon]

OMG I so totally agree you you!!! After watching FMA I almost could never listen to that song without crying and wailing about "Ed didn't need to die! Those bastards!!" :)

[BRONXGIRL123456789]

@chickennuggets964 theres 2 animes fullmetal alchemist and fullmetal alchemist brotherhood

[BRONXGIRL123456789]

@MasterLarper  tha anime u want is called fullmetal alchemist, there are to versions fullmetal alchemist and fullmetal alchemist brotherhood

[ZioPruno]

OMG pls listen to "Never meant to belong" and "Soundscape to Ardor" by Bleach and "Light's theme" by Death Note.

[bluejamist]

wonderful list, thanks! I must say, I agree most with your no.1.

[MiyukiRinMatsumoto]

FULL METAL ALCHEMIST <3

[blackplaig]

Elfen Lied :D

[creedrituel]

no.3 should be no.1 but nobody can argue about no.1 because FMA is the sadest main stream anime as far as i know..

[mkach1000]

what's the name of opening to this video ?? it's awesome

[kyubi4hokage]

I think Grief and Sorrow is the saddest Naruto song. songs 5 4 and 3 didn't make me cry, but if I had watched the anime's, I bet they would have. There were a few other FMA songs I think were worse than that, (sadness wise) but i like your choice! thanks for the upload!!!

[epicx3ify]

Epic opening to this video.

[histugayabyakuya]

Bleach has some really sad song. But I still think the song for full metal alchemist is the saddest anime song.

[Jmaster677]

ruruouni kenshin ftw

[stickdefeater246]

D; where bleach?

[tierchen88]

toll #1 hat die schlechteste qualli -.-

[mrsbirdie2278]

Almost all the sad songs has a violin.

[IceyCat134]

Where is Setsunai Omoi from Tokyo Mew Mew?

[NightSilverDragon]

knew Elfen Lied would turn up

[ShinjiElricMustang]

Brothers isnt the saddest, though I do love the anime so much *glomps ed* But I find there are songs I have from Inuyasha and DNAngel are sadder.

[sabbocheek]

@ShinjiElricMustang Yeah FMA is the best but I think that that opening was the saddest.

[jakassme]

actully one of the saddest ending was cowboy beboop

number 4 was just depressing

[Deidarafreak14]

TT^TT poor Gaara!!! i have fallen to sleep to "sadness and Sorrow" many times, and every time i cry. but it's just so beautiful....

[Slide2TheLeft]

i missed "dearest" from inuyasha. i am not really an inuyasha fan, but this masterpiece of music is really on the top of sadness. listen to it and you will see

[msclarkkent11]

WOOOO!!!!!! GO ELFEN LIED!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1997Miyako]

NARUTO has the best sad song

FULL METAL is one of my favorite anime in the world!!>.<

[RSKorosiya]

Poor Gaara, his own father made his mother pretend to be a ninja attacking him, then Gaara attacked back to defend himself (he didn't know it was her mother) then he almost killed her and then she reveals himself to be the mother :(

[djfjfhrjfikdk]

@RSKorosiya Not true. First, Gaara is a dude, so there is no 'her'. And that person he attacks is actually his uncle, his mother's brother. It was he who was ordered to attack Gaara and pretend that Gaara's mother never loved him. Gaara's mother died in childbirth.

[RSKorosiya]

@djfjfhrjfikdk First off I was referring to Gaara's mother with "Her" dumbass

[djfjfhrjfikdk]

@RSKorosiya So, by 'her mother' you mean Gaara's mother's mother was attacking him. That's even more off.

[RSKorosiya]

@djfjfhrjfikdk Mk

[linkinfacu]

sadness and sorrow from sarutobi funeral is more sad, the death of the third hokage..

[goldenskullrose]

SAMURAI X!!! Uwaaaaaahhhhhh!!!! TT^TT

[LUITEN1]

AND SADNESS AND SORROW :(

[LUITEN1]

DEPARTURE :(

[TheXXshadowXx123]

Naruto<3

[detre07]

5 centimeters per second - End Theme.

[4evaharrypotterfan]

I wouldn't neccsesarly call brothers the saddest, but it's my personal fave!

I'm learnning it on violin! GO ME!!!!!

[timootei]

hey, what did you use to create your intro? well done

[sTrafe69xp]

what song playing in outro?

[sTrafe69xp]

@sTrafe69xp

escape by craig amstrong

[stupszwerg]

Fullmetal Alchemist... "Brothers" just made the whole ending sadder ;(

[DaltonOls]

I love Brothers.

[stinkypitz0005]

God, Elfien Lied was so gorey but so sad at the same time. It was hard not shedding tears at that last part but I managed.

[Nova7o9]

This was great! And I'm so glad Rurouni Kenshin was in there. ^_^

[D0DG3D]

the funny thing about this compilation is hat most of teh songs (except elfen lied) is sort of taken from different finnish songs from around the 60-80s...im not saying its a total rip but it sure sounds hell-of-a-lot similar in many ways

[yadukari]

Lilium... fourth!!!!! WTF!

[Leon3347]

Man Of The World - Naruto Shippuuden OST... the best for me

[brenica1000]

if i knew garra in real life he wouldnt ever been alone .....poor garra

[YokooHaru]

@brenica1000 it's Gaara no Garra ...

[Drayneee]

@brenica1000 Am sorry but that is the biggest lie ever if you knew garra in real life you would know him as a monster , none would have the guts to try and befriend a demon. (not saying he's a demon just my point is that if a boy with massive power lived near you and be a threat to the whole village i don't think you will go. -hey want to come to my b-day?-

[gaaralover0007]

@Drayneee demon or not i would risk geting killed so he had a friend anyway i have no purpose in life...

[TheMMAN90]

@brenica1000 yeah poor gara, people keep spelling his name wrong and he can not do anything about it :( poor gara

[Drayneee]

@brenica1000 everyone can say i would put my life on the line but only a small amount will actually do it even emos that talking about death are still afraid of it.

[FlashLina]

Like because of Brothers , elfenlied & naruto . You guy know how it goes !

[gomeznl]

i would add home sweet home from grave of fireflies. i almost cried bcuz of that movie
