Please recommend some sad anime?

Please recommend sad anime with a happy ending. I'm a sentimental person so you might want to suggest anime you think suits me. I've been thinking on buying DVD's of Air, Kanon, and Clannad. Any anime similar to them?

    Saikano, The Last Love Song on This Little Planet.

    The subtitle kind of gives it away. At least the lovers survive and they will stay in love. This is actually a live action show, but there is also a manga.

    This one hasn't been made into an anime yet, but I guarantee you will like it:

    Bitter Virgin. This is one of the most heart-aching stories I have ever read, partly because the mangaka says it is based on her real-life experiences. You will feel so sorry for the main character. A selfish, insensitive guy accidentally hears a deep dark secret about a girl he's not interested in and starts watching her to find out if it's true. He learns to care for her and grows from being a stuck up stupid kid into a kind, caring young man. There are so many cliffhangers! But there is a happy ending. I have read this over and over and don't get tired ot it, it is so beautiful. Make sure you have tissues handy.

    each and every physique will probable advise Clannad or Grave of the Fireflies, inspite of the undeniable fact that i did no longer cry for the duration of the two of those. I DID cry two times for the duration of Angel Beats inspite of the undeniable fact that, and Ano Hana made me bawl for like 5 minutes rapidly. I additionally cried on the top of the two Cowboy Bebop and Trigun, in case you haven't any longer already seen those 2 classics. For video clips, watch summer season Wars and the girl Who Leapt with the aid of Time. I cried two times for the duration of the two certainly one of them, and fortuitously the dubbed variations are extremely extraordinarily stable (for my section). Puella Magi Madoka Magica is gloomy and creepy. I had a pair acquaintances cry jointly as gazing it, yet i did no longer. It strengthen into nonetheless properly worth a watch fastened inspite of the undeniable fact that. additionally, a number of those anime are between 11 and 26 episodes. any extra than that, and additionally you will could desire to ask somebody else's opinion (i can not watch anime longer than that with out it dropping my interest). Oh yeah, and clearly Fullmetal Alchemist. (inspite of the undeniable fact that I under no circumstances finished it... Too long. -_- )

    "clannad" is a good choice, so as its sequel, "clannad: after story". it's worth buying the animation.

    you should watch the sequel straight after the first. i can guarantee you getting yourself a pair of red eyes; if not, then it's alot of *sniff* *sniff*
